This stretch of warm temps is not helping keep folks focused on the road.

You have a desireable bike for the right crowd. It could be a few reasons for slow sales including reduced model demand but probably more due to the end of the riding season in sight. I posted my Goldwing last April when few were listed and advertised it as a pre-season sale. I did sell it...

Found a guy close by. Ken Champ Auto in Streetsville. He runs a small but busy auto repair shop and is a former vintage bike racer. He told me he still takes his hot Suzuki Titan to track days and even had a Busa a few years ago....cool guy. He doesn't sell any bike stuff so won't try to...

I need to get both a car and one of the bikes in for a safety to sell. Does any one know of a place in the west end that can do both vehicles but not be in the biz to sell tires or do brake work?

Only concern is the rate of wear. I guess I was used to my Goldwing's tire duration of about 20+K km. Present tires that came with then bike are Shenko Sport Radials, just over a year old, now past the wear bars (7700km) and a bit slick on wet roads. Grip has been fine until lately as I only...

Has anyone had any negative experiences in mounting touring type tires on their sport bikes? My Bandit (sport tourer) is going thru it's latest set in less than 8K km and I don't ride aggressively.

So a buddy of mine being a TO fire fighter always complained about what they called the '10am crowd'. He described them as the older retired folks that would wait until after the morning rush hour to go venture out in their vehicles for the usual errands like shopping, post office and pharmacy...

Even cool roads are a pain if you are into heavy traffic. I'm sure boring roads would be fun if you adjusted your travel times to off-peak periods (if there is such a thing in TO) to something like 7am on weekend mornings for instance. We here in the Mississausage area are blessed to be able...

Good to know as there aren't a lot of manufactures making them at any reasonable cost. FortNine has them at a decent price however.

They even brought back a 21 In front wheel . I believe the older Honda's XL series of dirt bikes was the last time they were used...

Great choice. Honda has their ADV models well advanced. I've already put 4K on my NC750X, non DCT. Did a 430km run yesterday up north and back. Got an average of 3.8L/100km, accelerates hard and hit passing speeds of 145kpm and there was more to go. Buddy had his Goldwing that I had no...

Does it make the sound under acceleration?

My 73 yr old riding buddy just had the insurance on his R1 cancelled by TD. No reason given so have to assume it's his age. Truth be told, he was a scary guy to ride with as he had a tendency to not signal, look over his shoulder and needed too many naps and pee breaks while enroute anywhere...

Sorry to hear. Was it the guys with the infamous white van? If so, I can't believe they have not been pulled over considering how few of such vans are on the road. Btw, CAA is good for taking bikes away on a flat bed.

So I restored with the help of some folks on here an older Honda XL500 to do some off-road runs a few miles from my home on some vacant farm lands. I normally use a bike carrier to get it there but decided to register it a few weeks ago and get insurance coverage for quick rides to and from the...

Kinda like the scenery at Dover....

Every spring I notice more manholes have sunk into the pavement on our roads and fewer get repaired. Even some on recently paved roads seem to have sunk. Hitting one of these depressed lids can send a terrific jolt to any riders who did not have time to react and get around them. I do...

Yes, they were late with their paperwork but lived up to their original quote for my three bikes.

Excellent perspective...

No mention of the bike model but it sounds like your charging system faded out while enroute. This was a common issue with bikes back in the past (ie'80s vintage due to stator failures) Easy check is to charge your battery and start the bike. Connect a volt meter and note if the voltage...
