can someone please teach me how to spin the front tire... PLEASE??? to the OP, people were beating bikes around tracks at full tilt decades ago before tires became to high tech. virtually anything you buy these days will be able to out perform you and the bike on the track, and it will...

having owned a load of yamaha's, and a couple triumphs, i cant say that there is any extra waiting period for triumph vs yamaha parts. there might have been a time when that might have been true, but in the current market, triumph parts are fairly available. if youre looking for used parts...

^^^^^ yea, i'd agree. schools regularly sell their bikes off. a few years back i remember stumbling across a pile of dirt bikes when shopping around, one of the schools was getting a new fleet. they were pretty cheap. no idea about warranty.

there is nothing illegal here. it is illegal to tamper and then try to hide it. but speedometers are removed from accident vehicles and replaced all the time. as long as the information is made known, there is nothing illegal. and they seem to be disclosing everything. also, if its a school...

the january show doesnt have all the deals it used. the savings barely cover the admission price, and there are little manufacturers to look at. if i go to a bike show i want bikes... not bumper stickers, RV's, belts, movies, and sausages. the december show had all the manufacturers, and it had...

a dealer cannot sell a vehicle with a lien. legally, they are not allowed to, it can happen, and if it does the law is 100% on your side to get the dealer to clear the lien. its guaranteed by OMVIC http://www.omvic.on.ca/info/faqs/consumer_faqs.htm#Q6 . they would prefer you to first ask the...

the only time i ever went down... happened about 5 years ago, i got nicked by a car that was weaving lanes without signals. lowsided the bike at around 60km/h. i was coming back from Boston Pizza (of all places... where's that thread these days) so i didnt wear my Full gear. I had helmet...

its actually the truth... if you go on any model specific forum for anything and start reading common problems you will get an idea that every vehicle of that make and model is tainted. and Tripletrouble is right, people seek out online forums for two reasons: 1, they are enthusiasts and want to...

it always amazes me the amount of money people will spend on the most hideous looking ideas. but hen again... it did look good to them.

if youre bouncing between a speed triple and a f800, maybe consider the triumph tiger800... triple engine, has a couple models to choose from. AND the chain is on the proper side of the bike, and headlights arent lopsided. i hate that asymmetrical look.

all you did was see the bike... theres nothing stupid there... unless you bought the bike... now that wouldnt be too suave. as stated above, statefarm and jevco will hook you up. go to the december bike show, there is always a vintage bike area, ask around i am sure those guys would be able to...

katana? http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-motorcycles-sport-bikes-2002-Suzuki-GSX-Katana-W0QQAdIdZ329634366 gs500? http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-motorcycles-sport-bikes-2004-Suzuki-GS-500-NAKED-BIKE-W0QQAdIdZ325089728 sv650? these things are pretty much bullet proof...

+1 2piece leather suit - you might find some stuff on sale. gauntlet gloves - five and alpinestars are both very reputable and my personal favorites (five was made from some guys who branched off of A*) full riding boots - not bulky skater shoes, full boots, try to bend them side to side, if...

also, back protectors... i would highly recommend knox. i have the aegis. back when i wa shopping around hte knox was reviewed very highly.

+1 to the grille. not just a breakfast joint, but a great 24 hour joint. i would recommend the souvlaki dinner, or anything off the sandwich page(the chicken caesar wrap and buffalo chicken sandwich deserve special mention), and you cant forget their gravy... you must try the gravy.

^^^ agree with everything above. 1 piece and leather is best, but 2 piece leather might be a little more practical/comfortable if you'll be riding around city and using for everyday use, at least then you can drop jacket when you get to where youre going. as for helmet... make sure it fits...

i mean, as long as you change oil in regular intervals you will be fine. working in an automotive machine shop i have personally assembled and disassembled many engines. and never have i found rust/corrosion inside the crank case of any engine. doesnt matter if it sat for a day, or a year, a...

same threads pop up every year. do whichever you like. there is no scientific evidence that either will harm or help your engine over the course of a mere couple months.

but buyers can post negative feedback to a seller... they can do whatever they want and thats what happened here. i dont know that i would buy. the guy only has 230 sales, and several complain of fakes.

well... heard of a guy, that heard of a guy, that heard of a guy that coincidentally rode the same bike as me ;). now this guy mounted his plate deep in right above my rear hugger. and he never got any charges sent to me... i was also told by this *guy* that this was the exact fender eliminator...
