I first started on a Dual Sport and have no regrets. Not only was it a fun bike to ride but it gave me the opportunity to explore off-road riding which I loved. I'd still own a Dual Sport today if any of my friends had them, that and having some good off road places to ride nearby :) Dual...

Without pictures or more information it's hard to say for sure, but my rule of thumb is if there is anything wrong with a tire, I replace it. It may mean replacing a tire that has plenty of miles left in it, but it beats the option of having it deflate at high speed. The cost of a new tire is...

WD-40 also works very well.

Great discussion and we'd get somewhere if our Government had a clue or even cared about us. As far as HOV they constantly speak out of both sides of their mouth. On one hand it's for vehicles with 2 or more occupants, but they allow "green cars" because they are better for the environment...

I've got a conference to attend in Toronto this summer and will be staying at the Sheraton. For a change I'm thinking of riding my bike over (a co-worker will bring my luggage/laptop). Given all the reports of bike thefts in Toronto I called the Sheraton to ask about their motorcycle parking...

Personal favourite is Trippin on two wheels, especially the first season (Switzerland/Italy). It was originally broadcast on the Speed network but now appears to be purchase only. http://www.trippinontwowheelstv.com/

Companies typically wait a couple weeks to remove the lien but other than that are legally required to remove a lien in a timely manner. As others have said, call the bank and ask to speak with someone to deal with this. Since liens are placed/removed electronically it should be done fairly...

Have you even seen the bike? If not, are you sure you want to buy it sight unseen? As far as a deposit to hold it, as long as you and the seller both agree and understand what this means you should be OK. Deposits are typcially non-refundable and have an expiry date on when you need to...

Sorry to burst your bubble, but you obviously don't know how Quebec Insurance works. Take a look at the attached Quebec Government "Registration Renewal Chart". This covers the plates and the "basic" insurance. The cheap insurance you refer to is the extra insurance over and above this that...

The Ontario Insurance rates are bad enough without getting the Government involved (given how well they manage everything else). Accountability should be the key to fair insurance rates and not the Government agreeing to lower/restrict coverage and claims. Insurance companies should be...

Hey Rogo, Moving from the Maritimes to Onterrible hilites the excessive cost of insurance in this Province. To make matters worse, many of the riders on the Ottawa forum are getting their 2016 renewals and are reporting significant (25-50%) increases in their premiums. Mine comes in...

I have a 2008 Daytona (bought new spring 2009). I've put 40,000 + KMs on it and love it. Only problem I've had is the regulator/rectifier frying and being replaced by Triumph even though my bike was no longer in warranty. It's a unique bike (don't see them everywhere) that looks good, handles...

Wow, another example of our Provincial Government reaching into our wallets. Guess as long as you are willing to pay, FCK those that meet the original requirements. So the HOV (errrr, HOT) lanes will be full of Electric/Green Vehicles and people willing to pay rather than share a ride.

What? You don't think these are a good idea? https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/14/bb/c4/14bbc472d6dbea51bb2153c61be0b78d.jpg

Where did you get your quotes? As a "mature" rider I found my best quote from from TD Meloche Monnex. It helps that my university is part of their affinity program which dropped the rate by a few hundred $. Not much of a deal on my truck (but they were competitive) but the bike (Daytona 675)...

Unfortunately you are not wrong. A couple years ago I was leaving a restaurant when I witnessed a car side swip the car parked next to it. I tried to stop the driver and when she wouldn't stop took a picture of the car (including the plate) and immediately called the police. The owner of the...

HD always rents. Here is a link to their site. I travel to Chicago a lot for work and can't think of a place worse for bike riding (unless you're heading outside the city). Second site is one I saw earlier, no idea about them...

My guess is "Your" ticket/conviction is Permit to operate a motor vehicle without insurance". Since it was your vehicle you are not supposed to let others use it if it is not properly insured. That would also explain why the ticket is yours unless you advise the Police that your sister did NOT...

You won't like my answer but I agree that the issue started with the dealer. I've worked for one of the major auto manufacturers and have dealt with many dealers (car and motorcycle). A technical bulletin is NOT a recall, it is a step by step process to diagnose and fix the problem. Usually...

Your post reminds me how important it is to get EVERYTHING in writing and to NEVER accept another persons (or business) guarantee/description. Unfortunately it's still largely "buyer beware" out there and once they have your money selective memory comes into play. As far as the term agreed...
