At Port Dover last July 13th I went to get off my bike and left the kickstand up. Felt like a total fool.... Until I witnessed someone else do the very same thing 15 minutes later! Another time I stopped in someone's driveway to change my gloves and stretch a bit. Got off the bike and left it...

I wouldn't worry too much about "outgrowing" your first bike. If you start small you are able to control it easier, pick it up if you drop it, etc. You'll get a lot of different opinions here about what is the best starter bike, only you can know for certain what is best for you. Keep in mind...

My total riding investment including bikes, gear, MSF course, licensing, insurance etc for 2 riders, is still way cheaper than therapy.

I hear you. I wish there was some place at the store where you could experience wind noise in the helmet before buying. I just picked up an HJC IS-16 (not modular) and the 2 air vents on above the visor are quite loud even when closed. If I put duct tape over them the volume level drops...

That would explain why the bike mysteriously stood up.

First of all cudo's for recognizing that you are making mistakes and seeking advice! You've already received some excellent advice here, I'd just like to add a bit to help if I may Memorizing is only useful for passing tests in school. You haven't learned it. Riding is a skill, and the only...

Who did you buy the bike for, You or the next guy? It's your bike, do what you want to with it. Enjoy it and make it your own.

Didn't Cycleworld or someone have a bunch of these for sale last fall. $800 to $900 as is, or $1500 with all the parts put back on them? Who knows how many miles are on them. Sounds like someone is trying to turn it into money Still, not a bad deal, but I'd offer $1600

You don't happen to get your fuel at ESSO do you? The tiger wants out

@rnoodles; In the Hamilton area, 3 good shops for safeties that I've dealt with are Ultimate Cycle at Barton and Nash had two bikes safetied there. Kelly's Cycle Centre on Upper Wellington and 9731 Mechanical on Dickenson Road in Mount Hope. All are reasonable prices range between $60 and $90.

Can't see any reason why a Miata shouldn't be able to tow 2 motorcycles...

I just sold my Virago XV250 to a beginner rider on the east end. I found it would do the speed on the highway but there wasn't anything left in reserve if you needed to get out of the way. Isn't the speed of traffic on 400 series in and around the GTA something more like 40 to 60km/h most of...

Wish I could buy insurance in the states and have it shipped up here ;)

I've had 4 bikes and about 25 cars over the years. When buying used I've found it about 50% that the owners manual is still with the vehicle, and 50% getting both keys (and remotes if available). Usually you can download the owners manual from the manufacturer's website. Yamaha has an excellent...

D'oh! You are so right! 2x8 or 2x10 would be better!! Last time I rented one it was about $25 per hour plus a refundable deposit.

Home Depot and Lowes rent vans... Buy a 2x4 then rent the van, pick up the bike, get it safetied, load back into the van, go to MTO get license plate and ownership changed go back to Lowes, unload bike in inconspicuous location, return van keys then ride home

Definitely respect!!
