I agree that bad judgements do not equal bad tech, but when the tech does not allow the brakes to be applied in a situation where it's expected that they would work, then the tech is bad (in that situation). If the ABS essentially causes you to freewheel into an intersection when all known...

Yes, the judgement of a random internet forum poster is much more credible. :rolleyes: Kidding aside, the video is a bit hokey, but there are several others that essentially reproduce the same results. Yes, pros can out-brake ABS after repeated attempts in known and controlled conditions (i.e...

In general, I'm a proponent of ABS on street bikes, but there are several reported instances of ABS kicking in and providing essentially no stopping power when braking over a series of stutter bumps. The theory is that the wheel would lock as it unloaded entering the divot causing ABS to...

Dirtbikes obviously have a significantly different use case, and hence requirements, than street bikes. I have read other cases where stutter bumps in the emergency stop path can be an issue for an ABS equipped bike, when the stutters essentially coincide with the ABS on/off cycling. I believe...

x1000. Would not do again. Heading more directly from Lindsay to North Bay, up the west side of Algonquin would provide more scenic options, but cut down on your route. Perhaps Lindsay to Barry's Bay, then westward through Algonquin and onto North Bay would preserve most of the route...

How much longer can Lorenzo's string of bad luck continue? Adjusting to a new bike has to be hard enough, but geez, if not for bad luck this guy wouldn't have any luck.

For the price of this parcel, and all the development required, not to mention the challenges of environmental and other regs, wouldn't they be better off buying Shannonville and doing some upgrades and nearby offsite accommodations, etc? The drive from the GTA isn't much different, and...

I ride plenty, but this would be a truck and trailer trip if I'm going to come home with another bike. 3.5 hours one way from my location now, or more if traffic through the GTA sucks. Recently relocated and I don't miss that daily commuter traffic one bit!

His FZ750 and VF750, each at $1500, both look like they're in fantastic shape. But did you see where he's located! The bikes look worth every cent he's asking, but the drive to get them kills the "worth it" measurement for me.

Ha ha! Lorenzo hit the pit lane limiter button at the start of the race, thus explaining his extremely poor start. Not a Lorenzo fan, but I feel a bit sorry for him due to his miserable string of bad luck. Lorenzo pressed pit speed limiter at start of Argentina MotoGP race

Could I trouble anyone to share the link to this years' races with me? Thanks.

This was my favourite of the bunch:

I'm looking for a legal site to purchase MP3's. I want to be able to purchase the MP3's and place them on my NAS so I can stream them to any device in my home, and occasionally move them to a device to take with me when out for a ride. I'm not interested in subscription / streaming services...

Pulled the ad. No longer available.

A friend and I are planning a Thursday to Sunday trip late this month. Kingston is home base. We've done New York, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Vermont, etc. in the past. Thinking of staying in Canada this time, partly due to poor exchange rate. Any route suggestions that would fit in our...

I tend to be pro-police when I hear bike/cop stories, but articles like this really leave me with a bad taste regarding the police. http://www.niagarafallsreview.ca/2015/07/22/nrp-sgt-convicted-of-impaired-driving Better late then never I guess, but she/they would have got away with it if the...
