    M1 insurance

    As others said, just do the riding course. Its a bit pricey but you learn a bunch, almost guaranteed to pass and you will get insured much easier. I tried to do the M1 exit in Oshawa on my dad's R1 years ago and failed. I said eff it and went the course route for the M1 exit and then did the M2...

    M2 | Age 28 | Ottawa Residence | First Bike advise

    I pay a couple cents under 50 bucks a month. I've had my licence since 2015, did the M1/M2 exit courses and been street legal for about 2 years. TD insurance bundled with my house and car so there's an extra discount. The RC390 is my first personal motorcycle that I bought. Cheap to buy new...

    M2 | Age 28 | Ottawa Residence | First Bike advise

    I'm gonna go with an obviously biased choice and say go for an RC390 since its costing me peanuts in ownership costs. Its still fun as hell to ride after 2 years of owning it and I've learned a fair amount tinkering with it. Plus it just looks cool. New one is the ewww one

    Road Test - Communication Question

    This is what RTI had. It was kinda loose in the ear unless you jammed it in. I had it also taped to my ear so it didn't fall out. No need to take out helmet speakers in my experience.

    North York Dufferin and Ranee RIP

    Damn, up until a week ago I was commuting this little stretch almost daily on the bike. Its a whacky area with clueless drivers and people gunning for gaps. Such a shame. RIP

Took a couple hours but the bike runs better, and buddy showed me around the shop, introduced me to some techs and did the tuning...

    Anyone Work in Trades? Tell Me About Your Journey!

    No, no. Dad's name is Andrzej. A real eastern euro man if you've ever seen one. Truck driver now. Crazy how much money a trucker can make if he can fix his own equipment.

    Anyone Work in Trades? Tell Me About Your Journey!

    My story, simple. My dad owned a bodyshop when I was a kid and I always around it, loved it, and now I work on my own stuff for the most part. In High school I did the co-op program to be an auto service tech and I quickly realized just how much I hated working on other people's junk. Mind you...
