I picked up an dual-purpose bike and have a MX style helmet from back in the day. Apart from being of that time period when manufacturers thought neon pink was a cool colour to splash onto bikes and helmets, the helmet is in excellent condition. Its made by FOX and is DOT and Snell. I look...

I dropped my SV1000 one day just as I pulled onto a soft shoulder that was on a downward slope to a ditch. In my adrenalin surge I completely forgot to put it in gear and so just as I got it upright it did a slow roll into the ditch and plunked down again. Where it was there was no way to get...

Well I ordered a Screaming Banshee horn due to the fact they had a free shipping promotion going on for fathers day. The horn is 99.99. The UPS thieves arrived at my house with the item but I wasn't home so they left a notice. The UPS bill was 58 effing dollars! I usually will never order...

Not to sound like a sh*thead ... But I will for the safety of the OP because I want him to make it to the 3 year mark for riding cuz the way he's going he's gonna hurt himself bad. Dude, just because you know the roads well doesn't mean they are as pristine as the last time you were on it...

Without a doubt the best place to eat on a ride is anywhere 300 KMs from home! Any closer and you need to ask yourself "am I a rider, or am I a diner?". Then get back on the bike and keep going....

On way home tonight some time round midnight was travelling north on DVP then saw fire truck blocking right lane almost crossways. Once past the truck I could see police plus a tow truck with a mangled sport bike in the carrier. Bike was a red and black one....pretty sure a Honda CBR or...

Never ever trust anything to be of any quality whatsoever if they use a "Z" in place of an "S". Doesn't matter what....

Got nabbed on hwy 7 just east of Kaladar. Rare moment when no other vehicles in front or behind and speed just crept up on me and my SV1000. After writing me up the cop starts telling me about his V-Max. So I'm thinking to myself "jeezuz, as if that beast never has speed creep up without...

dude.... just go on e-bay. I think even if you search under "bandana" you will get those multi-use ones coming up. I've got a few different ones of there...cheap cheap cheap especially if you can find an seller that has more than 1 decent looking style and get them for 1 shipping price. Like...

Black Friday is coming up and I was wondering if anyone has had any experiences [good/bad] either driving down for the day or shopping online? I was wondering if it would be worthwhile to drive to Watertown NY [i'm from kingston area] just for the day....so any deal would need to be cheaper...

Please dont take offence Rocket250, but youre suggesting to a fairly new rider that being able to swerve around a car cutting you off is a fairly easy thing to do on a 125/250. For your own sake please take a look at your own riding style because ripping along at "at least 30 kph" faster than...

The GS500 is a vastly underrated bike IMHO. I bought an 89 GS500E in 1992. It was the first year for the model, and for some odd reason it was the only year the bike came with clip-on bars [although not super low -- very comfortable] then went to the higher tube type. I was in my 30s when i...

I'm siding with Yellowduck on this one... sure, the onus is on the cager to change lanes safely and all that but unless the rider has a death wish then the onus is also on him/her to realize when to ride defensively. Not only did she have her signal on, but there is also the REASON why she...

Just got back from 3 great days of riding in the Adirondacks and Vermont. I planned the majority of my run based on what Ive read in this thread. {thanks everyone!} Obviously, unless you live under a rock you're aware of the flood damage and a quick google search will let you know what roads...

canadasmotorcycle.ca has some for that helmet. 39.99 http://www.canadasmotorcycle.ca/joe-rocket-helmet-replacement-shield.html

GWS rider... thats crazy...now we have to watch for wires as well? If someone strung something across the road for a laugh, i hope they catch the SOB and the full weight of the law comes down on him/her. Oh wait...its canada...likely if caught will get probation...

I thought my post was pretty clear that I supported everything the OP did. "kudos to you" wasnt anything negative : I always have thought giving "kudos" to someone was the same a congratulating them. If I'm wrong, I apologize...and now i'm going to find an internet dictionary!

such sad news.... RIP young lady

Company i work for has designated motorcycle parking, but i dont use it. I prefer to leave mine parked in the shadiest spot I can...just be thankful you have a safe place to leave it for the day/night while you work cuz it could be worse...
