    M2 exit to full M without 400 hwys?

    +1 you should never stop learning. It is like playing a musical instrument, you always learn new stuff constantly. There are also many who just get by and never try to get better.

    New bike for the Royal Highness advise

    Agree forget about changing signals but may be hard to find Sliders for that vintage of Ninja 250. R&G does not list anything but I am sure ebay should have something.

    M2 exit to full M without 400 hwys?

    Holy crap people in order to hold an unrestricted license requires you prove that you can operate a vehicle on all of the roadways in our province and that includes 400 series highways. Whether or not you plan on using them there may and probably will be a time where you may need to use one...

    Great Customer Service from GP Bikes

    Motul 7100 used to be my oil of choice when I could find it for a reasonable price. Now I use the Liquid Moly Syn as it is better price. And no not to become an oil thread, whatever oil you use is fine! Just change it regularly and you will be fine. And just don't use oil made for...

    Great Customer Service from GP Bikes

    Just wanted to commend GP Bikes. I ordered 4 $54 4 litre jugs of Synthetic Liqui Moly 10W40 last week and received them on Monday. Today I got an email with a flyer saying the oil was now $10 off and no HST event. I emailed them asking if they had a policy about price matching a recent...

    Offering advice to new riders

    Although I do agree to not preach some advice if given the right way to a new rider can't hurt. The issue I have is he chose not to wear gear but is probably well versed from taking his course the perils of crashing without gear on. BUT! Does his passenger have the same knowledge to make an...

    What bike to buy?

    Check insurance first. And if you are not mechanically inclined stay away from the vintage bike unless you have lots of money. And a 74 Commando may be simpler mechanically but not simpler to repair as parts availability will be way more difficult than a MG V7 and cost of parts will be high...

    Tom Cruise can ride!

    What is more impressive is he learned to fly a Helicopter and did his own stunt flying.

    Ouch! Always (almost) wear armor while riding.

    If you don't know how to operate a motorcycle properly this is going to happen. There is a reason why riders should take a basic rider training course to at least learn how to brake in an emergency. From what I can see he did not touch the clutch or the front brake at all. Yes I know it is...

    Motul 7100 synthetic oil

    Just as an FYI I have been using 7100 on all 5 of my bikes. This year switched to Liqui Moly 10w40 Synthetic and it seems just as good, no shifting changes and a little less expensive.

    Insurance Void if Riding on Highway on M1?

    And for those that don't understand the Ontario No fault Insurance System: Ontario has a "no-fault" car insurance system, but this does not mean that no one is at fault in an accident. The term "no-fault" insurance simply means if you are injured or your car is damaged in an accident, then you...

    Insurance Void if Riding on Highway on M1?

    Your insurance company will know about the collision if the 3rd party reported to their company, no way out of that. No fault insurance means the car you hit's insurance fixes their car not Riders Plus. As to the damage to your bike you have 2 choices, fix it yourself so that way there is no...
