I had a Virago 250 as my first bike. It was a ton of fun! In some ways I wish I still had it just because it was a blast to boot down country roads. The reason you see so many of them going cheaply is that as soon as you start riding with others on more powerful bikes you start having to wring...

Welcome back to riding, and congratulations to your wife for wanting to take up the hobby! My wife and I both ride, it's great to share the experience together. Planning any trips?

Like this? Nope, don't do it, totally impossible and impractical. ;) Kidding! Given how low bike lifts are when folded down I don't think it's necessary to build in a sump. We're only talking a few inches. If your water table is only within inches of your garage floor you have other bigger...

I just came across a 1-Year Subscription to RidersQuest Magazine and 4 Motorcycle Backroad Maps for $25 (the maps alone are worth $36) Click here for the deal Chris (Mod - please feel free to move if necessary. I figured since WagJag requires a certain number of purchases before it activates...

I'm looking on the Sheridan college continuing education website and found that they no longer offer the riding courses at the CCIW location in Burlington. Does anyone have any insider knowledge about why that is? Thanks! Chris

Has anyone heard about this show? I just found it by browsing events in Ontario. From what I've read this appears to be the first year, they are advertising a large turnout and 250+ vendors. July 20-22, 2012 http://www.niagaramotorcycleshow.com/index.html
