    This is why we ride 5

    Simple, shots of people standing around in a Timmies parking lot or a Harley dealership don't make for thrilling video. ;) j/k

    GP Bikes (and others) Boxing Week sales?

    Just wondering if anyone has been out to see what deals are to be had on motorcycle stuff this boxing week, from GP Bikes and any other places in and around southern Ontario. Personally was hoping to pick up a smoke visor for my new RF-1200 on sale...but doesn't seem like it is discounted...

    Decisions -- Zumo 390 series vs 590 series

    It should....I have both my Zumo and iPhone paired to my SMH10 (phone uses both the A2DP stereo profile and a HFP profile for calls/Siri, and the Zumo uses a HFP for navigation). Whenever the GPS wants in, it just cuts the other feed and says its piece, then the music resumes. Actually been...

    Consolidating Insurance policies

    I recently consolidated all of mine under All State (previously the car and home was with TD MM, and the bike with Aviva/Dalton Timmis). When setting up the car and home last March, I mentioned about the bike and got the numbers for it. When the bike came due in June, I called All State back...

    Decisions -- Zumo 390 series vs 590 series

    Went with the 395 as my budget was already stretched. Didn't go on any big trips this year, but I did use it on and off throughout the summer to see how it worked. Overall it worked fairly well -- Paired fine with my Sena SMH10 and gave audio directions even when listening to music through my...

    Get out there ....Oct 2017 version

    By the sounds of it....that might be this Thursday.

    Get out there ....Oct 2017 version

    Pretty stupid given all the rain in the forecast....how to waste money 101. That said, mine is going away in the next few days...temps getting too low, and snow/winter is on the horizon. Hopefully 2018 will be a better riding year.

    Zombie law coming?

    I believe I might have been the one to mention that actually, and in neither case was I looking at my phone. If I were I'd probably be dead right now. For the left turning one, it was at Bloor and Spadina, and I actually had to stop walking and stand in the middle of the road. I think I even...

    New bike plates

    When I traded in my 250, I told them I wanted to keep my plates. When the day came, I simply rode it to the dealership and they removed the plate from it, and put it on the new bike...dealership did all the MTO work to get it done.

    Zombie law coming?

    I still wonder how people could be that dumb to walk into the side of an emergency vehicle with lights and siren, especially something as bright and larger as a fire truck...but I digress. Honestly with how bad city drivers are these days for similar reasons (phones), looking before you cross...

    Sudden fear of death

    This 1000%. Knowing risks and weighing things is healthy and can be what is the difference between coming home on 2 at night, or coming back in a bodybag. Many out there ride for the 'risk' and get a rush from taking unnecessary ones. Personally I mitigate risk as much as I can (like...

    Should I buy a bike now or next season?

    Not sure if you are buying new or not, but with the 400 coming out soon I'd wait, as 300 prices can only go lower. Not to mention you won't have to worry about storage or theft in the condo until at least spring.

    Zombie law coming?

    I'm just sad we live in a world where a law like this needs to be debated. If I'm crossing the road where objects travelling at potentially high rates of speed that weigh over a thousand pounds exist, I'm going to look and make sure none are about to collide with me. Seems like common sense...

    Get out there ....Oct 2017 version

    I put mine away once winter hits, but I have been out before at 2-3c. Tires seemed fine, then again I wasn't pushing things at all, and was riding the same way I would in heavy rain.

    507 full of sand.

    From last Sunday (October 22nd): Also noticed the sign Jeff96 mentioned about road resurfacing, then sand a second or two afterwards.

    Do you wear full height boots for street riding?

    No doubt it will work with a race suit, but for me personally, they do not work with that specific pair of knee armour and what I wear on the street. Honestly if my shins were maybe 1-2" longer they'd be fine, but I have fairly short legs (29-30" inseam), so they don't work well together in my...

    Do you wear full height boots for street riding?

    Personally combine 2 pieces for my gear....pair of shorter height boots plus knee & shin armour. I actually have a pair of Supertech Rs, but they can't interface with the knee armour at all, so I don't use them much.

    Gas station reward points?

    One of my cards is the Tangerine MC....set one of my categories to Gas, so I get 2% back at all stations. Also collect Air Miles at Shell, but they never amount to much (esp given the bike's tiny tank compared to the car).

    Recommendations for low cut riding shoes

    Tops cut in where and how? A lot of boots (especially non sport ones) flair out a lot at the top...I've seen some touring boots that flair enough I could stick my fist between the tongue and my shin (works well for armour, but might also help in your case too).

    Is it wrong to hope somebody crashes?

    Personally, wishing someone crashes is wrong, but if somehow you found out (news or otherwise) said squidiot crashed, then I would neither feel compassion for them nor be surprised. As for riding and riders in general, some are good, but a lot are not. Riding seems to attract all types, and...
