    Wr250r owners?

    Long story with the YZ450, or more of a short story, either way its setup for mx track. Optimally I want both yz450 and wr250r, WRR for me on certain weekends to ride to Ganny, and WRR for my non bike friends to borrow for MX track days.

    Wr250r owners?

    I would like to meet one and, if possible do a quick bike swap. If anyone has one and is interested please drop me a line. I'm looking to shed some weight and lose the Honda Varadero and goto a wr250r and spend more time in the Ganaraska forest. Varadero is a okay bike, great legs on it and will...

    MX rider new to GTA

    I was at gopher dunes twice much earlier in the season. Is that new track open now? I couldn't stand the sandy track although I did enjoy the trails. I live in Burlington and Gopher dunes is just under 90 minutes from my front door. Motopark takes me exactly 2 hours to get to without stopping. I...

    Dacre Challenge - 750km's Offroad - One Day!!! June 22-24

    I would of loved to do this. I originally planned on doing it when I had a drz400 but my team fell through. Oh well there's always 2014 I suppose. I considered buying a wr250r to do this race with.

    MX rider new to GTA

    My opinion is that it will seem a lot harder than what you were use to in New Brunswick given the circumstance you have explained. In my opinion the GTA is not very dirt bike friendly. That being said there are those of us who percivier and ride on despite these odds. Do you have tools/truck or...

    Thinking of getting into dirt

    Lol, I guess your right, that was a bit silly of me!?!? I do feel that the Suzuki of Newmarket and now Brampton, approach to selling bikes, does hurt the industry a little bit. Ross Rocher is definitely a smaller scale. I just feel sorry for guys who wind up in a pinch and have to sell there 1...

    Thinking of getting into dirt

    I'm in the same boat as you, except I've ridden and owned 250 2 stroke mx bikes. I'm currently looking at getting the KTM 300XC or XC-W, they will run you about $10,200-10,800 brand new out the door. I've checked prices at Apex in Waterloo and GP in Whitby, just waiting for enough funds to...

    Held gloves, boots and Oakville Yamaha

    The only thing I didn't like about the sales staff there, is that they were absolutely clueless when it comes to atv's / dirtbikes. Guy told me that the stock they have in is all they will ever get. They are going to be strictly a road oriented motorcycle store. I can't blame him too much for...

    KTM Demo ride day, May 4th

    I put my name in for this yesterday. I just emailed chad@apexcycle.ca and he responded saying that my name is on the list and he will be sending out registration forms soon. I'm pumped for this, I so hope they have a xc300 there to test ride. For you guys out near Whitby, should probably contact...

    Does anyone have experience with The Economical Insurance Group Waterloo?

    Well that makes sense, it's possible that there isn't very much data on a corolla xrs, like you said at 160hp it's not very sporty. It does have the silly spoiler and skirts on it which would make it more expensive to replace / repair. Another point of the car is that it's a bit of a rarity...

    Does anyone have experience with The Economical Insurance Group Waterloo?

    Both cars are in my name. Both my wife and I have never been in any accidents or received any tickets. I have 500 deductible on both cars, 1 mill liability on both. Audi is for 15km one way to work, and the corolla is 25km. I just phoned my Statefarm representitive to cancel. They told me that...

    Does anyone have experience with The Economical Insurance Group Waterloo?

    It is a big premium difference. Both cars are in my name and just myself and my wife drive them. We both have immaculate driving records. At first I thought it was high because its the sport version of the corolla with the bigger engine in it. The one thing I don't like about state farm is that...

    Brampton Area - Spots?

    That's a crappy area, all rutted and washed out. The city had plans to purpose the area for enviromental trails and stuff like that but nothing has been done about it so far. There is plenty of signage that tells you not to be there. Unfrotunately if you live in Brampton you are probably going...

    Does anyone have experience with The Economical Insurance Group Waterloo?

    I just got a quote from them and it was really good! I am currently with statefarm, and by switching to the Economical Waterloo I will save over $1000 on car insurance alone. My only concern is how reliable of a company they are for making claims and emergency cases. I have: 2006 Audi A4 2.0...

    Varadero vs VSTROM

    I bought the Varadero. Overall I felt It was my best choice, test rode a lot of bikes. I bought mine from Dewildt Honda $11,500 out the door on a 2008 model. So far I have 500km on it and enjoy it a lot. I plan on spending a few thousand in upgrades just waiting for the money tree to regrow.

    Varadero vs VSTROM

    Thanks for the insight Oomis. I know what you mean about SS power, there really is no substitute for it. I took a Varadero for a test ride today and it was rather enjoyable. Very smooth comfortable bike. It was a bit heavy when you put your foot down at the lights. I'm 6" and 180 lbs and found...
