    Spring Show Deals?

    I went and it felt like a backyard flea market. The deals dididdididndididdididnt seem very good and the selection was severely limited. I wont be going back.

    Lane filtering might become legal....

    Has their been any updates on this? Last I checked I couldn't find anything. Most of my riding experience is in Italy and Spain, so it would be nice to be able to slowly move up to the front again.

    Red Hill Valley Parkway long term hazard

    There is already a ton of police presence there and has been for years. My in laws live about 5minutes off the RHP, avoiding it to visit when on my bike is about to become a huge pain in the ass. None of this is a big surprise really. I have seen more cars off the road on the RHP then any...

    Where did you ride today? - New rider version

    I picked the bike up in Courtice. Rode up to Eniskillin and a cross to the west side of Bowmanville then back to my parents place in Courtice. After lunch rode to meet my wife near 401 and Avenue, before riding down Bathurst to get home (Fort York). About 130km all in, it was a good day.

    I got sick on Thursday, so my season started today as well. Got 130km in 2 rides this afternoon, and it was perfect.

    37 DAYS TO RIDING SEASON THREAD

    Getting the bike out of storage late tomorrow morning. Should be around 8C by noon, warm enough to get her home. I'll still be wearing a 3 layer suit and cold weather gloves, but that's ok.

    I haven' been to this show before, but if I wanted to buy gear (new jacket and boots) on site, can that be done? If you can buy on at the show, are the prices better?

    WTB - Yamaha FZ07

    I'm looking for an FZ07, ideally stock, but will look at some with Mods depending on whats done to it and the mileage. Am open to colour, but ideally Black or grey with high viz wheels. I'm located in Toronto, but am willing to travel a bit. Justin

    Time to jump in!

    Good to hear, I definitely do not want a SS. If I ever get into tracking then sure, but no need to have a literal death rocket on the street.

    Time to jump in!

    To be honest I'm not sure how big of a difference it is, I just came across this while doing research a little while ago (https://goo.gl/images/3oDcDH), but not knowing a ton it might be negligible.

    Time to jump in!

    I grew up in a smallish town, so after university I had opportunities to ride on the back roads. The first ride I ever took on a street bike was an R1, and even being gentle it terrified me. I dont ever want to climb back on on. The Valkyrie was a couple years ago while back home and the...

    Time to jump in!

    I hear you and appreciate the advice, that's exactly why I am here, for guidance. I'll see where I end up with a bike. I understand how quickly you can get in trouble, but I know and trust myself, I'm no racer. My biggest concern is other drivers, I trust no one on the road. I'll spend more...

    Time to jump in!

    I thought the same thing prior to the course, but one of the instructors, who is also getting an FZ 07, felt I would be fine and didnt raise any concerns with me on that bike. Insurance is the big thing, I've been looking around but nothing is in stone yet.

    Time to jump in!

    Hey All, I've finally decide it is time to jump all in and get my bike, so figured it's a good time to introduce myself. Here is a bit on me and why I decided to start riding. I'm a 35 year old who was recently married living downtown who is heavy into sports (hockey, golf, biking etc)...
