Last time I lived in a condo with lax security I looked into a boat anchor chain. Ended up moving before needing it. http://www.thedockshoppe.com/chain/

Still commuting daily and hit the forks Thursday, despite the wind. I'm putting off winterizing as long as I can.

I take the cheek pads out of my helmets.

All this right here. I commute daily and I've found the biggest problem to be cars in the lane next to me trying to swerve into my lane when theirs is slowing down. Try to recognize when this could possibly happen and be prepared at all times. I often slow down and place a thumb over my horn...

I first noticed a ton of them in Quebec earlier in the summer, after having seen barely any in Ontario. However, since then, I've been noticing a lot more around the GTA.

My usual policy is accelerate fast, settle into moderate speed. A lot of my riding is commuting, and I ride a 2016 900cc Triumph Bonneville with the high torque engine, which just invites you to accelerate aggressively. When I'm on longer rides, I'm much more relaxed.

Hey guys and girls, I live downtown and am just getting back into riding after a two-year hiatus. Looking for a nice Saturday morning ride outside the city, maybe stop to grab lunch or coffee somewhere.

Clark Kent.

Hey man, I've got a '08 red 125r with ~3500 kms I'm looking to sell for $1700. I also paid $780 for insurance last year (first year) from state farm. 25 years old. PM if you want to check it out/wanna just shoot the **** about spending your first year on a 125.

Right in the butt crack.

Couple weeks ago, Friday night in Leslieville on Queen St. Around 10pm. Asian Female, blue sport bike, backpack, no helmet. Made for a cool (but somewhat blurry) picture.

Yup. I get cut off at least once a ride.

I bought an '08 125r in March and have put a few thousand km's on it. No complaints from me; cheap to run and insure, I have no problem beating any car off the line, it's nimble, forgiving and my riding has vastly improved.

If you're dead-set on learning to ride, why not look into buying a dirt bike?

I taught my girlfriend on a CBR125r and it went really well. I know there's a guy who advertises a rental 125 on kijiji every so often. Not sure how legit it is, but it's worth looking into.
