First time hearing about riders-share, thanks for the info :)

This winter I was reading through some of the older trips. There is so much to read. I couldn't cover a lot but I have bookmarked a few for later. Shane definitely has every info that we will ever need but I would also search the older threads. Just saying... OP - good luck with your trip...

Wow, nice pic. The road (from the little I can see), the scenery...beautiful. Every time I hear Nevada, the first thing that pops up in my mind is Road Rash. For renting a bike, I'm guessing your Ontario license was good enough? I have never rented a bike in the US (and in Canada for that matter).

I guess people don't usually take chances on helmets, which is understandable. I have a pair of Bogotto boots which was cheap and I have had it for almost 2 years now. Waterproof and works fine.

While we're talking about fc moto, anyone used Bogotto helmets? ECE and DOT rating and they're 46% off.

You're doing good, you're doing the right things - asking questions and making yourself aware. Tons of info in here and some good folks and some crazy ones ;) Good luck!

Not to forget that you get a discount if you have done the safety course via an institute. Pays for itself. Added benefit is that you get to try out a bunch of bikes before deciding which one to buy. It's expensive but I think it's a good idea to do a safety course (M1X) especially since you're...

Welcome to the forum! Now I can say I know a real Canuck, no pun intended. The first sentence gets me a bit worried, new to riding and group rides. I'd suggest ride alone at your own pace until you're familiar with your bike and it's controls. Group rides are fun but can be a bit risky because...

Hi Harry, Good to have you here. Welcome to the forum!

If I were you I would take a good look at the senders profile here and see if they have any activities on the forum. Previously, I have had some people respond to my ads, which I was sure of being spams.

Probably the same one I stayed last time when I went out to Calabogie. If it's the same one, then the host is really nice.

@Saitou^.~ I might be interested in Racer 5/Fast. I potentially may not be around in summer due to work and other stuff (Jun-Aug), but I should be good for Fall (Sep-Nov). I'm just looking to do Introductory course/Phase 1. Please feel free to nudge me if you got anything going for those...

Welcome to the forum! All great advise here when it comes to picking up your first bike. Your M2 test (assuming you're taking a safety course from an institute) should allow you to try on multiple bikes. So, if you prefer one style over the other you'll know. I would definitely recommend...

Welcome to the forum! See you around.

Welcome to the forum!!

I have a HWK pant, below is the armour that came with it (yellow ones). The black is from my Dianese. Like @Klaatu mentioned, the armour isn't great. Not complaining - I used it for a season and I paid less than 50 bucks for it.

I'm pretty sure if I say I went to North Pole @Lightcycle would respond with an image of him riding there. Not jealous at all.

Under normal riding circumstances, you will be putting yourself at risk if you do that. I would keep my legs on the peg until the bike comes to a stop. My above comment was meant on a lighter note. If you're racing, all of the above + looks cool. :)

Doctor's dangle... I do it sometimes to make me feel better lol.
