Nostalgia? OLD days? Just how young are you, kid? LMAO This is nostalgia.

She meant most bikes actually TRAVEL at over 200kmh, on the roads.

Perhaps. I haven't been privy to the investigation report, only what's been reported in the media. Which is exactly what feeds the kind of hysteria seen in the comments: "Most bikes do over 200kmh..."

Re: Cop with bad attitude - Motorcycle related You make some very valid points, BUT... Without knowing ALL the facts, it appears the cop is massively abusing his authority in an attempt to intimidate his neighbour, up to and including having his colleagues divert resources in a show of force...

Read some of the comments to get an idea of the kind of people we share the roads with on a daily basis. (I'm MikeW in the comments, BTW). http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2014/08/09/man_who_died_in_highway_404_motorcycle_crash_identified.html

Remember, this was back in '98, so things have changed considerably. As I (vaguely) recall, there was only one windshield available, what they now call the touring model. Ideally, you should be looking just OVER your windshield, not through it. Take some measurements on your bike and figure out...

While I wholeheartedly agree that in group rides, each individual rider should be aware of their own limits and ride well within them, I also think there's an onus on the group leader to set a pace that ALL the riders can safely manage. That also includes keeping an eye on everyone and being...

Congratulations! May you have many safe and happy miles on your new bike. Corbin, Mustang, Saddleman and others all make aftermarket saddles. Lots of people like Mustang but just like not all helmets fit all heads, not all saddles fit all butts. Get on the Vulcan forums and hear what others...

Pretty big contrasting mix of styles. Like the bastard love child of a V-Max and a Stryker.

Tired, angry, stressed, running late. All of these have a very real effect on your level of concentration and riding abilities. Going for a ride when you've just had a big argument with your SO may seem like a good idea but you're much better off going for a long walk. Save the riding for when...

That's some serious riding! Good for you. I hope the one guy here who goes on about "middle aged riders" sees it. (I'm 55. Damn kids:D:D).

Good to know that even the most non - controversial request for info can quickly deteriorate into an argument here on GTAM, lol. Glad I didn't ask anything about a Harley! LMAO.

Thanks for the info guys. Went and looked at an '09 today in Guelph. Pretty comfortable to sit on. Think I might hold out till next year andd get a new one though. It would be a second bike, so no mad rush.

I was looking at a few online today; sure are good looking bikes. So tell me the good, the bad, and the ugly about them. BTW, I had a CBR1100XX for a few years, so I'm not unfamiliar with fast bikes. :)

I would add "...for no appreciable gain or good reason..."

All vehicles are subject to Transport Canada standards and regulations and in Ontario the HTA already forbids modifying an exhaust system to produce "excessive" sound. The new municipal laws being enacted quantify what exactly what is excessive. And they're being enacted as a direct result of...

Society as whole judges, that's why we have laws, social norms, and mores. And while your contribution is laudable, it does not in itself generate undue noise. If you can figure out a way to hammer a nail or drive a train without making noise, great. In the meantime, those activities have no...
