Any bike, any rider! The sport is about improving upon yourself so you don't need any special bike mod, and difficulty scales up gradually. My signature has links to details on the next event. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk

Several riders in Cambridge Kitchener Waterloo have been joining me on my Gymkhana sessions. I've invested in a lot of cones and a timing system for my own practice. I setup courses in parking lots and various drills learned from riding classes and from gymkhanahcup.ru. When I'm not commuting...

According to my conversations with brokers, premiums goes down steadily over your first 5 years (not drop suddenly in your 5th year). I'm not sure why there is a difference in price. Hondas area not more expensive so if you have more than just liability, that could account for it. I suggesting...

Mind if I ask what size battery you got from Costco? I struggled to find one that fit. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk

Me and my bike weigh 600lbs, and I don't skip either of my lunches or either of my dinners. But the main benefit is that I keep forgetting my lights on at meetups and lithium has deep cycle capability. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk

Has anyone tried lithium batteries? A great YouTube video comparing lead, AGM, lithium. It seems like a great idea, as long as you can wait 30 seconds before zooming off on a chilly day. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk

The no-name "chinesium" battery lasted from bike purchase in 2017 until 2021. I had drained it a couple times with my headlight and never trickle charged it. I have a Yuasa now and no complaints obviously. China has very high quality manufacturing (aluminum extrusion, nuts and bolts, injection...

We'll see if they have the teeth - ahem, authority - to enforce this. Reelection promises rely on voters being gullible. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk

I watched a recommendable documentary called "Ukraine is not a brothel". It shed light on sex slavery and kidnapped girls ... But what OP said, if true (have not fact checked it yet), explains why they are at the brink of being the location of the next proxy war. Sent from my Pixel 6 using...

Interesting. We used the same technique. I shopped for the Suzuki GS500 and the Kawasaki EX500 because they are the BRZ/FRS of the motorcycle world. Agile, quick(ish), daily driver. I would suggest something like a V6 Chevy Camaro, Ford Mustang, Kia Stinger, Subaru WRX. These are in line with...

Love it. Quickly lift to talk, drink, cool off. Leave it up during Motogymkhana, parking, stop and go traffic. Also much easier to put it on while keeping hair out of my face. I went from an Icon Alliance to a Scorpion GT920. In the down position, it's a bit louder but has a lot of airflow...

It's a step in the right direction. It's disappointing that all the popular electric vehicles are heavy luxury SUVs and sedans. It's as inefficient and environmentally-damaging as electric transportation can possibly be. I welcome this motorcycle. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk

That's a good point! As I've read somewhere before, "taxes is price we pay for civilization". Things like traffic lights, hospitals, schools all require funding ... I guess the country side has fewer intersections. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk

I think most righties just want more careful spending, and are not homophobic. And most lefties want some better social services, and are not radicals. And there's a lot of overlap, since people are not strictly left or right on every topic/policy. Eg: many are socially left and fiscally...

Big fan of his ideas on personal responsibility, recovering from addiction, and to some degree, on equality. I disagree with him most often on his views on economic policy and his dismissal of systemic racism's existence. EDIT (addition): He is incredibly smart and eloquent and is likely to win...

If it's convenient and fun, you'll pay more often, without the need of "discipline". Put the guitar somewhere in the way, near a comfortable chair, and leave it always plugged in and ready. Learn to play a song you like. Keep it simple, just the melody... Then maybe the melody and a...

I cannot. But if you have receipts for your purchases of oil and filters, and they have reasonable dates, they will not be able to deny warranty coverage on the basis of skipped maintenance. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk

I opted against hardwiring. There's a 12V socket available behind the globe box that can be used, and all wiring will be hidden. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

I think the Energizer AGM had the highest CCA/$. But it was 200 dollars Costco was next best and great warranty. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

I bought my '03 EX500 for about $1200 Common, reliable, non-flashy. I wasn't picky about the exact bike. I wanted a 300-600. In 2017, there was peculiarly high number of Kawa 500s and Suzuki 500s. 1. Get a bike. 2. Get riding. 3. Maybe drop it a couple times getting good. 4. (Optional) Buy...
