This stunt cage is in excellent condition. Will protect your Suzuki SV650/SV650s 2nd gen motorcycle from damage in a crash. Great protection for both the engine and the plastic fairings on the S model. For more information, see: http://www.thestuntfactory.com/ra905starsus.html Comes...

I have a used Doran TPMS unit for sale. Like this one: http://www.doranmfgstore.com/Categories.aspx?Category=b42f0f3a-382d-40c0-8dbe-85d5bdd464dc I have the whole kit: the display with handlebar mount, and the sensors (with fresh batteries). Asking $120.

Re: Canada's Motorcycle On-Line Store In my experience, shipping to Toronto is essentially next business day with the free option anyway, as long as CP does not mess up. :)

Re: Canada's Motorcycle On-Line Store That's Canada Post. :) They work great and are super fast shipping Montreal to Toronto 99% of the time. But that 1 time a package would somehow get redirected to Edmonton instead, and you'll have to wait for it an extra week before they figure it out. That...

Actually, depending on the company insurance with M1 vs M2 may be the exact same thing. With TD MM, for example, they give you the exact same rate for M1 as if you had just gotten your M2. But they do give a discount when you hit 1 year mark on your M2, so there is that. I'd say what you really...

I use regular soft ear plugs. Something like this: https://well.ca/products/hearos-ultimate-softness-series-ear_23257.html I tried the custom made ones and was quite unimpressed with the results, so just got the basic plugs instead. I dispose of them after a few rides, but the cost is low...

Pros: 1. Depending on your living arrangements, this could be a significant benefit. On the other hand, this means you would need to stick to a tight schedule in terms of selling the old bike in the fall and potentially accept a lower than usual price for it. 2. That's always nice! 3...

They must have done some major re-evaluation of the calculations. After reading all this, I was holding my breath waiting for renewal quote. TDMM, 250cc dual sport bike. 30% reduction compared to last year. My record is not perfect, though it did not get worse over the last 12 months.

I'm not talking about a safety certificate, but RIV inspection for imported vehicles. Only Canadian Tire is authorized to do them, and thankfully they are not too picky.

Just updating for future reference. The Canadian Tire that did the inspection did not care one bit about the exhaust being aftermarket. Hassle free import process.

You don't need a broker. You can submit the paperwork at https://www.autoexports.us yourself. I did use it this September. Process is slightly convoluted, but just hang tight and follow instructions. Must have the bill of sale, title and what not ready and available to send them a scan/photo...

What? I did pay the damn Cali tax, but do you think the bastards at Service Ontario did not charge me PST? Yeah, right. Didn't matter to them whose name it's in. Charged me the usual 5% at the border and 8% when getting the ONT plate.

Hi, Has anyone had any issues with Canadian Tire failing the vehicle inspection due to aftermarket exhaust? One of the points to check was that the exhaust has somewhere written that it meets EPA regulation of 80dB(A). My exhaust is quiet but doesn't have anything stating on it that it meets...

I'm in California and want to get a bike and ride it home to Toronto. Seems like there is no way to avoid paying Cali tax unless the bike is shipped with no riding. Also, dealer says the title (on the used bike) will take 2 weeks to generate. Can I even import it by riding across the border...
