I've reviewed all the threads here about the great riding roads in Ontario and clicked on some of the links and checked out the websites. But I cannot find any really good riding roads in and around Durham Ontario. Does anyone have good roads around Pickering, Ajax, Whitby & Oshawa? Any...

They don't have insurance in Singapore? And you've been in Canada for 20 years and this is how you expect to obtain motorcycle insurance? Wow!

No limit and after a few days they can put a lien on it and sell it at auction to recoup their fees. Get it as soon as you can.

How is this a silly comparison? A car or truck being stupid on the road is a lot more dangerous than this nut on a bike. Do you report every moron on the road? Also you of course are the perfect driver/rider. Let the cops do their jobs, they have enough resources.

Where is the personal insult? Retro Grouch is right. OP bought the same bike in same neighborhood and expected a different result. Point is that if you don't want to deal with stolen bike, cops and insurance why do the same thing and expect something diff? I'll come out and say it, sounds...

+1 OP... Wouldn't it be smarter to 'learn and practice' mechanics by taking a course at a Community College rather than on your bike?

The ability to pass the M1 does not imply ability to ride a motorcycle. Reverse is true as well.

Bump. Going to Haugen's this Thursday evening. Weather looks good. http://www.haugens.com/motorcycle.htm

Don't Quit. "Learning is experience. Everything else is just information." - Albert Einstein When I bought my first bike, I crashed my brand new Ninja 500 just coming out of the driveway of the dealership. No major damage other than the farings and scratches on the exhaust. I was stupid and...

Fight it, fight it, fight it. Like your license and insurance depend on it. Because they do. You can't be suspended on this violation alone. http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/dandv/driver/demerit.shtml "Correction", a Novice Driver (G1, G2, M1, M2) will receive a 30 day suspension for a...

Sorry if everyone knows this, but I just learned it over the weekend (not from experience, but listening to a friend). When filling the oil after a change, stand the bike up. Have a friend hold it or use a chock. On the stand, the bike will lean (to a side or forward) which will throw off...

I have no problem with the spirit of this bylaw. While I understand what led to this, the reason this bylaw is wrong, is that unfairly targets only a small subset of motorists. Modified cars, exotic cars, lawn mowers, gas leaf blowers, snow blowers, other 2-stroke motors, large trucks with...

Where are you getting this? Most standard lines automobile insurance companies do not review the points received with each conviction. The MTO lists the conviction as a Minor, Major or Criminal Code infraction. The insurance companies file rules with the Financial Services Commission of...

False. There is no requirement for you to contact your insurance company every renewal to advise them of any convictions. They will pull abstracts on their own and rate in accordance with their rules. The requirement to disclose is on APPLYING for insurance.

Okay... 1st - I'm glad you're okay. You're able to walk away and that's God helping you out. May not seem like it now, but sometimes you get what you need, not what you want. 2nd - I'm not going to lecture you on the mistakes you made. I'm sure when you're calmer and can critically...

Yes, the signed off ownership and safety + cash or credit card with a driver license will get you new plates.

Check on the Repair and Storage Leins Act (Ontario) Wording of the act: http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/statutes/english/elaws_statutes_90r25_e.htm Ontario How to Guide: http://www.ontario.ca/en/services_for_business/access_now/STEL02_115703.html Make sure any communication you provide to the...

Look who needs to lighten up. How does rating out the second cyclist help the first? I am not assuming any guilt on any party. If the second cyclist wants to come forward they can. By some of the comments here it seems that this guy is guilty and convicted already.

Agreed! Once a rat, always a rat. :x

Some of the Harley dealers out west of Oakville rent Harleys. According to the GTA Exotics website: The driver must be 25 years of age or older to rent cars. 21 years of age for motorcycles (with proof of their own insurance) M2 licenses are accepted providing you can prove that you are a...
