It'd be nice if they went after insurance companies again. It's probably the only topic where I've never heard a positive conversation or outcome. The most positive conversation being a, "thankfully they paid out in the end". If only those absolutely bogus commercials about post accident...

New I overestimated my smartphone camera. Bit of a hint what's behind

Does that "plane" count? Old: 195 Carlingview Dr, Etobicoke, ON M9W 5E8 Edit: got ahead of myself and forgot to post the address

I'm getting 2019 Grom from the headlight straight on.

Windscreen helps. Earplugs for sure. Go with hard luggage. I regret buying soft luggage and I'm too cheap to buy again. Its a pain in the butt messing with straps at the end of a long day riding and you just want to get a change of clothes so you can hop in the shower. Tank bag is a must...

While I can't recommend anything from personal experience that meets your criteria, I have my eye on a Super Duke GT in the future. The feature list screams do everything on pavement fast and in comfort. If they had offered a 790 Duke GT when I bought mine, that would have been the option instead.

Surefire EP4 or EP5. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B004K9NXJW/ref=emc_b_5_t?th=1&psc=1 I do change them out every year or so because the silicone eventually gets hard. I like them a lot as they seem to only reduce loud noises which is mostly what wind is. I can still have a conversation with them on.

Hey guys, I have no plate, no insurance, I'm new at this, come meet me at an empty parking lot at 3am! :rolleyes: How many nopes can you spot in that statement?

Eagerly awaiting the for sale ad.

QA is just another word for Warranty. However, just like any warranty, it needs to be spelt out exactly what is and isn't covered and the timelines (Service Level Agreements/SLA). As they came back with $8000, then you aren't talking basic stuff and you really should read their response to...

The CBR650R is definitely marketed towards the 600 Supersport crowd now that the CBR600RR is discontinued. Heck, Honda's own press notes had moto 'journalists' parroting it as the successor. Its the only in production full faired inline 4 sub 900cc. The only faired M2 license friendly bikes...

Group rides in general till you get your danger sense calibrated. Group rides tend to encourage newbies to outride their ability. Not saying you can't do group rides. It's just a separate skill set to ride together with several people without a means to communicate while on unfamiliar roads...

I've probably spent $400 in quadlock stuff. Don't regret any of it. Latest purchases were the anti vibration damper and the wireless charger. Also the ring stand. I'm sure i'll lose the ring stand sooner than later since it has to be detached from the phone but I'll probably buy another two...

It's all good. I don't even try when its graffiti or a statue though.

Many parallels with my experiences. Not so on the Russian model though. Good job on that one! My mom had a similar incident. 3 car pileup on the Gardiner some 20 years ago. Slowing traffic and 3rd car pushed her into the car in front. 3rd car's driver stated that my mom crashed into the...

Racism against Asians in Canada pre-dated outsourcing and some of those 50+ year old reasons are still here today.

On this topic, with family in Vancouver, Winnipeg and Toronto, yeah, racism against Asians is real in Canada. As a whole, we(overgeneralizing) don't complain about it, and socioeconomically, aren't affected as badly as some other visible minorities. It's there though in other ways. I grew up...

10+ some years ago used to be great. Portions were as big as the flavor. Line out the door even past midnight. Those days are gone. Just think, they had such an amazing rep that 10 years since switching to terrible frozen patties and people still remember the name.

IMO, comms are something you don't want to have to buy again for no reason. The difference in price between say, a freecom 2 ($180 single unit) and a Packtalk Bold + JBL ($335 single unit) seems like a lot for a single upfront purchase, but these units can last many, many years (even longer if...

Even without the safety, you still need to transfer ownership to get a plate so that requires the other documents. Again, a degree of trust or effort is required. Most sellers would be selling it out of their own home so this may all be moot. They may be cool holding onto the bike for a few...
