The 250R has 2 placeholders where accessories can be mounted (mirrors in particular.) If you look next to your grips you'll see a plastic plug on either side, which if removed will reveal a thread which a RAM mount ball can be attached into. I forget the size of thread at the moment, but all...

Wore my old modular helmet at a No Frills while shopping for some groceries a long time ago. Still remember getting quite a few odd looks from people, even though I had the face open. People understand you're a motorcycle rider, but they still seem to think you're an alien or something wearing...

I saw a bike today! It had wheels!

Free street parking for motorcycles generally only applies to Green P metered areas (not the Green P lots though.) Even with that in mind, in Green P zones you still have to abide by any restrictions -- i.e. if nobody is allowed to park within certain timeframes or for longer than a certain...

Lanny, was that you I spotted riding north on Spadina near Lake Shore tonight around 9:10 or so? Was coming home from work with a pounding headache so just noticed at the last second coming through the intersection. lol.

A lot of the time the "advice" people at the dealerships will give is mostly to protect their own *** (although yours as well to an extent.) It's the same as why Timmies has to put "Caution: HOT" on their coffee cups nowadays: They've had people try to sue them for their own riding mistakes...

Christ, that doesn't look good at all... GWS rider, hope they came out better than the bike...

Yes, there are tons of streetcar tracks around there, running across 3 out of 4 directions at that intersection in particular. I work in the area and have already had one occasion where my rear slipped while changing lanes over them. GWS rider.

Just had a nice slip on the 401 Eastbound Warden off-ramp, thanks to some roadkill on the outer half of the right-turn (northbound) lane. Looked like a small animal, maybe a raccoon or even just a squirrel or something, but it was enough to unsettle the bike quite harshly. If you're going to...

I've bought a few things from there, but never have trusted any of the staff there in terms of product knowledge, except for maybe the guys at the Parts counter for the few very basic things I've ordered. Although, that said, one guy literally laughed in my face when I picked up a Givi part I...

I like burritos!

Here's a higher quality video... guess City doesn't have more important things to report on eh?

Saw them this morning, but they've been around a few times lately. Also been a few hanging around the Bayview-Bloor exit.

I'm stuck at work til 8:30, but hopefully parttimer and I will be joining, wherever the meet ends up being -- looking forward to seeing everyone!

Hey, now there's a familiar face I haven't seen around in quite a while! V-Strom DL650 (the "Wee" Strom as it's known to fellow StromTroopers ;)) is an excellent sport-tourer, I've owned my '05 since Nov 2011 and I absolutely love it. Picked up with 23.5k, now sitting around 48k. Very sturdy...

I just toss it out and buy a new one while I'm shopping. ... OK, no, since I have something ridiculous like 130L of storage on my bike, I tend to lock my gear up in my sidebags.

Last year or so, I was looking into the Shoei Multitec but found that in my proper sizing, my chin & mouth were right up against the front of the helmet. Still haven't tried on a Neotec, but I was told at that time that the Neotec helmets would have a slightly extended chinbar which should...

I've only ever used the voice command once or twice on mine, so can't say if that's an issue on my own units. However, a few of us have had problems with the units "crashing" and/or rebooting. It's usually when there are 3+ riders connected/talking, but I've had it happen just riding with my...

Out of curiosity, what was wrong with yours, and how long did you have them before problems occurred? I picked up my G9 headset (just the headphone+mic part) at GP last week, not sure if I can just exchange it there or if I'll need to send back to Cardo... was the last unit they had at the time...

I've had a pair of Joe Rocket Alter Ego pants since 2010. Admittedly I don't wear them very often, usually only if I'm going out on a long ride into areas I don't frequent, but they've paid for themselves on at least one occasion. My first real "accident" was 100km out of town near the end of...
