    Support Local!!

    I went to Ready Powersports which is very local to me to order some Yamaha atv parts. No can do. if you don’t sell yamaha atv’s, you can’t sell Yamaha Atv parts. They used to sell them but not many people are buying them in mississauga so they stopped selling them. Yamaha is punishing me more...

    Hauling Motorcycles

    A hitch is a very easy self install. However if the vehicle is older the holes in most unibody cars that are tapped for a hitch are quite rusty. Buy the correct size tap and run it through the holes with some grease. Take your time. Toyota’s have a 14mm thread. I have done this on two vehicles...

    New Riders...Start with a smaller bike!

    My advice to new riders is start on a dual purpose bike. If you overshoot a corner you might be able to bounce over a curb and stay upright. You might make it thru a shallow ditch. Plus you can ride on gravel and get used to the bike moving under you. No expensive plastic to repair. and they...

    Where can I buy hardened steel chain in GTA? 14mm or thicker

    The staff use a hydraulic cutter, you don't cut the chain yourself with a pair of side cutters. You need to get out more.

    Where can I buy hardened steel chain in GTA? 14mm or thicker

    Lowes sells some pretty hefty chain, cut to length, not sure if it's hardened.

    Used CBR, $2600, is that a decent deal?

    The mirrors are supposed to mount on the fairing, now they appear to be mounted on the bars. maybe it's from a riding school, don't they strip everything from them? it looks like someone is trying to make a fast buck.

    Hard Road

    I read this one years ago, good book about a true murder case involving Satans Choice. The book also provides a history of bikers in Ontario. https://www.amazon.ca/Conspiracy-Brothers-Story-Murder-Bikers/dp/0770423043

    Backroads Mapbook?

    i bought the Ontario GPS maps for my garmin gps. It clearly shows crown land tracts which is awesome. I don't like to trespass and when some lunatic tells me I am on his land I can tell them he is wrong. There is a lot of crown land in northern Ontario that has private no trespassing signs...

    Versys300, CCM, CB500, Vstrom650 small 'ADV' bikes

    You can now order the CB500x kit direct from Rally Raid from the UK. It's much cheaper than buying it from Giant Loop in Oregon. orginally they would not ship it to Canada, they made you order from the US

    Motorcycle Gang Confrontation

    It sounds like the riders initiated the situation, are they to blame for the guy rolling the car, probably not. one thing for sure, the fallen riders section is going to start filling up. Odds are someone from the mob ride will be dead a year from now.

    Region of Peel Loud Vehicles

    I live in south Mississuaga and 2 or 3 times a week I am awoken by some @ss in a car, on a Harley or a sport bike racing down my street. To me it's selfish behaviour but it won't change.

    Legacy license . . .

    You never got a full M, I got my M in 1976 and they had a written and a practical test back then. the written test was a temporary, you still had to book and compete a practical test

    Temporary HOV lanes

    Like most traffic laws in Ontario, the HOV lane rules will be generally ignored. The cops won't be pulling anyone over for cheating either.

    Phone mounts?

    I use a RAM x grip, ride gravel roads on my DR with no issues. Some people add elastic bands for safety.
