I've been using this stuff: http://www.amazon.co.uk/ACF-50-Motorcycle-Automotive-Metal-Anti-Corrosion/dp/B000P1C8UO Haven't had a problem with brine since. People say it's the only product that actually works.

Rode in to work today. Streets were dry and clear. Glad to have gotten a ride in before the snowstorm.

Had to take the TTC this morning. It makes me want to walk. I hope there's a few sporadic winter riding days. I don't care about the cold - just snow and ice. The roads themselves in downtown toronto didn't look that bad. I wonder if they would have been fine to ride. Almost willing to risk...

It's fairly light: suzuki tu250x.

Thanks for all the tips everyone. Will definitely come in handy in the future. I ended up walking the thing 1.2 kms to Motoretta. They charged 89 in labour and 13 for the tube. I didn't feel ripped off.

I noticed a little less grip last night. This morning I noticed my rear tire was completely flat. It's a tube tire with spoked wheels. I live near Bloor and Ossignton - do I have any options for a speedy, cheap fix - or am i completely screwed? I tried calling a few places near me but they are...

I rode in today. Not balls, just a testament to how much I detest taking the TTC.

It was 430 pm at 326 Adelaide Street West. The allowed parking times are 930-330pm. I committed a code 9: Stopped signed highway during prohibited times.

i was parked downtown and had a meeting run over...completely forgot to move my bike - it wasn't towed - but there was a sixty dollar ticket attached to the passenger strap. BUT - one mirror was ripped off - and my shift lever handle was mis-positioned - not bent. my guess is that they tried to...

Very cool. I will definitely be ordering some acf-50. Looks exactly like what I need.

I was looking into ways I could prevent or minimize road salt corrosion and came across this product called Fluid Film...

thanks, and umm...yes it probably helped.

Passed re-test. Almost got perfect. It was just nerves the first time around. My hands weren't shaking this time - and it didn't have the formality of test. Once that stuff was gone I had no issue.

Planning to make this trip shortly after getting my M2. What's the safest route for a new rider with a 250cc bike? Right now I'm debating taking dundas st e (hwy 5) or simply laskeshore blvd. Both are pretty much straight shots to waterdown. What do you folks think?

There's no point getting insurance with just an m1 - I haven't looked into it - but I highly doubt you can get a good rate without the safety course completion certificate. I stalled it going from 1st to 2nd - immediately after starting. Had no problem doing this all weekend - but under...
