I had read that the Harley cafe was only meant to be there temporarily - not a permanent venture. It was set-up to promote the Harley brand, since there are no Harley dealers in TO. They were hoping to capitalize on the Ossington scene and demographic as a way of making Harley the choice of new...

I don't see the gate, but regardless, it won't matter if they enlarge it (unless it's a metal gate. My building's wooden gate gets broken regular by residents, never mind thieves. Having had one bike stolen (from the street), my feeling is they will get it if they want it, doesn't matter how...

****WARNING**** Not work safe Someone please tell these people to wear gear, or anything for that matter! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxvmPtCF7DU

Traffic light at Bayview and Moore Thursday night. Didn't see what you were riding because of your bright headlight, but you had on a blue/white Joe Rocket jacket. You pulled up next to me and asked how to get to Leslie. I said go right at the next intersection, which I was thinking was...

Have you considered joining AirBnB? I've used it for trips to Portugal and Belgium, I highly recommend it. Way cheaper than any hotel for a full apartment.

Lane splitting is big in Los Angeles. I rented a car there and was totally unprepared for the number of riders that would suddenly shoot up the side of the car. I can't imagine that working here with the number of drivers who impulsively change lanes without signaling or checking their blind...

Like a new pair of shoes, best way to break them in is to wear them. They'll conform to your body in all the right places. It won't take that long before they're comfortable. I just started wearing a Schott horsehide cafe racer and thought it would take months to soften the very stiff leather...

Why didn't the police take off after him? Or did they? Not doubting the story, just trying to figure out why the cops didn't pursue or alert any other police in the area.

I wear full leathers as a rule, and think they look cool anyway. You don't have to opt for something too colorful that looks like a Power Rangers suit, there are lots of choices out there. I learned the value of wearing leather when I took a corner at a low speed and wiped out on a patch of...

Harbord Auto. Corner of Ossington and Harbord.

If you do buy anything, inquire from the sales staff about getting the receipt stamped for a refund on the VAT (Value added tax) paid. Depending on the country, the refund only applies to a minimum amount or higher. You can either get the refund at the airport or mail it in with the envelope...

I'm riding - not far to work - couldn't resist the sunshine. Just wear leather and some winter gloves and it's fine. Thursday should be in the double digits, so definitely riding then!
