    Taxes on used motorcycle

    If you wish to get mad at something, how about this. In 2000 the original owner bought the bike from a dealer for a certain amount and paid PST on that amount. In 2005 he sold the bike for a lower amount and the 2nd owner paid PST on that amount. In 2010 he sold the bike to the third owner and...

    Favourite Riding Roads

    Not really the GTA, but Perth Rd. from Kingston to Westport to Perth is a great ride. In another few years, it probably will be part of the GTA.

    Bike shaking crazy with windscreen

    Perhaps there are some motorcycles which simply aren't supposed to have windscreens.

    Make a will due to riding?

    A lawyer is not necessary to draw up a will, but the more money you are worth, the more sense it makes to use one. A will should be dated, your signature should be witnessed by two people (non heirs are best) and you should appoint an executor. Designate who gets what and that's it.

    Worlds fastest production motorcycle - Electric.....

    I don't wish to rain on your parade but who needs a motorcycle (gas, electric of hydrogen powered) that will go 300 km/h? The max speed in Ontario is 100 km/h. And 38 thousand, that's the down payment on a house.

    Deals gap

    I pulled into Cherokee about 6 PM. Checked into the motel, had a shower and then went to get something to eat. I didn't visit the Casino

    STOLEN - 2016 Triumph Street Triple, Black and Red

    The poor guys bike has been stolen and he asks for help. What does he get, second guesses. I'm reasonably certain he didn't park it where he did because he wanted it to be stolen.

    You are correct. That is what I meant, but it wasn't clear.

    Sick person in Oakville stringing line to decapitate riders

    Section 180 deals with common nuisance. If a person does something staggeringly stupid (like throwing a brick from their balcony) and causes death or injury, the penalty is two years in prison. You would probably have to prove it was deliberate however.

    Ride organizer liability

    I don't think this is a criminal problem for the cops, but it could be a civil action. The injured rider would have to prove you were somehow negligent in planning the ride or you didn't take sufficient care to ensure that a rookie rider would be OK with the route you selected. People love to...

    Bike ran out of oil... while riding... so what now? :(

    A new engine may be in your future or it may not. I assume you have done this already, but I will state it just in case. Have you filled up the crankcase and see if it will start? I had a car and the oil sending switch went on it. When the oil pressure got too low, the engine would stop. This...

    Deals gap

    I was down last September. I stayed in Cherokee NC the night before I did the Dragon. The last 15-20 miles on US 19 to get to Cherokee were as challenging as the Dragon itself. I also did several of the other runs in the area.

    Buying a motorcycle with lien

    Problems abound with this entire scenario. 1. He banks at BNS but the lien is with the National Bank. Why doesn't he still do his banking at National? 2. He says he will pay off the lien but there is no way to ensure he does it. I don't wish to cast aspersions at anyone but this has all the...

    Speed trap - Hwy 7 @ Bathurst

    Also a very common one on the Bayview extention southbound as you come off the DVP right under the bridge. The road turns slightly as you approach the Bloor St. viaduct and you can't see the police car or radar until you're right on top of it. I believe the speed limit is 60 and most folks are...

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    Many sellers include the price of the fun they had on the bike and the emotional pain and suffering of parting with it in their price. An excellent reason for buying new from a dealer. They are gleeful to see you riding away on it.

    Say goodbye to your day in court for parking tickets

    The Provincial Offences Act is a procedural law. It covers all charges laid for PROVINCIAL laws in the Province of Ontario. Violations of the HTA, Liquor Control Act, the Electrical Act, the Housing Act...all of them. It states among other things that you are entitled to a trial to fight the...

    Parking question

    It is illegal for any vehicle to be ridden on the sidewalk. This includes bicycles, though you would never know it. If you can push your motorcycle from the street to your parking area that would be legal. The area where you wish to park is private property. The property owner has the right to...

    Chalk marks on rear tire? Theft risk?

    There are a number of private parking lots in Toronto where part of the lot is reserved and part is public parking if you buy a ticket from the machine. This gives people who have business in the building a place to park. Generally there are signs posted with a time limit. This to prevent...
