I got one installed because I was tired of drivers ignoring the wimpy stock horn. Now I find I get about as much respect as a car when someone is lane-changing without looking and I give it to them. I had a mod horn put on my Toyota Echo years ago and it sounded like an 18-wheeler. I got...

Major thanks and big up to the OP - Emefef for the post and the pictures and Red Harley for note on my bike. Mine is the white BMW and I ran into the owner of the black Yamaha when we got to our bikes around 5:45pm today. The scooter was still there (but not Red Harley) and we guess that a...

I've done 5 tours with Edelweiss. They are awesome. They take care of everything and all you have to do is just ride and enjoy. The only weak parts are (1) if you ride with the group, the ride will be tailored to the weakest rider in the group (to avoid accidents) so if you're really skilled...

Dude - awesome!

I recently took the Advanced Road Craft motorcycle course as it was promoted by BMW Motorrad. Great course! The course is geared toward handling your motorcycle in an urban environment, as opposed to track. If you're looking to improve your lap time, this isn't the course. It is, however, a...

Try the "Coop" store on Yonge Street, a half dozen streets north of Lawrence, on the East side. They are a discount high-end mens wear store but have legit Belstaff motorcycle riding jackets as well as the motorcycle-styled jackets available at Harry Rosen.

I park downtown in an area that is frequented by motorcycles. Generally, I'm an early riser and get there early. If given the opportunity, I park in such a way to "block" cars from parking there for a couple of reasons: (1) bike/scooter parking density is much higher so by doing this I'm doing...

I've placed my order for a windshield and will probably get one of these hockey neck guards. A cheap price to pay for peace of mind. http://www.sportchek.ca/family/index.jsp?categoryId=11484283

City to vote on ban on kites with hazardous strings: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/story/2011/05/27/toronto-kite-ban.html Please guys and gals - email your councillor (find them here: http://app.toronto.ca/wards/jsp/wards.jsp) and urge them to vote for the ban. Sample email below...

I don't know for sure what happened, but kite string (from a cut kite) is the only explanation so far that works, so I believe it. The reasoning: 1. If it was some string/wire strung across the road (clothesline), at neck height, it would have been taken out by a minivan or pickup truck since...

Thanks everyone for your views and good wishes. And special thanks to Torontoboy for solving the mystery. I'm sure it was a kite string. I've got to think that it was really just unlucky to get hit like that. And I had full gear on, including full-face helmet. I'd hate to think what could...

Hey everyone, Around 2:30pm today I was riding northbound on Bayview, just south of the Rosedale Valley turn off when I felt a burning pain on the front of my neck. It felt like I hit a string clothesline or something. I didn't lose balance, pulled over and collected myself. Just shaken a...

This is called "competition" in the language of capitalism. Maybe there's an argument to buy Ontario wine rather than California or French wine, but when the same bike is made from the same factory and the price is artificially inflated because that's the "Canada" price vs. the "USA" price I...
