A bit off topic, but like the others have stated, this had been dragged on for 20+ months. Also, I don't want to get into a debate on how to run a business, the challenges that come with it, cashflow issues, etc. The fact here is that the $1,500 was paid in full by the OP, and there seems to...

That is just it. I don't think we are here disputing how tough Velocity's products stand up to crashes and abuse, when they fit right. Don't think we are here to compare his products to his competitors like A*, Tecknic, etc. Obviously, we are not making up stories that specifically target...

Sense of time certainly not his strong suit. Hope you get your money/refund within the next 48 hrs.

You've got it right on the money. He can't make money when his suppliers don't deliver. He never own up to the problems and make good with the customer (I know for a fact that he kept insisting that my friend's suit was okay when it is clearly not fitting correctly). He was quick at taking in...

Porter's great. the centre island airport was awesome up until Air Canada and its passengers were allowed to go through there as well. It's still good comparing to Pearson because of less volume. You may want to try to call Porter ahead of time and see if they can do special arrangements for...

Hi Matt, sorry to hear what's happened to you. My buddy went through the same experience a couple years back with a custom kangaroo suit, and he called it quits at the time because it was just too much aggrevation to deal with Velocity/Jimmy not taking on ownership of the problems. Also, you...

My advice will be to start with country road highways (non-400 series) and get used to the speed, gear shifting, merging and passing. Once you feel comfy, pick any of the 400-series. try to hop on early saturdays & sundays, in between 6am & 9am. That'll give you a solid 3 hr window with...

Also consider the Ninja 650. really comfy riding position. But I think you may change your mind if it's only cosmetic... think about jumping the curb to get out of a jammed parking lot where your 2 buddies will be sweating, etc.:cool:

As we found out he's a rider as well, I would support the book being thrown at him.

Norm deserves better than that. I've bought 2 bikes within 2 years from him. Super guy to deal with. He is genuine and looks out for your well-being. I'd buy bikes from him again. Rod is another friendly guy there. A more driven sales-manager, but good guy as well.

Meat Cove - the path leading from Cabot Trail is unpaved. take it easy going in. rear brakes will be your best friend. Stay loose. Once you get there, you'll know that it's worth the trouble. Last time I was there (2012), part of the road was washed up. As for the Cabot Trail, you'll...

I use lens cleaners (the sprays you get from optical shop for glasses). Bought a bottle for $2.50 at Target in the states, been using it since with the microfibre cloth sold at CT (I carry one in a ziploc bag). I think as long as you soak the air-dried buggers for a good couple of minutes...

Isn't the evo 848 a Bieber bike? :) On a serious note, you are hitting a very niche market. You will really have to spend time to weed out the jokers on Kijiji. I've sold a bike and car on kijiji before, and from my experience, if you price is on par, just be patient and the right buyer will...

Ohhhhhh yeeeahhhhhh...... (in Duffman's voice)

+1. If it is trying to save money on shipping costs...by all means use warehousing services and pick up at border, then declare everything. Never ever try to save on duties & taxes.... it's not worth it.

Forgot to mention... an alternative will be Williamsport (other direction in the East). Nice town to stay in, and you can use it as a home base. Kick back and relax at the Bullfrog Brewery at night :) and it's a short walk from the hotel (we stayed at the Hampton's which is conveniently...

+1. Get good sleeps at a much more comfortable Best Western than the Renovo "Yesterday's". Amongst 3 people, you can split the cost of a room. Bring: Rain gear - not so much for the rain, but the mornings can be a bit chilly up in the mountains Zip ties and tire patch kit - hope you won't...

I believe it depends on the policy. OP, you may have "vandalism" under your coverage... then it won't be at-fault. It'll still count as a claim, but under a different category. They'll likely only release it to police.

You got to, at a bare minimum, a helmet, flip flops, white tank top with a d-vest on top. Even the squids have some standard on bare minimum :)

I believe safety certs are meaningless and make no difference when it comes to insurance. Also your choice of bike (a fine choice) is also one that has a higher chance of getting stolen. Motorcycling indeed is an expensive hobby in Ontario. I feel for you OP. You may want to ask them if...
