Grinding the rivet during removal is not only faster, but probably also prolongs the life of the chain tool. A dremel works fine if you don't have an actual grinder.

Well, let's start with how the car and motorcycle ended up nowhere near the intersection and facing the same way, but with the helmet on the other side ofthe car? Clearly, the motorcycle T-boned the car's dirver side, but how?

OK, so just to be sure I understand, we can post these same news reports into the General forum and there we can collaborate to figure out what happened, just not in the Fallen Riders forum? https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/collision-in-mississauga-leaves-motorcyclist-dead-peel-police-1.7002970...

I think case study is much more valuable than hypotheticals. Maybe the rule could be changed to "no thoughtless and mean-spirited conversation - stick to the facts." Here's an example. Last week I almost got wiped out by left turner at a light. If worse came to worse, I would hope that someone...

While I understand that the rules in place are to prevent discussion of whether a rider was right or wrong, I think this is a lost opportunity to understand the FACTS of the incident so that we can learn from it. I personally try to reconstruct each of these from what little info is available to...

OK, maybe I should have said resistant to swelling from contact with fuel, which is a major cause of problems in the fuel line quick couplings I have.

I forgot you're farther out west than Mississauga, so you could also try Seals Unlimited in in Burlington, assuming it's the same company that was in Port Credit back in 2007 - they helped me figure out which seals to get for the Ducati and gave them to me free as samples since I only needed a...

You want viton o-rings for fuel resistance. Call D&D Engineering in Mississauga, that's where I get my o-rings when I don't feel like waiting or over-paying for OEM o-rings. They do have a minimum charge, though, so I usually buy extras which I'll need anyways for my Ducati fuel pump base and...

Yeah, "SC Pro" in the text says it all. Slimy, but still not as bad as the poeple knowingly selling counterfeit name-brand safety gear that's difficult to distinguish from authentic at first glance. Some unsuspecting rider thinks they're getting a deal on quality protection, until it shreds...

My point exactly. If we want to be effective at reducing speeding, we need to be proactive, not retroactive. If we can't get police presence, then at least something with asinilar effect - like I said, conspicuous signs/lights with clear communication of the consequences. As to your questions...

If weather is no good for the Thursday night ride, and there are classic cars there, maybe I'll bring the M3 out. Hasn't been driven in a couple years, but just changed the fuel pump so at least is starts!

So come out to the Thursday night ride!

I’ve heard this may no longer be true, or at least not all dealers adhere to it any more. That said, I’ve heard great stories about the ones that do, including staying open to the middle of the night to fix problems.

I have no issues with traffic calming in school zones, but how is a speed camera effective if all it does is fine you AFTER you've committed an offense? I think giant speed bumps would be more effective and cost taxpayers less.

I spy with my little eye - a Hawk! And one I know well (or at least used to). Damn, I was 50/50 on showing up tonight.

I'm surprised, unless he didn't realize it's a single sided rear wheel with no bearings. I've heard that the Ducati rear wheels can be balanced on an automotive balancer. @Lightcycle - I can also offer my tire machine in Mississauga, if you want to just get the tire mounted for now and wait for...

If the speed cameras' true purpose was to actually slow people down in certain areas, there would also be highly conspicuous flashing warnings to identify a slow zone and speed camera ahead. Instead, they have small inconspicuous signs only prior to deployment, and put the cameras in...

I mainly use this digital gauge because the display is large enough to read without my reading glasses. It matches the readings from my old analog gauge and the TPS in my car: https://www.princessauto.com/en/digital-pistol-grip-air-inflator/product/PA0008688194 PSA: When it runs low on...

Good thing, because those should go to at least 15,000 kms (based on my friend's MT-09).
