    2022 Day Trips!

    i've always had naked bikes so my point of reference might not matter much, but i find it just fine. its styled like a cafe racer but the handlebars have stock risers on them so they're not aggressively positioned. i have a dart piranha shield on there but thats mainly for cosmetics and probably...

    Your first helmet

    biltwell gringo (non S version) full face was my first helmet. ive since learned that not being able to raise the shield sucks lol. still trying to find the 'perfect' helmet that has retro leanings but has shield detents when you move it up/down. i've been riding with my cheap bell qualifier...

    Anyone use Riders Share in the US?

    i tried using riders share in LA and it was an absolute failure. owners would cancel my reservations at the last minute. happened at least twice. im sure others have had better luck.

    Goodbye Town Moto

    also dont think it helped that licensing for new m2 riders/potential customers was randomly off and on/delayed for years due to covid.

    Goodbye Town Moto

    i'd stay with the cages any day over riding the TTC ever again lol. as for filtering, i will occasionally do it, especially with street cars (obviously not while they're stopped/boarding people). i cant believe this city is still stuck with streetcars on tracks that slow everything down. and...

    Goodbye Town Moto

    its a pain in the ass to get anywhere in this **** city now. im literally surrounded by construction, barely used bicycle lanes, and ugly ass pylon patios that basically turn every major street into a single lane **** show everywhere.

    Goodbye Town Moto

    outside of the golden turtle pho restaurant, ossington is just tourist trash now. just like what queen street has turned into. i started my riding career about 7 years ago by buying a helmet from town moto. sucks that theyre gone but the owners andrew and marika had moved out of the city...

    Another Royal Enfield demo day

    that thread about the bike failure is mine! to be fair, i've yet to hear or read anything about anyone else with the issue i had. i've since gotten a replacement bike and it has been running perfectly fine. though i've only got 6k'ish km on it so far while splitting riding duty with my other...

    M2 Exit Test Tips

    i just did the metro east location a few months ago. i HATE when i'm being watched for doing something i normally do anyway but this was a lot easier than i had anticipated. just put your head on a swivel and make sure you're doing full shoulder checks. depending on the time and day you're...

    Fun roads to ride in Toronto?

    wherever you go, watch out for the stupid ******* automated cameras. i used to do this a loop whenever i wanted to get out but didnt want to take an hour to leave the damn city. its basically rosedale valley + a few other things around it.

    Riding in shorts yes or no???

    have i done it? yes. but literally down the street to pick up some burritos or something. other than that, at a minimum i have regular jeans on (although its questionable whether that even makes a difference vs shorts. i guess the optics just looks better but thats probably it).

    M2 Exit Tips and route for Hurontario Centre (Longside Dr.)

    honestly knowing the route is useless. they will tell you when to turn way ahead of time. and even if you miss a turn somehow, they'll follow you and will course correct. trust me, you are overthinking it. i just did my m2 exit test a few months ago after being delayed for almost 3 years at one...

    Thinking about getting a commuter, ideas welcome...

    100% agree. i've commuted for years and years. riding in and out of toronto every day made me not want to ride bikes at all.
