    Biker Cafe Idea - need some feedback from all of you

    I had read that the Harley cafe was only meant to be there temporarily - not a permanent venture. It was set-up to promote the Harley brand, since there are no Harley dealers in TO. They were hoping to capitalize on the Ossington scene and demographic as a way of making Harley the choice of new...

    Stolen 2008 Suzuki GSXR600

    I don't see the gate, but regardless, it won't matter if they enlarge it (unless it's a metal gate. My building's wooden gate gets broken regular by residents, never mind thieves. Having had one bike stolen (from the street), my feeling is they will get it if they want it, doesn't matter how...

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    Traffic light at Bayview and Moore Thursday night. Didn't see what you were riding because of your bright headlight, but you had on a blue/white Joe Rocket jacket. You pulled up next to me and asked how to get to Leslie. I said go right at the next intersection, which I was thinking was...

    Going to Italy! Looking for hotel suggestions for Rome! :)

    Have you considered joining AirBnB? I've used it for trips to Portugal and Belgium, I highly recommend it. Way cheaper than any hotel for a full apartment.

    Call to legalize lane splitting/filtering

    Lane splitting is big in Los Angeles. I rented a car there and was totally unprepared for the number of riders that would suddenly shoot up the side of the car. I can't imagine that working here with the number of drivers who impulsively change lanes without signaling or checking their blind...

    Leathers are hard!

    Like a new pair of shoes, best way to break them in is to wear them. They'll conform to your body in all the right places. It won't take that long before they're comfortable. I just started wearing a Schott horsehide cafe racer and thought it would take months to soften the very stiff leather...

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    Wednesday, around 6:15pm, looked like a cafe racer headed north on Bathurst from Lakeshore. All it takes is just a taste of mild weather to get out there!

    rider down at kipling and steeles

    Why didn't the police take off after him? Or did they? Not doubting the story, just trying to figure out why the cops didn't pursue or alert any other police in the area.

    Full leather for street riding stupid?

    I wear full leathers as a rule, and think they look cool anyway. You don't have to opt for something too colorful that looks like a Power Rangers suit, there are lots of choices out there. I learned the value of wearing leather when I took a corner at a low speed and wiped out on a patch of...

    Heading to Rome - Where to shop

    If you do buy anything, inquire from the sales staff about getting the receipt stamped for a refund on the VAT (Value added tax) paid. Depending on the country, the refund only applies to a minimum amount or higher. You can either get the refund at the airport or mail it in with the envelope...
