    Motorcycles 508

    I ordered online www.motorcycles508.com because they had some rediculously well-priced Shark RSI helmets (with purchase, shipping, and getting slapped with taxes and broker fees at the border, still was under $300). Transaction was simple, was shipped the next day (July 26), and arrived here...

    They're calling for thunder showers, but if that changes, I'll join.

    Cleaning/washing my first bike for the very first time

    Also, lose the leaf blower and clothes business and buy yourself a chammy. You won't end up with streaks that way. http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/4/Auto/CarWashingCleaning/ChamoisTowels/PRDOVR~0429637P/Jumbo%252BChamease%252BChamois%252BCloths.jsp?locale=en

    Cleaning/washing my first bike for the very first time

    There's a big debate on that one. Personally, I prefer to run it, then clean it, then lube (step 5 before 4) but it's really up to you. I've heard it done both ways.

    Herald Rd. - torn up

    I think I took this between Woodbine and Warden yesterday as well, but it was paved (although, not very well). Which section were you on that was torn up?

    Quiet helmets? - this might come as a surprise

    I agree with Rob, this might be an interesting statistic, but it's irrelevant when you wear ear plugs :)

    Short ride tonight

    Meet at Major Mac & 400 Esso (west side of 400) for 6:00. Route is about 2.5 hours so I expect us to be back in TO before dark. Post up or PM me if you're coming. No highways involved, but you must be comfortable with your riding abilities.

    Interactive map - Ontario - Construction, Closures, Traffic

    Missing a few, such as Southwood, and Ravenscliffe; but a good tool nonetheless

    Elephant Lake Road

    The first 50 km/h zone is littered with a huge dumping of gravel that lasts until it hits 60 again; then, there's scattered gravel all over the rest of Elephant lake and Peterson's roads. Not a good ride unless you're there for sightseeing

    Will I never ride?

    Agreed. Focus on finishing 1 licence first, then go for your M1. I got my bike at 23 and bled a bit of cash for it, but I felt it was worth it and that I could afford it. If those 2 conditions aren't met by the insurance quote you get, then wait. Also, you may want to try getting a separate...

    New to this site, looking for ppl to ride in ajax, pickering

    Welcome, Binny and Sabina. Best bet for finding rides is in the rides/hookups section, or send me a PM any evening or weekend and I'll ride with you.

    carrying extra helmet while riding

    I just attach mine to the helmet holder (located under the passenger seat) and it just sits flush up against the side of the bike, no matter what I do.

    Construction - Ravenscliffe Road

    Road is all torn up in Ravenscliffe itself, but not through the twisties or on Stisted. 518 has a little gravel on a couple of corners, but generally clean. 632 is really clean.

    HJC helmets

    LOL, kinda. It showed up in a Google search somehow, so I was curious. Felt the need to comment after reading :p

    HJC helmets

    If you're questioning the safety of an HJC vs. an Arai or Shoei, you should probably have a look at this site: http://sharp.direct.gov.uk/ It only has European models (so some of them we don't get, others they don't get, and some of them are named differently) but it really reinforces that a...

    Pannon Sports

    Maybe the guy at the shop when I went was having a bad day or something. I went in there to look at buying a Shark helmet and, after trying it on and deciding I wanted one, started reading the labels on the boxes in the showroom for other colour options I had. Apparently, I'm not allowed to do...

    First crash - Need advice

    Can you clarify a bit? I do not have at fault damage coverage on my vehicle. Because there was no other vehicle involved, does this mean I should not put in a claim and should go directly after GO? Do I get a deductable quote from my insurer? Do I need a repair quote before doing any of this...

    First crash - Need advice

    When you say it, it makes sense. Wish it would have been my first instinct, LOL.

    First crash - Need advice

    So, I was heading to the GO station parking lot in Whitby and had just turned down the entrance and started going around a corner when I realized that they had placed wooden beams across the entire thing, that were nailed into the asphault to allow them to run a hose from one side to water the...
