So, my Wife had a small low side crash on Friday. She is okay, but she did fracture her shoulder in 3 spots. We do not have collision insurance, just liability so we aren't going to put in a claim. We don't know if we need to inform the insurance company though. Because she was taken away in...

To test the braking capability of my Bandit! HAHA! Just a friendly reminder to all riders that anytime is animal time. I was riding up the 507 around 10:30 am today en route to Barry's Bay and a turkey ran out in front of my bike! Luckily I was not going too fast, applied the breaks and...

After making a post today, I noticed that my "posts counter" said 114. Now I know that I was up in the 1100's for posts just last week. Where did they go? Not that it really matters, but I'm just curious. Cheers, Morrissey

Just wanted to give a shout out to Mike and all the guys at Clarington Cycle for the awesome work the did on my bike this past week. I dropped off my '01 Bandit 600 for some freshening up as it was closing in on the 50,000 km mark. I am a big believer in preventative maintenance. Here's what...

So today I finally got out for my first ride of the season. I know, most of you took full advantage of the crazy warm weather we had in March, but I didn't. I tackled a bunch of yearly yard work tasks so I could get them out of the way early and not have to worry about them later. Anyway...

Well, its official. My season is done. Last weekend I washed the bikes up real nice, ran the stabilizer through them, drained the carbs, pulled the batteries and put them up on their stands. I know that it was 12c at 8am today in Peterborough, but I'm still not kicking myself. Every year I...

So, I made a boo boo today. Attempting to put the Bandit up on it's centre stand to lube the chain and I didn't get it all the way up. It came back down and bounced away from me and I just couldn't hold onto it. I've never had a bike fall away from me before. It sucked because it was falling...

So the Wife and I have been planning a trip to Nova Scotia all winter, but we were planning to take the truck. Due to some of our Family's health etc, we won't be spending as much time visiting as we originally though. Today, the Wife says to me she'd really like to take the bikes instead of...
