I'll be there! Need to do some shoppin. Is it just because I'm a web designer or does that website need a serious redesign. That's a rhetorical question for anyone that is wondering.

Thanks for all the feedback. It's given me a lot to think about. @infernobuster aka thetoyhauler I'll hit you up for a quote over PM.

I have a friend that's keen to do the trip. I just don't know if I'm ready. Thanks for the tie down advice. I just assumed you needed a wheel chock.

I bought my first bike in Ottawa last fall. I planned on riding it back to Toronto this spring but the winter lay off and my lack of experience has me worried that it might be too long of a trip. I am looking in to other options to get it down here. I got a quote on automoves.ca and it was...

Thanks for all the advice everyone. Being a newbie I'll probably end up at the moto shop and get talked into Pitbull stands and pay way more money than I have. I'll see what else they offer. That bike is tiiiiiiiight.

Do bikes stands fit most bike models? I have a Ninja 250 and would like to put it on stands for the winter. If I buy the CT stands will they fit?

IF there is someone out there doing this, filtering should be the least of the police officer's worries. http://www.youtube.com/embed/8-fHJIw6Lh4

I'm not going to lie, my building isn't the most secure and not in the safest neighbourhood. There are about 7-8 bikes in the garage now and at least 4 of them are SS. I have an 09 Ninja 250. I assume that parking in the garage of a condo will increase my premium? I'm curious what everyone else...

I really appreciate you taking the time to explain this all to me. I think there is some confusion about what I want to do and can afford to do. My bike is in Ottawa. That's a 6-7 hour ride away (I'm a beginner and feel that length of ride is a bit intimidating when my only riding experience is...

Awesome guys! Thanks for all the advice. The December show looks like a spectacle for the big brands. The January show looks like a lot more smaller players. So pumped to see those custom bikes and the 'accessories' aren't too shabby I must say.

Hey Katherine, Ya it's clear. I don't plan on cancelling my policy next fall. I'm just going to pretend that I didn't buy a bike. Therefore I have no reason to start an insurance policy now. I know that I can't get fire/theft only so I'm assuming the risk. It will be 7 months before my bike is...

Thanks for the advice. I was able to register the bike today as FIT but unplated. My bike is in the back of a garage behind a car in a very residential area of the city so I feel it is less of a target for theft. At least now I have some time to shop around for insurance although your sticky...

One stop shopping is a great point. I live right downtown and to get out to the stores in the burbs is a PITA. :)

That would be awesome if time and money permitted but I'm also asking because a friend might come from out of town. I guess I should leave GTAM and find out everything for myself. Why be on a message board with strangers that tell me to stop asking for their opinions.

Since I'm new to the sport I'd like to get your thoughts on the 3 big motorcycle shows in Toronto. I've never been to any of them but have been told you can get some great deals on gear. So what are your experiences at the following: North American International Motorcycle Supershow...

Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me. I just had the Ah Ha! moment. I didn't realize that this was all based on my request for Fire and Theft. So I understand now that I'm SOL for getting Fire and Theft without a full policy. I will just have to assume the risk and if the bike...

I think I'm really missing something basic because I can't follow this logic. I realize that insurance will cost the same amount regardless of when I start it but like rent, cellphone or other monthly payments, why would I start to pay for insurance during the months I'm not going to use the...

I fully intend to keep insurance on the bike next winter and every winter after. I bought the bike in Ottawa and I live in Toronto and couldn't ride it back this weekend. I am fine with not riding this year because I won't have to pay for parking in my building, won't have to buy gear and was...

Thanks for the help guys. So I'll be paying the full monthly amount if I purchase a full policy. I'm trying to save cash and looks like the only way to do that is to register the bike as 'unfit' and not plate it. This is a real downer because I paid for the bike safetied and now I'll have to...
