    Working out! Fitness! Nutrition!

    No need for all that really. Get a calorie counter app like MyFitnessPal or (much better) Cronometer. Try using a couple BMR calc's as they aren't precise, but they will give you an idea how many calories you burn at rest or on a typical day. Subtracting 500 can be drastic, don't start off with...

    Working out! Fitness! Nutrition!

    Try just omega 3. A good quality sourced, keep it dark and cool. If omega's go off, and they are highly sensitive to heat, light, agitation, then they will cause inflammation and not decrease it. Also, you are likely getting enough 6 and 9 from diet alone. 3 is the hardest to get in our typical...

    difference between 300 and 600cc

    Most of the talk is focused on bike classification and insurance, and I agree there, just call around with different models you're interested in. As for what kind of bike to get, do your M2 Entry course first. Any proper course will have 250cc cruisers and 125cc sportbikes for you to try, as...

    Hello from Keswick

    Lol, with a shiny new bike patience will be well rewarded!! The bike looks really good in that colour scheme! New rider, new bike... I highly recommend some crash protection (frame sliders, spool sliders, bar end sliders, that kind of thing). Pretty inexpensive, looks good, and can save you a...

    Hello

    LOL I regret not having a bike the 7 years I lived up there. Had 3 mountainbikes though... that counts, right? Markham being on the east side, you can always head up to Haliburton, that's fun. Or if you come more to the west then head north there's the Creemore area, then north to Georgian bay...

    Not really new... but back

    Revzilla spent a lot of time raving, and cursing, this bike lol. Great review, but the things that could be improved upon were deemed either a little dangerous or really worth improving for the ride factor. They also did an awesome 2 part article about how to fix those issues and make a great...

    Ontario is no longer the place to prosper

    LOL When was he ever NOT quite a bit of an obnoxious loudmouth? I definitely wouldn't lump him with Trump though! And this is kind of a moot point in relation to the letter re Wynne's cash grab. As for the state of Alberta's economy and the way O'Leary is blaming Nolte, I agree, it's angering...

    Looking for mature sportbike riders in markham/stouffville/whitby etc area

    I took the Total Control Advanced Riding Clinic Level 1 offered through Sharp Riding courses. Lee Parks designed the program, and it's really taking off in the US, it's even the official safety course now in a couple states. He takes principles from the track and adapts them to keeping smooth...

    Ontario is no longer the place to prosper

    Surprised at 2 things: 1 - the gas plant scandal 2 - the fact that McGuinty was just as bad... we don't have an issue with the Wynne Liberals as someone said in here. Ontario Liberals have been mucking things up for awhile now. I'm with whomever said they can't believe the people who voted in...

    Get you beasts Ready this week-end--!!

    Sad to see some of the negativity in here because some people ride differently than others. If you take the necessary precautions, you can ride in almost anything. Anyway, one danger of riding early in the season no one has mentioned, and in my short experience (6 years or so) has been the...

    tobermory. RIDE or DRIVE

    When you guys talk about exiting Wiarton and turning right, did you follow 9 to Isthmus Bay Rd at Lionshead, over to Forty Hills Rd? Looks like a really fun section on Forty Hills, anyone know if it's paved?

    New Rider, First bike: Which one??? (Guide to choosing your first ride)

    Agreed!! Kijiji is also good for people selling used jackets... used gloves carry the risk of stinking to high hell, lol. But a helmet should probably be new-to-you for several reasons: 1 - helmets are designed for 1 crash only. 2 - Helmets are actually designed for 1 impact for the most part...

    2001 Ninja 500 $1500, 1987 Ninja 500 $1000

    Hello, been having a lot of medical issues that have kept me from working, and my hopes of keeping more than one bike (for now) have disappeared with my savings lol. Here's a link to a FB album that anyone, FB user or not, can see. Delivery available, price depending on range. Both bikes as is...

    New Rider, First bike: Which one??? (Guide to choosing your first ride)

    Buell's are definitely interesting bikes!! I know 4 people who own them and swear by them... but 3 of the 4 have been utterly confused or lost when wrenching on them, and the 4th is probably amongst the top 2% of wrenchers in the USA and makes a living fabricating custom parts lol. So get a...

    Hit a dog running away from his owner. How should I proceed?

    I agree with those telling you to gather info. Talk to your insurance company. Talk to the dog owner. Talk to the police/get the report (they may be able to provide some precedent with how these things proceed). Give the dog owner the benefit of doubt, make sure the pup was okay, then bring up...

    A 'frank' informative discussion about Pennsylvania relations?

    I've been down to PA 3 times over the past 5 years with an Asian couple, once with just the husband and another Asian friend of his. I've also been down with a group of rednecks lol. I didn't notice any difference in the way either group/trip was treated... I think, when it comes down to it, a...

    New Rider, First bike: Which one??? (Guide to choosing your first ride)

    R Revzilla just gave this bike a great sounding review, I was impressed with what the tester had to say. Never had ABS, so don't know how much you'd be missing without it.
