I've found that Hi-Viz & Reflective tapes don't do much at night unless there's light shining on them. Now, if you have LED-integrated clothing... In daylight, Hi-viz helps.

Try looking up the reviews on Homestars.com . You can find every trade/contrator there with reviews and rating. I've used it to locate a few trades, including cleaning services. Pretty accurate! The ones I chose had over 100 reviews and 10/10 ratings.

It will be a sad day when free parking goes away.... that was a huge motivator for both convenience and feeling good with the wallet.

I use this textile one: http://www.canadasmotorcycle.ca/icon-patrol-waterproof-jacket.html Works all season, all-in-one. Never had to bring rain gear on bike trips. The vents are good in hot summer days, and the liner has sleeves which kept me toasty in the fall/winter. I had a perforated...

From my house hunting experience, a good real estate agent will take you to different types of houses within and outside of your desirable range so that you can narrow down to what are the "must-haves" and what items you can live without. Glad our agent took the time to do that with us. Also...

I'd say complete your M1 written test to start, then get your M2 through a riding course. Motorcycling is a serious hobby (from both financial and health perspectives). it's considered a toy because most people do not ride when the temp drops below 10 degrees.

I like the ideas of a bike wash, jacket/helmet storage, and prefer parking. But for the love of god, please keep bike vendors away. Not interested in motorcycle gear at this event. Make it focus on TFC & football, and not flea market junk please.

Here are my thoughts on buying from Dealer comparing to buy from Private: Buying from Dealer: - don't have to worry about any paperwork. It is literally agreeing on a price, then go back to the dealership with cash or bank draft, pick up keys to bike and ride the bike home. Dealer will do all...

If you don't go with heated grips or gloves, then unfortunately your choices are limited. The biggest factor is the wind-chill on both hands when riding. I wouldn't waste any money on ICON products. They are garbage.

Re: Sell or not sell Last time when I was selling my bike: - dealership offered me $2,950 as trade-in value - posted on Kijiji for $3,400. Got all sorts of low-ball offer, most lower than what dealership was offering me - got tired of the whole show & dance routine on Kijiji, pulled the ad...

^^ This. Hope insurance treats you fair. Also, condo or no condo, bikes get stolen (remember the one that was stolen right off of the driveway of a seller?).

Nice list! I want to add one more item if I may please: - when riding in a group stopping at a 4-way stop intersection, the car selflessly waves the entire group through instead of breaking it up

1. Lots of times I rev is because (a) I am stuck behind a car driven by someone who's not paying attention, or (2) pedestrians attempting to cross a big intersection with 2 seconds left on the countdown. Either way, just wanting to let them know that the road is for sharing, and my time is just...

It's great that you are sharing your story. This is a great reminder to all of us that we really need to proceed with caution when we can't see through or clearly. Another reason why MTO wants to see head movements all the time during the M2 exit (show awareness of surroundings), even when...

Practice makes perfect :) Once you get comfortable with the headwind, you will just go with the flow. Thanks for sharing your experience, glad you got to experience both good and bad. Part of riding in GTA has to do with learning its traffic patterns. I'll take the 407 if I don't feel...

RIP... Heard it on AM640 this morning. They were saying the female driver's vehicle crosses the centre divider and hit the motorcycle head on. The driver was airlifted to hospital as well.

LOL Jimmy's disappointed because now the community knows he's full of b***sh** and get to see the true him. Refund poor Matt already for f*sakes and salvage whatever dignity you've left. Maybe someone should contact Lowe's as a courtesy......

+1 This should be the default and the only choice. These guys are sooo good.

Glad you are okay OP. You may want to replace that mirror instead of repairing it as mentioned. Judging from your photo, my mirror snapped off at a similar spot. I did what you were gonna do, with tape on top. That didn't last 5 minutes on hwy 400, and it flew off my bike creating a hazard. I...

next thing you know, they'll blame it on the forever rising gas prices or the US/Canadian exchange rate differences... just man up and do the right thing, with a date & time for delivery of course
