    Your input - helmet headsets - what do you have

    I had a push to talk Chatterbox way back in the day. It was ok but used FRS bands so you had decent range. I moved up to a Scala Rider when they first came out and found that I did not like the push button controls. I have XL sized gloves and they did not push well with the buttons. I...

    Where Do You Scrap Old Bikes?

    Something different ... perhaps call one of the local colleges that have a bike mechanics course and ask if they would like a donation of a bike to the program ?

    Parking Etiquette in the City

    to the OP about disc locks... if they tried to move your bike and you had a disc lock on it and the person knows nothing about bikes and starts to move it, hits the disc lock, loses his balance and drops the bike... sure you don't get a ticket but now you have a bike that's been dropped and...

    Can not renewing a plate sticker make a bike no longer street-legal for new owner?

    So your stance on this would be that since its the new guys problem ... however if you advertised it as blue plated street legal dirt bike then you would be selling under misrepresentation and liable to a lawsuit no ?

    Oakville woman charged in 2014 motorcycle death

    While I hate to admit it, I believe this is a sobering and true post above... if she didn't mean for it to happen she can't really be charged for anything criminal. someone also mentioned if this was an SUV vs SUV probably would have just been a fender bender and 2 insurance companies paying...

    Roam Mobility - cell phone option for US travel

    I used ROAM mobility going to the GAP and on the Interstate it was fine. HOWEVER, when IN the GAP area you had 0 signal. I even paid the extra coverage for $1.00 / day extra and didn't get anything out of it

    Your opinion- I want to get a digital SLR or something close enough - What suggests u

    I'm guessing he meant 5k IN LENSES ... To anyone that is buying DSLR's don't waste your money on the consumer level lenses that can be bought for 200 bucks (e.g. the 18-55 that comes with it and the 55-200) get lenses that have a constant aperture of F2.8 or better. Usually those have better...
