    Losing a side case. Is this just an urban legend?

    This subject was discussed nonstop when I used to frequent this forum (2009). EVERYONE swore you absolutely needed to loctite the two screws on the lock cylinders themselves or they'd wiggle loose to the point where the lock would un-lock, you go over a bump and your cases would pop-off and...

    Thinking of coming back

    Tell me about it. I've put over 3000kms on my Tuono since its last service back in late August! Heheh - two schools of thought. I'm more of a sportbike guy so the lack of amenities is a plus as far as I'm concerned. I always believed the '03 was the most desirable year as it was the lightest...

    Concours or FJR

    I was intrigued by the Concours when it first came out but that didn't last long. Years ago, a guy I was riding with had one so we swapped for a while. It felt REALLY good to get back on my '03 FJR afterward. The FJR feels like a comfy R1, whereas the C14 feels more like a peppier Goldwing...

    Thinking of coming back

    Hi all I used to be a member out here long ago and I absolutely loved my mint '03. After a few seasons, I went back to sportbikes and have been through a few of those in the years since. My current rides are both Italian: a 2018 Tuono Factory and another Aprilia, the SXV 550 supermoto. I'm...

    ABS demonstration

    Yes it works. But most of the time, the result is the same.

    I’m probably going to get kicked off the forum for this

    Howdy all! Been a while I recall pics of fairlaners garage floor – cleaner than my kitchen :good: Lol I never got you guys on this subject. Ghey? You’re all MEN (for the most part), who by virtue, are supposed to be fascinated by shiny metal objects. My Buick is a dumptser on wheels. It’s...

    Sexiest Car Ever!

    I found that for sale here in Montreal last spring. The guy was asking 55K if memory serves

    This would ruin you day....

    That (plus almost being taken out by a forest rat while cranked over in a turn a couple weekends back) is why I've decided my gixxer is to be track-only* Don't let this happen to you. WAFI is right * plus it's $1500/yr to put a plate on it here in QC

    This would ruin you day....

    Taken out by a squid wearing a hoodie, no less. Notice the guy in front, how he tucks his knee in JUST in time to avoid having his leg torn clean-off. Nice reflexes buddy :clapping:

    Nordschleife Gyrocam-Onboard-Runde Kawasaki Ninja 2011

    fak! :dribble: I started riding my gixxer 1000 on the track and am looking forward to getting on some faster tracks... seeing this, nurburgring may be a little ambitious for this season Apparently, kawi has resolved headshake / stability issues on the older ZX10s click

    "Test" riders

    +1 on gut feel +10 on showing up on bike of similar size / power I won't buy a bike before trying it out. Last Saturday, a guy in Moncton NB met me 1/2 way between there and Montreal (~400kms each) so I could try his '06 GSX-R 1000. I obviously wasn't taking it home without a cursory...

    FJR substitute video

    Yeah, running out of gas out in the middle of nowhere can be a day-ruiner so when I come near a town, I gas-up even if I still have 1/2 a tank. It's not hard to take a wrong turn and add another 50 unexpected kms to your route, unless you always ride on familiar trails (yawn) Skidoos are the...

    FJR substitute video

    We Montrealers are lucky to have a backyard like the Laurentians, with piles of beautiful twisty routes up in the hills to ride the feej. The downside is that anything with 2 wheels sits idle for a lot of the year. The silver lining is that the Laurentians are also a haven for snowmobiling...

    What's in your airbox?

    Not sure if it's a mouse? I might be off but I don't think so: What do you think all those little long dark things are?

    Canadian blonde joke

    Hey Steve yeah, I bought that '82 seca this spring and in the summer, I bought myself my first-ever corvette so I've been caught-up on other types of forums. The problem with my FJR is it's too damned reliable so I never actually need to log in here :P no worries - she's a good 3000 miles...

    Footpegs scraping - is there a fix?

    believe it or not, I take my '03 to track days, just for fun. And of course, even hanging off the side to stand her up a little, I'm scraping all over the place. This season, I just removed the feelers under the pegs. While I still am scraping all over the place, it did give me a little more...

    Canadian blonde joke

    A blonde gets lost while driving in a snowstorm. She remembers advice her father gave her: "If you ever get into trouble in a snowstorm, just wait for a snow plow to go by and follow it to safety." A snow plow eventually comes by and she begins to follow it at a safe distance. After about 45...

    Insane weather in Canada

    New fuel cell for the feej

    party pooper but I submit that this isn't really going to save time or extend range if you need to change the clutch every couple of hours Reminds me of guy. Don't try this at home folks, this guy is a trained professional (I never thought traction control could be so much fun)
