I have seen a lot of people on this site talk about the fact that they have been driving a car for "x" number of years when asking questions about insurance. Correct me if I am wrong, but I was told that how long you have driven a car has no bearing on what your motorcycle premium will be...

I posted recently about how I went for my 1000km service on my 2011 CBR 250 (and got raped :violent1: on the price). They told me that oil filters are on back order everywhere. They are expected to arrive late next week at the Honda dealership in Kitchener. The dealership that did my...

Ok, A few days ago I was asking if using the kill switch was better or worse than the key switch (or kick stand as many people pointed out) in order to turn off the bike. WELL now I am having problems with the key switch, only the issue isn't with turning the bike off, it is turning the bike...

I am taking my M2 exit on June 30th in Kitchener. I have heard advice from a few people, mainly to exaggerate head movements to show them that you are looking around, don't put two feet down at lights etc. Anybody else have any advice on specific things they nail you on more often? Also...

So I've asked enough questions in the past week that I figured it was about time to support the site. Thanks everyone for their help. My final concern (for now) with my new CBR 250r is a shifting concern. My last bike was automatic so I am new to shifting, although have driven manual...

So I booked my initial 1000km service for my CBR 250r. I drove down to get it done and was told that there were no oil filters in stock. So they did the service and replaced it with the same oil filter. When they get them in stock I will probably attempt the job myself, as everything seems...

Is it better to turn off the engine with the key, or with the kill switch? I have the CBR 250, which is fuel injected. The dealer told me to turn it off with the kill switch. Does it matter?

I have seen a few threads regarding the HOV lanes in Toronto, one of them said that bikes are not allowed on the 404 / 403 highway HOV lanes. The QEW through Oakville has a new HOV lane and has a sign that says 'GREEN' vehicles permitted. Would a bike count as a green vehicle? What if I paint...

So I have had my new CBR 250 for 4 days now. I have finally managed to upshift without any lurching 98% of the time. Downshifting is a different story. I have driven a manual transmission car for years, and always downshift to save the wear on my brakes. I find the last three gears on the...

Hey guys, new to the site. Learned to 'ride' on a Vespa LX150 two years ago. Finally got the money to get a new 2011 CBR 250R (with ABS). Glad to be on the site (although I am now a resident of Kitchener, with a hellish commute to Oakville everyday!)
