    I Saw You: V.2.0

    I wish they would, if that kind of stupid is prevalent in both parents, the kids don't stand a chance. But hey, at least they were wearing helmets...*cough*

    Finally, I ride when I want!

    I agree with b.burton. Sign up for a course, learn the good habits. No matter if it's a friend, husband, loved one, jesus etc. When your taught by people other then instructors from a course, you tend to be taught bad habits. It's just how it works, they are not doing it on purpose, but we all...

    My first cruiser - FIrst long ride?

    Anyone have a good suggestion for the first long ride on a cruiser? I'm getting the CTX700T next week and once i've gotten used to it, i'd like to do a semi-long tripe, i guess and hour or two. Any suggestions for an easy trip? Shane

    Hi from Mississauga

    Welcome. I'd suggest the Riders Training Institute course. I took it in oakville and it was great. I got my cbr250RA just before that and am selling it to move up to another bike. If your looking for a starter bike, check out my post in the for sale area, motorcycles, 2011 and newer. Shane

    Sportbikes are Not beginner Bikes

    Depending on how you define "sportbikes". I'd classify that as 600CC+ "sportbike" types. For example, I don't consider cruisers or touring bikes as "sportbikes" no matter the CC. I do agree that sportbikes(in the 600cc+ definition) are for beginners. Beginners should really learn on more...

    Riding a bike without license plate sticker?

    A friend wants to let me try his honda f4i. He has no sticker on the plate and was wondering if i could still ride it on a test ride. What's the implications of doing that? I am insured with my own bike. His bike is not currently insured.

    What mistakes am I going to make?

    You will make mistakes, depending if you took a course(still gonna make mistakes as you learn) or if a friend taught you(probably more mistakes and most likely picked up a good chunk of bad habits). I have made quite a few since i started riding, most notably, not downshifting to first when...

    Holy Gas is cheap on a motorcycle Batman!

    Sorry, brain fart. 142.X. Your right, I can only wish it was 124.:) My bike is regular unleaded. And i'm sure it was obvious to some people, but i never realized how cheap it was until I did it.

    Holy Gas is cheap on a motorcycle Batman!

    So was gonna take a long ride today(long for me) and got about 1/4 way there and noticed my gas was down to last bar. So i went back and decided to fill up. It was my first time, read the manual and started filling up. Was interesting experience to watch the gas come out and into the tank. So...

    how angry would it make you if other rider passed you in your own lane?

    They were not aggressive and dangerous, they were and I quote someone who replied to me in another thread "spirited riders". Remember, if you put a nicer general word to negative things. It makes it o.k. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Where did you ride today? - New rider version

    I rode up Southdown, down Lakeshore, up to Trafalgar and down to the place where i took my M1 exit test. It was fun and i did get into some real traffic on the way back. Was no stress.

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    Read his original post. The person he complains about was doing 100+ in a residential zone. which is normally a 50km zone for good reason. So he's ****** this person is doing this crap in a residential, not only is it a danger to the rider(kids coming outta nowhere, animals etc), it's a danger...
