    Helmet purchase from Germany is it worth it

    I ordered MX boots from fcmoto about 3 years back. They arrived in 3 days via DHL. No duties or taxes on the shipment or after the fact to this very day. Within the next 12 months, might pull the trigger on a Schuberth E1 from Germany (want the ECE version not DOT) so, OP, if you can...

    Cyclist taken out

    Re: Cyclist hit and run For well over a decade, whenever I see any Corolla or any Volvo OR an older Camry, I pull off the road/into another lane and let them pass. They can't rear end you when they're in front of you. I do this in the car and on the moto but, admittedly, it's a lot more...

    Help the scrub who can wheelie but cant Rev Match Downshift

    What issues are you encountering? I can see some people having issues with this due to 2 main reasons. 1. Control movements and isolation. Every bike operates differently but I suspect that an FZ07 (never ridden one but would love to) would be ideal for this . Adding the right amount...

    KTM 2T, EFI; They have done it!

    Believe it has something to do with 2 events in the cycle whereas 4 strokes have 4. 2 Tiempo or something like that. Way harder to stall. Would love to try one one day. Fuel Injection and Oil Injection would be great. Now if they could only get them street legal.

    DRZ400 vs Wr250R

    Owned a WRR for years. Never ridden or owned a DRZ WRR lacks torque down low not only does it love to rev, it needs to rev to extract the most out of the engine. Unless slipping the clutch, no front wheel lofting power until about 25kph. wide ratio 6 spd gear box with ratios that I found...

    Fj07?

    That makes sense however the business people have already decided to sell both the FZ07 and FZ09 in Canada and the US. Aren't the differences between the Tracer 700 and 900 similar to the gap between FZ07 and FZ09?

    Husqvarna 701 Enduro

    Every year at the bike show, I throw the term WR450R about at the Yammie booth. They're listening but it isn't up to them. I'd get rid of my 690R for that in an instant but not for the 701 Enduro. The 701 SM is nice though because there is very little overlap with any of its competitors...

    Husqvarna 701 Enduro

    The 701 Enduro has longer suspension travel than its 690 Enduro equivalent (275mm Front&Rear vs. 250mm Front&Rear). If we are comparing 2017 models, the 701 also has the newer more powerful and smoother Duke engine while the KTM still has the old engine. Also in the states, the KTM 2017...

    Proper right-hand turn, when bicycle v. non-bicycle lanes?

    Two things come to mind. How much do you love your motorcycle or car? As a lifelong DT bicyclist, I can safely say that not only do most bicyclists not know the rules of the road but they are, as a population, almost totally unskilled in the art of the emergency stop and certainly do not...

    Commuting vs Pleasure riding

    If you mean the City of Toronto by "in town", then this is unfortunately not true across the board. One has to read the signs carefully. For example, I ride here quite often and may not use the diamond lanes at certain times...

    What a chase.....

    Was posted a few days ago but it's definitely worth reposting. If the lead rider did not have a pillion, he would have been gone.

    Helmet and headlight question?

    Many helmets have an internal sunshade built in and you should be able to find at least some selection at local bike shops. I don't know Ajax well but from there, I'd be going to either Royal or GP Bikes to have a look around to see how far your dollar will get you. If you plan on DIY adding...

    2010 Yamaha WR250X Build

    Pics of the skateboard wheels / frame sliders please! I've always thought this would be a trick way of doing it.

    Small off-road bike recommendation?

    If I were to rock a hitch carrier, I'd feel most comfortable with a frame on body vehicle. Most of those are trucks and jeeps although there are some cars that fit the bill (ie. crown vic). However you'd still probably want to make sure your suspension is up to snuff as that weight is...

    Husqvarna 701 Enduro

    This place not far from downtown Toronto is a dealer https://www.studiocyclegroup.com/bikes-for-sale/husqvarna/husqvarna-701-enduro.html I've seen a few wandering downtown streets although it could be the same bike. I chose the KTM 690 Enduro instead because I like the colour orange and...

    Anybody use lever guards for the street?

    For street only bikes ridden in deep winter, the support could enable the installation of a handlebar mitt / hippo hand

    Who's still riding? (Fall 2016 / Winter 2017 edition)

    Are trials helmets 3/4 sized because of the lack of visibility (ie. can't see where the landing is) or lack of mobility (ie. can't sufficiently tuck chin in) due to the chinbar of full face helmets when the front wheel is directly above the rear wheel? Or is it for some other reason?
