I was hoping that I only needed to borrow my buddy's trailer for one day, but it looks like I have to borrow it twice (and his car... my car say no towing in the manual). Unlike you I'm not going to push it for 4KM! I'm also looking at the Street Triple R and your number is a bit off with the...

Quick question... so when you get the bike to the border and do all the paperwork, can you just drive up to the closest Canadian Tire and do a RIV Inspection right there? EDIT: Nevermind... I figured it out.

I got lucky... the weekend before, I took the RTI M2X. I volunteered to go last in the testing as I lived so close. I wanted to go home, grab some food and be ready. While I was home the downpour happened. The first guy tested finished before the rain, but the next two guys were soaked. I...

I got this one. I find it works very well. I some people complain about the magnets, but I found that they don't shift at all... even on the highway. It take a little time to convert the tank bag to a back pack and strap your helmet to it, but overall it's effective. The bag is thin yet...

So I geeked out and went to the FanExpo. I ran into the Universal Designs booth. Looking up close the leather is really thick and has armour. It looks like good quality gear (except the storm trooper helmets). Personally, I wouldn't get any, but they look cool. Here are some pics from my...

Saw someone in an all black Triumph Street Triple while stuck in traffic westbound Lakeshore near the Jamison on ramp. That bike looks so nice... one day I'll have one of my own!

I finished my M2X with RTI over the weekend. My instructor was really good and friendly. The other instructor handling the low speed M2X class (they combined 4 M2X groups for the in-class) was really annoying and treated everyone like 5 year olds. Back when I did my M1X with RTI, I had 4...

Congrats! You'll love the GS500. I rode it for the past 2 years and learned a lot. It's a very forgiving bike for noobs, yet has pretty good power when you need it.

Too many examples... I went to UofW, work with numbers and data, play lots of FPS on PS3, going to the FanExpo this weekend, etc.

Congrats! I passed mine too today... One of the guys here on GTAM did his yesterday and the instructor told me they all passed (RTI M2X). Being the last one tested, I can say all the riders passed today too! :D

got to 51m... stupid hurdle

As a kid... Wreck-Gar (10 internet points for anyone who knows what I'm talking about without Googling it). That's the earliest memory I got about wanting a motorcycle.

I'm buying now... but it's a 2012 bike.

That's EXACTLY what happened to me the first time I rode on my bike after my beginner's course. Some here flamed me for being a beginner on a busy road, but seeing that I live at the intersection of 3 busy roads, I didn't have much of a choice.

$800 is a great quote! I got a quote for just a little over $900... I'm in my 30s, but with only 2 years under my belt, no discount plans, no other things insured by them, living in Toronto, picking up the 2012 Street Triple R model... etc, it's probably as good as it's going to get for me.

...when you bang your hand on your driver side window trying to wave at a fellow motorcyclist.

It's not just about seeing... some people are just jerks! Last week riding to work I was on the left lane going north on Bay (commute to work)... A taxi passes me on the left side (with half the taxi crossing the yellow barrier) and then cuts in front of me! I pull up to the taxi and tap on his...

Don't forget Sloppy Joe's for wings! (Though I've been known to be "sloppy" while eating, I have no relation to the place :D)

Apache is terrible. They survive on reputation of years long past. And Parker Brothers is still pretty much the same distance away as their old location... just down a different road. Some people get turned off by the pork in the burgers... Half my friends love this place and the other...

Hey will you guys stop recommending the Street Triple? I'm trying to get a good price for this bike and I don't need the added competition! :p BTW, I don't want to say it, but... the Street Triple will be about 10 to 15% more on insurance than my GS500F. The bike is not black listed.
