I think that might be an issue. I think the temp. permit is just to get the bike to a safety station. Dave

I bought a bike from someone who had never changed the ownership from the previous owner. No issues at ministry.

I asked my mechanic (Auto) who has safetied about eight bikes for me in the last four years, if he could send someone out to my place to do a safety. He said no, has to be done at certified place of business. Which makes sense if you think about it.

Have an EXO-700 which I really like. Got if half price at GP for $150 couple of years ago. I would definitely look at another Scorpion helmet.

I'd check with Peterborough Cycle Salvage since they are the importer. Dave

I agree that taking it different places would start to make it hard to figure out 'who dun what'. There's a saying in business, it's not so much the mistakes you make as how yo deal with them. Sounds like GP Bikes wants to keep your business. There's no substitution for your personal knowledge...

Have your wife take the course as well; she'll have a much better appreciation for biking and may find, like my wife, that she loves it and gets her own bike! Dave

Roadpak here as well. I used to use the steering head strap but found out no need to. Very strong magnets, also much easier to put on and off without the strap. Dave

I also had an Alliance SSR. I traded up to a Scorpion EXO 700 and there is absolutely no comparison. Fit, noise, venting, all way superior. The Scorpion is an excellent helmet as many reviews attest. There is a place in the states right now offering them for $99 plus $30 shipping to Canada. A...

We've got a 1983 Suzuki Tempter that I just took off the road yesterday. My wife is 5'2" and it was just a tad too big for her heightwise but she liked it in every other way (lots of torque makes it easy to ride). Approx 23,000km and in good shape, a few dings here and there. We'd probably...
