I have a feeling there's more to it than that. Were it the case there wouldn't be blacklisted bikes and they wouldn't differentiate between an 1100 and a 250. They probably wouldn't care if you were riding a race rep or a Grom. Instead, they very much target the bigger capacity machines, they...

They seem to notice us when it comes to risk assessment and premiums. Just being a motorcyclist results in large premiums due to the risk of injury. Look at your policy and see how much of the total premium are statutory accident benefits. If insurance companies can already discriminate for...

Religion is a right. Riding a motorcycle is a privilege. If the rules of the former prevent you from adhering to the rules for the latter then you choose which is more important to you; either follow your religion or the rules of what you desire to do. The expectation that society must bow to...

Just got my Desjardin renewal today for my Tuono. Rates didn't go nuts (don't have exact numbers in front of me; might edit later this evening with actual numbers vs last years...) Up $8 net over last year. 52yo male, KW, M2 in 2014, M (can't remember; 2016?), clean record, also have house...

"Police said the 55-year-old motorcyclist was riding a Yamaha motorcycle north on Pharamacy Avenue, when the school bus, operated by a 62-year-old woman, turned left onto the path of where the motorcyclist was. " smh. Another innocent rider the victim of someone else's negligence. Best wishes...

Saw a bumper sticker like this one the other day and lol'd:

Automation. Take control away from the sack of meat in the "driver's seat." Everybody becomes passengers. But we're years away from full-fleet automation. Biometric based interlocks would be the next most secure but there are loopholes; blood alcohol along with fingerprint or retinal scan...

+1. Very nice.

Welcome. Where're you at and what do you ride?

The only thing scarier than having the Hells Angels mad at you would be having the US Marine Corps ****** at you.

The only "bobber" I would consider would be a factory-made one like Triumph's: They aren't my thing but that's a pretty good looking bike. But they're not inexpensive...

Welcome. Love the accent colours on the cam and clutch covers on those bikes.

Both are nice bikes but if you can wing the insurance on the Kwak I'd go that route. For gear I'd go to a local dealer with full gear (e.g. Burlington Cycle.) You can try stuff on for size and fit and the people there should be knowledgeable and experienced enough to help with things like...

It's an op-ed, not "journalism." It carries as much gravitas as The Family Circle. No where is it written that one needs to be a Rhodes Scholar to write an op-ed. Braun's op-ed is, of course, the worst kind of victim-blaming opinion-piece. I rather expect that for her next performance she'll be...

An incident that happens as a result of someone's negligence is not an "accident." This could be because a motorcyclist overestimated his ability rounding a corner or because a cager turned left in front of a motorcyclist. If these incidents were treated by police and insurance companies as...

Seven motorcyclists are dead after colliding with a pickup truck in New Hampshire Seven motorcyclists were killed and three others injured when they collided with a pickup truck that was going the opposite direction in New Hampshire, police said. Authorities received a call around 6:30 p.m...

**** that. Curious: Are you from the UK?

Sadly, it's probably serving as a mobile gun platform in Yemen by now. Will keep my eyes open here in KW.

Wishing the rider a full recovery.
