I bough a Shoei X-11 Large helmet three years ago. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit my head very well so I bought another Shoei with a rounder shape for me. I only wore the X-11 a handful of times because it just didn't fit right. Great condition, no scratches or blemishes anywhere. I kept the...

Hi all, Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I wanted to report back on my experience. I ended up renting the Harley Davidson Sportster 1200. They had it on display and I sat on it and felt really good, so I went for it. Really fun bike. Very easy to ride, especially at low speed compared to...

Hi everybody, Thanks for the very thoughtful replies! I'm going to try out the HD tomorrow. Probably one of the few times when I get to ride something so different from my own bike. I'll let you know how it goes!

Hi there, I am going on vacation for a week in Maui, attending a wedding there which will be pretty boring. However, to spice things up I am going to rent a motorcycle for a day or two from EagleRiders. The choices I have are: Harley Davidson Heritage Softtail Classic Kawasaki Vulcan 900...

A thief was actually caught this way.. from the reddit thread: Q: What about when you sell the bike and forget it's in there..." A: Then, hopefully, I'll get a phone call. It has happened. I have done this to customers' bikes for years. Once or twice that I'm aware of the owner sold...

Still possible that the police can talk to the person who bought the bike, figure out the phone number/name/address of the person they bought it from, and then try to trace back the thieves. Obviously this does not prevent theft. It only helps to catch a thief after the fact. I thought it was...

Yes, I can imagine what happens if you forget to remove it too. The mechanic will call you, and you will tell him that you sold your bike, all good. :rolleyes:

Basically, put a piece of paper with your name and phone number inside your tire and ask the mechanic to call you to confirm ID. If the bike is eventually taken to a shop for a tire change, you can get notified and potentially alert the police to a thief. See here (xpost from Reddit...

Last night at around 6:50pm I was on the way home towards Markham. I was in my cage heading up Bayview towards the DVP northbound. There was a group of 6-7 sport bikes coming off the ramp to join Bayview southbound (towards Rosedale Valley Road). The group of them came out of the ramp hot and...

Thanks for the replies. I ended up talking to the MTO after 30 minutes on hold. Basically, you can only be licensed in one province at a time in Canada. Therefore, she cannot get a M1/M2, while keeping her BC driver's license. She would need to switch her driver's license over before she can...

Ok, so I have a friend visiting me from BC for a couple weeks. She has a BC driver's license. She is interested in taking the M1 test here in Ontario, and then taking the M2 riding course from RTI. At the end of this, she will have a M2 license from Ontario. Then she will go back to BC, and then...

Thanks, that was me and my buddy. Unfortunately, the rain was pretty damn cold. I think my hands turned into claws by the end of the ride.

I went through the exact same thing near the beginning of the season. I got my rear tire patched by Rosey Toes.. he did a good job and the tire has been great ever since. No leaks. It doesn't bother me at all.

Wow, sounds like the adventure of a lifetime! Big props for being able to leave everything behind and follow your dreams! Ride safe and keep us updated!

Thanks for all the suggestions. I tried riding it without holding the handlebars and it still pulls to the right. It is very slight, but it is there. I think I'm going to take it to a shop to get it checked out. Thanks all!
