Congrats, welcome to the forum! Ride safe.

If you're doing it through an institute (RTI, Mtohp, or similar), they probably have it listed on what's acceptable. At the time I was taking the test, all they needed was a denim jacket, denim pants, hard toe boots that covered ankle, a riding glove, and a helmet. I had everything else except...

Welcome back!

Yo, it's a poor man's (mine to be precise) R6 lol

They're pretty decent in terms of insurance... @bigpoppa doesn't like them :p You won't get the nod from the GTAM baller club. You'll get there after a few years. Age is one of the factors and it's not on your side right now but with a few years of experience under your belt, you'll get...

Since you say you have experience riding motorcycles, check out sv650, fz07, r7 etc. Insurance is lower on those from what I know. You can find good used r3, ninja 400 as a track only bike, if you are interested only in tracking the bike. The expenses are towing the bike to the track, parts...

A valuable lesson for the future. Thanks guys! The dash cam didn't capture anything that morning. So, no recording of the hit.

Today someone rear ended me...slow speed, maybe 20 kmph. No damages to my car or theirs, and no bodily injuries to either parties. A driver cut right in front of me, turning left and I didn't have the visibility until the last moment because of traffic in the other lane. I braked hard and came...

Congrats Matt! It will be a hoot to ride once it's all fixed and ready. Edit: how the hell is he planning to get insurance for it with just 2 years of riding experience? Am I missing something? If he is a Brampton rider, then that's a different story.

At least one of us did it :)

@kurtrules - thanks for sharing. Great pictures. The videos of those narrow roads...scary as hell and the gravel roads look not so fun. Was this a solo trip? Did you rent the bike for the trip? If yes, it would be helpful to post the details of the place and a short review :) Once again, thanks...

I would bought it if the time was right...good luck with the sale. Def not your responsibility to keep the buyer safe, but it's good karma. You'll know if the person is a right candidate or not in the initial 5 mins of the chat. If you have time and are not in a hurry, why not! :)

Just noticed the 'secret' race course lol.

More than sad...

To the best of my knowledge, if you are doing your M2 from drivetest they won't offer you a motorcycle. Only private institutes like MTOhp, Learning Curves, etc. provide access to a different variety of bikes for you to try out. Just mentioning if you're thinking of doing it at a drivetest...
