    So called upgrades, Why Bother?

    I'm one that also thinks that original is better as well. Being a newbie that is still shopping for his first bike, I am finding it extremely difficult to locate a used example that is 100% original. Most of the ones I'm looking at have some sort of modification done to them, and their asking...

    M1 test

    Those are logic questions that test the application of the knowledge you learned from reading the handbook. If you understand the content inside-out then those questions should be fairly straightforward since they follow a similar pattern of reasoning.

    Picking up gear today!

    If you are looking to save a bit of money then go rent all that at Studio Cycle Gear. They rent out entire packages. Might be a wiser choice than dropping all that cash on gear that might not match your motorcycle in the future. http://www.humber.ca/motorcycle/studiogearrental.pdf

    Are you still looking for Under Armour?

    Nike Dri-Fit or whatever is comparable from Reebok or Adidas will work equally as well at a cheaper pricing point. Check out Si Vous Play Sports outlets (www.svpsports.ca) and browse around their stores in person. You'll definitely find some good deals on moisture wicking athletic wear.

    Need help with flush mounts & lowering my 636

    I have read that lowering a bike will adversely affect its handling ability. Unless you have problems flat footing I would try to avoid it entirely if possible. There are other options like shaving the stock seat or getting a lower profile aftermarket one.

    Gear Rentals??

    Basically. They need a credit card authorization for a preset amount in addition to the rental fee as collateral in case there is any damage. Same thing they do with typical power tool rentals at big box hardware stores. It saved me quite a lot of time and money renting my lid for a safety...

    Centennial College M2 course September long weekend

    I took my course at Centennial back during the first week of August. I absolutely loved it! The instructors were great. Very supportive, super helpful and very patient with my learning curve. I've never been on a motorcycle prior to attending the class and I had no problems passing the M1X test...

    Leather gloves got wet and now are hard and shrunk???

    I was recommended the Fiebings Aussie Leather Conditioner by a member here which I used on my leather boots and it worked wonders in helping the leather stretch out and recondition the dry parts. If your gloves are smooth leather then it should do quite well. A little goes a long way.

    Durham College M2 Course

    Yeah she was like 5 feet tops riding a CBR125R so that might have played a factor. They had a few Virago 250s there as well, although I think they might have been all taken. I saw that her handlebars weren't straightened out when she came to a complete stop so the bikes weight naturally leaned...

    Durham College M2 Course

    That exact same thing happened to someone in my class as well. It was quite painful to watch since I was next in line to start my test right after watching her drop the bike a few feet away in front of me. I had the chance to have a heart-to-heart chat with her afterwards and she said it was...

    Gear Rentals??

    Studio Cycle Group on Dundas St. West a little west of Keele, south side. I rented my helmet for my safety course at Centennial College from them recently. They do rent out jackets and gloves too. I think the package should be something like $75 for the weekend.
