    Can I get a show of hands please ?

    Bought my first bike before I had a License, rode it home from the dealership, rode around T.O. for a couple of weeks and then went for my M License at the Keel and 401 test center. I was lucky never to have been pull over by the police. - that was a number of years ago. LOL

    Draing the Carbs - Where can I get a tube?

    Last season, I just put fuel stab in my GS500 let it run for about 10 min. No problems starting it up. Used fuel stab on my 15 year old gas mover and weed wipper. After sitting for 5 months starts up no problems. Also important in starting up you bike in the spring is keeping your battery...

    2012 Ducati monster 696 or 2012 ninja 650r

    I much perfer my GS500F with the Fairing over my Naked CB400T. For me, once I owned a faired bike, I will never want to go naked again. Also, the handle bar position is quiet confortable. Easily ride for 2 hours without needing to stop for a break.

    return on the E bikes...

    Agreed, not requiring a license and insurance is a big plus. With goverment looking for more revenue that can all change.Only time will tell! They might even tax cyclists.

    return on the E bikes...

    I often cycle to work and have no problem passing the ebikes. Cyclist can exceed the ebike top speed going 30km (faster going down hill) and not need to worry about battery dying. Unless a person has health issues or physical limitations - I really don't see the point of having a e bike. It...

    Suggestions for a 500cc sportbike

    You might want to sit on them both to find out which fits you better. I rode both and prefered the riding position of the GS500F. Did a few 650km day rides on mind with no problem. Also, last year SON sold new 2010 GS500F for $3999 plus HST. I picked on up and really enjoyed it. You might want...

    has anyone made it out to the 2012 motorcycle show?

    For optimum power on my 2010 GS500F I use Ultra 94 gas and Mobile 10w - 40 synth0tic oil. I notice on mine the power comes on strong between 6K and 10tK. I like to shift at around 7500k. I do not notice much buzz on my bike with 8500K on it. Also, test road both the SV650 and FZ8 and perfered...

    Week of Dec 9th - mostly above freezing

    Since we have no show or ice on the ground in Oakville I am still riding to work just about every day. Switched to 10W-40 synthetic motor oil and found that the GS500F starts up right away and warms up faster then dino oil. Planning to ride down to see the Motorcycle Show tomorrow afternoon. It...
