Picking out first bike should I go with 1. just get an r6 2. Get the sport/touring for a summer then get an r6 I'm leaning towards option 2.

What would be teh value of a 2005 Honda CBR1000? about 34k on it, new tune up, good shape, no scratches/dents/marks. aftermarket muffler/exhaust, aftermarket mirrors and tail light Any ideas of a price? or a place where I could estimate the Used wholesale/retail pricing?

Driving down nelsons landing blvd. Go around two corners then apply the front brake. The bike shudders so I let go, and try again. Next thing I know my rear wheel is straight up in the air and I'm looking at the ground, and then back to normal. Front fork broke, caliper jammed in the wheel and...

So I may be getting my first bike soon, Where is the cheapest insurance? To pair it up with my auto would be 100$ more. Can I just go to the dmv and write a test to get a permit? What are the steps with getting a bike license..

How long did it take for your stuff to get here? Thanks. :)

I'll begin... 1983 Honda VT500FT Ascot no the Silvering is not mine...

It's a 1989 Yamaha DT 200, streel legal 2 stroke. I only paid $500 for it, cleaned it up, but some some DOT tires and the rear signals and brake light I had kicking around from a 600RR (PO and removed all the rear lights), now it just needs some mirrors and a safety inspection and it should be...

Picked it up a couple days ago..

Now that spring is here, I am on the market for a new bike. I have been reading up all winter on different bikes but I couldn't make up my mind. As some of you already knew, I sold my GSXR 600 before i moved to ON. I don't think I am interested in another speedbike (that might change really...

OK, this is a mid-60's Kawasaki Coyote. 50cc pullstart, 4 stroke, centrifugal clutch, no gears. It was my first bike when I was 5... no it wasn't new at the time. ha. Dad paid $50 for it. This bike made trails in Portland Estates area that are still there today. Anyway, it's been in a shed...

I've been storing my bike in my landlords garage for the winter. Last night I brought up my Battery Tender but he wouldn't let me use it because he doesnt feel comfortable having something like that plugged in all the time with the gas and vehicles so close. Instead we removed our batteries,...

Thoughts? I'm semi interested in geting another bike.

Short, illegal, but damn fun.

When Shubenacadie Wildlife Park sells their older ATV's (fourwheelers) does anyone know if they have have their own auctions? if not where do they sell them? and how much do they usually sell for?.

I picked up a sport quad last week and am looking for some good places to ride it in NS. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Ok, so i wanna get a quad.. I was considering a sport quad, but i'd like to use it year round. We don't get fuck all for snow out here. My questions are...Will i regret getting a 2 wheel drive sport quad, is it going to be useless? What brands/models are good(sport or not) What should i...

I was speaking to someone a while back who stated there were several people having small ATV junk yards near Main St (HWY 107) Dartmouth, anyone have contact info? and has anyone dealth with them before?, thanks.

It has the orange sealant though, which is a known issue for major engine failures. Undecided if I want to try and split the cases and reseal it myself or just try and flip and get something that doesnt require oil changes every 1000-1500kms.

I'm thinking I might pick up a 600cc track bike for next season, to race in amateur class in the 2010 or 2011 season. I've been doing a little bit of looking, and there don't seem to be many salvaged bikes for sale in NS. Ideally, I'd like to pick up a 600rr or R6 that's been written off and...

Planning on doing a one-day ride this coming Friday (28th) through Glacier National Park to Kalispell, Montana, skirt around the south east end of the park, and head back north to Calgary. Should be a great ride from all I've heard/seen. Weather currently looks good for Friday, but if...

I was talking to a few riders, one of them mentioned a show and said I should go check it out. This was on Monday. Anyone know any info on this? Did I miss it or is it soon? Where it's located etc would be good. (To clarify they're stunt riders)

Thoughts/feelings? I sat on one of these yesterday at the dealer. I'm undecided. I think I like the last gen black/gold special edition better, although the blue frame/wheels/swingarm on this one is pretty slick...
