Wow thanks for all the input. As for riding he's wanted to get his license for a long time but he's been afraid to ask us, my mate was killed in a crash 4 years ago so he definitely didn't want to bring it up after that. Just came up in conversation as he was giving me a hand working on my...

To answer some questions I'm with Riders Plus and my son is 6' with a 36" inseam. He has mentioned he really likes the Versys-X.

Thanks for the replies. I'll talk to him tomorrow about other bike choices. Only reason we were leaning towards a cheap 125 is the chance of it getting dropped. Since the course starts Aug 13th we can see if there's an insurance company that will accept the M1 for now until he's eligible for the M2.

Just got informed by our son that he wants a motorcycle and wants to do a road trip with some mates next summer after he graduates. He turns 25 next May and he's been driving since 16 and has a clean record. He's going to write his M1 tomorrow. Despite our apprehension we want to make sure he...

Two-thirds of Canadian voters rejected the 1950's Cons and went with a progressive candidate, the fledgling Nazi party couldn't even get a seat and Ford's riding went to Liberals. All-in-all a good day.

All this hand-wringing from the boomers...

I don't think you have enough helmets...

Congratulations. My dad used to jokingly say that the best thing about grandkids was that they could always be given back...

Sorry to hear about the rider. Used to hang out with cops. Biggest bunch of piss-tanks out there, and the culture of drinking and driving still prevails.

If you don't think a 900lb cruiser can be handled you should watch some vids with Jerry Palladino...

I'm no traffic engineer, but maybe it's to see if there's an average decrease in congestion. Eg. get the cars to the destination sooner, less cars on the road at any given time.

Hydraulic power unit? High pressure underwear? <shrugs>

Was hoping for "Do you support increased enforcement and fines for traveling in the left lane if not passing?"

Glad you like them. Everything stores out of the way as well. The Quickjacks themselves can lean up against a wall, pump goes on a shelf and I hang the hoses on a hook. Takes about 5 minutes to setup after some practice.

Survey: raising the speed limit on Ontario highways

I'd be torn between ignoring it or getting off my bike and snapping it's neck. Local guy was killed a couple of years ago when he hit a Turkey on the hwy and veered into an oncoming dump truck.

I have the Quickjack 5000EXT system. From seasonal tire changes, brake jobs to suspension, exhaust, trans/differential/engine oil changes you name it. They've paid for themselves in more ways than one. <a href="https://imgur.com/SfkDhM1">

Wait till mid-winter. Gives people a chance to pass some time cooped up.

There's an overrunning clutch on the starter. If it was anything like my old Honda twin it was basically some roller bearings on a ramp. Lack of lubrication or excessive wear in that clutch will cause the starter to disengage while in operation. You'll have to pull the starter to get a look.

Looks like OP got what he was looking for. Well done everyone.
