Decided not to get back into motorcycles. I wish I would, but financially it just doesn’t make sense with the insurance, and I’ve had too many close calls to warrant me coming back. I’m sticking with buying a project car instead.

Thanks. I had a CBR500R as my first bike but quickly got bored of it after a season. I’m looking for something with a bit more power than thebCBR500

Hey everyone, I’m getting back into riding and was hoping to get some suggestions on which bike to choose. I’ve owned a CBR500R and a GSXR600 before. I really love the sound that the GSXR600 and other 4 cylinder bikes make and would love for my next bike to have a similar sound if possible. It...

Hey everyone, I road for about 2 years, but sold my bike last spring and have been regretting it since. I’m looking at getting back into riding but need some assistance getting insurance. I’m 27 will be 28 when I get my bike Have my M2 2 years riding experience I’m looking at getting a...

Speaking of those Emmo bikes, I saw one heading into downtown Hamilton on York a couple days ago pulling a trailer behind it.

Unfortunately I also wear large. I think I might just get a better pair of gloves, some AlpineStar leather ones and wear some thin fall/winter type gloves under them. The ones I have now are definitely strictly for summer and look like nothing more than pedal bike gloves with some extra...

To the few people who said I'm afraid of the bike melting away, etc etc... I'm not afraid of the bike getting dirty or wet, I'm afraid of certain parts getting rusty. I'm asking if I need to worry about any other parts getting rusty, aside of the chain. Thanks to those who gave me an answer.

Yeah it was a little nerve wracking because I had the idea in my head that I had 0% traction, so I was going about 10-15 under the speed limit. I didn't have any problems though.

I was forced to ride home in the rain last night for the first time, and am not sure what exactly, if anything, I need to clean in order to prevent rust. I cleaned/lubed my chain last weekend and read that a lot of people clean/lube their chain after riding in the rain, so I'll be doing that...

The grips seem like kind of a hassle to install, and I'd rather have something that I can transfer over to my new bike when I buy it. Anyone know of any locations that carry heated gloves, rather than buying it online? Also, I assume I'll need to buy some sort of corded accessory to the...

Hey everyone, Now that the colder weather is upon us, I'm in the need for some warmer gear. I use my bike for a commuter as much as I can for my job, which means I'm riding around as early as 5:30am, depending on where the job site it. What would you guys recommend to keep my hands warm...

I agree with the counter steering thing. I didn't have a clue what it was, or that I was even doing it on my mountain bike until I watched motorcycle videos on it. I was completely confused and couldn't understand how pushing left/right makes it go in that direction, cause you're turning the...

First weekend on a bike ever, rode for about 600kms between Friday to Sunday and waved at everyone lol. Most people waved back or nodded, some groups and a couple older people didn't wave back though... I frowned and teared up, but thanks to the mirror visor, no one saw.

It may be different between cars and motorcycles. When I got tboned in my truck which ended up with it being totaled, the insurance company wasn't aware of the $5000 in mods I did to the truck, and when I was negotiating the value of my truck with them, they wouldn't recognize the mods I did to...

Went to Riders Choice, the sale was alright, but it was kind of limited. Went inside, didn't really have what I was looking for. I mapped GP Bikes but that was gunna be a 2 hour ride ontop of the hour it took me to get to RC, due to not being able to use the highways yet. Turned around and went...
