I went out today to look at the Vandal helmets on sale at GP Bikes. Manufacturing dates of 2006 and 2007. Pass.

Re: Where do you guy your gear? Recommend me the cheapest local and online retailers. I went to Re-Gear in Oshawa this weekend a motorcycle gear consignment store. Saw their ad on Kijji. Picked up leather pants and two jackets for 400 bucks. Couldn't be happier.

My mistake the bike is a '05 so 8 years old. The owner didn't have a problem with me riding the bike - but without any insurance I didn't want to risk it on the road. Seconds after I created this thread I decided to call Rosey Toes and ask their advice. Going to get them to do an inspection.

I have just made an offer on a bike. The bike is five years old has 45k km on it and isn't currently insured so I am unable to test ride it. It appeared to be in good condition with new tires. But I am growing more concerned about the fact I haven't been able to ride it or that I haven't had it...

If you have had it for a couple of years then you don't have the newest #11 HD model. And the quality is excellent and I assure you it is true 720p. You can pick up the old standard def model for less than $10 but don't bother. The eBay link I gave you is for a reputable dealer. Make sure...

What year are we in? Are there any still any on the roads?

Ever heard of an 808 camera ( key chain cam)? HD only $36 shipped from eBay. Excellent quality. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Smallest-HD-DV-Key-Chain-Camera-808-11-H-264-Racing-DVR-cam-NO-Time-Track-NO-/320884207669?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ab6307035 Stick em on your helmet with Velcro...

I am surprised by the 41-48 year old figure. I assumed it was younger riders more likely to get killed by goofing off.

Looking to get my first bike. Where can I find values of used bikes so I can negotiate a good price?

I am looking for my first bike. Not looking for anything fancy and many of the bikes I see in my price range are 80's and 90's models. I read that some insurance companies will not insure bikes over 20 years old. Should I avoid looking at older bikes?

I am a new rider. Just passed the Humber College safety course. So I am browsing for motorcycle gear at Toronto retailer today and I am really struck by how flimsy much of the so called “armour” felt to me. The elbow and shoulder pads sown into many jackets seemed awfully thin...
