    Thoughts on similar bikes to CB500F?

    Too bad she doesn't like cruisers, since they have such low seats When I was shopping for my first bike, I thought the Shadow650 and Star650 both looked too big and heavy. If you could get her a test ride on one, it might build up her confidence enough to want one NC700 has a reputation as a...

    Thoughts and Opinions on 1985 Honda VF500C Magna V30?

    I imagine that you are only hoping to get one or two seasons out of the bike before you trade up. It's probably not a risky gamble. If you've got a line on a newer bike for a lower price, that might make more sense, though. Personally, I'd be hesitant to take an old bike on a long road trip...

    Worst case of road rage I have ever seen.

    That's how it is in Oshawa. The GMCs are just as bad as the BMWs, only bigger.

    Am I the road rage A for honking?

    Back in 1867, when I took my drivers-ed class, they told me that the only good reason to honk your horn is to warn others of impending danger. So, yes, if you blew your horn out of anger, it means that your anger management skills are slipping. You are letting the bad drivers of Toronto...

    Dual Sport as First Bike

    A few days ago I say a video on youtube talking about what makes a wr250x a better choice than a grom. Since then, I've seen a ton of rave reviews of the wr250r, which seems very similar to the x, and much easier to find. They look like fun bikes, and still fast enough for the freeway...

    Failure to produce ownership/insurance...what do you guys think?

    I got a ticket once for failure to carry proof of insurance. I'm pretty sure it is a real law. I think the cop was just being spiteful because you argued about the license plate. Hope you didn't tell him that the plate was straight but his head was on crooked; that never works. You could hire a...

    What motorcycle could you see yourself on next?

    I'd want something midsized and versatile for daily riding, occasional weekend camping, and long runs on the freeway. Still undecided which class of bike I want next, don't really want to get locked into cruisers right from the start. Vulcan S, Star 950 tourer, Vstrom 650, Versys 650, or KLR650.

    Turbans vs Helmets

    I recall reading somewhere sometime that there is more than one way to wrap a turban. Back in the sword and shield era, Sikh soldiers would wear a layer of steel mesh inside the turban to protect their heads. In the same tradition, perhaps Sikh motorcyclists could wrap a layer of Kevlar for...

    Best place for M1 Exit?

    I took the course from Learning Curves. I think maybe they had the most convenient location for me. They were good enough; my favorite instructor was ex-RTI, though

    M2 Exit test questions

    I just read the attachment, and it seems like I've been doing my left and turns all wrong. I will need to get into the habit of doing it right before I test for my M. Your attachment is pretty clear. You make your left turns out of the left track into the left track, jockeying out of the...
