When I first started riding I would get a pain in the area between my right thumb and the index finger. An old timer told me I was probably holding the throttle to tight. I eased up my grip and it went away. Are you possibly holding on too tight. Or as suggested earlier it may be something...

I would take it back to the dealer. Be prepared for the evading responsibility list. It's not a bike problem, it's a tire problem. Response: Where did I get the tires? Right here. That makes it YOUR problem. We aren't responsible for that. Response: Here's the invoice, you charged me $1000...

I can see this working with cars. Just be in the same part of the lane as the car you're chasing. Sounds a bit iffy for motorcycles as there is much less of a target to hit. It is certainly better than the current system which basically consists of the driver and the cop putting their lives at...

I live in the Yonge Bloor area. It seems the city has plans this summer to replace the watermains on several of the side streets in this area. St. Mary is already being done with no parking. I understand Charles St. W is next.

What if you're going the other way? :) I would think they would be standard across the province if the cities chose to use them.

Be advised. According to another post on GTA motorcycles there is no longer parking tag court as such in Toronto. You take it in and there is a dispute resolution process.

It has been my experience with tools that will do many things is that it doesn't perform any single task well.

Pricing of used motorcycles by sellers is a very subjective matter. I rode this bike to Alaska and to the Dragon and I had a great time. I maintained it and cleaned it and waxed and loved it so it must be worth more than that similar bike on Kijiji. Even though it's got 120,000 kilometers on...

Any of the sidestreets off Yonge in the area of Bloor will be filled with parked cars anytime after 8 AM Monday to Friday. Many of the spaces will be filled with motorcycles. Just part of the charm of living in Toronto.

If he hasn't done anything wrong and he knows it, why not stop? I have heard many stories of cops pulling over bikes with bent plates, telling the rider to bend it back and letting them go on their way. It strikes me that a ticket for bent plates is a small matter compared to what'll happen if...

I have to agree with JTR on this one. Buying a bike for the least amount of money possible would probably be the best way to go. Ensure it's certified before you buy it so you don't get stuck with a big repair bill to make it roadworthy. You can get used to it in time for the test and once...

Lane sharing and filtering is illegal in Ontario (my lawyer made me say that). It strikes me that if there is sufficient room to get by safely it should be OK.

With changes to the system over the past few years, people now report their own accidents. If it truly was a hit and run then each driver takes their car to the Collision Reporting Centre and reports it themselves. Phone the general police number 416.808.2222 and ask to speak to one of the...

When the city was merged by the City of Toronto Act one of the lesser known facts is that the City of Toronto became responsible for the court process for bylaw and Provincial Offences tickets issued in the new city. This is no doubt a cost cutting measure, but I don't see how it can last. You...

I don't know for certain. IMO their legs should be long enough to reach the pegs.

I have just finished reading all the posts so far. Here is what is obvious. Each explanation you offer of what happened differs slightly from the previous as the story changes slightly. Sometimes its a trail, sometimes its a bike lane. Sometimes there's a stop sign, sometimes there isn't and...

The two best rides in Eastern Ontario IMO are the Calibogie loop just north of Ottawa. Take Hwy.508 from Hwy. 17 north of Arnprior. The second is the Perth Rd. from Perth to Kingston. The two rides connect via Hwy. 511. Both will take you out of your way of course.

I see you're using US 219 and 119. Two under used highways IMO for folks going south. They are nicely twisty. If you haven't ridden them before, from the border crossing in Buffalo take the I-190 south. When you get to the thruway go west towards Erie. You can't really tell from the map.

So here's a million dollar idea. Bike on the trailer and tied down. Front hitch goes on a couple of concrete blocks. Rear tailgate can lift the back of the trailer. There you have it, combination trailer and lift table.
