    Renew or Not-Renew

    This is very true, if you don't sell the bike, cancel your insurance, then reinsure, they may assume you have been riding uninsured and you will pay accordingly. Because that's what too many people are actually doing, cancelling after they get an insurance slip.

    KTM RC390 Leaked to world...from Canada!

    I often don't have any choice from what country a product comes from when making a purchase. But I'll be damned if I ever buy a motorcycle made in India. They are taking all our IT jobs, so they won't get my money.

    Best dual sport or something along those lines?

    I had a DRZ400s and I found it to be a mediocre street bike and trail bike. Not having a 6th really hurts the bike. If you gear it down for the woods, it really limits the top end on the road. its also very top heavy and the seat is one of the worst on any bike ever.

    supersport buying

    I only ever buy mint, low mileage bikes when I buy used, but I am patient. Lots of people buy brand new bikes and never ride them. Lots of good deals out there if you take your time.

    advice for a potential newbie...

    One thing to keep in mind is seat height. Both the DRZ400 and WR250 are very tall bikes. It may seem ok sitting on it or riding on the road, get off road and if you just learning, it's a long way to fall.

    can you tell me what bike this is?

    Unless you plan to ride Simcoe Forest, OFTR doesn't provide that much access to green plate trails. i personally don't see the point in joining as I don't ride there. Do your homework before you buy a family pass if you are on a budget.

    What pickup truck do you use?

    I cannot see how a full size gasoline pickup can attain 36 mpg. I have a 2007 Yaris with low kilometres and it gets around 36 mpg, with a 1.5 litre engine, it's a standard, I don't drive hard or fast. I did several mileage checks manually to get that figure. I have heard those ads by dodge, I...

    What pickup truck do you use?

    I have a 2011 F150. The bed height is so high, I bought a trailer for my atv and DR650. The atv isn't bad to load, its 4wd, the DR650 forget it, I did get it in the box once, I had to find a ditch in my neighbourhood to back the back wheels into. No way I could walk the bike down, I have a a...

    KTM RC390 Leaked to world...from Canada!

    This bike is made in India. So there is no reason why it shouldn't be cheap. But I doubt it will be as reliable as a Japanese bike.

    heres the names of councilors that voted to end our free parking

    If you don't like it, you can call the Fords on Sunday afternoon on CFRB when they do their propaganda show. Rob has been claiming he has already saved the city a billion dollars, a few bucks from motorcycle parking shouldn't be needed.

    Do you have a fuel efficient bike?

    I have always been curious as to why BMW cars and bikes are required to run on premium? They have way more electronics than most vehicles, I'd expect that they are capable of retarding the ignition when the engine knocks. Not knocking BMW's, it's just that pretty much every other bike and car...

    Where to buy Corbin seat and footpeg lic. plate mount

    This is an option, they aren't cheap. http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/two-piece-vintage-wide-touring-seat-yamaha-stryker/part/M-76661 might as well buy a seat from the manufacturer, anyone else will just order from them and resell it. Maybe the price will be the same, but it's going to take...

    Cleaning and detailing

    Zep orange is too strong to be used on a bike, it will dull paint and take the shine off bare metal surfaces. Its a good degreaser, but be very carefull where you spray it.

    Using the 407 for free

    I drop the tail gate on my pickup, that blocks the plate. However people have been charged with that for having an unsafe load. So make sure anything is tied down or the box is empty. if I am towing a trailer, that usually blocks the truck plate, the trailer plate is under the trailer and that...
