    Hit an animal with my bike for the first time today.

    What makes you think it was a male or female? What if the bunny identified as a coconut? I believe the proper pronoun here is Ze or Xe. You are triggering the rabbit and you need to check your privilege before you make such statements. https://genderneutralpronoun.wordpress.com/tag/ze-and-zir/

    Rider down @ dufferin + lawrence

    Father calls me this morning with a 20 min lecture on why I should get rid of the bike. A blue motorcycle was hit by a vehicle turning left, directly infront of this workplace. Ambulance took the rider away, apparantly he/she was on the ground until they arrived. He said it looked serious...

    Finishing basement with no permit

    Can you please elaborate on that? Of course a contractor would be doing the job (I'd be too scared to start cutting into the house), but how do I know its being done "right"?

    Finishing basement with no permit

    We are looking to get our basement finished... some people say **** the permit and just get it done, while others tell me to ALWAYS get a permit. What are the ramifications of say finishing a basement (with walkout exit) without a permit? Has anyone had any experience with this? Thanks

    Riding during thunderstorms?

    I got caught in a thunderstorm recently, and it got me thinking.. is it a bad idea to continue riding due to the chance of being struck by lightening? In a car there is a metal cage surrounding us, so it feels safer. On a bike, I felt very exposed:agave: Any input?

    Toronto to Denver in 2 days?

    Thank you for the replies. I will be going on a Ducati Monster 620, so it should be fairly comfortable. The only long distance touring I've done is ~800 km toronto to NYC on a Ninja 250r:lmao:. I regularly do ~600km days around Ontario I think you guys are right - 2 days of 1200 km each is...

    Toronto to Denver in 2 days?

    Has anyone rode down to Denver, CO from Toronto? I am considering riding down there this month, but am not sure how I should space out the travel days. Which one of these would be a better option: 3 days of 800km riding, or 2 days of 1200 kms riding?

    Getting my basement finished..lost

    I'm looking for a contractor to finish my basement (bought the house brand new, it's been all concrete for 10 years now...) The house itself is 2000 square feet (so ~1000 in the basement). I'm getting quotes ranging from $30,000 to $40,000 (2 rooms, bathroom and kitchen) plus $12,000 for a...

    Insuring GSXR 600 with 3 minor tickets

    Damn, not the answer I was hoping for. On that note, would chain lube suffice for the anal cavity as it is penetrated by the massive omnipotent shlong of Ontario's insurance companies?

    American riding into Ontario

    What happens when an American rider comes up to Ontario on a motorcycle? Liability insurance on their policy would be less than whats required by ontario law ($200,000).. for example someone from new york city might have $25,000 of coverage; what happens when pulled over/accident? Also, this...

    Planning a trip for next year, looking for input

    I dont have any special bags for the bike.. I just put all my stuff in a gym bag, and throw a cargo net over it. Have my laptop in there too (wrapped in 2-3 garbage bags) This was my set up last year for New York City. It's not ideal, but it works. Plus I get to lean back onto it, which is...

    Planning a trip for next year, looking for input

    I can be flexible with time; maybe even push it to 8 days. I dont really care to see New York too much, (because I grew up there), but the benefit is that I can drop into my condo, rest from the long ride + save on hotels. The only cities I really want to see are Boston and Montreal, because...

    Planning a trip for next year, looking for input

    I’m trying to put together a trip for next year. Last year was my first year riding, and I did a ride down to New York City and back – loved it. This year I am planning a trip which is a bit longer, with more destinations. I will be on my Ninja 250r. It’s a small bike, but handled the ride to...
