    Toronto Motorcycle Show - February 17-19 2023

    Does anyone know if Ducati, BMW and Kawasaki are going to be at the show? When I look at the floor layout, I don't see any of the above manufacturers. Other than GP bikes being there and possibly bringing what they have on their sales floor. Which may not be the latest from Ducati or all their...

    Motorcycle delivery cost from dealership to home

    Dealerships should have no issue delivering the bike and offering the service as part of the sale e.g. at no extra cost to you . The larger dealers will schedule a few deliveries together around the same time.

    Dispelling the japanese dealer network myth

    My expierence with both Japanese (Kawi) and Ducati are similar. In all instances the bikes were recent model years. Parts wait times were about the same. The one negative I have with Ducati is that everytime they release a recall notice. I'm stuck waiting months for the parts. What I found out...

    Eglinton LRT

    The Pickering Airport is a really complicated issue. If I recall correctly , the Federal Government bought out the lands a long time ago because they realized developers were purchasing lands in the area. They needed to protect a certain amount of land for an airport to provide capacity because...

    MAPLE LEAFS SUCK

    Its doesnt matter how many points the Leafs get this season. With this team and management structure , they will be knocked out in the first round if they are lucky to make the playoffs at all. This team is not built to succeed. Its been built to highlight the attention on 3 or 4 overpaid...

    My lot just grew 10 feet wider

    Agree with what most have already said. Check with a Lawyer first. Then based on their advise you may have to hire a legal surveyor. I would also check to see if you have title insurance. You may have have this if you have a mortgage. Title insurance is different than home insurance and...

    407 ETR

    Based on my understanding the the 407 toll rates are set based on a formula which provides a certain amount of profit based on the maximum amount of vehicles it can can carry during peak hours without impeding the traffic flow. E.g. gridlock at rush hour. If I were to take it on a dayly basis...

    Premium Fuel price gouging?

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    I don't understand the situation. These people tracked their own cars and then gave up waiting for the police to show up and left? I would of told the police I found my car . If no officer shows up within a reasonable amount of time. I'm calling a tow truck and getting it towed back home.

    Corsa Meccanica no longer a Piaggio (Aprilia/Moto Guzzi/Vespa) dealer (?)

    Just some experience from an intermidiate rider. My first two bikes were Japanese. Both were as expected extremely reliable. But again I don't ride anywhere near as much as most of you. So my experience will be based on time of ownership. Prior to purchasing my Ducati, I went in with the mindset...

    OP I had a similar concern regarding trying to find Ducati authorized service for my Ducati ever since Maranello moved and stopped servicing Ducatis. I actually went with GPBikes. They came to pick up the bike in their trailor , did the service and delivered the bike back. This was over a 3 day...
