Enjoyed it. Thanks for posting.

I'm not too fussed about tire brands as in my mind most are good but one of my criteria for my sport tourer has been a tire that didn't have a high wear factor. I was averaging about 9K per year with soft compound tires but don't do any aggressive riding so got tired of replacing them annually...

I bought two Toyotas in the last two years. Dealer would not change the oil at the initial 5K inspection telling me its due at the one year or 10K mark. For both vehicles I insisted on an oil change at the 5K visit and they tried to talk me out of it. For the low cost of the new oil/filter...

This answers a question I always wondered about the bikes of the Squid Wheely Boyz:

Kudos to the guys at Riders Choice who certified my bike yesterday. One day earlier I had set up the appointment. I arrived a few minutes early and they took the bike in and had it all wrapped up the 20min they quoted. Thanks guys.

Will qualified dealers allow the bike Owner to stand and review the safety inspection process of a bike? Car dealers have strict rules that the Owners can't enter the work area when their cars are being repaired, usually for some insurance requirements. Reason to ask is a Bud asked if he...

My Bad and should clarify. The 20yr old tires are currently on the street bike that I am enquiring about having a safety inspection done. The example referencing 1981 were for an older dirt bike.

I got out on Friday afternoon but wrapped it up soon after noticing Peel Region had sprayed down the brine on Mavis and Britannia Rds in anticipation of yesterday's storm. Looks like 7C today so if the wind isn't too obnoxious, I will try again.

I guess that will be the problem as the VIN sticker (I called it the Serial sticker) has been rubbed off significantly so the bike's VIN no. is barely discernable. Looking at the striations in the sticker, it looks like someone reached down took some sand paper to it. Also, the engine no. is...

I've been interested in an old Honda dirt bike that might make for a good project. No ownership apparently and the serial sticker shows a few scuff marks that look hand made. It's almost 55yrs old and I'm thinking it could have been a victim of theft. Any warning issues I should know about...

Does the City still allow free parking in metered spots?

Very good info.

Much appreciated. I will do as you suggest tho.

Have a dirt and street bike to move about this summer so would use it once a week.

That's a good enough reason to avoid them. Thanks

Has anyone used these? They are limited to 500 # per ramp.. My bikes are just in excess of that so I wonder if it was exceeded abit as to whether they would hold up? https://www.princessauto.com/en/product/PA0008668121

Good point. I also wonder if mechancs would install them anyway.

The newer techs in dealerships have limited exposure to old school items like carb rebuilds and syncing, point/condenser ignitions. Best to look for small garage oriented mechanics. There is one in Georgetown I think Twin Seasons and Robert in Mississauga that I have relied on. Cash goes...
