    The ugly truth about sport bikes

    https://socialblade.com/youtube/user/doitwithdan If that's reliable, yearly earning 11K - 170K USD, from what I've read it seems that most fall into the 3/5th - 3/4 of revenue listed there. There's so much analytics that go into it and huge issues at the moment around content and what is deemed...

    bike insurance

    IF you can find someone willing to insure you for $300 a month, and you're prepare to pay that, enact the policy before they change your mind. As a new rider on an SS, that's about as good as it gets. That being said, you can probably find a naked bike with a few less HP and get coverage all...

    Ah, sounds like the same situation we have, fiance inherited my 10 year old Blackberry "unlimited data" plan when I got a corporate device a few years back lol. Was wondering if a new one one with a loop hole popped up :)

    State farm lowered my ins then just raised it

    +1 Matthew gave me a great quote back in April, but wanted it bundles with house and cars which was the deal breaker. If you can do standalone, you'll be laughing. Also check out TD MM (be sure it's Meloche Monnex when you call for any group discounts you may have).

    The ugly truth about sport bikes

    I watched a bit of this back when it was posted, as a 'suggested video' on my youtube, couldn't stand it and shut it off. He also has a video where he says 600cc sportbikes are useless; he seems like he'd be fun at parties lol Here's the opposite, guy has a ZX10R, rides his buddies heavily...

    Should I get full coverage, or just liability?

    It's unfortunate but with how insurance is here in Ontario, especially with motorcycle insurance, you're probably better off to eat the repair yourself, than to make a claim (even at a total loss of 3K). Especially if you plan on riding anytime in the next 6+ years after the accident.

    GoPro helmet mount - is this illegal?

    How in all of my years of driving did I think passing on a solid was ILLEGAL? I'm absolutely floored that I misunderstood it to be illegal, versus an advisory line. (I understand unsafe passing in any case, dotted or solid is ticket-able).

    Gas rage

    This is exactly why they are able to do what they do; because consumers are willing to curtail their wants to suit the price setting economy we have here. Gas prices are 1.5-2x what they should be? Consumer answer: SELL YOUR TRUCK AND STOP GOING PLACES Hydro pricing astronomical? Consumer...

    Buy denim jacket for motorcycle riding

    I'm of the mindset that proper riding gear is part of the cost of riding, just as insurance, registration, gas, and regular maintenance is. If you can't afford it, you can't afford to ride. (Not flaming you, you have the right mindset of wanting to be protected). Perhaps save up as you intend...

    Should I get full coverage, or just liability?

    Contact Ronn Calderon @ Dalton Timmis, he gave some very favorable rates on non-supersport bikes to both myself and a relative.

    How much do you pay in Taxes?

    It shouldn't surprise anyone, how else do you expect Canada to support refugees and hand out hundreds of millions of dollar in foreign aid ?

    M1 road test

    I've done both, the test at the course and test at the MTO, (received M2 the first time via the course, but let my license expire between off time from riding); the MTO test is definitely harder depending on your bike. Those little 125/250's they give you at the schools zip through the cones...

    Something different.

    Saw one of these run at TMP a few weeks back. Black. Only got to see a few of it's runs but it was NASTY and hooked up, hard launches and was running 10's all night I believe. I was jealous at the end of the night, seeing him leave in his car while I got covered in mayflies lol. I'm not sure...

    Re: Well, this will help the motorcycle image in Toronto! Guinness Book of World Records for most 'brain buckets' and back protectors over t-shirts in one spot. How is this enjoyable for anyone, it gives me anxiety seeing people with no more than a 1 ft radius around them and the next set of...

    Group of Motorcyclists wanted...

    Not old in the least bit, just semi-responsible and don't need to try and impress anyone. I like riding, don't want it to cost me anymore than it already does, and just want to make it home after each ride. Ever speak to someone who tried to get insurance (ie: so they can get to work), after...

    Re: OPP Claims "Motorcycle Hooligans" Terrorized Ont Highways I think even if everything fell in line; reasonable insurance rates and policing on sport bikes easing in areas, etc; these individuals would still behave like this. I don't think it has anything to do with "not being heard", it's...

    Group of Motorcyclists wanted...

    It is 100% true. There is no reason for a plate to be kinked/show signs of being bent other than the person has bent it up in the past. It's a clear sign to me that I don't want to be riding/associated with that person as a rider. I once got stopped years back at a single officer RIDE...
