    Wanting to try trail riding, any suggestions on bike?

    I wouldn't get too hung up on the S or SM for the DRZ. Just get whichever is the better deal for you. I can almost guarantee this won't be your forever or only bike. I believe you'll learn from it and then get a better bike for what you end up enjoying more.

    Wanting to try trail riding, any suggestions on bike?

    You've gotten mostly great advice so far. My riding experience started on a DRZ400 because I thought it was a great inbetween bike. After the first year doing the Bethany ride and some other ODSC rides, I realized I really preferred single track. And after riding from Brampton to the Ganny...

    Holy crap. I feel it started out so well, but as the future was more and modified, it just got dumber and dumber. My partner and I laugh and say the writing could be done by a 12 year old. It's so simple and predictable. The acting is good (even though we both want Ed to just die and piss...

    Has the city lost it's mind...

    I don't live in Toronto, but I'm curious if the sidewalks get cleared before the streets? In Brampton, the sidewalks would get cleared the next day, maybe. I do understand the issue people are having, but I think they're just treating the bike lanes the same as the roads, which I think get...

    Benching ZX10R, buying KLX300 for a year's use.

    My partner and I had a blast doing the Pickaxe loop on our GROM's.

    Stocks

    After doing lots of research a few years ago, I started buying ETF's. Since I was with Scotia, I opened a trading account there, and within that, and RRSP and TFSA. You can certainly open up a trading account with whatever bank you're with, but I would suggest just doing it online, or calling...

    Small displacement motorcycle insurance

    Blue plated (on road) bikes have no issues. It's only green plated (off road). Source: My partner and I have GROM's.

    Benching ZX10R, buying KLX300 for a year's use.

    I'm curious how you think a 300cc bike won't survive? I have a GROM and I'll take that everywhere except 100km/hr roads. Sure, I won't get where I'm going fast, and I'll take all the side roads, but isn't that what you want to do on a bike? If you're shooting straight up on the highway, the...

    Right of way, Wrong?

    I don't know the law, but I would say you're wrong. In my view, what you're referring to is an intersection with two stop signs. So those facing stop signs have to stop, while the others don't. So I think, just like a four way stop, it should be treated like that for anyone with a stop sign...

    To Censor or not to Censor?

    Since the sale to a company it is this way. Before, it was way better, where people could have conversations without fear of being banned. I always referred to that site as a place for adults to go, whereas I find this site to be way too PG.

    New Kawasaki electric bikes

    I mean, I know it's an ICE, but with those specs, just get a Grom for less than half the price. Sport bike styling, small and nimble (while very comfortable), less than $4000 for a really good used one. People are claiming 2l/100km, but I have yet to get under 4.5l/100km on mine.

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    The day all drivers follow all the rules, is the day I as a cyclist also follow all the rules. Sorry, not sorry. Cagers want cyclists to stop at stop signs, then will ***** and complain when they take up too much space on the road. On one hand, cagers demand cyclists adhere to the laws and...

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    And the funny thing is this morning I had a truck (bob tail) hitting his brakes as the countdown was going. We both could have easily went through in time, but nope, he had slowed down so much we both had the privilege of sitting at a red light.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    As soon as I read that article, my thought was that they're running the climate system, and that's what's dropping the range. For me, that was the biggest shocker I had when my partner bought her EV. But it's not something either of us cared about because her commute is only 5 km, with free...

    I'm curious. Does your insurance company know about this modification?

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Or pulling into the wrong driveway out in the country and never exiting the vehicle at all.. I just read this this morning. So completely needless. https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/18/us/woman-shot-wrong-driveway-upstate-new-york/index.html

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    It wasn't common knowledge to me. And I've been with someone who works in a correctional facility for three years now. We talked about it last night and I still can't believe they don't get searched at all. The union would never agree to a strip search for their people (which I am on board...

    Is this coming from a political or quality standpoint?

    Bring it CF-Moto !

    That 125 Papio mini bike starts at $3100 here? I personally would spend the $1500 more for a Honda Grom. I have nothing against these "off brands", but for me to consider it, they have to be at least half the cost of the big brand.
