    A good motorcycle story from the general media

    There is a 401 iron butt for anyone interested (this is on the bucket list this year before we pop our first baby). gotta do the whole length of the 401 and back (ie: windsor to QC border and back in 24 hours). its a canadian iron butt (1000km) but a challenge nonetheless. this is just another...

    M2 | Age 28 | Ottawa Residence | First Bike advise

    ill be the devils advocate and say even up to a used 500 is fine as you are hopefully a mature rider. there are lots to choose from, relatively cheap as chips. from my experience, id say look at a second gen of any of the following (basically 1994ish and newer) - ninja 250, 300, 500, suzuki...

    M2 | Age 28 | Ottawa Residence | First Bike advise

    if costs is an issue (because you asked about insurance cost) consider older used rides for your first bike as you learn. youll need more confidence, and the pride shouldn't drop too much when you inevitably drop it (we all have, dont sweat it). also 125cc is never too small for a sane rider...

    Honda VFR1200 or ST1300

    yup heres mine in a full spec mid-life crisis accountant spec. not a bad angle on it imo, especially from the rear. rereading OPs post i worry that the lean/bars might be a tad too aggressive but that bike ergo site from previous should settle the dust for you. its been a while since ive sat on...

    Honda VFR1200 or ST1300

    ever consider a triumph sprint ST/GT? always loved the vfr800 for the single sided swingarm and the utility and sportiness until i rode with a guy in a group and couldnt stop looking at his sprint. bought one now and its got everything i need, looks, utility, can 2 up no problem, etc etc. im...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    shameless plug to say a sprint 1050 looks wayyy better as a sports tourer... always wanted a vfr but stumped upon my current steed (08) and couldnt say no.

    Algonquin Park Fall Colours Tour

    so tempted to join and call in "sick" tomorrow to join... but it would be an iron but for me from london and a 6am departure from TO/sauga. at the very least i hope you have a butt load of fun. its gunna be a win win situation - maybe not the colours your want but itll be good riding regardless.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    if it wasnt for the poor non-tesla charging network (seems like you need to have 10 different apps and accounts to cover the non-tesla charging network in canada, and half the time they look down or not charging full fast speeds) i would be hopping on the lesser EVs (bolt euv but it needs fast...

    Reviews on torque motorsports jackets?

    I am looking for a new jacket. preferably waterproof. There is this cheaper brand called "Torque" selling at Royal Distributing which I believe is Torque Motorsports from Pakistan. I can't seem to find any reviews on their stuff, does anyone have any insight? Other than they run quite hot in the...
