Call Franklin and Trevor and bust into the tow yard and steal the bike back out! Oh wait.. i've been playing too much GTA V.. nevermind..

Welcome. Just curious though, how is it possible to be from "Etobicoke/Scarborough" area? They are on completely opposite sides of the city.. lol

Riders Plus will insure it, prob for less than state farm or any of the others.

Such sad news. RIP rider.

I work right around the corner from there. A customer of ours saw the accident and told me about it right after it happened. She said she thinks the bike rider was coming from the xtreme couture gym parking lot at north queen/kipling and that a woman in a car came around the corner and smoked...

I rode home in it at 5:30 and was close to being like the guy in that pic. Was riding my cruiser with a halfy helmet on and regular sunglasses, couldn't see a thing, luckily i didn't have far to go, had to keep pulling glasses down and rubbing my eyes.. made it home safe, was lucky!

Going bigger doesn't mean you have to go new, stick with Honda but get an 83-83 Magna, you can pick them up regularliy on Kijiji for under 2 grand, and then you still have the look of a cruiser with the performance of a racing bike. Very fun bikes. I had v45 750 as my first bike and love it, i'm...

Buying a brand new bike *before* even having your m1.. hmm i would have at least waited until after i took the course and actually rode some bikes to see what i felt comfortable on. You may end up finding you like a different style of bike all together after you have actually ridden. Also, what...

I'm working Saturday but would ride in on the bike for sure if it were not for the fact that the parking lot at work isn't paved, it's just all mud, which doesn't make a nice or safe place to park the bike for 9 hours, i'd probably come out to find it sunk halfway into the ground lol

A slice of dried up pizza for double the price of what it would be in a regular pizza pizza store.

Skip the moped stage, just get a small (250 or 125) bike if you want something easy to learn on. Or an older model bike, lots of cheap ones on kijiji. I'm sure after you take the course and have a taste of riding actual motorcycles that you will agree and won't want a moped ;)

You missed my point entirely... For you bikes are obviously just recreational toys. But for some people they are their main/only vehicle for a reason.. even if it's just on a temporary basis. Some people don't have a *G2* so they can't drive a car. You can get your M2 and be driving a...

For some people it's an option you failed to list. Transportation to work or school.. and they don't own a car or don't have a G license. So they prefer the bike to the TTC. In some cases people work or go to school too far to reasonably get there via TTC on time. Especially people who work...

Changing the oil is overkill. It's only in there a few months it's not gonna hurt anything, just leave it and do it in the spring. All i do is fill the tank with gas 3/4's, then pour some stablizer in and ride it for 10 minutes to mix it in, then come back, park it, and that's it. It'll start up...

Countersteering has always felt like an over thought out process to me. I never actually notice myself doing it in turns, it feels more like i'm just turning the handlebars the way you would a bicycle, which is obviously not happening otherwise i'd be crashing, but i never actually go into a...
