Wondering if anyone has any other firsthand experience with these tyres and what they think of them. I have 800kms on mine so far, but every single ride it's a coin flip to how well they work for me. More than anything they just seem to be a little wobbly or slide around at the rear. Other times...

This happened to me this year. Was quoted by the broker $890 for the year, gave VIN and everything. Signed all the documents, had a temp pink slip, bought and registered the bike - all good. Get an email a few days later that the broker double checked with the insurance company I was quoted and...

Wasnt sure where to post ( mods can move this if need be ). Not sure who watches Moto3 but he was a very young and promising rider, sad to see happen.

Then you're getting into the necessity of wearing seatbelts or not as well.

https://ibb.co/vYtVByY That's the jacket you want ;).

The Sikhs riders lobbied and got it changed in BC first which became the precedent in Canada. Anyone that's been or lived in BC knows its predominantly Sikhs living their now anyhow. One of their biggest claims was that they wore turbans during World Wars and they were proficient in stopping...

For what you're looking to pay for in insurance it would make more sense to buy a newer more reliable bike. Like it's been stated parts can be hard to find and who knows how many hands this bike has been through and what its maintenance history is like. I'd spend the extra bit of money to get...

My old 2006 Honda CBR 600RR. I've ridden 600cc bikes from all the major jap brands but this Honda blew me away. Tons of power, amazing weight to power ratio, and was able to tear up any corner with so much confidence. Never had a single tire slip, and I loved the undertail exhaust setup.

Anyone actually had to use one of these vests? I know they are standard now in motoGP but was wondering if anyone had personal experience with them.

It will, but the bike weighs so little it just doesnt feel comfortable being on a highway. I personally feel the most dangerous place you can be on a motorcycle is in traffic. I like to be fast enough to constantly be a bit ahead with some middle ground. Whenever I'm on a bike where vehicles are...

I suppose if you're using that around town then sure - I'd consider that more of a scooter than a motorcycle. Maybe its just me but I find anything below a 600cc to be a death trap on a highway. A friend bought a 250cc Kawi from Brampton and I rode it back to Peterborough for him as he didn't...

I've always hated the "well just...don't speed..." argument. Under that logic every vehicle on the road should have a speed limiter that reacts at about 130km/h. The fact that we have cars and motorcycles that can easily hit well over 200 km/h is kind of ridiculous if it's theoretically never...

Not all the time. Just because I want to ride a Hayabusa, or a Kawi H2 doesn't mean Im looking to ride it to the pin all day every single day. Also doesn't mean I have a death wish. The fact my bike has 4x the insurance premium as a Suzuki B King that has the same 1300cc engine, but is...

It was a few years back now... maybe 10 or so, but I remember a post in the rides hookup section about a bunch of spirited riders all getting together to ride the 507. Had like 20 - 30 people all geared to go from the GTA, only to find out when they got there the OPP were all setup and waiting...

Well, with full coverage Im looking at $4200. If 2 years of insurance costs more than the price of my motorcycle I feel we have a fuckin problem. Unless they want to buy me a new motorcycle every 2 years because I drove like a saint then I say the premium is bogus.

Agreed. Im more angry at the fact I was quoted $874 for the year from this broker. Asked her again if she is sure she tells me yes, VIN and everything checks out. I figured it was too good to be true, but.....OK sign all the paperwork - buy the bike, get it registered to wake up this morning to...

Yea I called them - they want the M but no one is doing road tests due to COVID....sooo.....screw me I guess. Called around all day. Allstate, Riders Choice, Personal, Standard and the best quote I got was from Desjardin for $2700 a year. Pretty insane for a mature rider with an M2 and a clean...

Nah starts with an A lol. It's a 2010 Hayabusa. Been riding for awhile. Had my M2 years ago and let it lapse. Went and got it again 3 years ago and got the newish bike. Crazy how insurance is changed. Even when I bought my R6 with an M1 just 12 years ago I was paying like $50 a month. Then a...

I guess she did. Not sure how when I gave the VIN number and everything and we went back and fourth for over a month. Insurance in Ontario is such a joke.

I went ahead with Wawanesa cause they gave me a good motorcycle quote. I bought the motorcycle, was issued a temporary insurance card and transferred the motorcycle over in my name. Now I got an email saying they dont insure sport bikes and they are severely hiking up my insurance costs and...
