No need for all that really. Get a calorie counter app like MyFitnessPal or (much better) Cronometer. Try using a couple BMR calc's as they aren't precise, but they will give you an idea how many calories you burn at rest or on a typical day. Subtracting 500 can be drastic, don't start off with...

Try just omega 3. A good quality sourced, keep it dark and cool. If omega's go off, and they are highly sensitive to heat, light, agitation, then they will cause inflammation and not decrease it. Also, you are likely getting enough 6 and 9 from diet alone. 3 is the hardest to get in our typical...

Most of the talk is focused on bike classification and insurance, and I agree there, just call around with different models you're interested in. As for what kind of bike to get, do your M2 Entry course first. Any proper course will have 250cc cruisers and 125cc sportbikes for you to try, as...

What's wrong with Meaford?

Oops, my bad, sorry!

Lol, with a shiny new bike patience will be well rewarded!! The bike looks really good in that colour scheme! New rider, new bike... I highly recommend some crash protection (frame sliders, spool sliders, bar end sliders, that kind of thing). Pretty inexpensive, looks good, and can save you a...

LOL I regret not having a bike the 7 years I lived up there. Had 3 mountainbikes though... that counts, right? Markham being on the east side, you can always head up to Haliburton, that's fun. Or if you come more to the west then head north there's the Creemore area, then north to Georgian bay...

Revzilla spent a lot of time raving, and cursing, this bike lol. Great review, but the things that could be improved upon were deemed either a little dangerous or really worth improving for the ride factor. They also did an awesome 2 part article about how to fix those issues and make a great...

Lol grats! I was just about to ask if anyone in here wins anything.

LOL When was he ever NOT quite a bit of an obnoxious loudmouth? I definitely wouldn't lump him with Trump though! And this is kind of a moot point in relation to the letter re Wynne's cash grab. As for the state of Alberta's economy and the way O'Leary is blaming Nolte, I agree, it's angering...

I took the Total Control Advanced Riding Clinic Level 1 offered through Sharp Riding courses. Lee Parks designed the program, and it's really taking off in the US, it's even the official safety course now in a couple states. He takes principles from the track and adapts them to keeping smooth...

Surprised at 2 things: 1 - the gas plant scandal 2 - the fact that McGuinty was just as bad... we don't have an issue with the Wynne Liberals as someone said in here. Ontario Liberals have been mucking things up for awhile now. I'm with whomever said they can't believe the people who voted in...

Sad to see some of the negativity in here because some people ride differently than others. If you take the necessary precautions, you can ride in almost anything. Anyway, one danger of riding early in the season no one has mentioned, and in my short experience (6 years or so) has been the...

When you guys talk about exiting Wiarton and turning right, did you follow 9 to Isthmus Bay Rd at Lionshead, over to Forty Hills Rd? Looks like a really fun section on Forty Hills, anyone know if it's paved?

Agreed!! Kijiji is also good for people selling used jackets... used gloves carry the risk of stinking to high hell, lol. But a helmet should probably be new-to-you for several reasons: 1 - helmets are designed for 1 crash only. 2 - Helmets are actually designed for 1 impact for the most part...
