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

    My $0.02: I had never ridden a bike or sled or anything before I did my course to get my M2 5 years ago. Best decision I could have made was doing the course before riding. Going in I was dead set on a cruiser type of bike... coming out I knew I had to get a sport bike lol. You get to try...

    What Are You Currently Listening To?

    For spring riding I like The Glitch Mob, Massive Attack, White Lies, Beast, SBTRKT. Chill, upbeat yet mellow stuff, something to cruise around to and enjoy the warming weather, nothing too intense. But definitely check these guys out, don't know how to describe them: (The album is called The...

    Help me plan for NFLD

    No advice on the route there or back (but will follow this thread as it's something I've been thinking about the past couple years.... maybe I'll stalk you out there :p) but once there, a night or several in Gros Morne National park should be on your list. Absolutely gorgeous. One of the few...

    Potential new rider from Peel Region

    Congrats, and good luck! I held off buying my first bike until after I had take my M2 Entry course with RTI, and I'm glad I did. You get to try several different styles of bike.

    Cop traps on Forks/Belfountain area

    Au contraire, I live 2 minutes from the Forks, and I rarely see them there. However, I also don't ride there on weekends when you've got all the treegazers. Today I was driving home from Orangeville and took the scenic route when I saw the cops.

    Cop traps on Forks/Belfountain area

    Just a heads up the traffic is as expected on a fall weekend, but I passed 2 cop cars cruising and also what appeared to be 2 speed traps along the Forks of the Credit. One right at the hairpin turn, sitting beside the train tracks, and the other not far away at the bottom of the hill south/east...

    Stormcat outed you! You're close and apparently like working on bikes, so figured I'd throw a friend request at you. I'm really getting interested in working on the 2000 ex500 I just bought, but am very new to riding (first bike) and know next to nothing about mechanics, lol. Anyway, I live near...

    Handles

    Me - Captain Hammer: Girls at work started calling me this, it relates to a movie with Neil Patrick Harris and apparently my humour reminds them of the humour Cap Hammer uses in the movie. I wish it was something cooler, like the fact they think I'm rock solid, tougher than nails, I "hammer" a...

    **FREE SERVICE MANUALS FOR TONS OF BIKES!-updated July 20**

    Read through this thread and saw a lot of other people looking for the 2nd gen ninja 500 manuals. Any success? I've got a 2000 Ninja EX500R that's leaking coolant and I have no money to fix at a garage. Called a local shop and they said the manual would cost me about $50, and they have to order...
