    My bike gave up

    2004 kawasaki ninja. The petcock is set to prime/on. Is that it? Won't use what's left because that's the reserve?

    My bike gave up

    So my bike gave up in the middle of my ride to work this morning while I was going ~80kph on highway 7. Watched the rpms just go down, thankfully I was already in the right lane so I got it on the curb. (And yeah I looked there's still gas in the tank) The first few lights I hit this morning...

    Hey Guys

    Bring the paperwork to the MTO. You'll go to Service Ontario to register your bike/get plates, or if you need to renew your driver's license or get a name/address change.

    Lol I did the same thing today. Of course it didn't actually rain until after I got home! Sounds good!

    New NORTH YORK rider looking to ride with some people :)

    Hurray! I'm actually a bit north of Downsview, off Chesswood. (Monday was the first day I rode my bike to work. Deliberately "forgot" my lunch so I could ride to California Sandwich. It was gloriously delicious.)

    Girlfriend doesn't like motorcycles

    Offer to take her for ice cream (or coffee, or something small that she really likes) that's close by, like a cute little early-relationship date. Or tell her you think she'd look hot on a bike. (If she asks, 'what you don't think I look hot'? and she's NOT joking... it may be time to...

    Where did you ride today? - New rider version

    :D First time taking my bike out (oops, Saturday, haven't had access to Internet since). Went out to see the Cheltenham Badlands, tried to find the Forks of the Credit trail but missed the turn and then we ran out of time and had to beeline it home. Still super fun, will have to try and find it...

    Bought bike from a shady stealership. Need advice.

    Oh I'm sure $250 for that particular jacket was reasonable. What I didn't appreciate was the fact that he was trying to convince us that it was not only the best jacket that we'd find, but it would also be the cheapest (as in, compared to ALL jackets, not just that one model).

    I can't wait to move out of Woodbridge... Insurance stupidity ...

    Oh, the 'bridge is definitely bad. I'd just say that it's not an isolated problem. I live at Bayview/16th and my insurance is just a few bucks more than what my bf pays in Woodbridge. Richmond Hill sucks too. <insert disparaging remark about the heavily stereotyped group of drivers with whom I...

    Bought bike from a shady stealership. Need advice.

    Totally not surprised it's 360. I'm brand spanking new to bikes and that was the first place that popped up in my mind. Boyfriend and I went there (because it's the closest to his house) and that was the first bike shop we'd ever been to. Guy tried to sell bf on a leather jacket, said it was on...

    New rider need advice please

    You could go to a dealer that carries a lot of different bikes and just sit on them before you go out looking at used bikes, just to see what's comfortable. Going into the whole bike thing I thought I'd be buying a CBR250 for sure (because it's prettiest), but I ended up buying a Ninja 250 (the...

    New rider need advice please

    Re: New rider need advice plz To the OP: 1) Definitely do the course. Can't recommend that enough. You'll drop their bike instead of yours! 2) If you're absolutely set on buying on this year, and you're willing to brave the cold, consider buy a used 250 near the end of the season and ride it...

    Bike Friendly Ontario Insurance People [2008 edition!]

    Seamus Kelly (State Farm) definitely is. Both my boyfriend and I just signed up through Janet at his office. I'm paying $900/yr for a 2004 Kawasaki Ninja 250. Every other place I checked (even Riders Plus) quoted me at least $1500.

    New pint-sized rider in Richmond Hill :)

    Jealous! One of the agents I talked to said that Richmond Hill is really bad for insurance, the lowest quote I could get (from State Farm, even with my group discount TD was quoting me almost double) was around $900/yr. I'm not surprised though, my area is full of terrible drivers.
