Cab drivers never look. What's the life of cyclist or biker when there's a fare to be had.

It's going on four months Toronto Boy. Did you get a ticket for it? This I submit would answer the questions.

Some years ago someone posted some still photos of an old US Army publication. It seems they taught their motorcycle riders how to lay the bike down while taking fire. In one fell swoop the bike was down, the rider was crouched behind it and the tommy gun was withdrawn and ready to return fire...

I have picked up nails and other debris in my tires several times over the years. Here's what I do. Get a plug similar to those used in car tires and plug the hole. Pump up the tire and then ride it slowly to the bike shop or dealer. Slowly as the plug will cause vibrations in the tire and the...

They probably were training. We all have to learn someway.

As you get older we are told that stretching before exercise become vital to avoid muscle pain. Riding for hours at a time is a form of exercise and I always stretch for a minute just before hopping on. You will know which ones to stretch by the ones that hurt.

Aren't hand signals still legal?

You never know what the weather gods have in store for you. Christmas eve 2016 it was 70 degrees. I did the Forks that day as did every other motorcycle in the GTA it seemed. The right time to buy a bike is controlled by two things IMO. Do you have the cash and how long can you keep the fact...

That's something I enjoyed while I was living in Austria for awhile. The price posted included all the taxes.

Of course it's a criminal offence to steal plates just as it is to steal anything. It's also an offence to be found in possession of stolen property. Then you have the HTA offence of using a false plate. Also the insurance is invalid in this situation, so drive no insurance. No doubt this yahoo...

The actual footage of the crash may have been seized by the cops or the coroner.

I had some time off last September so a riding buddy and I went south. Day 1- Toronto to Front Royal VA. We kept mostly to the 2 lane highways, but a few stretches on the interstates. Day 2 - Skyline Drive Day 3 - Blue Ridge Parkway from Waynesboro to Little Switzerland. Including the...

Re: Fake plates for sale - Not selling just an ad I saw Not to be confused with antique plates. There is an active market in many US states for restored motorcycles using plates from the year the bike was made. For example, you restore a 1955 Harley, you can put a 1955 plate on it (if you can...

I doubt this is a tax or rather a fine grab on the part of the government. One need only look at the poor way our governments handle the money they already get. This is more likely a PR stunt to show how seriously the government approaches this problem. As pointed out, the problem itself is...

A new bare bones BMW R1200T goes for about $12K. Includes panniers, ABS and traction control. Taxes not included of course. I believe the 2018s are coming out next month. Edit - I said $12K. Sorry, they are $18K

A few words may be in order. In the Province of Ontario violations of provincial statutes are governed by the Provincial Offences Act. A Justice of the Peace has absolute jurisdiction except when notice is given of an especially complex legal argument then it will be assigned to a Provincial...

The number one reason drivers use for running into riders is "I didn't see him". I rarely ride at night for just this reason, but I have yards of tape on the back of the motorcycle just in case. Never a problem.

There are still plenty of BMW K75s and K100s on the road with well over 100,000 km. I have heard tell of ones with 300,000 but I've never actually seen one. I agree with the other posters, it really does rely on how well (or poorly) they were maintained,.

I have sold several motorcycles over the years and it's only recently I have been forced to do the following. Meet at a neutral site (mall or big box parking lot). Get there five minutes early to remove plate.

If the fine wasn't paid within the time allocated to do so, the fine goes into arrears and in Ontario A WARRANT IS ISSUED FOR YOUR ARREST. You get pulled over for a minor offence and off you go to the police station to do the time or pay the fine.
