    Rivermede / Hwy 7

    Saw a young man lying on a stretcher and being attended to by paramedics yesterday around 3-ish PM. I could see he was talking to the medics. Don't have more information on this. GWS

    Portable battery charger

    Does anyone in GTA have a portable battery charger to hook up to a dead motorcycle battery I can borrow? Can't use a standard one as we don't have sockets in our condo parking. Asking for a friend. 😊

    DRL went bust. How to go about it?

    So my bike has a H4 and a H7 lamp, and the H4 went bust last night. I thought it could be a fuse of a loose cable but they checked out. Questions are: Should I get a replacement OEM bulb and call it a day? Should I get an aftermarket one? There are sooooo many options and being a noob I'm...

    Rant: pulled out of my M test

    I had my M test tomorrow and just today my bike decided to give up on me. V-belt or the clutch plates started slipping and I barely got home riding at 7000 rpm. I have a bunch of expletives I want to shout out loud but FML. To add to this I have an upcoming trip next weekend and I'm moving to a...

    This season has been terrible for motorcyclists

    This has been my observation all around staring March. The traffic is worse that last year when I started riding in Canada. Time and again I have dealt with tailgaters. Just the other day a pickup truck was trying to overtake me and even entered space while I was on a ramp at Hurontario getting...

    Yet Another M Test Question

    My M test eligibility, as per drivetest.ca, starts on Oct 21, 2024. I'm trying to see if I can find a slot on their site within GTA and so far all are greyed out. Is it that I'm too early to book the slot or does the Drivetest not do M tests so late in the season? What about schools? Do they...

    Friendly Reminder to Wear ATGATT

    I had a lapse of judgment and went out with sneakers. My right foot slipped while pulling the bike out of a parking spot and my right ankle got pinned under the bike. The jacket and the helmet also took quite a hit from the fall. Adrenaline got me up and ride back home, but after relaxing for a...

    My trip across 403, 401, 427, Gardiner and Queen's.

    Riding is an activity that clears my head when I have a rough day at work. Today was such a day and I decided to take a longer route. The plan was to get on to 403 at Hurantario then get on to 401 to 427, shop some at Ikea, get on to Gardiner and Queen's and get home. It's not the first time I...

    Brampton.. Just why?

    This is just a vent 😮‍💨 I had to go to the north end of Brampton today to play some board games and what not at a cafe and it was an absolute nightmare. Even when riding in India I sparsely use the horn but today I counted 14 honks. No turn signals, no right of way, no blind spot checks-- they...

    Urgent help needed in Mississauga

    I think I forgot my keys on the bike and someone stole them off. I've locked my bike for now at work. I'm watching it from a window. Don't know what to do, any help/suggestions?

    Cager appreciation thread

    I know we all dislike cagers in general, but now and then you'll find a nice person on the roads who makes your ride pleasant (not sarcastic). I just thought of starting a thread to share such experiences. I have had two experiences- The first was during a downpour last fall when I was on the...

    Noob mechanical question

    So, I have been trying to find some handguards for the Tmax to prevent the cold wind from hitting my palms. I've tried a bunch of things but the only thing that's close to compatibility was this one made for Harleys https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B089F7R3RD I looked at all possible placement options...

    Looking for an expert to critique my riding & leaning skills

    I was in Kingston over the weekend and had an embarrassing/testing time where I had to park & turn at slow speeds that typically require riding the friction zone. I'm, admittedly, not great at that skill plus my Yamaha Tmax is a CVT transmission bike. And the bike being 250kgs I get nervous...
