    is it really that bad to wear a helmet slightly larger than your normal size?

    a helmet has three main components: hard outer shell, compressable styrofoam-like layer and liners/padding. the outer shell functions to spread the force of an impact across a large area so that the impact is not concentrated on a small patch. the compressable styrofoamish layer absorbs the...

    Trikes

    did my m2 exit with rti today. we were talking about this and the instructor said that they will take trikes on m2exits (not sure about m1exits) as the mto issues trike riders the same license as any other fullspeed motorcycle rider (no restrictions or whatever).

    Powered Kickstand For a Motorcycle, Interested? Feedback?

    what's wrong with just a regular kickstand? its already pretty simple and easy... i agree with the powered center stand. it would make it so much easier to lift the bike on an incline (driveway..) not sure about an oil changer lol, but there's something that lubes your chain if you're...

    License G is equivalent with M1?

    no. because riding a motorcycle is much different than driving a car with many different techniques and other specific things. hence a separate mto motorcycle handbook. class m1-m may operate motorcycles and cars. class g1-g may only operate cars. you will receive two packages when you write...

    Cager Criticism

    i live in guelph and whenever i go to toronto (frequently) i'm not sure if i should be riding in the right lane when there's cars parked on the side. would that be better than the left lane, which has all your streetcar tracks and what nots?
