I always take the extra second (if possible) to acknowledge a little kid who is making googly eyes over my bike, or the kids who stop playing or moving to watch you. I remember being young and being fascinated by bikes and cars and how awesome it was when the driver/rider gave me a rev or a...

Nice! Thanks for the update. Once thing I find in falls once I started wearing a base layer (under armor heat something), I definitely don't last as long on the bike before legs cramp up. I think the added bulk behind the knee (even though minor), contributes to some discomfort as the ride...

I've got the Missle (airflow) version of them, they are a great pant all around. One thing to remember is they are off the rack sizing, not a custom suit, etc so they try to aim to fit a wide range of sizes and riding positions. I went up a size as well versus what the size chart said, my...

As far as insurance, 30 is the new 25 unfortunately. Your location will also be an additional killer. I'm not sure how previous posters can say a 600 SS is 'a bad idea' for a new rider and then go on to suggest a wheelie/low end torque monster like a FZ07/MT09, that's got me scratching my head...

How does that remove the aspects of affordability from what I listed? lol Dirt/Track has it's own risks/costs associated that need to be looked after as well.

On my old 07 600 GSXR, I literally used 2 L brackets from home depot to mount the plate to the stock undertail holes; lined right up with no issue, completely hidden and cost $1

There is always a certain subset from any group that always wants to do things on the cheap; those who otherwise couldn't afford to do what they are doing. Whether it's motorcycles, racing cars, water sports, anything with inherent risk. I know a guy who rides, has a wife and young kids, and...

19 with fresh license? If he can get 5K on a litre bike the insurer + under writers must be asleep at the wheel lol :) As many have said, call around and quote. I think previous posters quote of 1.5 - 2K is pretty accurate; especially given your location. As stated if your dad gets a...

I'll echo what everyone has mentioned, M1 rates are terrible compared to M2. A GOOD insurance representative will be able to explain to you the difference. I'd suggest reaching out to Ronn Calderon at Dalton Timmis (ronnc@daltontimmis.com); he was a great help both in rates and explaining the...

Seems like 9/10 guys in the video were 1) Either setting it down from a wheelie 2) At the top of their power band in a low gear. Looks for many it's that state between having the front wheel firmly planted - and not. PS. The guy with the A-star gloves probably needed new underwear for the...

Perhaps another like this?

Closest track (dragstrip or roadcourse) on this side of the boarder is Toronto Motorsports Park in Cayuga. 1/4 mile and smaller roadcourse compared to the ones up Toronto way. Can't speak to the USA tracks. Canadian Motor Speedway as far as I know opted NOT to have a dragstrip; and is a 3/4...

Having tried a few earbud/plug options; I found these to be the best for me personally. They include both soft and 3-tier style plug options depending on your canal. I've had them in for 6 hours without issue, can't even notice they are there. When compared with regular ear plugs, I feel they...

Sounds like you covered all your bases, if your VIN# is correct and you've verified license #, no convictions or accidents that might 'appear', etc. Any issue I've ran into with under writing has always been before slips have been issued, within an hour of giving my banking information...

I kid, I kid. Rule of thumb, if you have to ask 'is this a scam'; it's a scam.

As many have said, either have a law or don't have it; there shouldn't be religious exemptions. It should be amended that if you ride without a helmet you forfeit OHIP and insurance benefits, we should not pay to care for you when your religious choice requires you to receive round the clock...

It's not so much that they are blacklisted everywhere per say, it's probably more specifically your age and limited riding experience. From what I've gathered from my own search and others posting on the board, getting SS insurance under 30 is going to cost you 4K+ (if you're lucky). Most on...
