    Open letter to the young GSX rider who hit the Jeep on the 401 this morning

    Guy was speeding for sure an obviously not giving himself enough room and being aware. In the end it was the riders own fault. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    M1 is the easiest license to get. You then get a bike and ride. No course needed. At least for some people. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Insuring 2 bikes silmultaniously

    I am currently insuring two bikes with TD. You do get a discount when you insure more then one bike. I think i'm getting about $200 or so off each bike on insurance.

    beginner bikes? cruiser style

    Another thing to consider with a cruiser, is your body position. What works best for you? I found traditional cruisers to be too wide for my legs in position and the position and length of the handlebars was not great for me. Neither was the weight and center of gravity. The CTX700N had...

    We have two of the joe rocket jackets and they are nice and fit well. I would suggest trying one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Too many people on bikes who haven't taken a course, too many new riders who ignore wearing the tight gear. Maybe in a prude, I'm ATTGATT and I stick to my license restrictions. I also don't ride when I don't fell comfortable or put myself in bad situations on the road. Sent from my iPhone...

    My Rookie Mistake: Wide Right, Target Fixation, Failure to Look Ahead

    BRain farts. Ahh, many of those myself. In the cage.:) As long as you learn, it's what matters. I did a wide right turn once, thankfully it was on a side street and missed the car that was in that lane. I learned that lesson fast.

    Best time to try highway riding?

    Thanks for all the input and suggestions. Will get out on the highway more when my cruiser windscreen shows up(all i got right now is a sliver of a windscreen) and will try it on the cbr650f when i'm comfortable to do it. Shane

    My Rookie Mistake: Wide Right, Target Fixation, Failure to Look Ahead

    Quite a bit of mistakes. Did you take a MSC course? You might wanna consider doing so, to learn the proper riding skills and general driving/riding etiquette. I know people will harsh on me about this, follow the rules of the road. They are not there for ***** and giggles. There is enough...

    beginner bikes? cruiser style

    My first cruiser is actually the Honda CTX700(T) model. The Naked model is also nice, but I wanted fairings. The naked model has a really low center of gravity. Has good speed and pickup. I'd suggest this bike as a first cruiser myself. Shane

    Anyone tried the Honda CBR500R yet?

    I agree with the one poster. Check your insurance. 500 for me was about $1,200 for the year. Then 650f $2,300 the year. Find a criteria that matters to you and go from there. For me it was "Comfort,cost,insurance,aesthetics" Shane
