Given the new rules about smoking, I'm thinking of organizing a ride from town to somewhere we can sit and enjoy a havana in relative peace. A native reserve would be good, since I understand it's legal to smoke one you buy there. A good cigar takes 45mins of being undisturbed. Thinking...

Tinfoil, it's the new black: "The RF Safe-Stop uses radio frequency pulses to "confuse" a vehicle's electronic systems, cutting its engine... [...] suggested the machine's ability to stop motorbikes "safely" could prove particularly useful." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-25197786...

I've been looking into commissioning a custom exhaust for a modern HD v-twin off ebay (sometime next year when there is money for it) and I wondered if anyone here has any experience tuning motorcycle exhaust notes with resonators. Is this done? It's a big thing in the luxury car market but I...

Just saw this. Pretty interesting: http://www.vice.com/en_ca/Fringes/black-bike-week Myrtle Beach bike week for sport bike/Ruff Rider culture. I like these guys. Presenter is a bit of a priggish hipster, but she does a good doc. 'Murica-Yo.

Just getting into fixing some small things, replacing seals washers and grommets and such and I'm looking for both a source (in the GTA) and potentially a list of ISO components on a bike that I can just keep around. Is there a place to just buy a collection generic o-rings, seals, washers...

Just a note to anyone taking the 400 north past major mack, rutherford or King, the left 2 lanes have their surface stripped and can cause a serious wobble or traction problems. As far as I could see, it's not signed either. Collectors from the Allen to the 400 are the same. If I had known...

Thought I would start the thread to see what else comes up. Lots of great places for food downtown, but once you get out past the 'burbs, you have to know where you are going. the Shed and Hockley General are fine destinations, but there is a lot out there. Three places I can say are worth...

Just a quick rant here. Please tell your families. Please tell everyone you know that if they drive in the passing lane, they are a Dog Fxcker. Please tell them that when they are on the highway: 1. No matter how fast you think you are going in the left lane, you are always in our way when we...

First 2 minutes of this are excellent. The rest is how differential steering works. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYAw79386WI The motorcycle quadrille is pretty impressive as well.

Bike has been away for 2 weeks. My adrenaline drip has been cut off. Getting weird. How do you deal with the withdrawal? Thinking I need a good air bath.

Makes me almost want to get a smartphone. From the story: "Designed with the help of the Moto2 racing brain-trust, the Race Sense app takes all the metrics an on-board smartphone can read, then delivers full data readouts for later evaluation. The software uses the phone’s accelerometers...

Not sure if there is poll functions on this board, but it would be interesting to see which roads rank as being perceived to have the worst drivers on them. 401 eastbound is obvious, because it goes so far, but the idiots:distance factor is extremely high on the 410 north. Anecdotaly, I've...

Anyone here one of the hundred or so people who park their bikes on Temperance St. ? It was closed yesterday, and I'm wondering whether this is going to be closed for a while, or if it was a one-off.

For most of the season, my bike seemed to be getting incredibly poor mileage and I posted about it here a few months ago. I was getting only like half of what was specified in the manual (~4.5L/100km depending on hwy vs. city). I was worried that one of the cylinders wasn't working, or that I...
