Awesome, this guy should be on Letterman, and does the law in Troy require a helmet for riders, could he get a ticket?

I recently had the same type of problem. I found that after riding on the 401 and coming into stop and go traffic, my bike would idle really high. I'd be able to get it down to 1500RPM by applying the brake and releasing the clutch while standing still. Then while idling at 1500 I'd hear the...

I don't beleive those holes you see in traffic are soley for your convenience. Some people try to move at a constant speed rather than jumping down the highway like a jack rabbit bumper to bumper. It's irritating having people cheat their way into your buffer zone and you've gotta know that...

If you can choose when you're going to Vegas keep in mind that if you want to be outside touring it gets really hot in the summer months. Also another tip would be to check online for major conventions going on. Stay away during high numbers as the price of everything goes up. Rent a car and...

I've got a suzuki GS500f and use it mainly to ride to work. I take a bag with me for my stuff and stick it behind me on the seat and use two bungee cords to secure the bag to the bike. I've noticed that the bungee cords have scratched the plastics on both sides of the bike. I've even taped...

For the course I would recommend something open so you can hear better. You are also going tone pushing bikes around and working harder than regular riding. Your speeds will also not be as high as on streets and highways and there is not alot to run into except instructors, other bikes and the...

I went to Scarborough to visit my brother yesterday. I got stuck riding home in the rain. I wasn't ready riding 401 back to ajax so I took Kingston rd. My JR Ballistic suit kept me dry for the most part except my arms and shoulders. My helmet also fogged up a bit too much. What's the best...

I bought my Suzuki GS500f at SON too. I too felt I got a pretty good deal. It's becoming evident that I should avoid any servicing there. Does anyone know where I can take my bike in the Ajax area. And what should I be expecting coming up to the first 1000km as far as what is serviced and how...

One of the trickiest pieces of roadway anywhere. To get out of downtown T.O try going up the Jarvis ramp, even in a car, and then merge with traffic while negotiating two curves before hitting the DVP ramp on your left. Now add a couple of really crappy road patches. RIP Jason. My condolences...
