This Canadian product may or may not fit the bill. Sizing and returns can be a pain when buying online though. https://liveoutthere.ca/products/womens-tempest-down-parka?variant=4051518193691 They also allegedly follow this standard https://responsibledown.org/

E-scooters used to be banned from dedicated protected bicycle lanes (aka cycle tracks) in the City of Toronto but not anymore. https://www.toronto.ca/services-payments/streets-parking-transportation/cycling-in-toronto/cycling-and-the-law/ I don't know if this an OHTA law or a Toronto...

Only used it once. Tow truck was to get to my downtown TO location in one hour and it showed up in 70 minutes. It was a summer 2018 weekday near lunchtime so traffic was not bad. Seemingly took forever to hook the bike onto the flatbed... and still it got dropped on the 15 minute drive.

Do you like bicycling? If so, I would take the bicycle straight down Woodbine to the Martin Goodman Trail and ride along the waterfront. It's an alternative to putting around town sweating on the moto this time of year.

For me, it's not a case of damaging the bike, it's being safe. At Spadina/Dundas, there are plenty of last second obstacles. ;) Being able to accelerate quickly is as important as being able to brake quickly in keeping yourself safe. If you get caught in a non-optimal gear, one's ability...

Assuming your bike uses a tubeless tire setup... If there is a Princess Auto near you, I'd get this kit. It's on sale now for $2.22 https://www.princessauto.com/en/detail/8-pc-tubeless-tire-repair-kit/A-p8458291e Otherwise, Wally Mart has the same generic kits for about $14...

I always get 2 signed Bills of Sale with the price specifics so I don't get screwed by something I don't foresee because I'm assuming it could be legally binding if their bank draft/money order/cash are counterfeit. Don't know if that's a good strategy but it will hopefully keep honest...

The R30 is more than weather water resistant and less than fully waterproof like a true drybag. Having said that, I've had a DSLR in there while people turned waterhoses and emptied big buckets of water on me for hours and the contents stayed dry enough. I doubt it would keep the contents...

I'd rather have a WR450R but this will do just nicely!

... and makes some very poor life decisions whilst killing said clutch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lU7ZALDJ0mg

I talked to a guy with a DRZ400SM running Avon Distanzia's on the 2015 OFTR Midhurst ride. Might have been your friend. Doesn't this look fun? :toothy8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFcH25_7CC0

If you get it now, you might get the itch to modify it before knowing if you'll keep the bike for awhile. Personally, I'd wait for at least the bike shows where you can check out all the new bikes in one place before pulling the trigger. EDIT: nevermind. i see you are buying used

I had read that EMT was irreversible but this link told a different story. I can see totally see how a bank would try to screw us http://www.ehmac.ca/info-centre/117378-interac-email-money-transfer-scam-funds-returned.html It might be a case of your mileage may vary. Maybe some more consumer...

Pack a pair of nitrile gloves in your moto kit/knapsack/luggage. They are cheap, super light, pack down to nothing, will fit under almost all moto gloves because they are so thin and will help keep your hands warm for those days it gets colder or wetter than you thought. Your hands might...
