Something like this would be a lot easier to live with, and still haul *** when you need it to. http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-motorcycles-sport-touring-1997-Yamaha-YZF-W0QQAdIdZ384488012

I know what you mean, I have a tricky back as well. I prefer the Sport touring, Sport, or even Dual Sport style riding positions. The best thing about ST and SS is that you can really grip the bike with your legs. Lock your heels into the heel plates, squeeze the tank with your knees, and...

On a bike with a Slipper clutch, you don't need to blip when down shifting. Without it, I always try to. For HT in a car, it really depends on the car. As mentioned above, Subaru's are setup for this type of driving, it's very easy to do in my WRX. My Volkswagen was not nearly as easy! It...

Well if you're switching, they're going to get it either way. They do a drivers abstract before they quote you.

Take the 1550 for the year, shop again at renewal time. I went with Jevco for my first year, and switched to State Farm for my second year.

Please, before you buy a motorcycle, just purchase decent gear and a DOT helmet, and take the Gearing Up, or Learning Curves, or any other motorcycle specific training course before buying a bike. They will allow you to ride a variety of different styles of bikes and teach you many essential skills.

There is a Canadian company, FX Star, makes good street wear as well. It's moderately priced in comparison to the bigger brands, but still has all the features and looks great. I wore one for the last 2 years, CE approved armor in all the right spots, good zippers, and removable liners and...

There are other older sport bikes available, as well as tons of other options. I saw a Zephyr on there, some nice Honda's, even a Ninja 400. You just gotta be willing to be different!!

Why buy a 250 when you can get a 400? http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-motorcycles-sport-bikes-1990-FZR-R-400-W0QQAdIdZ382907171

Do some shopping around check out the various beginner bikes, and get some insurance quotes before you pull the trigger on that Ninja 250. The reason I say so, is that although the Ninja 250 is the PERFECT beginner bike, it's also one of the most commonly claimed against and people who buy them...

When I was in my 20's, I worked in a bar in CabbageTown. One night we had a Johnny Cash impersonator, who's dayjob was a uniform with the 52 division. We had about a dozen off duty cops in the place, which doesn't sound bad, but they were all completely wasted. One cop kept going into the...

The IS-16 is a pretty decent helmet, I wear one and find it comfortable enough, and not too hot in all but +30C weather.

Great condition, I hope you don't have any spills on it. Would be a shame! My first bike was a ninja.. 750. I don't recommend this route!!

Marriage is a great way to ruin your life, accumulate monumental debts, shorten your lifespan, and guarantee crippling financial dues should you ever have the gracious release that is divorce. Or, you can date college girls, ride motorcycles, go on vacations, and frankly do what ever the ****...

Old but still awesome :) I used a variation of that quote the other day talking my friend into getting back into riding lmao

someone bring a cage with a BBQ in the trunk, and buy a bunch of bbq food and bottled water from price choppers, hold onto that receipt! Rather than selling it, just take up donations from anyone that wants stuff, and put it back into the make nice with the grocery store/propane fund. Win/Win!

In the gearing up safety course they teach you to always use the kill switch to turn off the bike. The first thing i do when i hop on mine is flip it to "run".

No problem! Katana's, Bandits, there are lots of bikes that would have you grinning ear to ear. And the 500's are pretty sweet, coming from a 250, I'm sure a nice 500 ninja or a GSF something like that would actually be perfect, especially to get those rpm's lower at highway speed, and give you...

Congrats on the new ride man! Take it easy, learn how to panic stop the bike, and practice practice practice. It should become second nature to just squeeze both brakes and bring her to a stop. Also good to practice the swerve or weave, so you can go around sudden obstacles with minimal effort...
