Blue dual-sport, thinking DR-Z going west this morning towards yonge on lawrence - sweet bike! Missed the wave since I hadn't coffee yet but sweet ride man always jealous of those sumos in the city
Dude with the 2012 red duc monster that I was chatting with briefly at on Yonge heading north in North York - sweet ride man and good chatting with you! If you wanna ride just send me a PM
Spot on - they are also expanding their video reviews... not at RevZilla's production level (yet) but still amazing. I have only had good experiences through this site and I have ordered a variety of things... jacket/ gloves/ goggles/ disc lock / etc... never waited over 5 business days for anything
Yesterday around 4:45pm red ninja coming off the 401 Yonge exit heading north. Great sounding bike, what exhaust? I was the red CB500F in front of you.
This morning red bike... so a ducati? turning left (west) onto Sheppard from Yonge St.
Also this morning around College/ Bay... hacked up...
Hey! New rider here. I did my course on the CBR125 and then went and bought the Honda CB500F. I thought I made the wrong call too initially because it just felt heavy - heavier than the only machine I had ridden... It goes away after a few miles. Just get used to the throttle, clutch and brakes...
Flying Monkeys! Great, great, great call! Would love to take a trip of there myself... their flying monkey super collider version 2.0 is back and is only sold from their brewery and tapped at a few restaurants...
I just bought the Alpinestar 2 piece quick seal (in orange) and it has held up great this week. I bought XL to fit over my Large and it is good and doesn't get too flappy. The pants have a velcro seal leg seal so that they are easy to get in and out of but also secured and tight while riding...
Thanks guys, will definitely remember and I know the M1x said the same thing... guess it was a bad habit I picked up late in the trip on Saturday because of my hand getting tired, lol
@Phinx: awesome man the Honda 500 has treated me well and I am sure you'll like it too... just keep in mind it...
Thanks all, going to be good fun!
@Riceburner: I think the lack of tailgunner may be because...they are soon to be in-laws :p I had heard that but to their credit they did park it and wait for me on multiple occasions when I hit a red light :)
Morning!
Thought I'd write a little about my first 500km as a new rider. I bought a brand new 2014 Honda CB500F back in December 2014. I chose to buy new because 1) I could afford to buy it outright and 2) I am not very mechanical and I wanted my first season/ seasons to be about the ride not...
Red ducati southbound on Yonge near College. I was putting along and you came cruising by looking fly! Great sounding bike...sure was nice to hear over my sewing machine :)
Thanks for the tips, I hadn't heard the lean on ramps tip before so that is very helpful! I heard steel plates are awful for stopping, luckily there was enough room on the left hand side of the lane to get stay on the pavement...with the exception of a few craters on that path...
What a freaking disaster. Newbie rider here but I finished a 400km day on Saturday by heading home south on Bayview... just a mess of potholes, steel construction covers and construction. Was not the most fun way to end of the day but definitely helped build the confidence!
I went through State Farm and am paying 186/ month ($2,200/yr) for my 2014 CB500F. They offered $107/ month if I moved my car insurance over but unfortunately my fiance was in an at-fault accident in 2012 and with that accident there was no real savings (car is with Desjardin).
I am 26, male...
Although not the intent of the thread these discussions between more experienced riders about timing and early-season hazards do give us rookies some good tips... just a thought from the fly on the wall!
