    Hornet finally released in canada

    I heard the NT1100 is coming in 2024, but I think it was someone at Barrie Honda who mentioned it. It's coming to my garage the moment it lands, that's all I know....

    Best waterproof jacket / pants for a sport bike

    That's the jacket I had 10 years ago and it was great. If it says waterproof, it is waterproof.

    Agreed - all day rain, you need to accept getting wet. It's still better than being in a car, IMHO. I rode to Thunder Bay from Newmarket last August and the September a couple years before that. Preparing for the variety of the weather that ride faces is what I am trying to combat. We rode...

    no, that's not true. And besides, I'm looking for 4 season gear that keeps you dry but doesn't make you sweat your ass off in the dry. On a sunny day, it sucks getting wet.

    Best waterproof jacket / pants for a sport bike

    FWIW, I picked up some Alpinestars gear. A Bogota Drystar jacket and a pair of Alpinestars BRYCE Gore-Tex pants. I'll be looking for rain the next time I get the chance. Now I just need to figure out how to waterproof my wrists. What do people do - duct tape or gauntlets inside the sleeves?

    I have a Frank Thomas jacket and it's great for cold and wet, but the ventilation is for **** - 22 degrees and up and I am sweating. I have a FT Aqua rain suit, but it's just a PITA to get back into the pouch. and yeah, had the rain suit for AGES - takes me back too.

    Best waterproof jacket / pants for a sport bike

    I'd prefer to have waterproof gear. 15 years ago, I had a Joe Rocket Jacket and a pair of Drystar pants - both were water proof and both doubled as cold weather gear. I have an old Frank Thomas waterproof jacket, but it's shite in the warm weather, so I'm looking for somethnig that is multi...

    Best waterproof jacket / pants for a sport bike

    Afternoon! I have a sport bike and a roadcouch, and I realize the waterproof gear I've always bought in the past has been for the couch type riding. Anyone ride in the wet on a sportbike in all weather gear or more specifically, waterproof gear? I'd love to hear about it.

    Should I just stop riding?...

    completely agree..... quit now and stay alive, keep my insurance rates from jumping or don't ask.

    Should I just stop riding?...

    my point is you asked a dense question. And your answer is equal to the task. Surely your definition of "come out of it just fine." is a far more comprehensive list than being pulled off a guard rail, just as "highly skilled" certainly isn't only one thing. It's far too open ended a...
