    New riders: should we armour up?

    I love my Icon Overlord products. My gloves have to be replaced after 3 seasons of riding as the stitching is coming out of one of the finger tips. I am sure I could fix it myself but thought they were due to be changed. Trying Scorpion SG3s this time. very similar to the new Icon...

    New riders: should we armour up?

    The only time I tend to go with less gear (and that is only minus the my Knox Shorts and A* Knee guards) is at work when I may pop down the road to get a sub or Tim's and then come back. Even then half the time I put on my knee guards as it is just habit now with the rest of my gear. Oh, on...

    New riders: should we armour up?

    "Hey, I'm going to sleep with a prostitute..... should I wear a rubber?" Answer : Hmmmmmmmm As for gear, depends who you ask as you can tell. For me I wear helmet, leather jacket (Overlord Prime), full gloves, Jeans (sometimes regular, sometimes kevlar), knee/shin armour and full boots...

    Crashes in the news & significant others

    Accidents will happen and as a rider the risk of serious injury goes hand in hand with riding. I went down for the first time about 2 weeks ago. I am still relatively new to riding and have about 20,000km under my belt. I'd been riding all day and was less than 2km from home, just on the way...

    Honda CBR 125 or something with more.........

    I think a 125 is pretty small for most people and I'd guess most will outgrow it quickly (depending on personal funds). If money isn't a factor I'd look for 250 or 300 to start on IMO. Another option are one of the the CBR500s models. I started riding at 40 on the a new 2012 Ninja 250 and...

    Bike Night Every Thursday in June & July - Royal Distributing in Guelph

    I've been to most of them this year, always a good event. Yup, just the two left this season. The last one is huge usually and the turnouts this year seem larger than last so it should be a good one.

    Canada's Motorcyle.ca

    Purchased most of my gear there, have done a few returns and never had an issue. Would always recommend them.

    how angry would it make you if other rider passed you in your own lane?

    I was in town last year (Guelph) going down a bad pot holed road. There was a HD rider behind me who decided to pass on the right tire track just as I was switching to it to avoid a crater. Almost took us both out. I was able to avoid him but I was damn close. I pulled off before reaching...

    EPA acknowledges that ethanol damages engines

    I use Shell 91 gas 99% on my last two bikes. I think I have only put non Shell in twice in my current bike and each time it was only like $5 worth of gas to get me back out of the middle of no where. When my fuel light comes on and I am not close to any Shell stations that I know of I just...

    We Ride App

    I know, I had to turn off my We Ride notifications as I was getting non stop ones from you and the other guys turning on and off your WeSpots LOL. Should be very useful come riding weather.

    Guelph area?

    Guess I have been lucky as I have missed the parades. Though the parade participants know how to drink their coffee at that one shop. Never pulled into that parking lot.

    Guelph area?

    Isn't that still a dirt road? Not how others do it but my SS isn't dirt road friendly. If I am off somewhere new and the road turns to gravel I just turn around.

    Guelph area?

    Guelph here. Forks is okay to visit if you haven't been before. The twists are nice but at 50 kmh and lots of cops it isn't an area to be testing ones skills. I went up there a few times last year, it was a destination more than anything, never stopped for coffee. Also check out the We...
