As a VERY rough reference, they talked this in Twist of the Wrist. But not in terms of power range, but tire contact and suspension load point of view.

Cool sight if you've never been, once you've been, then I'm not sure if there are other reasons you want to go again.

Yeah a little bit. Like a car, you don't go buy a Honda then complain about it not having torque. Parallel twins and inline 4 are inherently low in torque in the bottom end, if a torquey bike is what you are looking, then you're look at 1000s or V-twins.......or Harleys.

As a commute, the 250/300 is nice, you'll love it when you start sitting in traffic in middle of the summer. Bigger bikes are generally much much hotter idling than the smaller 250/300. And if you can't pull out in front of a car to pass him, just drop 2 gears, it's part of the fun IMO (you...

Not sure for bikes, but I assume it's the same as cars, but if you don't have valid insurance, you can't renew your plate sticker. I couldn't even renew my parent's sticker while they were away and put the car insurance on theft and fire only.

And remember, the 3-hr max parking rule still applies to motorcycle, so you should be aware that it might get towed/ticketed depending on Parking Enforcement. Look for other bikes in the building and see if they would share their spot for a fee.

Re: Citizen’s arrest - do Toronto cops need more training? It's a bit unrealistic to expect police to have training to be as good as the JTF2 to have the perfect reaction to every situation. Policy training barely last 3 months in Ontario, and that includes all aspects training: learning book...

Have a pair of A* and Rev'it mesh overpants, they both work great, dress pants were never wrinkle. Only problem, they are kind of bulky with all the armour built in. So they are a pain to carry around and to put at the corner of the desk in the office.

Already started, the last few GreenP lots I've been to already has the mobile app payment set up and running. Just a matter of time before they switch the pay stations to a license plate based system.

Mine actually went down 10% with TDMM: 32M, 4yrs riding, Scarborough, no ticket, and SV650

I actually tried to look for a Hyosung bike cover to buy, but still haven't found one.

Can't say I'm an actuary to know what weight driving mileage factors into your premium. But I suspect even if you put on half the km in a year, it doesn't automatically mean your premium should be half of what it was. With the simple reason that just because you don't drive, it doesn't mean...

Your one coverage idea is basically incorporated into how you pay insurance already. Your rate based on what you drive, how much you drive it and when you drive it. If you have two vehicles, and let's say you put on a total of 20000 km a year, your premium reflects you put 20k on two vehicles...

I understand the sentiment, but 3% is crazy, wtf? I want to shop at your business if you own a shop somewhere. Would you want to run a business, put in the hard work and only have 3% of profit? And for insurance company, they carry a lot of risk, that 10% profit is only because they made money...

From what my friend who's been in insurance for a while explained to me. Auto insurance is pretty regulated, so any major rate changes need to be approved by the provincial gov't with detail proof showing why they want to change the rates. For auto insurance, while being the largest market in...

Did you insure one of the two vehicles as a recreational vehicle? And just shop around dude, insurance is a competitive industries, they always have discounts to attract new businesses and ding you a bit on the renewal.

People made the choice to move 50km outside of the city, and that's the choice that drives them nuts commuting to work. Alternatives could be living in a condo, or another suburb closer to the city (and live in a smaller place). If you want the bigger house with a backyard at a bargain price...

Pretty sure every municipality gets a portion of the gas tax, not just Toronto, and it's probably proportionate to the population rather than # of commuter they support (but I have no idea how that is divided). Though you might pay more than others since you have a longer commute and use more...

I go about speed limit if the rest of the lanes aren't really moving, but slow down after an on-ramp, and I stay on the left tire track to have more space and time to react in case someone pulls into the HOV lane.
