I just picked up a red 2013 the beginning of April for 4000 with a bunch of upgrade and stands included. Put about 900km on it so far. Its a solid bike, more than enough power for anything within the legal limits. Feels great for commuting, very smooth and linear powerband, and a lot more torque...

Doesn't it make sense to have incredibly high premiums on a bike that wasn't build for legal road use? I mean when are you ever legally riding the bike at half its potential on the street? It kinda makes sense that SS bikes are difficult to insure, you can't argue that you're not going to break...

A couple quick questions, I have a skateboarding event to go to next weekend in the town of Ithaca, New York. It'd be a day trip, so i'm thinking screw the gas guzzling car and take my cbr500. Its 350km one way. I'd be coming back late, its my first time riding over 200km in one go. Is...

Ill be completely honest. Yes i'm wearing gear (boots, gloves, jacket, and jeans) whenever i'm out riding for fun. If i'm sanely commuting on roads with a speed limit under 50kmph, ill just wear gloves and a helmet, the jacket is a personal choice. I've had my share of road rash, from racing...

He didn't want to but his boss/sergeant made him do it as a precaution.

I talked to my parents and they said the cop said he had no evidence and wouldn't fight it in court. I remember him being very sympathetic and not looking to nail me for careless, rather it was a mandatory ticket he had to issue. A paralegal is gonna cost around a grand. They have no evidence...

I probably cant afford a lawyer though, right?

Update: I'm back riding again, picked up a 2013 CBR500. Insurance rate is at 2800/year (an r3 with same power is 2200 wtf?). Nothing on my insurance record right now except a minor speeding ticket from last year. Still have to get this careless driving ticket dismissed though. Feels good to be...

Heres my situation: I was riding last September at night, and on a country road in a dark corner I hit some gravel and sand (from construction up the street) grabbed front brake and the bike stood up and I ended up in a ditch. I was in the hospital with pretty bad injuries, around the 2nd day...

1987 Honda CBR250R MC17 Hurricane (20k Redline, Japan Import), http://www.kijiji.ca/v-sport-bikes/oakville-halton-region/1987-honda-cbr250r-mc17-hurricane-20k-redline-japan-import/1154539853 Price: $*2200 What do you guys think of this one? Not much info available online. He upped his price...

I talked to my broker, double checked the if the quote factored in the accident. He said if you don't make a claim then the rate won't increase. So it seems like I lucked out with the whole insurance thing.

Yup, I was the one with the icon helmet and jacket.

I never made a claim, I was in contact with my broker while still in the hospital. I cancelled my coverage early and paid the left over money owed. Expecting a terrible rate I emailed him yesterday expecting bad news when I referenced my accident and those were the rates I was given. 2200/year...

I wear gear, don't get me wrong. I would always wear gear if the ride was over 20 minutes one way, or in speeds 80km+. I have a jacket, gloves and boots, all mid quality icon stuff. I never had an issue with traffic or other drivers either, I don't wanna brag but I have really good...

Because I somehow knew I was going to drop the first one once or twice? And grind gears and abuse it? Theres not a huge power difference, it ain't no 600.

Not much, shorts and a tshirt? I know I should be riding with all the gear all the time blah blah blah, I was cruising around to a buddies house though, you know? Gear wouldn't have done anything though, unless I had extremely good padding on the side of my leg. It was the right handlebar that...

Hey guys, its been a while since i've posted on here (even then I really lurked). It's nearing winter so ill be lucky if I get a reply or two. So to start, i'd like to share my experience with a near death experience, and have some of you guys chime in on what you think is in my best interest...

I saw a ninja 500 laying on the ground in toronto yesterday, in alleyway parking. Would you guys risk picking it up? Or just act like you never saw it?
