    Ducati , Triumph...WOW

    Probably the same price they are now... When I bought my Daytona a couple years ago, most dealers weren't discounting their bikes at the end of the season. Maybe things have changed now but I doubt it. If you are looking for an end of season discount, look at the dealer in Calgary or perhaps...

    New York Vendors Apparell, Parts, Helmets etc.

    I go to New York State fairly often and haven't found any place worth buying from. I have however used Sportbiketrackgear.com to have items shipped to my hotel. They usually ship within the US for free and by giving the hotel a heads up that stuff is coming it's usually waiting for me when I...

    Question about air filter

    The K & N filter website lists the same part number for each bike. You should be good to go.

    Buying a bike with a lean on it...

    There aren't too many vehicles sold privately that don't have a lien on them. While it's always necessary to take a few precautions, it's not too difficult. As others have mentioned, pay the owner in two parts, one part jointly payable to the owner and the financial institution (you'll need to...

    Got renewal notice. Surprising drop.

    I started with Primmum and also never had to be part of a group. Try this page...http://www.tdinsurance.com/rv/moto/ "none of the above" is an option to that question. That being said, when I renewed and found I was part of a group that Melloche recognized my premium went down a huge...

    Should i get collision insurance or not?

    What is your deductible? I bought collision insurance with a $1K deductible simple because I wanted protection if my bike was written off. Small accidents/claims I'd rather pay myself then claim and have my premium increase. I pay less than $100 a year for this coverage. Seems a good deal...

    buying a bike in quebec

    Here is a good link. http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/dandv/vehicle/rgoutcan.shtml My 2 cents is that you shouldn't have to pay any taxes in Quebec as you live in Ontario and will ultimately be registering it in Ontario. Perhaps you can get a temporary permit in Ontario before you head to...

    price difference between dealerships? which one to go with?

    All things being equal I'd go with the dealer that gave you the best price to begin with (unless you told him what the other dealer was willing to sell for). I've no time for businesses that give you "their best price" then are willing to drop the price some more once they've found out someone...

    Toronto to Halifax on a Ninja 250! (?)

    Seriously? It's a 12 hr ride from Montreal to Halifax. Not too long if you and your bike are up for it. You start early in the morning and you are there in time for supper. That being said, if I am starting from Toronto any time before noon I'd go further than Montreal. I used to stop in...

    Co-Operators No Longer Insures Motorcycles

    Friend is a co-op agent and gave me a quote a few weeks ago. Their quote wasn't competitive but that's another story. My agent did say they were being selective about which clients they would insure but since you are already with them that shouldn't be an issue.

    Toronto to Halifax on a Ninja 250! (?)

    Not sure I'd want to ride that distance on a 250...but that being said I'd try to avoid Quebec... kind of boring and the speeds are often well above 100km. As suggested, consider going through the States. Here is an example of a route. Maybe stop in Burlington VT instead of Montreal...

    GTA to Ottawa - Best route?

    Depending on how long you want to take to get to Ottawa I'd suggest the 401 to Belleville, North on the 62 to Madoc then the 7 to Ottawa. Gas shouldn't be a problem as long as you can get 200 km to a tank.

    Bike parking rules in Montreal?

    I'm also going to be in Montreal this weekend (F1 race?) and have decided it will be safer to park my bike in an underground parking lot at one of the hotels. Between not being 100% sure where you can park it, the weather (now supposed to rain) and vandalism, theft it just seems to make sense...

    bike knocked over - advise? - yellow 600rr

    DO NOT DO THIS unless you plan to go through insurance. As soon as you call your broken the claim is listed on your record even if you don't move forward with it. From the CAA website I found the following: The Highway Traffic Act of Ontario indicates that you must report any accident that...

    Am I a little paranoid?

    Sorry, think you are a little paranoid. Not sure how you can enjoy riding your bike worried about it being stolen the moment you park it somewhere. Just get an alarm, brake lock, gps, etc and make sure it's insured for theft. At the end of the day it's just a bike. Bikes can be replaced if...

    your reason for picking the bike you are riding now...

    1) Got excellent magazine reviews 2) Awesome sound 3) Great looking 4) Don't see one on every corner I've had her two years now and have no regrets. Still looks great, sounds awesome and a blast to ride.

    TD Insurance

    Insurance companies must not like where you live. Comprehensive (including fire/theft) for my bike is only $90.

    Rode to Ottawa from Toronto on a 250 Ninja.

    Welcome to Ottawa.... Regardless of the weather, 7 is the only way to go no a bike unless you somehow like riding on the 400 series highways. Have a safe ride back to Toronto today. Too bad the weather still sucks. Hope you have good rain gear.
