This is exactly what I would do ^. When I'm riding my motorcycle, I will always pull over to the right (if and when safe to do so) if I don't feel comfortable with the way someone is driving. Honestly, I question the mentality and maturity level of some motorcycle riders when they indicate...

I got my M2 at the age of 46. My son was 18; had graduated from high school and was moving to the U.S. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad for the opportunity my son had to go to the U.S. But I realized how easy it was for him just to "leave me" (after 18 years of raising him alone). That's when I...

I was the friend with Lorgayle, and you're right. And like she said, that's what we figured too. We did kind of look like we were just relaxing; trying to stay out of the sun :) This is the second time in as many weeks that my bike has broken down. But this time, I had (adult) company and...

Thanks for the links, Major. You are absolutely right; every rider is different. And therefore, I don't believe your above statement is a fact. I myself may be looking for a cruiser in the future. For the type of riding I do, basically point A to B, a 250 would be just fine.

Good idea! :)

There is nothing wrong with someone posting for an opinion or to read of someone elses experience. So, you found out all by yourself that taking your cbr125 "on the high wall...was slow...". That's good. Like the OP, I like to get other people's opinions; read about their experiences. And...

Well, that's disappointing. I sent an email and the response I received was that "all motorcycles would be respresented". Suppose I won't waste my time, or $20. I was hoping to pick up a mesh jacket.

OP, like others have said, the M1 to M2 course really does teach you what you need to know. I personally had never been on a motorcycle before taking the CMA course in August, 2009. Your wife will be just fine. You'd be surprised at the amount of people who have never actually been on a...

Of course there is obviously a "strong reaction" and people do "care". Otherwise, why did people bother reading the article and/or posting a comment? The title alone should have been enough of an indicator what the article was going to be about. As far as it being "another stupid article...

Very good insight, and maturity. I believe the latter is sorely lacking in this forum. I repeat. It all comes down to choice and respect. Plain and simple! Imagine how boring this world would be if we were all the same?

Thanks for the explanation, Johnny5. I suppose it's just a matter of getting used to a different type of motorcycle. The 125 didn't have a choke. I miss the FI. I'll get used to it though.

First, have a safe trip! I'd like to travel a distance by bike, one day. But it would be backroads for sure. Sorry, I don't have any advice, suggestions, etc. I'm sure someone else will though. But, I do have a question. I just bought a 2005 Ninja 250r a week ago. (My last bike was a CBR125)...

Well said! I got my M2 in August, 2009. My then 18 y.o. son asked if he could get his license. If my son had gotten his M2, I would have stopped riding. My choice. End of.

Personally, I thought it was a well-written article. I enjoyed reading it. The man made a choice. I admire and respect that. I believe there are riders on this forum who will continue to ride and endanger themselves (and others) when clearly they should hang up their bike keys. "Attitude...

Not "old fashioned" at all. Very admirable, and sweet! I hope she knows how you feel. Women like to know. Trust me.

Hi! Looking for a gently-used woman's mesh jacket (except a black one); size medium/large (depending on cut/fit of jacket). Prefer location in or near Hamilton. Thank you!

Welcome! I like your bike. In fact, I thought for sure a 250 Marauder was going to be my first bike. When I took the course, one of the students rode his on the second day and let me sit on it.

I would have to say I agree with this ^. One of the reasons I sold my first bike, among other reasons, was the weight. My second bike (125 CBR), was much easier to handle, and lift. Just purchased a 250 Ninja and believe me, I'm going to try and do everything in my power not to let that thing...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions/recommendations!

Hi! I need to have the safety done on a 2005 Ninja 250r. Can anyone please recommend someone/somewhere in Hamilton (or surrounding area)? Thanks in advance!
