Maybe look at a casual, half day session, on your own bike, in your own gear to brush up on basics and get some confidence back that a motorcycle can do way more than you ask. "Surviving the Streets" is even less ominous than it sounds. Actually I was expecting to be challenged more and...

Since you mentioned HB Cycle, near Lindsay... I used to drive by an old clapboard farm house on Pigeon Lake Rd. east out of Lindsay and they had a Halloween spider about 4 feet from leg tip to leg tip. It was positioned just perfectly on the wall like it was about to go into the second story...

It's a 1986 Yamaha FJ1200. Quite a bit bigger than a CBR300. Regardless, I hope he comes out of it OK.

Sh!# - good come back. I felt like saying something in response too. Look bright eyes, we're all wired differently. I'll give a personal example - had live rounds zipping between my feet, didn't scare me, just ****** me off. I could see the grass by my boots moving like snakes were racing by...

Nope. A more obvious tool for getting attention: "blue Suzuki" LOL. July 10 2017 news: https://www.orangeville.com/news-story/7416287-motorcyclist-charged-with-stunt-driving-on-forks-of-the-credit-road/

A guy from Keswick got nailed big time at Forks of the Credit earlier this month, doing 135 km/h in the 50 km/h area. Don't be that guy.

If you can afford thinking of Dainese then I probably can't help. However if the budget goes lower, I'm into my third season with what I think is a house brand at Royal - "184" - because I can't find a mention of it anywhere online. They cost maybe $120 at the time. Full gauntlet, wrist cuff...

That's a shame. You should try again. My only time was at least 30 years ago and I still remember the details. Very different sensations and responses compared to a Cessna 150 for example (they gave us some time with the controls, geez do they turn quickly with no effort). I only had the one...

You mean south, like to Rattlesnake Point? LOL. The other "that's it?" hairpin of doom.

This should be a primo year to do Cape Breton. Last year was the biggest overhaul of resurfacing and re-engineering parts of the Cabot Trail in ages. I'd be envious of someone going this year because I went last July when a lot of it was chewed up by heavy equipment at work. I went solo and I...

Ryan is slowly growing on me. Last year I first saw him and thought, WTF? But at least he's just being himself. BTW, Anthony at Revzilla will take the ribbing with a smile. I commented to him respectfully to maybe, possibly think about, etc. slowing it down so I could at least make out half of...

I've been riding 13 years, I'm on in years and can honestly say I have not met any two women riders I could lump into the same pigeon hole - in any respect of body type, age, bike, clothing, intensity of interest, etc. etc.

I think you're just missing the back strap that typically gets routed in a loop from those two buckles on the right of your photo, under the back tip of the gas tank, routed forward of what ever is keeping the rear of the tank secure to the frame (eg. bolt). You can remove the bag and leave the...

Excellent choice. I used an 18" long version of that to get at car filters via reaching in past the tire and wheel well. Leverage and reach in one. Then you have a big friggin set of pliers for the other odd jobs the rest of the time. I've actually had filters rip apart and still stay threaded...

I don't chime in very often, but since the OP was mentioning multi day touring, I can say I'm incredibly impressed with the helmet I got at the April bike show, a Scorpion EXO-R2000. I had a Shoei TZ-R for many years that was comfortable - for me - out of the box, and I was having a hard time...

Depending on how much of the construction they get completed this year, especially the western side, and you'd be in to good fresh roads on the Cabot Trail in 2017. I did it in August and it was extensive work, not just new asphalt.

When and where is the final production available to view?

I don't see taking semis off the road for rush hour as being helpful when I can't even tell when rush hour starts and stops anymore. What's the window of time for rush hour in the GTA now - 4 or 5 hours? Twice a day? No trucks allowed to go about their business (everyone's business). I commuted...

I love how the news headlines will lead with "Truck involved in serious accident . . . " Always implying at the start that the truck driver was at fault. I've sat shotgun hitch hiking in enough transports to see the *** hat things drivers of cars do from a balcony seat, if seeing it from your...

I have a saying for myself when I overlook something that obvious "If that's the worst thing I do today, I'm good." i.e. nothing got broken, nobody got hurt. Carry on. The number of times I have walked away from a kitchen appliance and returned to find not a damn thing has boiled, toasted or...
