    Has anyone else "given up" commuting on their motorcycle?

    Agreed. Although with State Farm, scooters and small displacement <250cc bikes, you can definitely run that cheaper than any car. When I had a CBR125, insurance was $25 per month and it got 80mpg. With a SS or just about any other bike, it really isn't about saving money anymore.

    Riding a purchased bike home?

    Yes, regardless of whether or not you go the temporary permit route, you have to get the bike registered and transferred into your name before you can legally ride it. Is there a Service Ontario nearby? If so, go check out the bike, if you like it, buy it and get all the paperwork. Call your...

    rider training course jacket question

    I think most courses accept jean jackets and fashion leather jackets! A dedicated bike textile jacket should be no problem.

    Need a boot recommendation!

    Motorcycle boots nowadays do not have steel toes. In a crash you don't want a sharp piece of metal slicing off some toes or crushing into them. I also find a lot of heavy duty, CSA approved, steel toe boots have thick, massive toe pads to accommodate the steel. This makes for awkward shifting...

    Need a boot recommendation!

    Hey GTAers, I'm looking for some recommendations for a good street riding boot. I currently wear Icon Superduty 4's. I like them because I commute to work with my bike and the Superduty's look casual enough and are comfortable enough that I do not have to pack a pair of work shoes. They do...
