    Lithium batteries again....

    if you only ride in the city buy cheap battery. If you are a 1000 miles from home in the middle of nowhere and cheapo fails, f u. My OEM battery required the bike be plugged in (for warranty) (when not in use ) do to parasitic draw. It failed 3 months out of 1 year warranty. I threw it in the...

    The china effect affects all industries, services, and it is truly a race to the bottom. Couple that with technology, AI , and there will be no work soon for the masses. The rise of the machines was not so fictional after all....

    [CTV News] Motorcyclist shocked her insurance is discontinued

    it is excellent that this is making it to the media (tv). Good that is is a girl as well as most riders are stereotyped as male. Maybe finally things will change with more media attention. Couldnt get any worse for rates! BB

    Do you buy used or new? Why?

    On baby bikes there is not much difference in new and used. I saved 8K on my Kawy lol. To trade my 2 year old bike with full warranty, they offered me less than the cost of what I paid for my entire next bike! Thus, I sold it privately. BB

    Chain Lube - Do We Need It? (Fortnine Video)

    gear oil has been known for years to work the best but it is messy as hell. Scott oiler and other auto chain lubers use oil to keep the chain lubricated and it has been shown those oilers do make the chains last longer. Scottoiler makes one but it is expensive ( 200 US) and i hear works pretty...

    Do you buy used or new? Why?

    Recently bought new ( at a fair discount) as bike was a new model for the manufacturer. A month later a used one ( 1 year old) came up and I was kicking myself for not waiting. I can afford new and it is the biggest waste of money on discretionary purchases ( toys, etc) When I sold it as a 2...

    Hayabusa. 20 and out.

    The busa is dated in every way imaginable. That is why I dont own one anymore. The 1999 had some very trick parts and was as far from stock as possible. Even so, the 14r performs better in every way imaginable. But, that 99 with those trick parts looked amazing in copper. I wanted TC, abs...
