Welcome and be careful what you learn.

Buying gear in Canada is way too expensive. Order online from USA. Especially since we are above par.

If you ride a scooter, wouldn't you have a limited M2?

If you buy a 125/250 you won't have any (big) problems with the clutch. OP is having problems because they ride a bigger bike. Those smaller bikes are a lot more noob friendly.

He sounds just as sharp as he looks.

Glad to hear you avoided the crash.

Re: Bike stands 101 (illustrated) http://www.kapscomoto.com/Lift-Stands/Honda-c649/ Located in Pickering. Their "sale" prices has been known to go lower.

When I did my course at Learning Curves they were available for the next weekend.

Check NCK. Don't know much about them but stumbled across their website as they were listing a bike for sale on Kijiji. Needless to say after I realized they were a salvage shop I realized why the bike was so cheap. http://www.nckcycle.com/

Re: ATGATT - A poll, more or less What if someone only owns a helmet? Technically they are wearing AGATT and squiding. :lol:

I got my bike about a year after I did my course. I don't think I forgot much if anything, but as always you need to practice to hone your skills. You shouldn't worry at all about the time between doing your course and your first bike. It's not like the only learning you do is at the course...

My mesh jacket doesn't flow as much air as I thought it should. But yeah I was out in full gear. Didn't see anyone but squids either.

You're friend is an idiot. Get better friends.

I feel like I'm in a support group. "Thanks for sharing!" Newbie here, haven't crashed yet. Knock on wood. Almost rode into a curb taking a corner too fast on my first day but Keith Code saved me. I didn't panic and I looked down the road.

I did my course with an ordinary leather jacket and gloves and boots from when I worked construction. Oh and my helmet didn't have a visor. I was super cool. :cool:

That's weird, how can they not give you a quote? They don't have to print it, if they give you a quote it's saved in their system. It might also have a reference number. Not many people sell bikes in the winter. It's easier to buy a bike in the fall (less buyers) but I don't think you will...

Congrats (again).

Sucks that you dropped it, but be happy that is the extent of the damage.

Yes it does mean that. Following break in sucks but you should still do it.

There are other boards that discuss things like that. A rider crashing or dropping his bike in the GTA isn't much different from other places in the world.
