Totally agree with you here. But as the student (with your limited design experience), you bring to the table your brand new amazing design, and a senior level designer tells you that it'll cost more $$ to proof then put into production than the front fairings... back to the drawing-board to...

LOL MTB is the way to go, man! If you wanna stay on the asphalt, keep the motor ;) I have a road bike, but it's a track bike, and I don't ride it like typical "road bikers"

We've had the opposite luck - 6 months of Teksavvy, no interruptions. Then 2 years of Rogers, and it was going down 1-2 times every 2 months. We just switched back to Teksavvy and I ain't never goin back, cuz we cancelled cable so bundling gets us nothing. $60 with Teksaavy gets us 30 down, 5...

The naked one is better for around-town commuting, and has a more up-right seating position. I believe it has +1 tooth on the rear sprocket for acceleration (but less top-speed, as if that matters). I "chopped" my stock exhaust for FREE and it sounds incredible. With a few mods (mirrors...

Maybe you can give more specific examples, other than the rear fender/plate mount... in the realm of automotive design, much emphasis/energy/manhours are spent on two major areas: marketable improvements & technology, and outright industrial design. Marketable improvements and technology is...

When my wife had a bike we did a short 5-hour tour to up-state NY, and it was a learning experience. Varied weather, and no rain gear made for a "tough" ride. She wasn't into it (on that level), so I think I would only do a long-ish touring ride with a group of close friends, or perhaps...

Is this at Spokes N' Slopes in Milton? That's my LBS, too :) And Zoodles, we just rode Christie lake for the first time a few weeks ago; its small, but SUPER fun. On Topic; the wife and I are hoping to get a Bernese Mountain Dog & Poodle mix (cuz teh allergies), but neither of us works close...

Ahhhhhh @superseven YES!!!! I've been saying this for a long time now; zipper merging is THE way to go, but people have their heads too far up their ***** to ever truly *get it*. I can understand the tendency to remain in the through lane at all times when people aren't familiar with the...

Can we stop blaming stunters and idiot riders for our insurance rates? It's now a given that insurance rates are a complete scam in this province, and -last I checked- this isn't the only place where people ride like ******** on the road. ******* riders are everywhere, but unreasonable...

Many good quotes in this thread... I can believe this... I think the three fatal motorcycle accident causes are as follows (in no particular order): - Showing off/Stunting/excessive speed/risky maneuvering - Other cars not seeing us - Alcohol/substance abuse Re; showing off: Let's face it...

if no-one claims them, couldn't you use USHIP and ship them back here to re-sell (where the VINs are registered)? offset shipping costs with the sale, bingo-bango

I find commuting to be an interesting beast in this city... like conundrum, I have Joe Rocket Alterego pants, but I have a Joe Rocket "Champion" Yamaha Leather jacket. They both have the 8" zipper along the back to zip together, but they don't actually zip together (no big deal). My jacket...

Plug phones! I ordered two sets by accident :( http://www.plugphones.com Offered to GTAM members for $25. Works great for riding, with the included "foam earphones" offering 25dB noise reduction. Plug Phones: ear phones with passive noise cancelling on Kijiji...

I've been emailing back-and-forth with the sales team at suburban-machinery.com, and they've suggested the following: I've got a pretty good idea of what to do and how to do it, I just need a good vise and a long steel tube with a 1.0" ID - if anyone has access to, or has them I'd appreciate...

Ack - should have mentioned; I'm in the south-east corner of Brampton, but commute to Markham regularly. I'd travel anywhere near the 401 or 407 between Milton and Markham, TBH. Hmmm, maybe I should buy one...

Based on my financial position of not being able to afford the bike I want, or the insurance to pay for it, OR the gear I find attractive and useful, I say; ALL THE MORE POWER to that guy.

I think good body positioning, (and reflexes/familiarity with losing rear traction), can help in saving yourself during these situations. My motorcycle experience is limited (~7 years commuting), but my bicycle experience is extensive, and I've lost traction a few times on the street (corners...

This is more of a cry in need for help from someone that has more/better tools than I do, than a technical question (mods please move if this is in the wrong location); I have a suburban-machinery type II handlebar (http://suburban-machinery.com/sv650.htm) that has been bent as the result of...

I vistited toronto center island a few days ago (when the weather was HOT last Saturday), and I feel like the rivers through the island would be great for this...

Sell it now so that you don't get "stuck with it"!! My bike is worth more to me as a beater/daily bike than it'll ever be worth on kijiji/GTAM...I've put on 50k in 7 years of riding... I might die with this thing...
