    M2-exit Test Burlington road route?

    sux you Ontarians have to use an ear piece. Here the test is done using a vest with a speaker on it. Can hear the tester fine. One tip. Put a couple lines of tape down the back/rear of helmet. Makes your head movements more noticeable.

    Yamaha r3 premium or regular?

    during riding season i use Shell Silver (89) as it only has "up to 5%" ethanol. Over winter i use the Shell 91 to store the bike. Do not know about the R3 manual but most manuals do not say ONLY use xx octane but say use xx octane as a minimum. So for the R3 it would be minimum 87 octane.

    Can we legalize lane filtering yet?

    Not semantics. there are differences. As per Australia NSW rules on this What’s the difference between lane filtering and lane splitting? Lane filtering is where a motorcycle rider moves past stationary or slow moving vehicles safely at a speed of 30km/h or less. Lane filtering is legal...

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    he has edited his ad to reflect a lower (tho still over priced) price. "2013 cbr 250 R. Asking 4500 Obo. Has 2000.00 km only. Never dropped basically brand new." it is not basically brand new. it is a 3 yr old used bike.

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    2014 Versys for only 7k .. not super over priced i guess but pretty close. I would love to hear his(her) definition of a drop tho. A tip over is a drop in my books. "Never crashed or dropped, but it was tipped over in a parking lot" http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/mcy/5481571451.html

    NBD -New Bike Day - (soon)

    i thought of keeping insurance on until i got new bike. But on the other hand did not want ICBC to keep any money if i had no bike. The Government gets too much money as it is. I would have had to pay more anyway for new bike. No straight up transfer. The Majesty is in a lower insurance tier...

    yes. i can understand being wary of this new fangled DCT tech. But in the 2016 i read it is 2nd generation of the tech. So with that, any bugs would be worked out. Also the DCT has been out in the EU for a while now and from the NC forums i have read there not many issues with it. Most love it...
