Who's all going to the bike show this weekend?
Weather is supposed to clear up for a Friday if anyone is considering riding.

Ducati Patents variable jet exhaust

I came across this today and I thought I'd share. Probably won't be available for street bikes for a while but really cool concept.

Look into lessons now to see what schedule works best for you. The summer time books fast.

Yup, start booking now. No point in waiting. Get everything done ASAP. It sucks when your buddies go riding at night but you cant because of restrictions..

Yeah I'm looking at registering with 1st gear in Richmond since it's closest to me. Would a pair of Nike High top shoes be considered appropriate footwear that covers the ankles or I need something better?

I wore regular shoes when I went to 1st gear. Not the greatest idea. Lee did mention I should get more protective shoes. I passed the class then bought a pair of astars. Can't ride without them now or it feels weird. My advice is invest in a pair of good riding shoes/boots

If you dont have any gear at all, hit up Modern motorcycle. You could get a full setup at highly discounted prices when you package items together.

1st gear is a great choice, plus you get to try their RC390, Ducati Scrambler and I believe they will be getting a BMW310.

Thanks, I'll look into that later on but for now I would rather just use the gear that 1st gear provides since I'm just starting off

How serious do they need to be? Would something like this do? $90 for a set of front and back at Cdn Tire:
Sport Bike Stand | Canadian Tire

Or, even cheaper:

Thanks for tuning me onto this one! I've been thinking about the KTM Duke 390, will be interested to see how these two stack up in comparisons.

I don't know how good those are nowadays, but I remember hearing about a couple people complain (10+ years ago) about having one of the 2 stands giving way and their bikes falling off the stands. It was all over BC Sportbikes at the time, so I never saw any of it in person.

But regardless, i'd rather spend the money on a good read stand (which I did) rather than 2, not so great quality (thin tubing), stands. And that alleviates any doubt in my mind about the bike ever falling over.

Rotella T6. The diesel stuff doesn't have additives as gas engine oil does.

But if you want the same grade, look into LiquiMoly. They make motorcycle, 4 or 2 stroke, specific oils.

I personally like the Motul stuff. I run motul 5100 10w40 in my bike.

Check www.fortnine.ca for the best deal for motul oils. $54.xx for a 4L jug as opposed to anywhere locally they charge $65 and up. Also ONLY 5% tax and free shipping as well.



Fuck ya to only paying 5% tax as opposed to 12% locally.
