    City of Toronto HOV (DIamond) Lanes open for Motorcycles & Scooters.

    I really wish they would open up the lanes on Bay St. to bikes. I hate riding down from Bloor (to Dundas), minding the law while some a**hat flies down in his Acura/MB/BMW SUV to skip ahead a few cars.

    Guy does a wheelie at the wrong time

    Saw a guy a few weeks back on a Gixxer riding squid in shorts and a tshirt. Pulls up next to a carload of girls in a convertible at a light on Lakeshore. Light turns green and he pulls a wheelie. As "cool" as he may have thought that made him look, it probably didn't make up for the fact that...

    Recco a backpack?

    Got the same bag last week and couldn't be happier. Think I paid $79.99 at Riders Choice. Lot's of different compartments (great for separating gym clothes, cell phone, etc). Ironically, just as I got there, a younger kid was leaving saying something like "I can get this cheaper elsewhere"...

    jacket size

    I bought a Joe Rocket textile jacket and the best fitting one was marked 2 sizes larger than the size I normally wear. Ironically, the Joe Rocket helmet was only an XL and it fit perfect, but other brands I was looking at 2XL.

    Riding behind a cattle truck !

    Had the complete opposite experience last night. Was following behind some young kid smoking a joint in basically stop and go traffic. Smelled great, but kept my distance. Funniest part was he had a big german sheppard in the car who apparently wasn't down with hotboxing so it had it's head...

    So I think I'm ready to buy

    Well if you were looking at the 2005 GS500F for sale in Newmarket for $3800..I beat ya to it! I used to ride in my late teens, early 20s, and then after 15+ years, decided to get back into it again when a friend thought she'd get a bike too. I find it's the perfect bike for getting back into...
