this is awesome, thanks!

Hey guys, a bit of an aside but hoping you can help. I'm looking to buy a BMW GS jacket, preferably one of those red and silver or yellow and grey ones (kind of like this one: http://www.ascycles.com/images/products/BMW/2013Apparel/RallyeSuit/RallyeSuitJacket-Grey-Red_76118541335.jpg). Do you...

The best option would be to make attaining a motorcycle license much more difficult. The fact that you can currently pay a bit of cash, do circles around a parking lot and then be free to ride around on city streets is absurd. It's the type of licensing system a stupid person would come up with...

That's actually a pretty good rate. I'll give him a shout

I'd second Meloche if you're affiliated through a university or workplace

I'd second calabogie and the roads between Barry's Bay and Bonnechere and then back to Maynooth and then the road to Haliburton via Harcourt is just fantastic (Peterson Road and regional road 10)

How much does he charge? My average for servicing has been between $300 - $550 depending on the extent of the service

Nov 11th was my last good ride. Spent all day on the bike. Looks like Nov 15th was the last of the season for me. I was hoping to head out one more time next week but from the looks of it, the roads are likely going to be a mess and the mix of rain and cold through the next few weeks sounds...

Who did you write to? I can do this as well.... Did you hear back? I've been meaning to write them a long letter on our motorcycle training system and can factor this in as part of a series of recommendations

Cars - this weekend, a moron overtook me within my lane on an offramp from the 407 to the DVP. And then the moron proceeded to zigzag across lanes, slamming the brakes down on occasion because the concept of 'traffic flow' was clearly something alien to him. I still find it hard to believe...

This has been my primary concern...if advanced courses provided bikes, I'd be more willing

Was there today...don't believe that I've seen it so busy before, the five times I've been up there this season. Totally agree with the dodge caravan comment above, but I'll also throw in a word for those Porsche and vintage car idiots who cannot keep to their lanes. Or the good old folk who...

It's a personal preference if you're going by looks. If you're going by internals, I'd opt for the R1200R and NOT the R9T. The R9T is something you buy if you're into the BMW heritage. You're most definitely paying a ~$2500 premium on that bike...even in comparison to other BMWs. If you like...

As others have said - Budds. A word of caution though - given how popular the servicing department is, you're going to have much less room for negotiation or debate. They don't need your business and if you're not a good customer (e.g. calling every day, complaining about how they did this and...

You know - that's not entirely fair. There's a lot of rider blaming going on here, and yes, if witness accounts are correct and judging by the damage to the car, he was at fault; however, lets not forget the morons who on a daily basis don't bother stopping at stop signs, don't bother looking...
