    Almost got rear ended today in Scarborough...very, very close

    that's what i was thinking as i read the thread. I have seen bikes, while i was riding and while driving, in their "blocking" position so close to the dividing line that they are practically splitting lanes. from a distance it can be hard to tell which lane the bike is actually in, but its still...

    My next bike advice...

    for liability fire & theft i was paying: $2800 for r6 - JR Duffy $1800 for street triple - JR Duffy $2000 for daytona 675 - statefarm that was between ages 19-24 ish. So, prices dont really differ all that much from what you are getting quoted over your next 7 years... you just have to find...

    My next bike advice...

    if the difference between an fz6 and a gs500 is $90/year... i say fz6 all the way. although not sure how good of a stunter the fz6 would be. if stunting is a definite path you want to take, i would definitely recommend an f4i, as other above have. its cheap, parts are available, and its tried...

    Power to weight of a Ferrari

    nah, original thread was about ninja 300 out-performing a 30 year old ferrari... and it may, in a straight line 1/16th mile, and maybe even the 1/8 mile... but once we get to 1/4 mile hte ferrari will be moving much faster, and i doubt the 300 will have put enough of a gap to stay ahead at that...

    Garbage men throw out motorcycle because they think it's a couch

    well, garbage man wouldnt lift something like that on his own, he would just hook up the hydraulic arm to do it, so he wouldnt notice the weight, or the lack of a flat bottom... but still, a 1 foot wide couch? seriously? just watching it go up with your finger on the button should show you its...

    Bike Thefts, time to do something ourselves . . .

    yes, if you say you're following them, and say you're going to confront them, operator will be talking you down while sending cops down there asap, throw in a bit about having a kid in the car with you, and you dont want to get her in danger... but that you're feeling pumped.

    MY M4 EXHAUST WAS STOLEN, suspects descriptions ....

    I think what he means to say is... despite not having to prove the mental element of the crime, the crown must still prove the physical element in order to get a conviction. and the onus is on the crown to prove this element. like rob said, defence can raise due diligence, and defence would...

    Which helmet: Shoei RF1100 or Shoei Qwest

    from a dimension perspective, the rf-1100 if going to be designed more for a forward leaning riding style, the helmet will be made to accomodate having your neck bent back while huddled over a ss style bike, the qwest was designed as a touring helmet. That being said... i tried on both, and...

    Buying used process

    As for the comments about a "red book" value, they dont do it for motorcycles, they will not assign a value to it. but they will send letters to buyer and seller asking what they have paid/been paid regarding the bike. If they get different numbers they charge you tax on the greater amount, you...

    Acceptable price for a sports bike and differences between them?

    coming from someone who has owned a couple yamahas and triumphs.... maintenance on a daytona is nothing more than any other bike. as for parts, prices are generally the same, just add 5-7 days for special order items that generally aren't stocked by local dealers.

    CBR250 on 400-Series highway

    to the OP.... if you have a 250, and feel it is underpowered... maybe buying another 250 isn't going to solve the problem. the engines in the rebel and the cbr are different 250 cc engines, but they are within a couple horsepower of each other, and the extra fairings and stickers on the cbr...

    299 in Victoria driver CHARGED

    which is exactly why he is not being charged for a collision or with the deaths of several children in the backseat. rather, he'll probably be charged for what he did do. regardless of whether he actually hurt someone, laws are laws, and they are there to be obeyed. imagine someone sitting...

    I Hate Digital Speedometers, They Are Retarded

    cant say that i agree with a lot of the OP's posts or thread, but this is one where i'll jump to his side of the fence... but for different reasons. i dont particularly care must for the aesthetics of one or the other... but a regular dial speedo is just easier to read out of the corner of your...

    Canadian in Australia needs license advice (M1 waiting times)

    well... if you are still using your canadian license, and although m2 is expired, but you are still riding in aus... get a NSW license, and that will fix your aus issue. I'm in qld, i walked into the transport ministry office, and just handed them my ontario license, checked the boxes, that said...

    Saw An Actual Police Chase Of 3 Sport Bikers

    questionable as to whether this is still valid. the study was done from 76-77, that's a long time ago. In the past 40-ish years motorcycles have come a long way, technology has made them more "comfortable" at higher speeds. bikes can get there easier, they feel more stable at higher speeds, and...

    Riding with a BACKPACK?

    i bought an ogio bag for riding to school. but i couldnt fit all my books in. i ended up just riding with a regular bag, highway, city, no problem at all speeds. if you pack it full and real heavy, it wil be a strain on your back, but shouldnt affect your riding. i mean... if you absolutely jam...
