    Parking in Woodbine Beach?

    I always go to woodbine beach in Toronto atleast once every weekend because I find it so relaxing just sitting by the rocks and watching the day turn into night. I usually go on my bike and I've never had any issues. Went last night on my cage and got a $105 ticket. I went around 2am and was...

In the pic attached I've labelled the exact place I want to mount it. Just want to hear if anyone...

    Best Earphones for Riding?

    Anyone know of a specific model of earphones that fit well with a motorcycle helmet? I've used standard iPhone earphones and they seem to slide off each time I turn my neck. Quality matters, but I don't want to spend $100 on earphones.

    So I brought a 2007 Gsxr 600 a few days ago from a private seller. The bike had a blue chain. I got out of my garage and rode for like 15 seconds until I reached a red light. As the light turned green, I put the bike back in first gear and gave it gas. However, bike didn't move at all. I then...

    Very serious about purchasing a Yamaha r1 to replace my SV650s. If anyone has ridden those bikes can shed some light on the transition, I'd appreciate it. I do not have experience with a 600 super-sports, except a few short rides on a ZX6R. The SV650 I am very familiar with, having owned both a...

    Does State Farm allow Installments in Payments?

    So after spending this season riding the tires out of my SV650s, I finally am ready to progress to something larger. I'm looking at a 2004 Yamaha R1 and subsequently called a local State Farm rep for quotes. He starts asking me unrelated questions such as Am I smoker.. ? I ask him I'm interested...
