Aside from courses I would definitely recommend reading 'Proficient Motorcycling' by David L. Hough. I saw it recommended in a reddit thread on /r/motorcycles so I picked it up through Google Play. This is my first riding season so I wanted my head to be in the game and I think this book does a...

Looks like you thought it out, you have the money, you are cautious and even have a friend coming to take a look at the bike... No harm in taking a look at it and never feel pressure to purchase something you are unsure about. Two things to keep in mind: title and engine temperature. Make sure...

I just placed an order from AliExpress for a Chinese knockoff "KMT" (or possibly original manufacturer selling for cheap?)... I will report back in 20-60 days. Price is $85 USD, free shipping plus roughly 25 percent for taxes/ duty so I am expecting to pay $135 CND by the end of it... Link...

nice! wow! I called them after getting my OTD price from Brampton and they wouldn't even entertain moving from I think it was 7,200 (this was back in the middle of December) - well done

6950 and change and were able to include winter storage/ delivery

Just picked up the same bike from Brampton Powersports! C'mon Spring!

Thanks that is a good tip. Mob mentality and all that stuff, I can definitely see how that would be true. Going to checkout a CB500F tomorrow. Price is right, low mileage, etc. very excited.

Great tips, thank you! I will definitely be picking up that book. I am currently watching ride like a pro and twist of the wrist II - both are great if you haven't seen them already.

Morning all, Just passed the M1 Exit course at Humber this past weekend. It was an amazing course, highly recommend for any prospective (no experience) riders to people looking to refresh the basics from some time away. Such a diverse group all weekend, most with no experience (myself included)...

I needed to gear up before my safety course and was local for some turkey at the parents. Being a new rider I wanted to be walked through a bit just to build up my own comfort level with the gear, the fit, etc. Didn't catch the CSR's name but she was awesome. Helped me stay on budget and leave...

Hahaha, I will!

Thanks a lot. I am really looking forward to it. I can't tell if I am nervous or excited, or a balance of both. Either way I will post a follow-up with how the training went!

Long time member but I joined because of my interest in taking up motorcycling. Well I kept putting off getting my license (school/ job/ debt) but I have finally pulled the trigger now that I am in a good place. I successfully passed my M1 this past Saturday and will be registering this Thursday...
