    what to get?

    I started out on the 250 (this is my first full season) and it is a great bike for the city traffic. I got on the 401 yesterday and felt like I needed just a bit more power, like MacDoc said above, to feel truly comfortable. I think the heavier 500cc would give a more stable feeling. Also...

    Distillery District Parking

    I agree. Places like Montreal and Quebec City, and other places in Canada, have By-laws that in certain parts of the city the facade of the bldg must adhere to a strict appearance so as not to clash with the charm of the existing bldgs. I guess Toronto politicians do not care as long as there...

    I used steel toe boots during my course last year and even used them during all my outings in Nov 2012, as stated above, they have to cover the ankles. I picked up proper boots for this season.

    Have any or all of you felt this way

    I commuted yesterday for the first time this season. After coming home I went out with my kids in the car. It felt so sluggish and heavy. Now I ride a ninja 250 so it is not a powerhouse. Makes me wonder what riders on the SS' must feel.

    Looking for pant suggestions in the $200-$300 range...

    Based on that UK review of tires, i bought the Avon's, can't wait to install them and ride this season on them. I was a bit dubious at first because of the low price but regardless decided to take a chance; can't go wrong with front and rear tires for $240 cdn
