List of Motorcycle Store in the GTA & Online Stores

[Vlad]

[quote=ripcurl;806838]I'll take the coffee!

You'll get one from me too.

Keep the stores coming so I can keep updating this map!

You may want to add motorcycle salvage yards/shops as a separate category...

Burlington Cycle ?

+ I think there is a Yamaha Dealership in Hamilton.

SeaMe

Rosey Toes

Ontario Cycle Salvage

Peterborough Cycle Salvage (not really GTA, but...)

Oshawa Cycle Salvage

The Bike Yard

As the list grows it is going to become harder to follow it, on the map as well as in text. There should be some way to categorize them, like dealerships, salvage yards, mechanics, paint shops, welders, CNC machinists, etc. I know, for example that Rider's Choice doesn't do any welding, but Rosey Toes has a very good welder right next door.

Why not create a map for just Dealer/Accessories...Mechanic shops...Body & Savage Yard...Might have duplicate entries but should make it easier to find things...Great job other wise

Here's a link to a custom Google Maps page with all the stores in the GTA (that I've compiled so far...)

GOOGLE MAPS LINK

this is GOLD!!!!! thanks ripcurl!

[fastar1]

Sticky this!

Just a thought.

If you just adding to the google map link, why not hit up the exisiting list that is sticky'd and maybe even manufactures websites for addresses.

Maybe even work with the author of the orig sticky thread since they are still maitaning it.

I originally just wanted one map showing any motorcycle related store in the GTA and I think I'll stick to that. For now, everything will stay blue, but if there are places that are strictly mechanical shops or salvage yards, I'll colour code the pins. Most dealer/accessories stores do mechanical work anyways, so its a bit of a waste to have dealer/accessory and mechanic shops separate.

I'm glad this list is helpful to you guys - it really helped me when I started looking for gear and kept forgetting the address and general location of the store!

Anyone know what's up with "The Motorcyclist" in downtown Toronto? I've been trying to get ahold of them all week, but just keep getting voicemail and they never return my calls :/

[RookieRider]

Does anyone know if Vonn Cycle is open on Saturdays?

Very nice, thanks for sharing. I wonder if there was a way to make these maps collaborative so several people (if not everyone) can edit or add to it? I have saved it in my Google Maps favorites, but still can't edit it.

Any way to convert a Google map like this one to GPS waypoints? That would surely be editable, albeit harder than the map itself.

It can be open for everybody, but I am afraid people will damage it.
But I can send an invitation for edit to whomever wants to add, just give me your email by PM.

Thank you :)
I would also appreciate if we put nice roads there, I did put one as an example.
I am ready to spend more time on that map, but I need your help :)

You can count on me Elena. I'll send you my e-mail address soon so you can add me to the "editors" list. Thank you for the great job you have done so far.

For sure! In fact I was gonna PM you since I noticed some stores were missing...lets make this the be-all-end-all of GTA maps for moto shops! As for riding trails/routes, maybe we should start a new map for that?

I'm already adding some roads in there, but I agree that it may be better if we keep the maps separate. The store map is busy enough as it is. I'm willing to invest some serious time, but I'd like to make sure that time is not going to be wasted. We are up to a very good start, now we just need to build some structure and agree on basic conventions.

- I'm trying to figure out how to mark interesting roads end to end without using waypoints and with ability to add comments, instructions, etc. So far the best I can do is what you can see with Southwood Road, by drawing a jagged line, but I'd like to actually have routes that will follow the road and contain proper distance information.

- I don't know which waypoint markers and which colors to us. Maybe we should agree on some convention to avoid the whole map looking uninteligible?

Any other questions, ideas, answers?

I added another map on the same page - "motorcycle-friendly roads".
It is open for edit for everybody, please use it if you have a minute.

But what I was thinking - may be it would be better if you have it on the same map, nice road plus motorcycle store plus nice viewpoints?

On the second thouth - when you have several maps, you can check in both and you see everything on the same screen. Nice.

Ok, we'll see.

Sure, PM me your email and I will provide invitation for edit.
