Well you've picked a good time to get into the sport now that the manufacturers are paying more attention to entry level bikes. I've been riding since 82 and got my wife into off-road riding in 87. Correct, we're in the north end of Whitby. Ride our dirtbikes in the Ganny and she does some...
Good to hear. The 250's a great bike to learn on! Had a customer that rode all over Canada and the States on one and it proved to be a tough little bike. Enjoy the sport on whatever you end up getting.
Is anyone using the Sena SR10 unit here? It connects via bluetooth to Sena or Scala headsets and hardwires to various FRS radios to extend the range for bike to bike communication. My Scala rider headset is only good for about 900 metres when there's nothing between myself and another rider...
I was getting the duct cleaning calls pretty frequently last summer then they just stopped. Next time they call, tell them your interested in their services. Ask them the method they use during the cleaning process and if they use shampoo. Tell them you've attempted the task yourself with mixed...
Got a call at work last week from my son. He had borrowed my bike, (without my permission or knowledge) and was pulled over by police exceeding the posted speed limit. Since he was traveling at 50 kph over the limit my bike was impounded for a week. He has a court date in less then a month for...
Great bike you've got there! You should get yourself a Ganny pass if you haven't already and hit the trails. I'm going to be trying to get out there this fall on my 300XC-W. Welcome to the sport and have fun!
Welcome! Cool bike that Beemer. As long as you use common sense and the bike is not too tall or heavy for you, you should be fine. Middle aged just means your throttle hand is controlled from above your shoulders, not below your belt line like the younger ones. Enjoy yourself.
Welcome to the addiction!! Now you need to get a dirtbike, stud up the tires, get some guards and a tether switch and hit the ice this winter. Makes the cold months easier to live with.
I was there all week doing air fence top-ups. My son and I took around 1000 pics from different spots around the track. If anyone's interested let me know what bike you were on and what # you had on it and I can see if I have any of you. I'll just email you any that I may have. I've got some in...
Picked up a couple cans of chain lube cheap, a DVD, (The Doctor, Tornado and Kentucky Kid) and a nice 3/4 length touring jacket. Now just waiting for March and the spring rains to wash the salt off the road.
I bought my first ABS bike last year and this safety feature is the only thing besides the seat that I don't like about my new ride. The ABS kicks in too often and easily. Also I don't like the feel of the bike when the ABS activates. The first time I felt it I was braking for a corner on damp...
Yup, that was me back there, I remember turning down Thickson. My wife spotted your wife on her way home from work a couple days ago. She described a bike she was trying to identify and I asked if the rider was wearing a jacket with a pink pattern on it. The rider was and I knew it was probably...
Welcome to the motorcycle universe! I rode behind a couple on Simcoe Street and turned onto Conlin Rd two weeks back. Guy was on a CBR600RR and girl was on a CBR250. Was that you?
Welcome to Whitby!
Nice thing about out here is your just minutes away from nice relaxed country roads. My wife and I like to just head out and see where the bike takes us. You might want to check out the superbike national at Mosport later this month. Lots of great racing and some of the...
RE: "When get the V-Strom seat figured out, let me know."
Sure thing, might be awhile though. Thinking about ordering the Russell seat.
Re: "And I bet you he was from Brampton or Markham in Toronto."
Lives in Toronto, works in Markham.
Re: "The driver was probably to distracted on a cell...
