Here is a quick photo of the Icon Variant. The two shields for it are clear and dark smoke. I'm gonna post a photo of the Shoei Strife paintjob too... soon. Regards

CBR6 is great bike, maybe even sweeter (on street) than R6... Welcome back, bro - you were never even really gone, heheh.

Okay I was accepting bids (kinda like real estate) until March 15, to see who'd make me the best offer. Coupla people told me this was dumb, and I guess they're right. So just take them for stupid pricing before I change my mind, heheh... Strafer for example is ridiculous good deal for one bill...

I want VFR1200 ($15 grand) But will probably get NC750S ($8 grand) just to tiddle around on, heheh... Radical idea: YZF-R3 times two ($9 grand) for me and a buddy to enjoy! Not getting any younger, and it's definitely not my primary transportation anymore. (Ah, those were the days...) But I want...

Maybe the front sprocket was lunched, but the rear (having been changed) was okay. Maybe the new front sprocket is resized? And the major tool required to DIY is of course an endless-chain rivet tool. (No torque wrench? Hey life goes on...) But one thing for sure - Ted Rose is yer man! Anyone...

Schweeet! Enjoy...

Can't remember a nastier winter. But bikes are going by (on Lakeshore Boulevard West) right now! Guys, just don't get caught out after dark - any water will freeze. Not to mention your nads, heheh... I have NO BIKE this spring, first time in decades. Not happy about it. :( But... I guess I...

Guys this is my first spring in years without a bike! Here we go - it's only March but I'm starting to crave already... My new girlfriend has observed that I have no bike, but SIX helmets, heheh. Which is true. Three are brand-new in their boxes and I wish to sell while they are still 'fresh'...

I'm sorry - who is "we" (who are in decline)? And "masculine activity"? Like fighting, knives, guns, racism!? Dude I don't believe I wish to be part of your "we"! If this is how you perceive masculinity... it's pretty superficial.

Need to put that key somewhere... safer.

Guys on big fast bikes have been riding like this for ever... that's just how it goes. Decades ago my buddy and I did driveway-to-driveway (Guelph to Toronto) in like 20 minutes. The difference? We didn't have cameras, which is IMO a dopey idea anyway... And everyone we passed didn't whip out a...

Yikes... Good luck, NYC. Best wishes. Did you guys see some of those riders? They're on ATVs and dirtbikes, heheh... not even street-legal.

This. ^^ Many people think if they don't hear 'ticking' they're fine... Which is very untrue.

This. ^^ The front size, once uncommon, is no longer uncommon because of all the Ninja 250s and CB250 and 125s... I know Pirelli has top-quality radials in these sizes.

Nice! Good job bro. :) Hey those old Hondas are keepers. Gotta keep 'em running... (You're reminding me of my CB900F, purchased brand-new in 1981.) L8R

Yeah, as mentioned it doesn't sound too-too bad... Obviously start with a known-good (load tested) battery and go from there, being methodical. The only way to put major coin into it would be if the charging system... isn't. :tongue: Hey old Kawi's are great! But they need love.

They are 'checks' and not necessarily adjustment. And you are checking, most importantly, for valves that are too tight! These obviously will not tick, but are more seriously detrimental than loose, ticking valves... In the event that this GS500 has one or more tight valves, especially exhaust...

Well, if he didn't put fuel stabilizer or change the oil or anything in the fall, it's going to crank and crank this spring. But before it will start he's got to first get it cranking :tongue: If it won't turn at all there's probably rust between your piston rings and cylinders, even the tiniest...

Okay I just want to say, and it's not really off-topic, that I see a lot of guys riding with pi$$-poor footwear every summer. So in answer to I was going to say "Yes, do." Please do! What it is, is that in July it's gonna be 40 degrees, and everyone will be cooking, and ATGATT is gonna be...

Never!
