There is one issue with work boots, in most cases, they are pretty "fat" and sole is thick. As far as I remember, smaller bikes like Rebel 300/500 and Yamaha R3 have not so much space between e.g. foot peg and gear shifter. On your own bike, it can be adjusted but you wouldn't be able to change...

Technically, you do have control over it. Don't want to participate? Don't install the app. I'm not sure about iPhones but it's true for Android. Of course, I didn't see the actual code from Google but this is what they claim. Even with the app, you still can turn off Bluetooth and/or GPS to...

And just to make clear, the phones were already capturing this info (Bluetooth signatures/wifi network ids/geo locations/etc). Google/Apple just added the ability for special pre-approved apps to "consume" this information and provide notifications/other stuff. I'm not saying that your phone is...

So, just to be clear for anyone who might be scared by this thread. Google/Apply didn't add a tracker to your phone. They added a service that allows such apps to work. For example, if you will go Settings-> Google on Android device and then click on "COVID-19 notifications" then you will...

So, I previously worked with my father (a long time ago) on some old cars.. and once I got my first "sports" cars, I wanted to work on them as well. Unfortunately, my work/family stuff didn't allow to spent much time in the garage.. but it is much easier to work on bikes! I did enjoy working on...

ha, I had nearly the same experience with my wife's car! I went to some independent shop to change the tires and they were saying that the brakes are gone and I need to get new rotors+pads+rebuild callipers. Luckily, I was previously doing some light jobs on my own cars, so I had some mechanical...

Hey guys, anyone knows where to buy it locally or on a Canadian site? I'm looking for these: 75mm Rise Side Mount Adjustable Angle Clipon Risers (with 7/8" bars)

I'm using an android phone with a powered mount and either Bluetooth connected coms unit or wireless earbuds. And don't forget about touch-enabled gloves. Btw, you can run Android Auto and it basically shows the same UI as in the car. Very helpful and all podcasts/music is there + integration...

I think it's a good idea. Looks like there is interest in local meetings and restrictions are much more relaxed now.. @roadrash, how about next Wed at 2nd Cup?

If you guys are relatively new riders then I would recommend to keep the group size not more than 5 (better 4) riders. I'm a relatively new rider too and speaking from my experience with previous group rides. Also, because most likely it would be the first time when you meet/ride together and...

I believe Aviva changed their policy last year or so (btw, now it's 6 years of experience regardless of your bike). I was with them before and had to switch last year because I have less than 6 years of experience. Did you receive a "non-renewal" mail from them? As far as I remember, they sent...

Wow, what an interesting discussion. I'm a millennial and I don't really get why people have strong feelings towards generations. There are extreme cases in all generations and they are always much more visible. The one thing my parents (btw boomers) told me is that I need to take responsibility...

Galaxy buds don't have ANC, right? they actually look very similar in size to what I tried. Did you find an easy way to take off the helmet without losing earbuds in the helmet/dropping them on the ground?

So, I "stole" my wife's earbuds today to try them. They are Mpow M30 and they don't have active noise cancelling. I did 4 runs which include portion of Hwy. 1st run - didn't use anything. 2nd - nonoise earplugs, 3rd - earbuds, 4th - earbuds with some podcast playing. Earplugs are much more...

It looks like I'm a little bit late to the discussion.. anyway, couple of years back I've got nonoise motorsport earplugs (https://fortnine.ca/en/nonoise-motorsport-noise-filter-ear-protection) and still love them. Had to learn how to insert them correctly to get a good seal (it took a few...

Hey guys, I wanted to provide an update and share some results. So, after a few attempts to find a replacement wheel, I actually got referenced to John at Bent Bikes in Mississauga. This guy is awesome, he has so much experience and some unique skills. So, he told me upfront that the result is...

Tx for the info! Unfortunately, older bikes (e.g. 2006 GSX750F) have a little bit different brake disk design.. not sure how to say, it's a little bit bulgy, not flat. As a result, their wheels have a narrow middle part.. I guess my best bet is to find 2015-16 GSX-S750 wheel and then find a...

You know, you gave me an idea to try maybe to go to some local scrap yard with the brake disc and the axle and find something that will more or less work for my bike.. maybe I will need to make some custom spacers but it would definitely cost less than $800 used or $1k+ new wheel for a bike that...

I might be wrong, but isn't 17M/CXMT3.50 is just the size? I'm still pretty new to many of the technical details, so pls correct me if I'm wrong. So far I had a hard time finding the wheels which will fit my bike (even from Suzuki) because of the brakes/axle.. I get it but they somehow need...
