I haven't made a formal list, but one thing I've started doing is to look at each car and ask: "What might they do if I wasn't here?". By assuming that I'm invisible, I find I'm much more conservative at intersections or when passing.

I went from my little CBR with a fairing to a DRZ400 supermoto where I was more exposed. I was convinced something was wrong with the bike—it felt so unstable. I went for a few long highway rides and got used to it after a while. I think it was just learning to relax and let the bike do it's...

Smaller (14T) sprocket for my CBR125. Possibly the best mod for that bike considering you're never going to make it powerful.

This was very helpful in helping me select a helmet for my elongated melon... http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-helmets/motorcycle-helmet-shapes.htm

Sold

wow! :-o

Not quite new price, but I've got my 2011 DRZ up for $4,900. 5 years newer and $600 less.

I'm not sure if they lost money on my initial order, but I'm sure they're making it up on my following orders. (I bought a bunch of stuff at 20%—I didn't have time to search all the stuff I wanted when the 50% sale was on.) Definitely happy so far.

For sale, 2011 Suzuki DR-Z400SM. Purchased new from dealer in June 2012. http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-motorcycles-sport-bikes-2011-Suzuki-DR-Z400SM-Supermoto-W0QQAdIdZ478681855

Take the TD online quote widget with a grain of salt. Online I got about $1500, while on the phone I got about $900. (Different bike.)

I'd be all for filtering being accepted as it is in Europe. However, just being legal would not be enough... it needs to be accepted by drivers. Too many people are diligent enforcers of what they *think* the law should be. I've had people try to run me off the road on my bicycle (not so much in...

Lawrence or York Mills to Don Mills. I used to commute on Don Mills when I had my M1 :) Don't sweat it if you miss a turn. You probably will if it's your first time in traffic. All part of the adventure.

Bobby Kennedy's assassination and Apollo 8 come to mind. I notice that we tend to remember American news more than Canadian. In my defense, my family was living in USA for a while during the sixties. Kennedy was killed while I was there, and we had just returned when Apollo 8 launched.

I got my teknic mercury jacket yesterday! Awesome deal.

I've ridden a CBR125 on the highway. It's fine until you have to pass. Other than that, it was a super fun bike.

Any chain or other theft deterrent can be defeated. My strategy would be to merely make my bike harder to steal than the other bikes in the garage. The towing chain, or even a steel cable should suffice. It would only add a minute to the time necessary to throw your bike in the back of a van...

The 300 seems quite expensive compared to a 250. If you have the money, you could always spend a bit more and get one of the new Honda 500's. I think they'd still qualify as a reasonable bike for a new rider.

Those look interesting, but I'm not sure how they'd stand up to abrasion. Under a pair of kevlar jeans, they might be a good option.

The new bills seem very similar to the ones I used in Australia and New Zealand. I wonder if they made the new canadian bills different enough to be causing problems. My first impression of the plastic bills down south was: "we need these in Canada."

I've used a 30+20 for most purposes. In Europe I needed the full 70 as I was bringing work stuff for a conference after the ride.
