The above suggestions are very important because you have to be comfortable and have enough experience to ride with others especially since in many cases, you will be in formation or even sharing a lane. It also depends on the group you are riding with. For example, different types of bikers...

I am considered a new rider but regardless, I feel I should reply especially since I'm about the same height as you. First of all, forget all the haters. It isn't about them, it is about you. How you feel when you are on that bike. The fact that you cannot put both of your feet on the ground...

If i remember correctly, RTI allows up to 10 Points but they will pass you even if you get that many points. (I know because a fellow rider got that many and still passed). It comes down to if you are riding safe. That is ultimately what they are after and you are always entitled to a free...

It is 140KM+ distance. ;) There seems to be some confusion so here is further clarification for everybody not knowing the difference between filtering and splitting. Filtering is anything less then 30KMPH. Splitting is anything above 30KMPH. That being said, you are not allowed to ride on...

Very often I see a lot of Riders on a daily basis on HWY 10, HWY 410, HWY 9 and HWY 400. It's just a matter of being out during those peak times which usually is on my way back from work, not so much in the morning. There are also different meets that happen throughout the week with (Lakeshore...

For starters, I edited my post. Sorry for not posting all that right away. You state that I keep yammering about my riding experience except that I've only mentioned that I commute a lot and I put 6k+ on my R3 since I got it. That doesn't specifically speak to my ability to lane split or...

A car "is a road vehicle, typically with four wheels, powered by an internal combustion engine and able to carry a small number of people." Clearly not every driving law is based on cars. As I've stated, I've discussed the matter with different officers from different departments across the...

I did my M2 Safety course with Riders Training Institute. I was able to get a 13% discount because I did my Introduction to Motorcycle Riding with RTI a year before. They were awesome and the course was worth every penny. I strongly recommend them to anyone considering a Motorcycle safety...

Here are your options. You go in at 7 AM when the Drivetest centre opens, you do the M1 test. It isn't expensive (all things considered) and it will allow you to continue riding since you'll be able to get it right away. You no-longer have to wait the 60 days because you've already had your M1...

Looks like I got some replies and some research about how long I've been riding. Excellent. Should make it more interesting. For starters, lets get the ball rolling. If it is indeed illegal, why does the MTO officially state its not recommended rather then it being legal or illegal...

So i gave it a try and rode my Yamaha R3 17' for about 70KM with a mixture of Highway and City and was averaging between 3L-3.5L going around 100-120KM per hour which leads me to believe that if I were doing 80KM the whole way, I'd be getting lower then 3L, possibly 2.5L and as far as the Tank +...

I very much agree with this. If they are serious about buying the bike, they will be serious about actually taking the time to first take a look at the bike and then actually make an offer should it be lower then the advertised price... If you are willing to deal with the hassle of selling your...

Its refreshing to see RTI and the City of Toronto working on something like this, despite it not being able to overwrite provincial and hta laws and regulations... I'll continue to look at this as a grey area as I filter and split regardless. If filtering and splitting would become legal...

:( You are right, I just read the rules... my bad :P

Welcome. You've made an excellent choice. Riding is one of the best experiences life has to offer. I recently got into riding after wanting to do it forever and already put 6000KM after 39 days :lmao:

Its quite possible to get 3L/100KM on a Yamaha R3 provided you don't accelerate quickly, always try to stick to the higher gears (4-6) and keep moving because the more stops you make, the more gas you'll waste to get going again... and all this while not having to slow down due to traffic (very...

Toronto, CN Tower.

The only way is to go through an M2 Safety Course and complete the M2 Exit with said course. Then obtain a certificate and show proof of completion. There are a few insurance companies that are willing to insure you while you still have your M1 and your rates will change once you officially...

New Member from Orangeville Hello. I recently acquired my baby (picture posted below). She was brand new as a 2017 Yamaha R3 with ABS. I've already put 3000KM+ on her with within the first three weeks of ownership. Right now, I have her insured for $1736 for the year with Full Coverage. I even...
