    Just had my first ride.

    The bike stalled, i caused it to stall. Yes, I know that:) Did it again today, i keep forgetting to downshift at a stop, i'll learn. Had another ride today, 30 mins this time, even did a little bit on the main street. I did notice at a certain speed, i start to feel a "WUP WUP WUP" vibration...

    Did my first ride today. Not long. Was quite fun, stalled twice of my own fault. Now I gotta learn to get to minimum posted speed and go from there. Then later to Main Street practice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Just had my first ride.

    Just had my first ride on my bike. Wasn't long, 6 Km..about 10 mins. I had fun though, bike stalled twice at a stop sign. My own fault for still being in second gear. Still learning the bike and everything. Found is much easier to be aware of what's around me and look ahead. The feel of you, the...

    Going for the times when I know the roads by my place aren't full of ********. I live in a nice area and unfortunately have a blind driveway that is right on the corner of a upward hill, so people go flying by my driveway at 60+ when it's a 40 zone and the are never looking. It's a hassle in my...

    What's the best insurance for new riders??

    Instant douche bikes?

    Re: Instant ****** bikes? The gear shift was in a strange position for me, had to slide my foot almost all the way forward on the peg, angle it down to get it under the gear shift. It was the cause of me not getting to second gear many times. Also the spread leg position that it had, was not...

    Questions about M1 test

    As long as your of age to take the test it's fine. I think it's 16 to get your license. The test itself is 3 parts. Road signs, G1 traffic and Motorcycle traffic etc that you should know from the book. If you do not have your G yet or G2, then get a copy of the motorvehicle and motorrcycle...

    I passed the course. I have a sunburned face and neck, but i passed. only 7 demerit points for being slow. I was told that i was on the hardest bike that day, what kept ****ing me up was the odd placement of the shifter on the cruiser bike i was on. Not to mention i was on a different bike the...

    Motorcycle Superstore ".ca"

    I've purchased from here, canada and go bikes and been happy. Problem is some of these places don't carry items that others do. So you have to go where you can. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    I don't plan to do any of this. It was a comment about the attitude I seem to find on various places. Apparently at some point people stop caring about safety and more concerned about getting somewhere fast and recklessly so. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I am unclear on the M1 60 days minimum requirement

    Except if you get in an accident in the car, you will probably live. If you get in an accident on your bike, your dead. Shane

    Instant douche bikes?

    I am serious. I find when I'm on the road in my cage. The biggest doucgebags are people in bmws, Mercedes and pickups. So wondering if this happens with any bike brands. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Condo Parking Theft Deterrent

    That's when you gave a card that you scan so it opens the garage doors. Usually first door opens to visitors, then a second door goes to paid parking. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
