you may as well fork out the 400 and take a proper m1 course - your back home experience may not be sufficient for keeping you safe around our drivers. And for the cost and weekend, that will solve your inability to get proper insurance for your own bike. Seems like a simple solution.

Wouldn't be a bike!

Yep - I have a regular torque wrench. I was doing a 1200 conversion to my sportster and when I had to torque the headbolts down to inch pounds, I realized very quickly how much you over estimate that kind of measurement.

I've done both your rides before. I kinda wished I pushed to see the above monument. That would have been a great thing to see. BUT, the stretch from Minnesota to Rapid City is brutal. And I was on my stratoliner with batwing so I was fairly comfy compared to my riding crew (who were on...

I don't know a single rider that looks at their rpm to shift gears.

Take that one and spray paint it black...

Likely the attendant was told by management to force riders to come in to pay...for whatever reasons - stolen tapped card, ride offs, topples, etc... This one probably didn't know how to explain why, so just said that bs to get you off the bike and inside. I've seen a rider almost tip over...

I think you're splitting hairs when it comes to the wear and tear part. What kind of bike do you have btw? The blipping is all about keeping your ride smooth, when transitioning into a lower gear... Really, you could pull in the clutch, and take your sweet time getting back into gear...the...

I dislike the bulk of multiple jackets, and it begins to affect flexibility and range of motion - i'm thinking of getting some plug in gear myself...pants would be good too if you plan on longer fall rides.

As long as the band can fit snugly you're fine to use without that black rubber. If it doesn't, you'll get some vibration noise which will suck the life from your soul.

What a **** show. And the dude fixing the guy's horn. Plus the full gear with the skater shoes. And the whole pack pulling over all over the road. Also - with regards to the ebikes, might have been spoken about but if an e bike hits you, that thing can cause as much damage as a real...

Wait. What? It doesn't ruin your bike?????? Are you sure about that? Next thing you'll tell me is that a dropped bike is still ridable.

I think that was ROTC.

You can send any kids to catholic school - if there's a population problem, they can deny you if you're not catholic to provide a spot to someone that is. But these days, you don't have to be catholic anymore. Also, in regards to a catholic just putting a turban on, I think you'd have to be...

If its legit under the clearcoat, its a production issue, you should be able to work directly with the company - if its clearcoat blemishes, good luck proving you didn't do it during install (therefore no warranty)..

I saw nothing Thursday riding from Burlington to markham... just a waiting game now - side note, I think they increased the Niagara stretch of the QEW speed limit too, but still no sign changes (or am I wrong about the increase?)

Everyone I know checks mirrors often when on the bike on the regular.... As for the course, I would suggest taking it - you only know what you know. They'll teach you more skills you likely haven't developed and stuff you likely just don't know/didn't think about. When I did my course at the...

Locking would happen if you jammed on the pedal - the sudden application would cause a lock - the ability to be smooth even at high threshold braking is key. And fishtailing would likely only happen if you're looking around...panic usually causes fishtailing.

Have you done this run before? Looking for a 'short' run this summer....

Practicing doing some bodywork on a damaged hardbag.
