Awesome advice Robbo, almost forgot Ohhh I feel like a dork now. My motorcycle is so stock that my Ram Mount is the most expensive mod hahahaha I think the trip will come out to about 1800km, within 5 days. I got new Michelin Pilot in June, last oil change about 1000km ago (do you think I...

This never happened to me before and didn't expect it to happen on a 6 yr-old bike. Wondering if anyone else here had the same issue before Motorcycle was left in the underground parking spot for 2 weeks. 2012 CBR250 w/ 10000km. 1. Went to start the bike this morning, it fires up perfectly as...

Thank you everyone for your suggestions, I feel more confident for the ride down already. Hey PP, by paperwork I assume its insurance/ownership/driver's license, what about equipment?

Thanks Mac! I didn't factor in the traffic It is going to be a short trip. 5 days - Fri to Tues. Day 1-3 Catskills, Day 4 ride in Placid then head up to Quebec. Day 5 ride home. If I want to be in Catskills by 6pm, how early do you think I should leave home?

Hello everyone, Its my second season riding and I am planning a trip to the Catskill & Lake Placid. Wondering if anyone's been there that can give a newbie some guidance? Toronto -> Catskills. Planning to go through Buffalo, any scenic routes you guys recommend? On my way back I'd like to go...

Thank you brothers and sisters, the issue has been resolved. My buddy is helping me out with his SUV and I watched a couple videos on how to secure the bike on a trailer. To everyone who offered to ride my bike home, you guys are the best and are making this community stronger

Yes the injury is pretty bad, I can't even get in a car, so even if someone offer to ride the bike for me I can't even drive you back. Thanks everyone, I'll try to ask a friend to tow the trailer for me or rent a cargo van

Thank you guys, I own two compact cars and I don't think they will be able to tow the weight of the bike+trailer. I did look into uHaul and they offer the larger trucks for a little bit more (around $29 for 6 hours), can I secure the bike into a 15' truck? If so what other items do I need to...

Hi Everyone, I recently injured myself in the gym, and I think my riding season has ended early for this year. My original plan was to ride the bike to my parents house or a winter storage space to put it away for the winter, but due to my condition I don't think I can ride the bike to the...

I'd like to get some new apparels for the next riding season, in your experience when is the time that stores offer the biggest discounts? Black Friday? Boxing Day? During the dead of winter (Jan/Feb)? Looking for the following: Helmet, pants, boots, electronics (ex. sena), accessories (ex...

Enjoyed your video Rory, can't wait for your next video. On a beginner bike right now but eventually I want to get a V7 like yours. What software did you use to outline your routes @ 3:15 of your video?

To the group I waved @ The forks. As I put my hand back to the handle bar I pressed the horn by mistake, I didn't mean to honk at you, million apologies. I was riding alone on a red cbr250

A motorcyclist in southern China reacted in a rather unusual way to being stopped by police at the weekend: he performed an elaborate dance and then karate kicked one of the officers. According to a report by Thepaper.cn, the man, who was not identified, was stopped as part of a routine check...

I just stumbled upon this article today: https://drivetribe.com/p/start-changing-gear-correctly-fZopTnMZTCuAmevIE317-Q?iid=WccTL5MaRFq9zw6mh3goqw Basically it is saying we shouldn't pull in the clutch for upshifts. I never knew about this, they didn't teach this technique at the MSF course...

Will do once my skills are polished enough ��

I was originally looking for a 650 because everyone I met told me I will outgrow a 250/300 quickly, until I discovered this forum and the threads about starter bikes. Very happy with the 250 right now and I'm glad I listened to the advise from members on this forum. There were a few instances...

+1 on Frekeguy, he's in Brampton too

All good suggestions, will go look around this weekend Fixed the grammatical error too, learned something new everyday

Gear for tiny people I got my first and only riding jacket when I attended the m1x course. I picked the JR Phoenix 11.0 because it was on sale and I didn't know much about riding gear, it was the smallest size (xs) available as well. Now that I wear them almost daily I've realized there's alot...

noob here, still don't understand what happened before OP arrives to the scene. Guess I'll avoid large group rides for now LOL
