I've been wearing "Cocoons" http://www.basspro.com/_/N-0/Ntk-Search_All/Ntt-cocoons which, for me, work gr8 - for riding, fishing, driving etc. The optics are far better than that of the integrated sun visor in my helmet and, as they kind'a "cocoon" around one's eyeglasses, they work far...

Thanks. Just fired them off an e mail. In any event, it's good to have options on this side of the border! Thanks. Thought of that but, for another $100 or so more, it looks like (hopefully) I can get a decent seat that won't require a comfort fix. I have a friend who has an Airhawk (not sure...

Looking for a new (more comfortable!) seat for my (2013) V-Strom ... Anyone have any experience with Tim Pearson (Triple K Upholstery)?

Thanks!

I try to avoid riding into Toronto, but have a few basic questions that weren't covered in the safety course: When parking on the street, is a bike expected/required to be parked on an angle? If so, is there a "correct" angle? I've heard this will be changing, but is street meter parking...

I know Vicious Cycle does but, is there a store closer to the Toronto area that sells Grip Puppies? Also, someone had mentioned fome grips from Canadian Tire ... any difference between those and Grip Puppies?

This may be of some interest: http://sharp.direct.gov.uk/

Nope. They look like 49cc scooters.

So, we see more and more of those little scooters/motorcycles (some could be mopeds?), slowly buzzing around the burbs. Around this neck of the woods, more often than not, they are seen riding either on the sidewalks, or at the side of the street where bicycles ride. Top speed seems to be pretty...

Is there any free or cheap parking on or very near the CNE?

My understanding is that aviciouscycle had been bought out by Twisted Throttle. They've been in transition for a while, changing over the web site(s), name, billing etc. From our perspective, except for the name change, it will remain the same company.

Hmmm... Signed it ... already 2 junk e mails in the first 2 minutes.

Thanks - but those are just cotton pants with some Cordura content (as an aside, IMO, they don't fit particularly well). I actually have several pairs of the "Cordura (Denim) Jeans" that Bass Pro used to carry under their "RedHead" brand; with the nylon content, they're more durable than...

Yep ... lots of denim jeans, but I'm trying to stay away from cotton (or leather), or anything that is too "bikey-looking". Jeans made of Cordura would seem to be a decent comprimise; just can't find any.

Not interested in riding pants to fit over regular pants but, specifically, something like Motoport's "Cordura Street Jean 1000 Denier." Preferably relatively local, so they can tried on for size.
