    Lucky that the rider didn't get overrun by the truck.

    Beginning my biking life in Canada

    I think I would buy the motorcycle next year or till I get a good deal. Most 2009 Ninja 250s are in the range of 3500-400. I think that can come down a bit. I'll keep an eye, maybe there will be one around winter. Coming to the points of insurance, I am only deferring the insurance to the...

    I don't understand the part that I wouldn't be paying premium over winter. Isn't insurance paid for the whole year? Thanks, I will check out locally and then see if I can order from US. By chance, do you know of any store in Niagara falls city, NY or Buffalo? I often go there. I think I read...

    Beginning my biking life in Canada

    I did a lot of thinking over my situation and here is what I think is the best route. The riding season is about to end in around 3 months. I still have to wait for 2 more months before I can give my M1 exit test. So, it does not makes any sense to buy a bike right now since it will be sitting...

    Beginning my biking life in Canada

    Well I didn't ask about the courses. None of my questions talk about courses. I asked about various other things. I appreciate people responding back. I know the insurance is going to be high. So, I am saving money for it by avoiding the course right now. I am not ignoring anyone's response...

    Thanks everyone for your thoughts. I really want to take a course but it is too costly for me right now. But, I will do one after getting M2 for sure. Also, till which month do you guys ride? I think till end of October?

    M1 exist course is somewhere between 400-500. I am planning to take a course later on after I get M2.

    Beginning my biking life in Canada

    Hi All, Yesterday I passed my M1 knowledge test. I know, I know...not a big deal but I am now eligible to ride a bike. :eek: I came to Canada 3 years ago and always wanted to ride here. Now, I am proceeding towards it slowly. I rode for 6 years in my home country, India. I am pretty...

    Point # 19. Keep the front brake covered--always Is this right? I recently read in a magazine that keeping your fingers off the brake actually increases your responsiveness. It's been a long time I have rode but I remember correctly, I keep my fingers off the front brake.

    Did everyone take the rider training course?

    Thanks a lot for your inputs. I definitely want to take a rider training course but it is the money that is an obstacle. It is not easy to dish out approx. $300-$400 bucks for every program. I would probably try to get M2 cleared with my experience. Will be saving money in the mean time and get...

    Did everyone take the rider training course?

    I see. I am just concerned about the test. I am not sure what they ask you to do in the test. Is there any reference?

    Did everyone take the rider training course?

    Hi All, As obvious from the subject line, I wanted to know if everyone went through the rider training program? Is it a requirement? Or a good measure to take before you start riding? What are your personal experiences and recommendations? I have 3 riding experience but not in Canada. I want to...
