    NBD -New Bike Day - (soon)

    Over the last week been talking to LBD (Local Bike Dealer) and doing some research. I set a price i would accept for a trade of the Majesty and a low point / high point for the out the door cost of a new bike. Doing the Craiglist selling dance is a pain these days so would rather trade. Do not...

    British Columbia

    well as for companies and rates. You must get insurance from government (as mentioned, ICBC) but you can get just the basics with them and use alternate for extras (comp / theft fire etc) much cheaper than using ICBC for everything. For the optionals i am with a company called Beacon. for...

    23% better ...where's the rate break....???

    yep you all will get a break in rates. Just that your deductible will go up by +$2000.00 meaning if your bike is worth $8000.00 your deductible will be $10000 :)

    Winter riding

    basically what i was going to say. Some winters it only really just downtown Vancouver that gets little snow. Even going just 1km radius the conditions change. There is a reason most of the hwys outside of Vancouver say mandatory snow tires for cars and chains for trucks after Oct 01. Just watch...

    Female rider looking for rider/officer Matt who helped me on hwy 410 on thanksgiving

    so confused. So when you say navy, you mean the colour of the uniform? and not like the Armed Forces with boats and ships and the sea kind of stuff? I read the op and thought, how can he be in the Navy and a Brampton fireman at the same time.

The rain let up in the early morning so i zoomed out around 11am to get some errands run before the rain comes back. I left the big bike home and went out on...

    In case you were wondering about those big scoots.....

    So for the last few years i have had both a scooter and motorcycle. The last two being a Honda CBR500ra and Yamaha Smax 155cc scooter. Over the last month or so i came to realize that the motorcycle was nice for longer trips, it was more of a pain to ride. When ever i am out i almost always want...

    Can we legalize lane filtering yet?

    around here anyway, i find that alot of hwy jam ups with completely stopped lanes is because for one, no one knows what the word "merge" means. Also seems like everyone only looks 1ft in front of their car and thus does not see the signs saying lane will end shortly. So everyone is surprised the...

    Question for you lane splitters

    A few comments about this, mainly in relation to BC and Vancouver area. Lane splitting and filtering is legal and allowed here. Yes i said it, but only when you want to get on a BC Ferry. You ride to front of the usually long line of cars, filtering when needed to get to the front of the line...

    Yamaha R3 or CBR500/CB500

    depends on how big you are. I was sure i was going to get an R3. Love my Smax build quality and performance so wanted to keep it all Yamaha. But the bike is just too small for me. I also did not like the ergo on the R3. Sit posture was great, need more upright due to health reasons and the R3...
