    Fun Route to Tobermory

    Thanks Cougra, I'll keep that in mind, sounds like a pretty good way to battle the fatigue.

    Fun Route to Tobermory

    Hey All, I'm going to be going camping with some friends up near Tobermory later this summer. Does anyone know of a good fun and/or scenic route, leaving from downtown toronto, going that way? I'm the only one riding up there, the rest of my friends are caging it out there, so I will either be...

    drunk idiots messing with my bike

    either the OP is a very weak person (unlikely since he managed to take onenof the guys to the ground) or the whole story is BS. If you had managed to land at least half the hits you claim to have landed, including the elbows, the guy you didn't hit would have been too busy bringing his buddy to...

    Woodbine beach parking lot

    You must have been blocking something. A normal parking ticket is $30 if you parked without a permit/outside of signed times. I've seen $60 for parking somewhere you nit supposed to (no stopping zones etc...) but $105!?! What does the ticket say? Also I wouldn't put it past a Parking Officer to...

    Best view of Downtown Toronto?

    The view from Riverdale Park is my personal favorite. It's nice if you want something other than the view from the island. It is better at night...

    Close call, lesson learned - Awareness and staying calm

    We should start a "Cager Wall of Shame" thread. Post as much detail (make, model, colour, plate) as you can about the cager that screwed you over, and maybe someone will see themselves on here and change their ways

    Sweet... I had no idea my CBR could do this.

    Either way that would be fun to ride

    Is being nervous on a bike normal? Or a sign to get off lol

    It's fine to be nervous, but try not to let it affect your riding. I bought my first bike this year (Rebel 250), and the first time I had ever been on a motorcycle was when i rode it home from the storage facility. I had a buddy follow behind me in his car to try to run defense for me (in case...

    How much is an exhaust fine?

    Are they even allowed to do that? Can they make you rev your engine, causing you to make noise, and then write you a ticket for excessive noise? Just because your bike is capable of making a lot noise when it is red-lining doesn't mean that you make it do that when you ride. I could have a...

    return on the E bikes...

    If it is propelled by anything other than human power and meant to be ridden on public roads it should require a drivers license and plate (these lead to accountability on the drivers behalf). There are way too many e-bikes on the road now. I can't even count the number of times I've seen them...

    Motorcyclecourse.com Review

    Yeah, I agree with some of the other posters that it sounds like your a little bitter about not passing. I just did my course with RTI this weekend. I ride a cruiser, but I spent the majority of the weekend on the sport bikes because, to be honest, I can ride a cruiser whenever I want and...

    RTI weekend...

    Trying out all the different bikes was a blast. I did enjoy giving the cbrs a shot, but I still prefer cruisers.

    Road debris or clothesline?

    I live right next to riverdale park and can confirm that people have been flying kites there over the past few days. I'm not sure about kite fighting though

    RTI Course May 28th & 29th

    Anyone doing their RTI M2 course this weekend (May 28th & 29th) in North York? Weather network says it might be a little damp, but they are never right, so maybe it will be sunny

    Hand Signals

    Ok, so far we have a bit of a list going, hopefully we can add a little more to it though. Here is what I've been able to compile so far; General Communication: 1) Left hand extended out + downwards with two fingers extended - Hello Warnings/Be On Alert For 1a) Pointing down to the left/right...

    Cager Dilema...

    If I were you I would just pay the ticket considering you shouldn't have been driving at all. If your information is correct, and your friend does have a G2 for 2 1/2 years, you could have been nailed for violating the conditions of your G1. I'm Not sure what the penalties for that are, but I'm...

    First Parking Ticket - is it even worth going to court?

    Always fight it. The very worst that could happen is you get called to court, and actually have to try and fight the ticket. If you go to the location on John Street (just south of King) as soon as it opens (8:30 i think) there is hardly any line and you will be out in a few min, then just wait...

    Helmet for rent around uptown?

    I'm doing the same one, I'll see you there. Also, i plan on just buying a cheap bucket (around $50) for the course, so i don't have to wear my full face for 8hrs. It's comfortable and all, but if it's hot and were pushing bikes around, i don't think i will enjoy the full coverage
