My jackets all have the armor inserts, but The back protectors are pretty basic rubber inserts. I can't see them doing very much to help in a crash. I'd be interested in hearing what people think about premium protect for street bikes.
Wow, I had thought about storing it in the house but I don't have much room and I would need a ramp to get it up the steps. Living room? That would make a statement I'm hoping for less than three months if we can ride January 1 maybe we will be riding again March 1.
I took lessons in April and got my license after breaking my shoulder on my first attempt in September 2010. It went much better in 2011 and I bought my own bike in May. I started riding it every chance I got and put about 5300 km on it by the time I finally put it into storage earlier today...
I've been holding off on putting my bike into storage because we've had such a mild winter so far. I don't have a garage or shed to store it in so I haveto store it away from home. I toolk it for a ride yesterday to warm it up to change the oil, but I had so much fun I decided to wait. Looking...
Re: Motorcycle Parking in Toronto
The only fair way to charge motorcyclist for street parking is to put a transponder or RFID on the bike, perhaps as part of the license plate. The city could then charge per hour at a reduced rate and with less risk of the tag being stolen. unless they're...

I was surprised to hear that this issue is being revisited as a means of earning...
it can happen pretty easily. When I first took the safety course last year I locked the front wheel and hit down hard on my shoulder breaking it in four places. I was wearing a textile jacket with armor and it didn't help. I spent the winter in physiotherapy and retook the course in April. It...
Could there have been two accidents at the same location! The bike I saw sure didn't look like a Harley to me (although i was at a distance in the northbound lanes) and I saw it at noon. It should have been long gone by the afternoon rush hour.
Either way this hasn't been in the news so it's...
I was riding northbound at about 12 today and the traffic was backed up approaching York Mills. There were fire trucks and police in the southbound lanes and a tow truck hoisting a white sports bike with a crane at the beginning of the off ramp. I didn't get a good enough look to pick out the...
I can't see stunting on a scooter style bike, but maybe you could do some tricks with the power assist on a bicycle style ebike. In the end it will probably only give ebikes more of a bad name. Then what will you ride when your motorcycle license is suspended?
