    At what point is it not a hobby anymore?

    If you're ever out or planning to be out around Markham or Durham on Saturday mornings/afternoons, I'd likely be down. Pretty sure we chatted over FB before. From what I recall, you're in Cambridge which is quite a ways away for someone that has pretty much given up street-riding.

    At what point is it not a hobby anymore?

    Things start to change when it becomes a group larger than 3-4 people especially in a public space. Most often than not, if they see 1 or 2 people practicing in a safe manner, security guards (malls especially) let you do what you want. Once your numbers go up, it becomes an 'event' and you're...

    At what point is it not a hobby anymore?

    Precisely why I keep it. It allows me to go for the random quick ride if I ever get the itch, and I'm paying a bit less than $50/mo for insurance currently.

    At what point is it not a hobby anymore?

    Commuted on my bike since I got into it (8 years ago) but ended up moving (twice) making my commute an avg of 1h45mins each way. This 100% killed it for me. Ended up trading my Impreza + $ for a Tesla. Bike been sitting in the garage for nearly the whole season. Pretty much ride almost...

    The daily commute

    I always wondered if those would impale me if it came off a truck at highway speeds.

    Group ride

    I thought that to myself when I lived in Woodbridge until I moved out East and there are significantly less performance cars driving around. I'm just wondering who the guy is trying to impress considering he's in the back of the pack and everyone is facing forwards.

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    The more I see these, the more I think I can blend in as an e-bike and pass a cop filtering through stopped traffic on a Ninja 300.

    First accident

    I highly doubt it will go up to $6000/yr off 1 claim. At 18, the difference between having an at-fault claim and not for me (in a car - which is the type of vehicle the claim was made on) was about $1500/yr. Take into account I was a young driver with an accident. Not sure if it matters, but it...

    First accident

    Apologies, confused claims vs accidents on record. Depending on the drivers abstract you get. It seems if you get your "Statement of Driving Record", it includes accidents as well. Wish I could find mine from a few years ago to confirm.

    First accident

    Typically the question is phrased as "How many at-fault claims have you made in a motor vehicle in the last 6/10 years?". To which I would tell them that it happened in a car. (Not saying you're wrong, just my experience with 4/5 different companies over the last few years - Jevco, TD MM...

    First accident

    FWIW, when I had an at-fault claim about 9 years ago in a car, some insurance companies said it would effect my motorcycle insurance rates and some say it wouldn't. I'm a bit skeptical on the "will NOT be counted for a moto policy", as I was quoted for $3500/yr on my first year (18 years old)...

    Convicted of no insurance

    Getting charged for driving/riding uninsured counts as a major conviction.... 6 years....

    Hang in there, winter's almost done.

    Because 6 months from now we'll forget that the air hurts our face, and ask why it's so damn hot out. The cycle continues... Kinda like how we get the Spring "Help! Insurance!", or "What oil should I use", followed by "There are so many stupid SS riders riding like maniacs killing themselves"...
