Lots of good advice already. Take advantage of GP Bikes helmet sale now. Fortnine has good stuff on closeout. (Fieldsheer jacket mentioned above, Icon Prep all leather CE 2 boots). Gloves, leather with sliders if you can find them at a good price. Lots of pants available on Kijiji at good...

Since becoming funded by the government, you do not need to be catholic to attend a catholic school. Completely agree with your golden rule. The fact remains this law is unfair and exclusionary.

This. You have an engine an engine on a piece of plywood. I'd be ****** to if you were my tenant.

Saw a video of a rider who did this, the bike tossed him into the guardrail on the outside of the turn. It did not turn out well for the rider.

Agree 110%

Thanks.

I posted a link earlier in the thread. One I know of this one: Vespa Primavera 150 | Model Overview Canada 155cc, 98kph top speed. Sure as hell not safe on a 400 series highway unless it’s 3am. There are other smaller displacement scooters over 50cc that would probably fall in the same or...

When you were an instructor, would you take a student onto a highway if there bike couldn’t physically reach the speed limit let alone the true speed of traffic? I see this as a safety issue, not at bending rules to make a $. I completely agree with you that we need to adapt a better system...

I may have missed it, but I don’t recall reading that the members who had there test with RTI said they didn’t test on the highway. Can anyone point me to the post #?

A copy and paste from the RTI website. “ For M2 class riders who wish to obtain an M licence and a potential insurance discount. “100cc-250cc” version is also available for M2 class riders who own a motorcycle/scooter between 100cc and 250cc that cannot reach highway speeds in excess of...

I don’t see it as pandering, I see it as offering a service for riders that own bikes that aren’t capable of hitting highway speed. You are entitled to your opinion obviously, but I would like to hear your solution to the gap in the system. ML is for 50cc bikes, but there is lots of bikes...

ML is for 50cc or less. Talk to your MPP if you don’t like the system. That’s all I have to say on this.

My point is the system allows for this to happen, so why is everyone so critical of people who take advantage of it. I don’t disagree with the point that riders should learn to ride on a 400 series highway. But some people won’t ride on highway. I don’t get all the chastising of the OP’s wife...

So how does someone who lives in North Bay or Kapuskasing rent a bike?

Well said!

This conversation is going in circles. So what if the riders bike can’t do highway speeds?

I’m sure there are other bikes that are over 100cc and can’t hit highway speeds. Point being that there is a gap in the system that allows groups like RTI to provide proper training to people with lower speed bikes with engine sizes over 50cc.

Vespa Primavera 150 | Model Overview Canada 61mph, 155cc. Wouldn't catch me on one of those on the highway. You need an M to ride one of these. So whats you solution?

I don’t disagree with you, I push myself all the time, still do being over 50. I have over 200 hours of public speaking under my belt, yet when I was younger it scared the crap out of me. I get it. But, just because we do it doesn’t mean it’s right for everyone. I have learned through...

You are wrong on so many levels. Plenty of riders downtown Toronto have no need to go on the highway, they ride to get around the core of the city. There is no need to take a highway, you can get anywhere you want without one. Heck, if I have time, I’ll take the side roads to spend more time on...
