    Do you need M or G License for Track Days or Racing?

    Depending on the race organizer you will either new to prove you are race capable (Racer5 certificate or something similar) most will want you to take their Friday race school (prove to them you are not a liability to yourself or other riders). Not sure if there is anything stopping you from...

    MotoGP 2018

    I can see Zarco to Honda to replace Pedrosa and Petrucci to Ducati to replace Lorenzo if he continues to struggle. The Italian's would love an all Italian team on an Italian machine.

    Motorcycle Racing in Ontario

    I went to the Grand Bend CSBK and usually pop in for a Sunday of SOAR racing at Grand Bend as well. For me its close about an hour away. For what you get track side I'm not sure I'd drive further for anything other than MotoGP (when it was at Indy). Make it more like a basket ball game with...

    Cancellation fee after selling bike?

    Same as others have posted. I started riding in the month of August, few years later I upgraded in April. When I switched from State Farm to Intact I received a refund for paying my premium all winter long when the weighting was low. Was a nice bonus.

    Recent movies you saw - recommend or no

    Saw Wind River and liked it too. Watched Jungle the other day. Movie based on a true story about a backpacker in the 80's (Danial Radcliffe "Harry Potter") was decent, pretty impressive the will power.

    I am definitely an idiot...and now I need insurance

    Call around before you think you are sunk. No point in asking us all when a broker will give you an actual cost per year. Being 50 and cruiser bikes you'll be in a different boat than a 20 year old with a 300cc bike. Good luck, lots of brokers and companies listed on this forum to get you going.

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    I have an 08 GSXR 750......I bought it 2 years ago with 12,000 kms for $6000. Was a good price then and from what I have seen a good price now. That bike is haggard and a very select few will actually want it. Mine came with everything you'd do to a bike to make it tasteful yourself and was...

    Significant increase in insurance rates

    If you are with Allstate and have had your M for more than 4 years you should be receiving the elite rider discount (30%). From my last renewal I had to call in and have them re-apply this discount as it doesn't roll year to year for some reason. Maybe a call to your agent will get it all...

    Save those plastic bottles

    I know when I did my Racer5 course they were collecting them at the time. Each one of those courses in the summer will generate a ton of bottles 3 days, lots of people, controlled collection environment. I hope this is still happening and if it isn't and that happened to be a fluke when I was...

    Georgia trip - any suggestions for roads and points of interest are welcome

    Have family in Georgia. Definitely spend time near or in Dahlonega. Very cool old town and the roads around it are amazing. Looks like you have that covered but make a small stop in the town and enjoy it.

    Yamaha R6 Rims - Does Anyone Know The Year?

    This never crossed my mind but if you are looking for a second set with rain tires, the guy I bought my 04 off of has or had a set, I didn't want them and preferred the reduced price without. Maybe post on the SOAR facebook page and you could get a hit. I can only remember his name was Ryan...

    Working out! Fitness! Nutrition!

    I will definitely be having some chips and beers as the time passes. I'm just in my early 30's but was starting to get a bit of a belly, I figured if I'm aggressive and take care of that now I can skip the how did I end up 30 lbs or more over weight and the hard battle of trying to change my...

    Working out! Fitness! Nutrition!

    I have been intermittent fasting for over a year now. Typically eat between 12-8. I have recently been cutting my calories and am now at 1500 a day between 10-6. I think this is the only reason I didn't balloon when I wasn't really watching my intake. Usually quiet active 5 days a week or...
