After just locking my front brakes , I'll take abs on my next bike 199% ... Left foot slammed the pavement probably kept me upright as I let go of the brake and ran a yellow turned red. Goddam I'm glad that nothing else happend.

On my Fz07, the engine braking is so hard that by the time I reach the corner I'm already going slow enough to power out of it, would have to try entering a corner too fast in order to keep a hand on the brake. Without gas the bike will keep slowing down even more through a corner, not much use...

About an hour out, but at-least not too far away, do plan on moving somewhere with more scenery eventually no doubt lol.

Lately riding on the streets I've been wanting to hop on a curb & then off it for some elevation changes, needless to say tried it with a giggle. Guessing I want to try going on more challenging terrain, are there any courses or dirtbike track rentals near the northern GTA area to try this type...

Lane splitting is perfectly fine in stopped traffic. Nothing is gonna happen going 10-20KM between cars that isn't worse on the road or getting rear ended lol.

The Fz07 is a blast, I still want to try a SS eventually but planning on a Fz09 next probably. Bike's have all that power crammed within 200KM, lotsa torque.

That looks decent, not sure if it's high enough would have to see how it fits. I prefer not having any cracks between my helmet chin curtain & below my jackets neck collar.

Ankle length riding boots, gloves, any riding pants/jeans & mesh jacket works. I just take off my jacket & work in the riding pants I came in, can even remove the hip & tail bone armour padding. I'm not gonna wear a 1 piece suit to work, too much hassle, only if I'd hit the track. Klim K Fifty...

Literally any average jacket has a built in removable liner for cool weather, I never ride in the rain personally, just put on the gear I'll need and go, 0 cases on the bike. Never heard of jacket that has neck cover long enough to be tucked into the helmet, it'd need to be high enough to reach...

For summer I've found mesh jackets too hot, you can look up motorcycle armor on Amazon, they've got alot of room to let air flow while still covering the important bits. Winter Mesh-jacket with windproof removable liner & sweater under for warmth is all you need, decent pair of long sleeve...

Saw someone on HW7 & Centre st. also caking their bike in road salt, was too late & missed my opportunity for first wave of the year :( Pretty sure the bike is covered in salt - but dam I got my fix, let her rip real good, another reminder that I won't need anything faster lol.

Dam 37 days? This Friday looks good, will rain on Thursday & next week will be 10+ already. Hyped.

I upgraded from my Ninja 300 to a new bike about a month ago now, wanted something with more top end for highway riding, less gear shifting, tons of lower end torque. Traded in for a 2015 Fz07, this thing is insane. The power increase feels massive, the torque at low RPM is ridiculous, having...

For the past 2 days theweathernetwork has been hedging bets on rain and thunder. It's been no rain and all sun with a few clouds, this is ridiculous. Is there any better weather forecasting I'm not aware of?

Bought this chain in January before I had my Ninja, the tire's were too big and it was far too late to return it by the time I brought the bike home. - Silly me. It's been sitting on the floor for a few months, never used, all 5 keys & chain. 180CM length, 10MM thickness , 4 normal keys, 1 key...

Was doing a u-turn, let a car pass who happend to start turning left after passing me. Had to avoid the car, ended up focusing too much on the curb and hit it, bike fell fairly slowly onto my leg which probably helped from anything important getting hit, was at about 70 degree angle I'd guess...

Not sure what happend to the other thread, I picked up my Ninja on Friday and rode it around for about 100K over Saturday & Sunday, any noticeable salt was around the side of the roads where no one drives. Weather was just dry on those days in the 2-6 Degree's so nothing go wet, should I still...

Current Forecast for Saturday is 11 fkn degrees, Oh I'am doing it if it stays that way. Next Saturday we're supposed to have some 5+ weather, I'm considering going to pick up my Ninja from the dealership, I would have to ride back home on the highway for about 30 minutes. Am I gonna die from...

My current gear is mostly for cool weather with basically winter pants like I used to wear in the snow during school. Anything in particular that helps to deal with hot wind?

Curious what you guys do when looking for places to ride, I've been thinking about getting some sort of GPS with a feature to find windy roads that would be fun rather than just straightaways. I've looked at some with most costing half a 1000 dollars, are there any that aren't ridiculously...
