I think a trip to local OPP station in my riding area is in order

I had the opposite experience about 4 years ago. Riding the ditch for a short stretch up north about 6 ft off highway on an insured green plated bike got stopped by a cop who told me not so nicely that what I was doing was illegal. I think the only reason I didn't get a ticket was because he was...

I think the part about needing lights is misleading. If you dig deeper it seems to say you only need them when on a "highway" 1/2 before sunset and 1/2 hour after sunrsie (2.1) Despite subsections (1) and (2) and despite subsection 62 (2) of the Act, an off-road motorcycle must carry the...

hard to read through all this but it seems to say offroad motorcycles are allowed https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/030316

Hello everyone, Do I understand correctly that the Ontario laws have changed and that you can now ride an offroad bike (green plate with insurance ) on the side of any road/highway in areas like Haliburton etc... ?

The dealer I am talking about pushes bikes out in the winter as well. Whether these are bikes that are in for service I don't know but it seems like a lot of Bikes. Personally I keep my bikes pristine and always stored inside. If I do ride in the rain (which is inevitable) I always dry it off...

Be careful where you store your bike. I know of at least one dealer that moves all the stored bikes outside each morning and back in each evening so they have room for service.

Don't ever get a key cut at Cdn Tire , homedepot etc...Take it to a lock smith ad get it done right

Are you saying there is no ownership for the bike ?

A few months ago a bunch of non current brand new KTM's showed up for sale at two used bike dealers. I suspect it might have been Ready liquidating their KTM's. I would have thought KTM would move them to another KTM dealer.

I thought I saw a post here on changes to the Off road vehicle act that allows dirt bikes with green plate to ride on the shoulder of the road like ATV's. I can't seem to find it. Does anyone have a link ?

Ever tried selling a used ss in the last 2 years ? Good luck . You practically have to give it away

As mentioned GPBikes does give a discount to OFTR members. I order all my KTM parts there. Anything over $100 and shipping is free !! Cant beat that.

This looks like a lot of fun but falling on those rocks would be tough on the bike and you

Seems like ATV's (4 wheel) keep getting more and more access. http://barrie.ctvnews.ca/new-rules-for-atvs-come-into-effect-on-july-1-1.2414457 Pretty discouraging for two wheeled vehicles . Some of those side by sides are as big as a small car yet we cant get access on a dirt bike. The rail...
