    Tell Ontario you want better motorcycle insurance - the petition is live

    Signed. 3 street licenced bikes and 2 cars for 1 rider/driver & 1 driver. My rates went down a little, but we moved out of the GTA, and every vehicle is getting older. Can only ride/drive one at a time! Thanks Mike

    H-D Livewire pricing...

    Not hate, truth. I guess you never saw the decorative paving stones in the customer bike parking area just after Harley opened their short-lived dealership on Lawrence just east of the DVP. I believe that's a Tesla dealership now.

    Thanks for my morning chuckle. Glad I wasn't drinking my coffee when I read this. :lmao:

    H-D Livewire pricing...

    We expected it to be pricey, but this is just crazy! https://www.harley-davidson.com/ca/en/motorcycles/future-vehicles/livewire.html But then again, their top priced bike is $54k, and 1/3rd of their bikes are $30k or more so what do you expect.

    Who's still riding? (Fall & Winter 2018 Edition)

    5" of new clear ice is safe for a sled, so should be no problem for a dirt bike. http://lakeice.squarespace.com/bearing-strength/ It was 6 1/2" 20 feet from shore, and 8" further out on Lake Scugog near Scugog Point this morning, so I went out for about 1 1/2 hrs of hooning around. I was out...

    Usless / unnecessary bike tech

    2018 Kawi Versys 1000 had basic ABS, Traction Control and a useless power mode thing. MSRP was $15.4k, now discounted to $14.6k. I picked up a 2017 demo with 900 kms for $12k in the Spring. https://www.kawasaki.ca/product/versys-1000-abs-lt/2018 2019 has pretty much the same engine but now...

    Who's still riding? (Fall & Winter 2018 Edition)

    Re: Who's still riding? (Fall & Winter 2018 Edition) Had to be downtown for work all week last week. Was able to ride in from Scugog Wednesday & Thursday. +/- 2hrs each way. All good. Now that I'm out of town and live on a dirt road, I need to pick and choose my end of season riding days.

    How to "private sell" a motorcycle?!

    If you're buying a new bike from the dealer, and they give you a decent price on the 2017 trade in, it may be worth doing this instead. Remember that you'll only be paying HST on the difference. If you sell privately, then buy new, you pay HST on the whole amount so, you need to sell for 13%...

    What sorcery is this..? (Helmet audio witchcraft..?)

    So it pairs with your phone and you can answer a call, but there is nothing on the web site about a mike to pick up your voice. Also nothing about pairing with similar devices for rider to rider or group communication. Looks like a bit of a one hit wonder. Pass.

    Tory takes aim at noisy motorcycles

    The key words in the article are "The bylaw review is currently underway by city staff and is due to be completed by the third quarter of 2019, with a report to council’s licensing and standards committee." This is just election rhetoric. He is asking that they role this into a larger by-law...

    Helmet Exemption Coming for Sikh Motorcyclists in Ontario

    Clearly this is more about politics than religion. Doug Ford stands in front of a group of Sikhs in Brampton and campaign promises to exempt them from the helmet law to get Sikh votes. More zealous (read political) Sikhs demand exemption on religious grounds when it appears that other more...

    Ganaraska - Lost Tool Kit

    Thanks for looking. It's a black box like in this picture. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3220/2773831936_b8aeba0212_o.jpg It was lost in that separate section south of Wilcox Rd best accessed from P4, most likely the trails south of WF2. Great section of hills there btw. Have fun.

    Ganaraska - Lost Tool Kit

    On Saturday I was riding in the southwest corner of the West Forest, and at some point the OEM tool kit for my WR250R decided to dislodge itself from its mount and go on its own little adventure. It's a rectangular plastic box with a triangular taper at the bottom. On the very odd chance that...

    Motorcycle Parking Fee 2015 – Response Coordination Thread

    I'm semi-retired now and moved out of Toronto and closer to the good riding. I'll try to keep an eye on this, but can't promise to be as diligent as I previously was. But with the election coming up, there will be no more Council meetings until the new year. And if Doug Ford gets his way with...
