Biggest problem they had is no dealer network. Really loved the Victory designs but I'm sorry but I'm not riding 110 kms to get my bike serviced. Now that Polaris has pulled the plug I would be hesitant to buy an Indian because if they start having trouble financially Polaris will just shut it...

The Vstar 650 is carbed and has a shaft drive.

Yamaha accessory pricing is way out to lunch. About 3 to 4 times more than aftermarket. There's quite a few items I would love to put on my bike but I'm not paying the ridiculous amount they want. Too bad, if they were more reasonable they'd probably easily triple their accessory sales. Even...

Head up to Renfrew. Then do hwy 60 through Barry's Bay and Algonquin Park. Eventually hooking up to 35 and down into Lindsay. Then take 7 to hwy 12 and go north to 48 and then east to 6. Take 6 a short way to 45 and head back east to 503, 118,28,154,515, Calabogie. Lots of great riding in...

When I lived in Toronto I was able to rent a garage from a lady that didn't own a car but had a garage in the back of her property. It was nice because it also gave me a place to work on the bike and had power running to it from the house.

I went there to get some oil and was told by the parts department not to come back in the future because they only had four 4 litre containers and I took 2 of them. Said they won't be re-ordering so if I came back they likely wouldn't have it as they are dropping the Yamaha line.

After 10 years of riding stock pipes I put a set of loud ones on. I didn't do it for safety or to annoy people, I did it to increrase the performance so I didn't need to buy a bigger bike. Three times now I have seen car drivers hear me and physically get out of my way when they were about to...

heritagecycleworks.com and royaldistributing.com are two that I've used with good results.

+1 on the Vulcan 500. Trust me you don't want a 650 lb bike as a starter. A VLX 600 would also be a good one.

www.triplekupholstery.com. Out in Welland, Ontario. Does great work and very reasonably priced. If you make an appointment he'll do it while you wait.

I have the Champion 5500W that's on sale at TSC for $650. Had it for two years now no issue. I use it as a backup for when the house power goes out and it's wired into my fuse box. Runs the furnace, all the lights, tv, computer, 2 fridges and 2 freezers, and two or three burners on the stove...

Well they look like they're both made of polyester so I don't see how one is going to outlast the other. Even my gazebo cover has to be replaced every 3 years and it's supposed to be uv resistant too. Price is pretty steep for something you will probably replace in 2 or 3 years. I would just...

It looked to me that vendors did not bring a lot of inventory but I went on Saturday night where I usually go on Friday night. Saw a sweatshirt I wanted to buy but they didn't have my size. Was looking for some universal parts too but most vendors just had leathergoods, helmets, etc. Very few...

Yeah, Tim at Triple K put a gel insert in my stock seat for me. Reasonably priced and did the job. I spent tons of money on a Corbin seat and hated it, never softened up and I had a sore butt every time I rode more than an hour. Will never go that route again although I know there are some...

For the rear get the Kuryakyn run turn brake controller (part number 4612). Depending on your wiring you may have to move two wires to match your wiring harness but if not it's a simple plug and play switch that takes about 15 minutes including changing the turn signal lenses to red ones...

Yamaha sells them. You will probably have to ask a dealer to order one in for you or you can order from the web. Here's the link to their website. http://www.yamaha-motor.ca/eshop/detail.php?sectionId=AC&groupId=19&subGroupId=37&categoryId=38&itemId=5068&items_per_page=12&page=1

If people would stop going you'd see the price come down. But we ***** and complain and go anyway and pay the ridiculous price so what's their incentive to improve and or reduce pricing. Hell they even have the same boring girls back year after year. Bring back the same bikes too but change...

Finally after years of riding I put a Vance & Hines slip on on my bike. Always kept stock pipes, didn't believe the loud pipes folks but you know what? I have had at least 5 times people swerve at the last minute because they heard the bike and not seen it. That's 5 times I didn't have to...

I will stop taking my motorcycle downtown and take my car. I will go out of my way to park at a private lot so the city gets zero revenue from me. If possible I will stay out of Toronto all together and give my business to other municipalities in the GTA. In the past two years I have reduced...

Same thing happened to me over 45 years ago. At that time the deposit was only $20 on a used car. Not worth the hassle to try and get back. But I did send a letter at the time and again later in life. I sent them a list of all the cars me and the wife have purchased and told them they...
