Goddamnit, nobody said anything about perch on a bun!

Look at some bikes and talk to other riders I guess? I've never been on a bike but I did have the misfortune of having to drive through the city on a friday the 13th and that traffic is DEFINITELY not worth it for me.

Some people say to change the oil after the very first ride. I've never bought a bike new, but if I did id probably do an oil change after the first good ride, again at 300-500 and again at 1000kms. Why not, oil changes are cheap if you do them yourself. Get all that metal out of there early...

The difference between the cbr500 and 300s is minimal. Essentially the 500 is a slightly bigger started bike with slightly more oomph. It would be a good starter bike for someone your weight. Theres a bigger difference between the 500 and a 600 or 650 than there is between a 300 and the cbr500...

Oh I see. Cool little trick, but I also think you would get pulled over quickly.

For those of us that didnt see the ad before it was taken down, what was it? Kinda curious now

Yes, you look where you want to go, probably the most important thing I learned from the m1 course, I would probably have wrecked a half dozen times by now if I didnt remember that rule, but its not THAT sensitive as youre imagining. Its not like if youre riding in a straight line and you look...

Who cares? Tell her your lights are bright so people like her see you on the road and dont kill you. This thread can be summarized as "someone in traffic did something stupid today". Happens everyday and its nothing to worry about.

Manitoba could give out free ducati's to residents and I still wouldnt move there.

I get it, man, I really do, and again, just want to reiterate im on your side and i hope things work out. But I have 2 things to say to that: #1 Just because you can get up, doesnt mean you should. You could have all sorts of injuries you arent aware of. Internal bleeding, broken bones, etc...

Always call 911. Ive been screwed over so many times by not doing this. Police, fire, ambulance. You want all 3. Ideally you should just lie on the ground and not move until one of the 3 get there and can put a brace on you, because you never know what might be messed up. If you had called, the...

Yes, this is needed for accuracy and such

This. It will be an uphill battle for the cops to get the charges to stick.

Should be about 3k. Plus or minus a couple hundred bucks. Get a quote for a litre bike if you want to have a laugh.

Theyve been doing this in ottawa for awhile. My car was in a hit and run while parked last summer in ottawa, and I called the police and they just told me to bring it down to the station they arent sending anyone out. They had a square marked out in the parking lot out back. You just drive your...

Always always always get a police report or insurance wont do ****. You should be able to go right down to the police station. If any of the paint is scratched its gonna be over 1k

^^^ Thats a great deal on what looks like a really clean fz6. If I didn't already have one I'd scoop that up. With negotiation thatll probably be the same as I paid for my 05 with the same kms

Huh, well thats good to know. Yep, I got my current bike safetied at a shop that only works on Jeeps. I wouldnt take my bike to a bike shop for a safety because I can bet theyre going to tell me I need to buy a bunch of stuff off them to pass safety. If you just go to canadian tire or...

What the bikes are listed for and what they sell for are very different. Also, lots of ridiculously overpriced bikes out there. Not sure who is buying them, but theres a sucker born every minute so i guess its possible.

Do you have a link to anything that says this? I bought my bikes in the winter and had them safetied months later, so maybe I wouldnt know about this 14 day thing. I'm a little skeptical tho
