    FRS based bike to bike communication.

    Sena sells the SR10 for linking to a PTT radio solution. Not sure where you'd mount the unit though, as you still need to push the button to speak AFAIK. https://www.sena.com/product/sr10/

    How much will my insurance premium decrease after the 1st year of riding?

    Like posted above, M doesn't really matter...it is more about years of experience without any tickets or claims. That said, since you are over 30, if you do get your full M and get a number of years of experience you might qualify for extra discounts (I did). In my own personal case, I was...

    Ugh 8 C and about to pour

    All that rain and warmer temps are good...it's the return to cold, snow, and salting this coming week which sucks terribly...

    Follow you flying drone

    Biggest concerns imo would be speed and battery life (esp at max speed), but also obstacle avoidance over that much ground. If you wanted to have it follow you for 1-2 mins down a road or 1 corner, that might work. Pretty much. Kinda like how every car you see on the 401 is breaking speed laws.

    Significant increase in insurance rates

    Jeff was great to work with, but personally I left Allstate this year as I got better rates moving all to Dalton Timmis (who insured with Aviva). I was getting a union discount from Allstate in the past, but apparently they reduced it from either 10-15% to around 5% this year, which caused me...

    Your First Ride of 2018

    Waiting for clean roads and overnight temps consistently above 3-4c. Was hoping for the weekend of April 14th, but looking more like it could be the 21st or 28th this year, due the cold snap and slow they are calling for first week of April...

    Best time to buy gear after Winter ?

    Either the spring show which is in 2 weeks, or the "tent" sales that happen sometime in summer at both GP Bikes and Royal Distributing. Note when the show is on, the stores might also discount things things (I recall in the past GP doing not HST for bike show weekend or similar).

    No more demo rides?

    Looks like Honda hasn't published anything under "Come Ride With Us", so maybe they really are out for 2018...

    Mcdougall Insurance? 1500 a year for 600cc SS?

    Maybe OP got liability only? Granted I think the big charge with bikes is more or less in the accident benefits category (doesn't cost them much to replace a bike, but it does to fix a human).

    2018 Renewals vs 2017

    Bike stayed about the same for 2018, but car went up $300 or so (both with Allstate). Not overly happy with the latter.

    ABBA Superbike stand?

    Just wondering if anyone knows a place in Canada (even better if local/near the GTA) that sells the ABBA Superbike stand, and/or if it can be ordered from Parts Canada (in other words, GP Bikes or similar could get one in)? I think Bluestreak used to carry them, but they are no longer listed on...

    New Bike Purchase - should I take collision or not - $157.00 extra??

    Waiver of depreciation (OPCF 43/43A) -- I had it on mine until I moved the bike to another provider. Cost me $100/year, and meant full MSRP back if written off. Out of interest who are you with that is providing it for a motorcycle? When I called around it seemed only TD MM and Aviva would...

    No more demo rides?

    Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if they made full M a requirement for any bike...just to make sure the rider has at least rode a little and at a minimum passed both the M2 and the ministry road test. If they actually do scrap the demo days (including Rock the Red) that will be a sad day, as...

    Solo touring

    I've been doing more of my riding solo the last few years -- Easier to pick when and where to ride, no dealing with people wanting to break the sound barrier all the time, can control how long and when I want to stop/need to stop for gas, etc, etc. That said, I haven't toured into the US yet or...

    1.5 months

    Personally have my "Start of Riding Season....Hopefully" date to April 15th. Might be warmer before then, but typically the roads are still being salted due to overnight lows, plus a few good rains to wash most of the crap away.

    RBC/AVIVA HUGE increase

    My CBR650FA was pretty low when I was with Dalton Timmis/Aviva for 2-3 years. That said, I switched everything to Allstate as they were much better on my bike and car. Fingers crossed rates went down for 2018 vs up...Guess I find out in around another 2-4 weeks.

    Nearly 400% increase?

    I don't get why the OP says he still has a clean record....he doesn't, as he clearly said he has 1 at fault that just happened. Granted if he had accident forgiveness on his policy, then in theory there should have been no increase at all, with that company (others would still rate him with an...
