Hey Happy New Year everybody! Re: ATGATT Armored gear, while a relatively recent invention, is not a bad idea. It's just that reality dictates the bigger picture not be forgotten (or overlooked). All the armor in the world is not going to "save" you, if you get off at high speed. Certain types...

Viper why are you posting here then? You have stated that a bike designed for 87-octane will run okay on 91-octane. This we already know - and I don't think fuel mileage is affected much by octane ratings. There are (as you probably know) scenarios where a motor designed for 87 might require...

The poll is missing my response: "Considered it but rejected as bad plan." I spent the summer of 1996 (Olympics) in Atlanta, and travelled Georgia riding Triumphs. But when I got there I couldn't eat anything for 3 days! It's HOT mon, REAL hot, it's 100+ degrees in the shade. But what's most...

Re: Holly f***!!!!!! It's funny how they won't allow these precious bikes to be kept, instead sending them to the crusher without exception. And they don't like to let the bikes out of their sight until that time... But not funny! If you consider the Chinese, no offense to anybody, they admit...

Go see Bill the Locksmith, Ronin, that's who Kahuna uses. (Bill's a master rider too, piloting the BMW 6-cyl these days...) He's in the west end near the airport. 6790 Davand Drive, Unit 8 Mississauga, Ont. L5T 2G5 (905) 564-3434 www.billslockservice.com

Huh? They're motorcycle boots that add ~3 inches to a woman's height. Isn't that what you were seeking? Ridiculous. So, drive a car! I have ridden for ~35 years, 400,000 km in high-top running shoes. Did someone ever tell you motorcycling was a good way to protect your ankles and legs!? She's...

Yes. (Whew!) definitely. Now all we need is some matching leather Bombshell wrist bracers...

Jeffjones is correct - youth helms come in L/XL, and S/M which is a very small lid. I've seen grade 2 kids who need the L/XL and can't even get the S/M on. Kids heads are often disproportionately big compared to their body sizes... If the kid's helmet in S/M is too big, they are definitely too...

Suzuki dealer, 100%. (Ted's great, don't get me wrong - but not this)

Back in the day, my buddy Tim and I were ~14-15 years old or whatever (kids). His big brother bought a brand-new 1972 Norton 850 Commando. Black/gold. Big, nasty. Got a chubb just standing near it... His brother shipped out to northern Manitoba leaving the Commando behind. Timmy was scared of it...

Re: Holly f***!!!!!! Precisely. Exactly! Well said, Crank... I just hope I reach that point soon, before I get much older LoL

Again (to be clear) people only laugh when the see them on display for sale, from a distance... y'know. When they pick 'em up and actually look, you can see they're top-quality and a very good boot! There's enough protection there for any casual street-rider... She'd need more only for the...

Hi RicoChet I'm around - I'm a travelling salesman so not always home for days... Very typical for brakes to sieze up. Fluid pressure compresses pad(s) but only tension on rubber surrounding caliper pistons pulls pads back away from discs. Pistons will mildly sieze easily and rubber parts are...

Re: Holly f***!!!!!! Maybe a lot of those reading don't realize this is Ducati's only V4 offering... It has the unique MotoGP motor config so, you've gotta pay big if you want one of these! There's a guy in Woodbridge who owns one and putts around north GTA on it. He fired it up for my ears...

Rodney! What's up - wife kinda short? No worries, nothing wrong with that (you can pick 'em up, and twirl 'em around real easily)... But RIDING huh? Okay look, People make fun of the Icon Bombshell motorcycle boot for women. But I tell you, it's a real motorcycle boot and offers sustantial...

Forgot to mention (gabbin' about myself)... Robbie at Rocket Motorcycle in Downsview; Junior at T.O. Motorcycle in south Etobicoke; and Ted at Rosie Toes could all be extremely helpful to you. Ted Rose was my mechanic (at the big Cycle World West store) at that time. Rosie's still going, busier...

I bought a brand-new CB900F in 1981. Still can't believe I traded in my 1980 CBX - what was I thinking? The CBX had issues and its electrics weren't charging... (But it turned out new carbon brushes fixed it right up.) Anyway, the 900F was interesting. It was a stroked 750F; the motor is...

(LoL, heheh...) No! Whatta surprise.

Well, there are no bikes. So yes you could say availability has been terrible. Marketing? There are no bikes. Now, every F1 fan knows that the heart of the sport is in the English midlands. This is the environment in which they're trying to produce these bikes. Anything needed, any world-class...

GPS is for little girls... Get a map. (You can actually write on a map, y'know?) Heheh... You guys are all going to get lost in the middle of bloody nowhere, when your gadgets suddenly 'die' unexpectedly! Only the young would place such blind faith in technology... Yup, the big Solar Flare is...
