    Insurance for 30+ year old bikes

    I'm buying a 32 year old motorcycle and I've found some of the same problems. I'm with TD for my home car and other motorcycle, but they wouldn't even consider it because the bike is over thirty years old. I then tried Dalton Timmis Insurance brokers because they have a program for vintage...

    City of Toronto motorcycle parking exemptions/ammendments

    I have emailed my councillor and the mayor (mayor_ford@toronto.ca). I suggest people write their own emails, but here is what I wrote: I am a new motorcyclist having obtained my licence in 2011. I ride a 250 cc motorcycle that gets outstanding gas mileage, conserving gasoline and polluting less...

    Kingston Road and Woodbine

    The angles and sightlines are especially bad at this intersection and people unfamiliar with it can be caught by surprise. The rider is 27 years old and I'm not sure how long he's been riding b

    Kingston Road and Woodbine

    A very dangerous intersection close to my home. A rider heading westbound on Kingston Road ran into an eastbound car turning left onto Woodbine. The rider's brother was at the scene and said the rider's ok, but the bike looks like a write off. A brand new Red Honda CB500 picked up yesterday...

    Busted cam shaft...

    I just had the rear cams go on my 2008 Hyosung gv250. I was riding home and pulled into a parking lot to buy something and as I was shutting off the bike I heard a nasty grinding noise. Clattered like crazy when I restarted it so I had it towed. I didn't go to a Hyosung dealer because its too...

    Rider down

    I drive by there everyday. Pedestrians can be really careless, crossing without looking. I hope they're ok.

    Rider Down - And I'll tell you what happened

    sure then you let off the brake and have to reapply more gradually, meanwhile your bike keeps moving toward the crash. And that assumes you aren't in so much of a panic that you have a death grip on the brakes. I've successfully managed lots of emergency stops, but who knows what I would do with...

    Port Dover

    Good to hear he's ok. I was with a group at the Hagersville legion hall when someone told us there had been a motorcycle accident on highway 6 and so we took an alternate route home. My guess is the driver tried to beat the bikes across the road. There were so many bikes it couldn't have been...

    Rider down on O'Connor Drive

    That sounds painful, but it could have been worse. I hope that they throw the book at the driver. GWS and good luck with the bike.

    Keele and Finch, rider down!

    I'll bet it doesn't feel minor, but you're right it could have been a lot worse. GWS.

    Anyone riding today?!

    I don't know where some of you guys are finding snow. This is GTA motorcycle group, right? I put my bike into storage back on January 1 because there was some cold weather in the forecase and I figured I was done for the season. What a mistake. We've hardly had a winter at all this year. I went...
