    407ETR Average Trip

    ^^^ What he said. I never take the 407. My personal theory is if it was never used, they wouldn't be able to collect money from it and it would end up reverting to the province as a bad investment. Good luck with that though, too many sheep willing to pay for something we have already paid for...

    First time bike owner and new forum member

    I bet you could change out the fork yourself. There really isn't much holding them in place. Just clamped in the triple tree and the axle bolt on the wheel plus accessory mounting brackets etc. Getting it perfectly aligned after is a bit tricky though there are youtube videos explaining the...

    Beginning my biking life in Canada

    Hi Leon, I think what we are all trying to say is, call around for insurance. Ask for a rate based on having just your M1 , ask what it will be if you have an M2 then ask what it will be if you have the riding course and your M2. In general taking the M1 exit class and getting your M2 means you...

    Advice for first 2up Ride...

    Both are correct to a point, the problem is telling a passenger to lean usually means that they lean way too far. I have found that if my passenger keeps their shoulders in line with mine and puts their head to the inside of the turn we are both happier for the experience.

    help please..I need insurance

    Aw man that hurts. If you can afford it, see if you can get a 250 for the rest of this season, at least until you've had your M2 for a few months. In September 2011 I started with a 250 and in March of 2012 I picked up a Virago 1100. My insurance went from $650 per year to $1200 per year. BTW...

    Where to buy plate cover?

    You can get them free at your motorcycle dealer. (Typically they have the dealer's name and phone number/website address on them.)

    Dropped my bike today...

    Everyone drops their bike at one time or another. Just be thankful you weren't at Port Dover with several thousand other bikers watching you dismount without putting the kick stand down first because you were distracted by the pretty lady across the street....
