    Hitch mounted dirt bike question....

    Just wondering who is running a setup where they mount their full size mx'er onto the back of their vehicle via a class 3 or higher trailer hitch. I am currently without a vehicle that has a hitch and no longer own a trailer. I currently own a brand new Mazda CX-5 which is based off of the Mazda...

    Is this road do able with a DR650 with Distanzia tires? NOOOOOO!!!

    I was down that road this time last year on a WR250R. I've been down it before on 4 wheelers and a YZ250. It's gotten real bad in the last 10 years, before that it was a fun little area to go but not very big at all, you're not missing much by not making it to the end of the road. Some of those...

    Petition for Welland East Side Trail

    Signed. The canal may not be the greatest place to ride your bike but it's still nice to walk around the area, would be a shame to see condo's put up there.

    Need to fix 2010 Harley Sportster 1200

    Thanks guys, lot of good info here. I'll pass it along, friend lives in Brampton. I don't know the name of the shop, but I know there's a Harley guy in Georgetown somewhere, I know it's West of Winston Churchill, and slightly north of Steeles on one of the side roads, I wonder if he's any good...

    Need to fix 2010 Harley Sportster 1200

    I was out riding with my friend yesterday and he went down on a corner, he gave it gas and hit a patch of gravel and his bike went down on its left side. As a result of the crash, the left side foot peg dug into the silver plate on the crankcase, punching a hole into it. The handlebar and looks...

    question about motoparkracing trails

    I just recently joined Steel City Riders, and am really looking forward to it this year. I prefer gopher dunes trails over its track and with motopark I prefer the track over the trails, that's probably more because of my skill level being not very good. FYI: If you plan on joining steel city...

    What do you guys recommend?.

    Well if there is no limit to what you are willing to spend, then go buy yourself a nice KTM 250/350/450 exc or sx. I personally would like a KTM 300xc. If you got the money buy a bike for me too and I'll go riding with ya!

    Who pay taxes when you trade a bike with another seller?

    That's what I figured. So if two parties get together and swap bikes but only one of them pays a little in the transaction both parties have to pay some sort of tax when they go to register it. The only saving grace I suppose is that you can almost make up the dollar amount when you tell the MTO...

    Who pay taxes when you trade a bike with another seller?

    Just curious on this one if someone could clarify this situation for me. When you trade in a bike to the dealer ship, so let's say bike A (worth $5000) and you want to buy bike B (worth $10,000) you trade in bike A and pay $5000 in taxes for acquiring bike B. How does this work if it's a...

    Thoughts on this bike?

    That all depends. I've always insured my bikes with state farm. I always bring the bike to them and the nice lady comes out and takes a picture of the bike and then puts it on their file. From there I can go and do whatever the hell I want to the bike and for the most part no one is any the...

    Places to ride around the Niagara Region

    The canal can be strictly dirt, except you are suppost to have a green off road licence plate as well as insurance for your vehicle. Also I don't think ATV's are allowed.

    MOTOCROSS Thread Hosted by SCR member

    I am seriously considering joining for next year, or over the winter. Biggest thing that always keeps me from doing races and getting more involved with the off road community is that I work shift work and at least 50% of the weekends which is just killer if you are into this sport of motocross.

    2012 KTM 690 smc r

    Parker Bros isn't a dealer anymore, just a parts source. Your best bet is GP bikes in Whitby. Or APEX cycle in Waterloo. Both are big KTM dealers, I believe GP will be the cheaper choice as in you will save maybe 100-200$ more off the overall purchase of a bike brand new vs APEX. I find APEX to...

    Fishing Charges?!?! anyone have any experience?!

    Does anyone know the reason why they got a provincial summons as well as a Form 9 Appearance Notice? I see it's the same court house and two different charges, were they not able to write out all the charges on a provincial summons or not able to write out all the charges on the Appearance Notice?

    New Toy!

    Purchased a 2012 wr250r not too long ago. Here's some pics. I'm excited to start modding this bike out. I've already picked up full FMF pipe and fuel programmer. I used to own a DRZ400sm and I find the WRR to be more nimble. Can't really notice too much of a power difference, even if the WRR is...
