Yes, but how many of them have a motorcycle icon on them? That's the key difference, and one that most of the mouth breathers here won't recognize the significance of, it means that the city identifies us as a distinct group, which has never happened anywhere in Canada before, and just like...

I think the idea is that the signs target the unique risks faced by motorcyclists... which are different than car drivers face. There are already plenty of warning signs for drivers, none for riders... they do the same thing in europe, where the politicians understand that being on a bike is...

training and licensing are provincial issues, not municipal.. :confused: not sure where you're seeing lower speed limits for motorcycles in what RTI is talking about, seems to me like these are hazard signs to warn the rider of things like blind corners etc...

Much of this was covered in an article last year in Inside Motorcycles, including discussions with transportation managers in Toronto and the police, general gist is a lack of motivation on the part of government coupled with bad attitudes towards rider in general, the idea is to get the same...

Got mine a couple years ago, and am going for my M soon, but I found this video on RTI's site when I was looking up the M2X course. It shows the details of the M2 licence test (parts of it anyway) with specifics about the layouts, the timing requirements, where to shift gears etc... I haven't...

New, in unopened box. Bought this when I was house hunting, but ended buying a place with a garage so it's sat unopened. It's the 10'L x 10'W x 8'H model, and should accommodate 2 bikes with plenty of room to spare, and 3 bikes with less room to spare. Completely waterproof. Grey colour...

The implications of Bunda are often overstated on these boards, interpreted far too broadly, and typically omit similar cases where the charges have been dismissed. quoted from the HTA Passing to right of vehicle 150. (1) The driver of a motor vehicle may overtake and pass to the right...

I believe Learning Curves offers a introductory (couple hours) session where you can do just that.

Just started commuting, usually a few days a week. Was kind of terrifying at first, but now that I've gotten more comfortable it's not so bad. Love the free parking!

When I bought my bike (new from dealer), they handled everything having to do with the registration etc. I didn't ride it home though, instead they delivered it for me.

My thoughts as well. During my course (RTI), we spent a good amount of time learning this skill (they described it as an essential basic skill all riders should develop). It wasn't easy, but we were given plenty of time to practice it through the weekend between the other exercises, also during...

Picked my bike up Friday... spent the entire weekend riding around in missisauga. I'll see you guys tonight!

Yeah, I'm kinda interested too. I've read a few of the more "colourful" threads in here but haven't replied to any of it, it'll be interesting to hear different sides in real life LOL

I'm picking up my new Ninja on Friday, very stoked! I'm thinking about heading to this event Monday, sounds interesting, anyone else planning on going?

Thanks for the tips everyone! I ended up booking with RTI after calling around the different schools. They all seem to offer the same training, just different "extras", RTI hooked me with the gear discount... I put money down on a Ninja 300 and need to save wherever I can! Can't WAIT!!!!
