The typical service costs for my Ducati so far are no more then a typical Japanese bike. Not sure if alot of these comparisons are being made on older Ducati bikes. But from my understanding is that Ducati have been changing ever since the VW Group purchased the company. The reliability...

Well I do know that on my Ducati 939 Supersport the Desmo service is at 30,000 km S. Which I think is reasonable. So far the bike has been reliable. There have been a few recalls all handled by the Dealer with no issues on parts supply etc. My previous bikes were Kawisakis and were extremely...

There is a place in Oshawa called REGEAR that will buy used motorcycle gear off you. They don't give you much for it cause they also have to resell it and make a small profit. But at least if the gear is in good condition it wouldn't go to waste. If that is your main concern. Plus REGEAR is a...

Agreed with your last point. The problem now is with these laws coming in and the politically correct reasons behind them.We may end up with enforcement that doesn't take into account the type of rider and instead puts us all in the same group. As you noted you have a loud bike but you choose...

That's not what I was trying to say. I believe in having our freedom to ride what we like where and when also. But I also believe we have a responsibility or at the very least some common sense to not be selfish. If you want ride an extremely loud bike that serves no reason than hey look at me...

Well as much as I like the sound of my bike. Which is still factory. I also respect the environment I'm riding in and what is around me at the time. The reason these new laws/by laws seem to be coming in is because of the select few that dont care about anyone else but themselves. For example I...

If you want more details you can look on the Durham Region projects map. Just zoom into the area, click the colored line and it will give you more info. E.g type of work , project limits and schedule. This map is good for all the Regional of Durham related projects.

I don't see the big deal here. If a place of business asks respectfully for me to take the helmet off. I don't see any reason not to. It takes all of one minute to take it off and back on. Don't see the issue here. Depending on the location , I actually feel better taking the helmet off even...

I'm not sure what difference it would make if you were sitting on the bike or beside it. The pump malfunctioned and it wouldn't have made a difference in this case. Unless he couldn't reach for the emergency stop button. I know when I pump while sitting on the bike I put my kick stand down in...

Thanks for the update. The section I was interested in is along Dufferin St. North of Sheppard up to Steeles. I hadn't noticed they added the motorcycle symbol on the bus..HOV lanes. I always found it odd that as soon as you pass Steeles. In York Region they allowed motorcycles. Now it's all...

Does this only apply to Provincial Highways or also Municipal HOV lanes?

The way I read it. This is only for HOV on Provincial and not Municipal unless otherwise signed?

One of the main criteria for designing a round about is to place some sort of plantings , raised median etc in the middle of the roundabout so that a driver entering the roundabout is only focusing on the vehicle to their left before they either yield or merge. You are not supposed to be...

Just curious. How is the reliability of the current gen Mustangs? My first car was a Mustang GT and it was the most unreliable car I ever had. Blew the transmission with only 50,000 km s on it. Rust started after 2 years. So many other minor issues kept me away from anything Ford ever since.

VW GTI or Golf R spec. Probably the most practical sports car out there. I've had mine for over 8 years now.Extremely reliable , fit and finish , interior styling are way better than anything comparable from Ford, GM etc. You can use them as A daily driver in the winter without any issues. I...

Is it near the exhaust cable flap at the bottom of the muffler / Cat convertor?

In a way the fact that he may not be insured may be more of a financial burden on the victim and their family. Hopefully the kid recovers fully and I hope OHIP will cover all the medical expenses for now and into the future. If this guy was actually riding dirty, he may not have 2 cents to his...

That's a tough question because everyone's financial situation is different. But realistically , when the insurance is more than what that what the bike is worth. I would either look elsewhere , a different bike etc. Not saying your quote is worth more than your bike. But it seems to be close to...

Just my opinion. A simple solution would be a two tier system where we also have the option of Government run insurance like they have in other Provinces. I'm curious if anyone knows how well financially they are doing. If they are profitable and it's self sustaining e.g no burden on the...

+1 For Green Book...well written, acted, based on a real life story.
