    The vulcan 900 doesn't have enough ballz ... ride the vstrom if you want closer to 'normal' riding for yourself or get the Harley 'cuz it has more cc's as a cruiser.

    One Way Car Rental USA - > Canada

    I went to the Hertz website and you can certainly take a car from Detroit to Toronto. The difference between returning it to the original location versus another location I found on the site going back and forth to try it is that they charge mileage. When you return it to the same location I...

    One Way Car Rental USA - > Canada

    that's not true ... that may have been true for 1 particular company but as a industry practice it is not. I know, because I rented a shitbox out of Salt Lake City and dropped it off at YYZ

    Post-crash group-ride outcome

    I don't agree with this charge at all. At MOST these people should be charged with street racing, license suspensions, etc. etc. But if there was no contact with the car then it has nothing to do with it. Let's charge the entire population of smokers in Ontario because someone slid off on a...

    SUV brake advice.

    I had this same issue after a brake service on a newer car (a few years ago) at the dealer. I noticed like you my mileage was crap after the brake service. I took it back to complain, they diagnosed it and replaced for free as a as a caliper piston was not seizing but was not releasing properly.

    Let's Play Replace the Company Vehicle - Again

    Interesting thread... my uncle used to get company fleet vehicles for his job (he was in sales). They always had crappy domestics to use. I was talking to him one day and asked him why can't they choose anything else and he said the same thing you said, HQ chooses the model, etc. But when you...

    Starter Cruiser Bike?

    I have a Raider which you could say is a big brother to the Stryker ... maybe because I've been riding for a while, I rode the Stryker and felt it had no balls, there was no gumption in the ride (a noob might think it is the fastest thing since sliced bread of course) ... the Raider on the other...
