Guys, this is a nutty time of year in the bike business. Everybody wants their bikes all of a sudden... They phone and say they're "coming to get it" (but probably without the 14-day notice requested). The machines should be topped-up with nice, new premium gasoline - which they have to fetch in...

So we all agree then - great starter model... But seriously, the fastest, wickedest, most discussed, most tested model of bike recently - and buddy wants to know what we think? It's like asking "guys, do you think Brooklyn Decker is cute" heheh...

Peninsula Import Ducati is in Oakville, very close to Mississauga... Please note that the old Kahuna shop was on Steeles West near highway 400... (nowhere near the 427).

No info yet except RIP rider.

Shoei for Sale! Brand-new; still in box. Guys, somebody should be wearing this this summer (while it's still fresh)... One gorgeous lid. $200 bucks is a joke - with both faceshields... EDIT 3/30: **SOLD** GTAM Rocks! Thanks guys, Over & Out

Boooya, GTAM forums and I and all the other readers and posters have little patience with those who post misleading (or just plain incorrect) information. Especially in the Technical forum, where it is assumed or hoped those without knowledge will not guess poorly in response to legitimate...

Bikes run richer in the hottest summer months, and more lean in the cold spring air... Because the cold air is more dense and contains more oxygen.

Friend, you may need to pay closer attention to your reading... He is apparently attempting to include (in addition to the bike) a cover, frame sliders, a seat carrier, a helmet, a riding jacket, and all taxes. If it all adds up to $6k, out-the-door would therefore be almost $7k I guess - the...

Guys there are basically TWO colours of Kawi green... (Pardon my surprise but I thought everyone knew this.) The rich, metallic emerald green is used across their entire streetbike model line. The iconic, pure bright green is 'Kawi Racing green' and is used only on their SuperSports ie...

Blue rocks! Blue means heat... Internal combustion equals power. But I hear you, that the two pipes are slightly different colours (with the one being a more gold colour). This is down to engine tuning ie. carb sync or differences between cylinders - whatever they may be. A careful tuneup...

Guys, brand-new R3s will be $4999. (That's the bike you probably want, anyway...) Point is, we all agree used Ninjas should cost far less. People try to get too much for used rides! And where are Kawi shops since Kahuna closed down? Kahuna was a very busy place. Where to buy Kawi in the west...

Yup, so true... Best if one doesn't struggle and fight too hard.

Ya figure bro? Maybe it's my 'remembering' that's starting to suck then, heheh... Winter was typical, I guess - but it's GONE now so fook it. It always, always, always snows in April though (at least once) so, we're not out of the woods yet. Makes those gorgeous days in March therefore even...

Yup. Different, y'know? Kawi often paints SS in plain colours (not all complicated 'racer' paintjobs) which is good, kinda old-school. Primary colours - red, blue, yellow - are overused. Kawi paints green and orange - so what's left - purple! We need a purple Kawi now, heheh... My Kawi Monster...

Gross, heheh... But whatever - it's a free country - so what are you doing on the little triple? It's such a change from what you had before. What made you go that way? Not sure when, but the new Indian Scout will be released soon. That bike will be half-way between the Triumph and the Harley...

A new VFR800 is $15 grand - same price as VFR1200 - kinda embarrassing for Honda I guess (because VFR1200 is not too popular). So you're saying the VFR800 costs double but it will be a lot more fun, right? I hear you, but I don't agree... The VFR1200 would be a lot of fun though.

Normal (low pressure) hose spray attachment is fine. High-pressure washer must be quite cautious! Can damage gaskets, wash out grease fittings, damage chain etc. The trick is not too much soap, lots of rinsing. Flush everything well with lots of running water. Using dead bath towels to dry bike...

We lowered dozens (hundreds?) of new Ninja250s over the years at Kahuna. Best way is to get replacement dogbone having couple of different heights - including stock. (Then you never need stock dogbone again, even to return to stock.) A 1" drop at the rear is no big deal. It will increase both...

Yes it is! Pretty well sums it up... Yeah but... once you get it in the shed, it's SPRING! So that's a noble goal, right there.

Oh man, some weatherman said it's about to snow for sure...
