The ABS on my bike is easily worth 25% of the cost, but it wasn't that much. Emergency braking is so rare for me, that when it does happen I don't apply enough front brake (ABS not activated/not kicking back), but way too much rear (ABS activated/kicking back). I put that down to my leg muscles...

Those old wrecked bikes are a great prop, as I never would have noticed the store, if it weren't for those wrecks. Daytona Motor Sport shuts down for the winter months since they don't sell snowmobiles, and no one is riding (that is sane). I think he takes the bikes inside or you can be sure...

A big shout out to Daytona Motor Sports on Steeles near 400. Just picked up a pair of tires at Pete's prices. With the pickup option there is no shipping charge. The HST is about the price of shipping, so the total cost is actually less than Pete's/Fortnine (unless you go to Montreal for...

"White man's guilt" is what causes normally intelligent rational Canadians to let immigrants make exceptions to do stupid things, that not even those immigrants' Canadian born children would even understand. This is as crazy as it gets south of the border.

I often leave my car unlocked and my key in the glove box when parked at a private residence during the day. Cause even if they found the key, how are they going to steal it?

I've sold many things in my life and there is the usual bartering back and forth and a reasonable price is often met. But the exception is with the motorcycles I've sold and I've sold 5 motorcycles in my life. The only one which went reasonably well was a Honda 50 cc mini-bike I advertised for...

I gave up loud bikes when I removed the empty cigarette pack held against my rear spokes by a wooden clothespin at 10 years old. Now when I ride my relatively quiet gas-powered bike I can hear music played through my bluetooth headset.

Excluding myself (naturally) the motorcycling bunch is the cheapest group I have ever encountered. Just try selling a bike and the negotiations are basically..." take half off your asking and I'll take it". Never ever encountered a more tight-wad group in my life. So yes saving a whole buck on a...

This post is a joke, and so is the OP. With stories like this that make no sense whatsoever, there is always a piece of the story missing. Do people not communicate? Did the dealer not tell the buyer why he can't have the bike? What a waste of brain cells for those trying to figure out what...

I'm kind of a "commando" guy like you in most things, but not in this. I can never outsmart a gadget or stop myself from grabbing a handful of brake in a panic situation, no matter how smart and on top-of-my-game I think I am. The reason the Can-Am 4-wheelers even exist today, rather than 20 or...

Maybe seemingly young and "rookie-ish" and some of it may have been amateurish, but limiting conversation and slow to respond may be a style this officer feels works for him. Say a military style that says, "I'm in charge, I'm going to write you a ticket, and I'll speak to you only as far as is...

ABS in a car is excellent, but on a bike it should be mandatory. A car will stay upright and skid without ABS and potentially no damage, a bike will likely hit the pavement and do much more harm and injury.

I'm thinking that it took 1.5 years since charged, and the other paralegal cases were also likely stale-dated. And the crown grouped these into the same courtroom and literally flushed them, knowing that the chances of a fair trial are remote, as you just need to ask the officer how good is his...

You know what this means? The new owner will look for ways in which to recoup their investment and make more profit, otherwise, why buy it in the first place? Charity? So watch this program get reevaluated by new owners, and potentially scrapped, or cost go up. Enjoy it while it lasts.

It's not racist to protest against a practice of another culture. In Canada there is a good reason why we do what we do. often based on history and experience, but then we stupidly make exceptions for fear we would actually be called "racists", so Canadians of another culture can ride without...

If your interests go beyond insurance promotion as you state, we will see you in other posts. So get busy....we're waiting and watching.

This is the new George and totally p*ssy-whipped. Here is the old George - “Run for office? No. I’ve slept with too many women, I’ve done too many drugs, and I’ve been to too many parties.”– George Clooney And that may explain the motorcyle accident?

No, it's not necessary, and in case you don't know that the GTA has the 6th worst traffic congestion in the world, and in summer the 400 is crawling on weekends.

No, you don't need ABS (or "an ABS") and you don't need a condom either.....if you are really skilled. Good luck with either!
