Hi Y'all, first of all, thanks in advance for any help or guidance you might give me. Also, if this has been posted somewhere else I apologize. My 18 year old son has never been on a bike (and doesn't drive a car yet either) but wants to look at riding. I want him to get a good, professional...

I really don't want to wait until this becomes a problem before I deal with this. 2005 Kawi Vulcan 800, and I am looking to get a spare key made, does anyone know a good place in or around Ajax (Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa or Scarborough) I can get this done? Cheers,

I suppose that's a bit of a provocative headline, but it seems to be a question worth asking. I wonder if people in cars aren't annoyed by some riders weaving in and of traffic, passing on the right at ridiculous speeds, and (this one is nuts) driving in between lanes to pass? Does this affect...

What an awesome site this is, I can't believe how much I am learning, even though I am on my 3rd bike and have been licensed since 1993. I have a problem. I can't sit with my right foot comfortably over the brake without actually stepping on it. ESPECIALLY since I got my new boots. I am...

I don't have any friends that ride, so I thought I'd toss this out there and see if anyone is interested in casual riding.

Just joined the site, and wanted to say hello. Just purchased a used Kawasaki Vulcan 800. Have previously owned Vulcan 500s (in 1993 and 2000, both only briefly). Love the bike, and am now remembering how free it feels riding. I look forward to learning more about riding from this site...
