Spinal protection/injuries Hey guys. I'm wondering what you think the absolute minimal, lightest protection for the spine would be? I wouldn't want one of those superhard huge vests, so is there something that's a little less imposing that might provide at least some cursory protection for the...

dont snicker too much about it... Once I learned that "el cockblock" was intended to be pronounced as "el co-block" (I.e. As in the same way "Bruce Cockburn" is pronounced)...well it just wasn't as funny any more

Just do it and don't ask for permission unless they say anything. Many condos do you have the one vehicle per spot rule, but if they're going to enforce it for you, they're going to have to enforce it for everybody, and there may be more than just you who puts a car and bike in one spot in the...

As a prospective and hopeful new rider, I looked at the Suzuki hard. Love the look of the Suzuki 250 but reviews said it just isn't nimble enough. Love that It has a numerical display for which gear you're in. But the sluggishness was a dealbreaker for me, I hope to take passengers, and it seems...

Stunned here about the apparent circumstances. No one is safe I guess.

wow... And that turn on the 403 is what I would have thought was an easy turn, it's not that sharp an angle... now I am seriously thinking about this... Wow... If it is that hard to get those turns right... It really seems like a gamble

It's funny you mention the bicycle because that was gonna be my next post. I actually ride a bicycle almost every day, several times a day downtown and have been for pretty much my whole adult life. Never an issue with cars. Only issue was once my own stupidity when I was young, after a drink...

Nice bike. Parking ain't cheap either DT eh? New downtown rider here too, hoping I can find a nearby parking lot to practice in, if you think of one lemme kno k buddy? BTW Where do you work out bro?

Vsnlweb, just go get that M1 ASAP and then figure out your next step later. It's only $20 bucks. But that's what I struggled with...I actually intended to get it in 2012, and now look where I am. I could have had my full M by now. i was pretty nervous about the M1, passing the test and having...

Just wanted to say, I'm struggling hard with this too and I know the safety course will help me a lot. But is there some people that do a course, pass the test, but still, just don't get it? I'm afraid I might end up one of those. i am super fearful of these left turn crashes and I'm telling...

Guys, It goes both ways too, it's not just sellers that get the shaft. As I told my recent story in other posts: I had a deposit down, with arrangements made for safetying and payment, all agreed, spent a day negotiating, and then after it was all said and done, I get a text: "sorry, I'm...

Guys, am I being too picky on my choice for a first bike? Obviously if money was no factor, one could buy anything. There are plenty of black CBR250s at reasonable prices online and they're not selling. I just can't stand that tacky plasticky grey trim on parts of the body. As a n00b, how hard...

Does anyone know if dealers are ever flexible on price on new bikes or are they pretty much set? really liking the white Honda CB300FA...if I cant find what I want in the resale market, I might just pay a little more and bite the bullet. HB the motorcycle show this weekend? What are the...

Love the picture of the scooter. That's hilarious. yeah, so there's a guy selling a 2013 250 for $4700 on Kijiji. But you won't find it if you search repsol, because he spelled it "rapsol"...which brings me to another weird thing I have noticed... The kind of English some of these sellers have...

I am considering a Honda Repsol edition for my first bike. Not because I particularly like it, it just might end up being all that I could find in the price/model I want. What's the general opinion of these in the motorcycling community? Cool to some, but tacky to most? Or are they considered...

Cbr250 - $4800? Guys, Do you think this CBR250 is overpriced, or can he justify $4800 because its fenderless and has an upgraded exhaust pipe? http://www.kijiji.ca/v-sport-bikes/hamilton/amazing-starter-bike/1034354394 Its just that, the new CBRs (300, without ABS) go for less at the...

Re: CBR250s Good point... but I am not waiting till next year to buy a ride. LOL.

Sons a biotches! Sorry for your hassle. what typically happens in a situation like this? What would the insurance payout be? I'm guessing you'd have to pay the all perils deductible too rite? I think the company I am going with has a $300 all perils, it's a few dollars more expensive, but given...

Re: CBR250s no I know but I understand its best to draw up appropriate paperwork between seller and buyer to prove it if asked by the government. best to pay in cash too IMO, just to make sure everything is tracked appropriately.

Re: CBR250s Ya don't care about mods at this point, in fact, don't wannem, I am just learning to ride, and plus insurance asks me if there r mods done, so I don't even wanna go there. Every bike I have inquired about...if it has a modded exhaust..I ask them to put the stock back before...
