    Road rage in GTA. Van rams motorcyclist.

    The minivan initially appears to be parked (did anyone happen to notice its right-hand indicator flashing?); the darker SUV immediately behind it is attempting to merge, as is the motorcyclist. Once the motorcyclist merges past the still stationary minivan (right indicator still flashing) the...

    Is it time to finally give up the R6 dream?

    Stay focused on the SS dream. Life's too short. One day you'll wake up a middle-aged man with a bad back, sore knees and a fat mortgage.

    Tory takes aim at noisy motorcycles

    Sitting in my backyard this past long weekend, attempting to find some peace and solitude, it felt like a never-ending audible assault on the senses. The constant high-pitched squealing of my neighbour's worn-out air conditioner was only matched by the insidious and incessant roar of the CNE Air...

    Vehicles come up beside you on highway?

    Yes. I think many drivers, astonishingly, will interpret the remaining lane space as sufficient space and an open invitation to pass you. Sent from my SGH-M919V using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

    Vehicles come up beside you on highway?

    What an incredible story. It's amazing, the suburban you describe "squeezing" between you and the left-hand barrier with a car immediately to your right. In my case (both instances I mentioned) there were no other cars in close proximity, so I was able to quickly accelerate away from the...

    Vehicles come up beside you on highway?

    Has this happened to anyone? Yesterday, incredibly, two head-scratching moments in the same day. First instance: I was riding in the center lane hwy 427 going southbound, going with the flow of traffic, minding my own business and a car comes speeding up really fast behind me getting just...

    Well I think I'm done with street SS bikes...

    What's your current ride if you don't mind me asking? I'll be the first to admit it, most SS bikes have fairly ridiculous ergonomics that can be completely at odds with your back, shoulders, neck, arms, wrists, knees --basically your entire body -- potentially an issue if you're 40+. They're...

    Bike died mid ride. Any ideas?

    It made a "clicking" sound but wouldn't turn over? Interesting. I had that very same thing happened to me last summer. I lost power without any warning --instrument cluster just started to dim then went blank about 5 minutes before my bike died ('11 ZX6R). Turned out it was the stator coil...

    Chain Maintenance

    Riveted master links are stronger over the long haul in my opinion; I particularly wouldn't feel safe with a clip master link on anything over 500 cc's. If there's 'crud' accumulated on the chain I would clean it off immediately — kerosene if very effective. And as far as regular cleaning...

    Chain Maintenance

    I personally wouldn't use a clip style master link on any size bike — but that's just me. To each his/her own.

    Craft Beer: What are you drinking now??

    Hey, I recognize that bottle! That's a Strange Fellows --my brother's brewery in Vancouver. Curious, you bring it back to Ontario? SF don't sell in Ontario (yet). Hope you liked it Sent from my SGH-M919V using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

    Haggling on used motorcycles

    Yes. Do your research. Know the 'going rate' for the brand/model/year of motorcycle(s) you're considering, the issues, and its availability on the used market. Look at the bike in person before discussing the selling price. Sometimes haggling on price is justified, other times it's not. Sent...

    Trade-in vs private sale

    I wouldn't get frustrated with lowballers. Just accept it as part of the selling process. If you're getting a disproportionate number of low ball offers it could be an indication you have unreasonable expectations on the selling price. There are so many variables to consider when selling a...
