    Tell me again why you need hyper-sport tires on the street?

    question I have is why do some riders put a sport tire on the front and sport touring on the rear? I've heard the whole rear wears faster argument so the st tire should wear evenly with the front, but it doesn't seem logical from a handling and safety pov.

    Yamaha service/safety in Newmarket/Aurora area?

    Welcome to riding, great bike to start on. I had a bike safetied at Dave's Garage in Aurora a few years ago, honest guys that pointed out what passed but would need attention in the future without trying to sell me "right now". They thoroughly looked the bike over, something that doesn't...

    Toyota Matrix

    I wouldn't hesitate for a second to have one of my kids drive a Matrix. One of the best cars ever built imo...safe, efficient, reliable and sporty. Do it, you won't regret it.

    Thoughts and opinions on LED turn signals

    I ended up ordering a set of oem Yamaha led signals. Trying to install them and am running into a hyperflash issue. Yamaha's site does state they flash at the faster euro spec but I would like to keep them at the normal NA flash rate. Funny thing is with the rears installed with the provided...

    Easy Way To Quiet Down An Exhaust?

    Ive read online somewhere that using ceramic packing is better at absorbing noise than fibreglass...not my experience but what I've heard YMMV.

    Wind on highway

    The wind is going to push you around, just push back. If it's really windy I'll keep in the centre of the lane.

    Plastic melted on to exhaust

    I should have pointed out to wash it off thoroughly afterwards, but that sounds like a better idea! People pay big money for pipes that colour lol.

    Plastic melted on to exhaust

    Ditch the can. Loud pipes save lives, bro! Seriously though, try taking off the bigger chunks with a plastic knife then judicious amount of wd40 (cool muffler, obviously) or whatever solvent you have that is safe for stainless and go at it with some 0000 steel wool. I had that happen to me on...

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    This morning around 8am, Tim Horton's parking lot downtown Bolton, saw three ladies all geared up and bikes loaded with luggage. Y'all were smiling and laughing like you were really excited about whatever adventure you were about to embark on. Not gonna lie, I was a bit jealous lol. Wherever...

    Canadian Tire - Curbside experiences

    I've done it 3 times with my local CT, first time wasn't great. 3 days to get the notice it was ready, then about 40 minutes wait time after checking in. That was close to the start of it all. Last two times order was ready within 24 hours and picked up within 5 minutes of checking in. Maybe...

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    That angers me. Driving impaired and endangering others is one thing and bad enough, but to drag your young child into it deserves punishment to the farthest extent of the law. The man isn't fit to be a parent, let alone drive a car. Good on the cop for taking the child's welfare into...

    First service

    You don't have to go to the dealer to maintain your warranty but you do need service records showing it was done, and done properly. The advice of do it yourself is well meant but I've seen it when people do their own, don't have proper records then warranty is denied when something goes wrong.
