    Recommend a good stand alone back protector...

    Do you guys recommend back protector or a vest? A friend recently had an accident and even at low speed, his rib cage was severely damaged which got me thinking about a vest rather than a back protector alone. What are the pros/cons of each? Any thoughts/tips would be apprecoiated

    Getting passed by another motorcycle in my lane

    Haha the GTAM trolls come out! there is a reason for all these riding etiquettes and rules and why many people get mad at those who break them. I sincerely hope it never happens to you or anyone. But if one day you get clipped by one of these idiot tail riders who cant control their bike or...

    Getting passed by another motorcycle in my lane

    There is no justifying this! Stay in your tire track and dont cross my back wheel! You wanna pass, switch lanes! I cant believe this has to be discussed with people who have been riding for years! I was in a group ride this weekend and the guy behind couldnt regulate his speed! kept falling...

    Getting passed by another motorcycle in my lane

    One of my biggest pet-peeves! Specially in higher speeds. My second year of riding, this idiot passed me in my own lane on a ramp at about 130-140kms. Not sure if he thought it was a race or maybe we were on track but the moron just flew by in my lane! All squid of course It's NEVER ok to pass...

    Woooo PC majority

    Ontario gave him a huge majority! There is a reason for it. Most of us were just sick of the liberals and leftists politics. Let's hope there is some merit behind Doug's promises although ii'm not holding my breath. Bottom line is, the left had a lock on this province for 15 years and we saw...

    Nail in rear tire :(

    Its a rear tire so less risky to patch. Normally id sya do a patch from inside. I patched mine but my tire was 2 weeks old so def didnt wanna toss it and the patch held up perfectly fine. For that though, the tire has to come off so not cheap and at 7500kms, i would not waste money patching it...

    Caught on cam: Biker nearly struck by SUV

    This is true. Hence the need for safer ways to "get the message across" to those drivers who almost kill you and then use their car mass to still push you out of your own lane and get their way...or wlse

    Caught on cam: Biker nearly struck by SUV

    Similar thing happened to me with a similar outcome. But like others mentioned, dont go head to head with a car. A motorcycle can easily lose. Get inventive instead.

    Leaving battery charger on in bike

    I leave mine on all winter and even during the riding season, if im not riding for more than 2-3 days, i still plug her in. Mainly because i have a V-Twin motor which starts more rough than the in line 4s and my battery is 5 years old and still works lol So leaving it in wont do damage if its...

    Just did my first oil change - nothing blew up (or better yet siezed)!

    Good for you brother! I remember when many years ago i did my first oil change (also my first year) and like you, posted it here in GTAM all feeling accomplished, there were a few unamused members who came back with a less then encouraging "cool story bro" type replies! lol I see the attitudes...

    Rob's wife sues Doug

    Like everything else, innocent until proven guilty. I'd say the same thing if Wynne was on the hot seat or anyone else for that matter. Allegations ALONE mean nothing as we have seen so many false accusations recently proven in court
