Re: Spinal protection/injuries Jesus. That's sad! My guess of why we don't hear about this more from motorbikes is because of the added speed. That type of impact (landing directly on your head) would kill you. I know when I had my accident my surgeon said I was very lucky to be alive...

Re: Spinal protection/injuries no worries. It happened mountain biking, over a decade ago. 33 yrs old now. I'm fine, although I'm never really comfortable unless I'm lying down, but it could be worse -I could be paralyzed right? A big part of my spine is fused together. My neck was never...

Re: Spinal protection/injuries I looked it up quickly. Looks like spinal cord injuries are pretty rare like you said. Those injuries tend to happen by landing on your head, not landing on your back. I know, I landed on my head, compressed my spine over an inch. Compressed 3 vertebrae and...

Wow. Most ignorant post award goes to this guy. There is lots of proof that mj is far less dangerous than tobacco. No one has ever died from smoking weed. Tobacco is deadly. Heavy Mj use is harmful to a developing brain. I'm sure heavy alchohol or tobacco use would be detrimental to a developing...

Was kind of thinkign the same thing, but I'm not much of a wheeler and dealer. My buddy who found the KLX for me is always buying -fixing up bikes and selling them and always making a bit of profit. Awesome man! Congrats. I'm jealous. Where abouts are you? I'm in Hamilton. I'll def. be looking...

Thanks the confirmation on my gut feeling guys.

I agree inreb, I'm conflicted though because I was raised by a dutch accountant. So I'm really friggin' cheap sometimes and it's hard to pass on a deal. hahaha

Hey all, so I'm about to get my license and first bike. I want a dual sport but a supermoto might be more suitable for my uses, as i'll be riding mostly street with some off road riding the occasional weekend. I've basically had my mind up for a long time on a drz400sm. I've spent lots of time...

I agree. My gf came back from an extended stay in Germany where she drove the autobahn daily. When she came back she was astounded how ****** drivers are here. I assumed it was dangerous on the autobahn but she strongly disagreed stating that no one ever passes on the right, you don't get...

There's a main st. Close by me in Hamilton that leads to a mountain access. It was 60, you'd see cops almost everyday it seemed giving tickets. It recently changed to 40. That's a blatant speed trap for the tax collectors.. Ahem. I mean police. As others have said 40 is fine for suburban...

Thx. What jeans did you have? So now I've completely changed up what I'm going to pick up. Looking at getting something like the icon sprocket leather jacket w/d30 armor. Gauntlet style gloves, some kind of over pant for commuting but still interested in a Kevlar jean for booting around in. I'd...

This is for STUDENTS eh, so they're straight-up amateurs. They are not even close to being professionals yet. The competition is a learning exercise with a potential reward. The fact that they expect to be paid is hilarious. Besides, It's better than most assignments they'll be getting. As a...

Thanks. I'm definitely taking a trip to royal to get the minimum gear for my course.

What are some specific boots I should look into? Also, a 2pc suit..is that mean leather race suit? Any recommendations on those as well? Thanks guys. The helmet debate was good to know. Lol

Thanks Grey. So what would you suggest jacket-wise? only leather? My thinking was that the armor was most versatile, but then I read that it's mainly only good for off-road, not good at all for street.

Hi All, I'm sure this topic has been beaten to death. I've been lurking lots and searching but I'm actually getting more confused the more I read. I'm planning on getting my license in the spring and taking a rider saftey course. I've got my insurance quotes and bike quotes all done. I'm...

Contact your insurance here. I went down in October and and for car rental, it was all covered by my current plan in Canada. Didn't have to pay the rental companies crazy rate. Hopefully motorcycles are the same?..
