Hey everyone, I'm a new rider, been riding for about a week and have done training but I'm still learning. I need some people to ride with in Guelph who I can learn from and find cool roads to ride on, who would be willing to go a little slower so I can keep up and show me the ropes. Thanks!

Hey guys. I got my M1 a bit over a week ago and completed training (and passed) this weekend. I'll have my bike insured and plated (a 1984 Honda Magna, 500cc) by tomorrow. I was looking for some people to ride with who wouldn't mind me just learning the ropes of riding on actual streets and on a...

Thanks. If I purchase the body armor and wear a regular jacket over it in cool days, will that work? And can the knee armor be worn over jeans? EDIT: I think I'll purchase a high viz rain jacket for sure since I was going black on all gear, color preference. I'll also consider body armor if I...

Should I consider purchasing it, especially considering that its only $70?

Can I call this late? I commented in the post as well

The naked jacket is gorgeous. I haven't bought a suit in about a year so I'm not 100% sure about my size. I'm a fairly lean dude at 170lb 5'9-5'10, wide shoulders. I can probably got to the store and get sized right? edit: I wear medium t-shirts/jackets/etc from most places. I think 44 sounds...

I'll try the gear out in person to make sure it fits my body type, and buy knee guards until I can find decent fitting kevlar jeans. I'm sure bike shops have a return policy if I walk outside in a set of gear and instantly break into a sweat lmao. Also I see your username says Guelph, is that...

Hahaha the ComiCon comment was gold. And fair enough, I'll see if I can find a decent jacket in store or online. I had no idea, thank you. Is there a date after which I should consider it relatively useless? Thanks, I'll purchase knee protection for now. And thanks for the suggestion, any idea...

Is heat that big of an issue? I see it being mentioned a lot but I figured if you're going at a decent speed, you wouldn't overheat. Is this wrong? As mentioned earlier, heat seems to be a big concern. I will try to find a jacket that provides sufficient protection while still having...

The helmets are brand new, stickers still on them and everything. Completely unused. Will that be alright? I will spend that much on a jacket if necessary, thanks for the advice. As mentioned earlier, will knee protection worn over regular jeans be sufficient to protect my knees? I will...

Awesome, thank you. I'll definitely pick up a pair of boots. I'll look into the age of the helmets. Does an older helmet provide significantly less protection? I'll check the helmets out, thanks. I'll look up some used ones. I hear bike gear gets hot, so it won't be gross and sweaty buying a...

New rider, picking up a bike tomorrow and doing the course next weekend. I was looking for gear and had a few questions: My father had 2 brand new unused helmets lying around; one UNEED and one MHR. Given that they fit, am I (and my eventual passenger) okay wearing these? I googled the...

Ah thanks anyways for the offer! If anyone is in the region, I'll be commuting over to Mississauga from Guelph and heading over either Friday night or Saturday morning, whichever works best with you, if you'd like to give it a look for me, I'd appreciate it.

That would be great, thank you! It's in Brampton, and he's cool with Saturday. I can pick you up anywhere in the GTA if it's far Edit : sorry double posted

I found an '84 Honda Magna which appears to be in great condition. I'll be checking it out Friday. The person sounds like they really care about the bike and took good care of it and even willing to drive it back to me for about an hour so he seems to trust it. Is there anything I should look...

Whoops I guess 6 years, since I drove almost exclusively when we had to go anywhere when I had my G1. My dad took me out for a drive in empty parking lots early to get me used to the car

Sounds good, I'll see what I can do, thanks

Is that a good idea? I wouldn't want it to get bought out by someone else haha edit: http://www.kijiji.ca/v-street-cruisers-choppers/mississauga-peel-region/1980-yamaha-400-special/1076983112

I'm new to this forum, are pictures allowed? I can post a couple from the ad, there are a fair bit of them up close and I would like to see if any of you could see an issue I would miss.
