    Downtown toronto to Oshawa 2:46

    Those with time to kill.....kill time. The rest of us take the GO. Insanity to commute in Toronto, it will only get worse.

    Very close call today

    Somebody still wants you alive. You've just been given a new start. Now what are you going to do with the rest of your life?

    USB power and voltmeter - handlebar mount.

    Aliexpress has a square voltmeter for CDN$1.44 including free shipping. It's of questionable quality so be sure to wire a fuse or it will likely short-cirdcuit in the rain...

    After what I saw tonight, I think I'm going to sell my SS

    After reading this whole nonsensical thread I have come to the conclusion the OP doesn't even ride or own a bike. Just look at the evidence, a truly committed motorbike rider doesn't even think this way. He is new to the board in February and has already posted over 100 times. Does that look...

    Kidney belt for touring

    If you have a gut (especially one that overhangs your belt) this pulls continually on the spine to force it out of its natural alignment. So sitting on a bike all day without a brace is going to be very tough. If you have a relatively flat stomach, then you also have good stomach muscles that...

    Best type of bike for long distance commuting/touring?

    Some have responded that there is no such thing as the "universal" bike. There are many universal bikes, just not super-sports and cruisers. These bikes excel at a few things, but not all. If you are looking at a commuter bike, you have got to think of your spine; you've got to be good to it...

    The Great Mouse Hunt is On

    I have a dirtbike that has kick start and a foam air filter which is soaked in oil. A couple of years ago I took it out in the spring and practically gave myself a heart attack trying to kick it over for about 20 minutes. It had always started perfectly other years. Finally I get the tools out...

    Track days, lawyers and lawsuits

    Re: Crash at Laguna-Seca Track Day could affect future North American Track Days Apologies....I actually checked. When I posted the new subject title, an automated checker popped up and asked if I wanted to check for a similar post. I agreed and it came back as "nothing found". Guess I didn't...

    Track days, lawyers and lawsuits

    Crash at Laguna-Seca Track Day could affect future North American Track Days A track-day events organizer at Laguna-Seca is being sued by one of the participants who crashed, even though he had signed a standard liability waiver. In the lawsuit he claims he was cut off by a rider (not that...

    Any other Zero riders?

    Time now for the Loud Pipes Crowd to condemn this whisper quiet bike. I wonder if future accident statistics, once more all-electric vehicles become more common, will confirm this. Some noise is good, as I was walking in my quiet residential neighbourhood and almost crossed the street without...

    Hit and run.. Motorcycle..

    Possibly.... so your point is leave him in the street to possibly die? Nice. You could apply that same reasoning to a biker who rides like an *ss causing an accident and the guy in the car who can't avoid him, just leaves him to die on the street? Why? Because the guy deserved it? Decent people...

    Small cc cruisers?

    Always amazed on how a mere $1,000 difference in price could possibly make or break a purchase decision on a motorcycle. The bigger question is if you are going to quibble over this, what are you going to do when you need to pay the insurance which is ridiculous. When you factor in that you can...

    DIY motorcycle shop. good deal?

    Actually the education is included and the $700 is an introductory offer to go to $1500 whenever that promo (if it is) ends. So for some people like those moonlighting to work on bikes on the side, this would be a great deal. Where could you get a space anytime you liked (not mentioned if there...

    DIY motorcycle shop. good deal?

    Interesting concept and all prices are reasonable for the length of time or frequency of your repair history. Definitely a good thing if you are mechanical and have no place to work on your bike. But who can't find a lawn or driveway to work on your bike? So for that reason, that business will...

    Eff the Polar Vortex - Gulf Coast Wandering

    Yes, you reached that magical border of where the polar vortex (the old name used to be jetstream, or polar jetstream - that strong westerly wind affecting our weather 24/7) is at the moment. These past months it was very low into the mid USA and hasn't lifted further north much in that time. In...

    There is hope for spring

    We are finding out so many new things in the last decade. It is human nature to look at nature and climate as homeostatic, but it's not. We look at short periods of our lifetime or 100 years, cause that is only what we know unless we do ice sample testing. More and more scientist are now coming...

    Fuel Tank Dent (Need Help)

    I bought a used bike once that had not been properly stored over the winter. The previous owner never filled the tank with gas before winter storage, so the top half of the tank on the inside was rusted. I kept that bike for 10 years and I thought at some point the fuel filter would get clogged...

    There is hope for spring

    Ice ages come in cycles of every 11K to 12K years. And we can burn all the fossel fuels to our hearts content, and it won't make a string bean of difference. You are not going to stop Father/Mother Nature. It was always thought that ice ages came on gradually over a few hundred years, then...

    Second year riding, thinking of heading to Florida in May.

    Agree, I can see the regular service that was licensed and given the green light in 2015 but has not started as the port in Cuba is still under construction. However, SC Line (registered in Panama) transports vehicles between Port Everglades and two ports in Cuba, but it may be commercial and...

    Second year riding, thinking of heading to Florida in May.

    I've driven to Florida a few times non-stop and is one of the most boring drives ever on the slab, whether you plan to take more time or not. Can't even imagine this on a motorcycle let alone a 300. But then again I was young and foolish too and thought I can do everything (so I guess I'm still...
