Get ready for hot sticky summer weather (at last) !! I love this jacket, but I lost a lot of weight and it no longer fits. I wore it for just over one summer and it is still in excellent condition. http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/Detail.bok?no=9841 Winner of the Revzilla ZLA award fro...

This is a high quality leather jacket with great protection by European designer REV'IT. http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/Detail.bok?no=15476 Size fits like 44 North America and has generous length in the arms. With the zip-in liner you can still be comfortable spring and fall. I bought...

Nothing of huge consequence at stake here, except the principle: I was at the gym yesterday with my bike parked legally in GreenP street parking on Bloor westbound just east of Spadina between 4 and 6pm. I come out of the gym at 5:30pm and notice a cruiser sitting a few cars ahead of my bike...

Just back from my second bike trip to Montreal this summer, and I have to say I felt far safer riding there than I ever have in Toronto. Each trip I rode a mix of city street and highway, day and night for several days. I didn't have even one remotely close call. Here are some reasons why I...

I have to go to Montreal on business, so why fly when you can ride :-) Leaving downtown TO in the morning next WEdnesday August 15th, no particular route in mind though thinking about heading up through Oka for a swim at the national park if I make good enough time. Planning a relaxed pace in...

I'm new to GTAM and motorcycling, but I am puzzled to see what appears to be very little organized and official representation of the interests of bikers given some of the issues that affect us. Some of these are: - Road conditions / signage - Public awareness (i.e. left turning / distraction)...

I just got the best compliment on my bike. At Bathurst / Bloor, putting on my helmet, a (very pretty) cyclist pushing her bike to the street says "I don't know what I think about motorcycles, but that one looks fun!". It is :-) What is the nicest compliment anyone has made about your bike?

Passing by at about 8pm. Blue Gixxer on its side. Reportedly two cars involved, both pointed westbound in westbound lane. Cops on the scene, rider in ambulance. GWS Rider.

To celebrate my last days as an M1, I took a 2 week bike trip to Ottawa & Montreal. Just thought I would post some notes. Highway 2 on the Saturday morning I left was completely empty from Toronto through Brockville. The 401 was apparently plugged the whole time! Stopped lots to see lots of...

Well, 60 days and 4000 kms after writing my M1 and taking my safety course, I finally have my M2! And just back from a Toronto - Ottawa - Montreal - Toronto trip that I had to do completely in daytime hours and all without touching the highway. A lot of fun, though I was a bit disappointed in...

On my way to Billy Bishop for an evening Porter flight to Ottawa on Thursday. F650GS (twin) riding Bathurst south around 40km/h in the left lane between the tracks between King and Front. Shoulder checked, signaled and started to change lanes to avoid left turning cars 200 metres ahead before...

I have to fly to Ottawa tomorrow, so checking out parking options at the Toronto Island Airport. It's FREE for bikes in the secure lot on the island! The following recent article from Canadian Biker explains: http://www.canadianbiker.com/the-c-note/issue-276-the-good-things-in-life Planning to...

Just for anyone who fits my profile, here are some rate quotes I got for insuring my 2010 F650GS (798 cc) with less than 2000 kms with full comprehensive / collision with $1000 deductible (bike value $9000): Rider Age: 44 Yrs G License = 28 Continuous insurance car = 28 yrs M License? = M1 for...

I am looking to pick up a tall seat (BMW or aftermarket) and touring wind screen for my 2010 F650GS. Will consider trading my low seat. Thanks, ian

Hi everyone, From Christie / Davenport in Toronto. Just started riding. Took the course at Centennial two weeks ago and picked up my F650GS the next day :-) I'm finding it a great bike to learn on, but I am also big (6'5", 210 lbs) and I have driven stick all my life. Cant believe I waited...
