So I just passed the M2 exit test today at Metro East... @Joe - thx for the tip about taping an X on the helmet :eek: ... Any little bit helps to make it checking blind spots obvious.. Below is the radio they gave and the headset plug was 2.5mm (smaller than typical 3.5mm). I just ended up...

Do you mind sharing contact info for wawanesa? I’m looking to compare rates against my TD MM renewal that came in at $1133 for a 40 yr M with M2 downtown toronto.. 2016 GSX-R750. I’ll be getting full M this summer...

So I stopped by tonight to say hi, obvs. too late. I probably got there 10pm... after my 1st stop at 4451 Hwy 7.. in Markham??? I need to read directions better before asking google :) Just a few groups were left.. I'll try earlier next time.

So is anyone signing up for a course this year? I'm seriously considering the Sharp Total Control 1 course.. my bike is way better than I am.. need to close that gap.

FYI - I just got off the phone with VOS Motors.. apparently their demos planned Saturday 6-May are cancelled due to weather.. :(

Well I did the 'new member' post last year (but can't find it). Many lessons were learned on a CBR250, and I got some great help from @frekeyguy during a BMW F800s repair. (how do you tag users?) This year I'm breaking in a new ride.. and hope to stop by some meetups to say hi. L&L and...

hey... i'm riding downtown as often as i can right now... a bit more fun when you get outside the core, but when i only have an hour.. i'll just do a short run around. learned on a CBR250 last year, and breaking-in a GSX-R750 this year. If we get a chance to sync-up, i'll ride. Sent from my...

Re: help! 2008 BMW F800S repairs.. Some great advice in this thread and thanks for helping me see some options. I'm still putting together numbers before asking my bud how he wants to proceed.. For all the lessons on morality here, if he wants dealer to fix it, that's of course what I'll do...

Yup it's an 08... Thought it was 09.

Easy questions.. (1) much more than 4k (2) I want to get the repairs done right.. but without dealer gouging.. so it make sense to check options.

Ya.. kind of embarrassing. I've ridden the bike couple times before, but this time just after leaving the stall and starting to accelerate away, the tire caught sand and slipped out. I almost regained control, but lost it. By then, I was maybe 10kph? It did slide a bit... Thanks so much for...

help! 2008 BMW F800S repairs.. Hey everyone.. I hope someone can give advice here.. I borrowed a friends F800S and dropped it after hitting sand in the garage. BMW quoted me ~$4k !!! to repair. Is there a place I can get a better quote? even just to order parts that I install myself? From...

Ya.. so you know it was cold AF that day :wink: I realized that with getting the M1 March 15th, I have to wait 60 days anyways so might as well let it warm up a bit more.. and I have a bike so I can keep practicing. -E

Thanks all!

Hi all! I'm learning to ride my first CBR250. So far, I tried the M1 exit course with Rider Training Institute on April 2. Saturday practical was pretty cold... and it was snowing. Then they cancelled Sunday due to ice in the parking lot at 20 Polson St. Anyways, I'm rescheduled for the Sunday...
