    Whats the law on speed chases?

    Isn't riding a motorcycle 'against the natural drive of self-preservation'? You're in a unenclosed vehicle that can go 200km/h and the only shock absorption you have in a crash is some air time and then your body. Also people often enter this sport motivated by either thrill or vanity. Just...

    So say you bought a bike for $4000. But on the bill of sale you wrote $3000 (seller is aware). What are the consequences?

    staged crashes in the Richmond Hill/Markham/Scarborough/ North York area?

    This has happened to two completely unrelated family friends of mine. Two cars are parked at the curb just before a right turn into a plaza or something... my friends were waiting to turn left into the same laneway. The two cars signal the friend to go and right when they start turning the...

    potential new rider. insurance with prior tickets?

    So I have a more applicable question now that I have completed my rider training course. I will go to pick up my M2 around October 5th. Are bikes really sold a lot cheaper at the end of the riding season compared to say in March? I would like to buy now but I may not necessarily insure now...

    Markham area riders

    someone in another thread mentioned First Markham Place. There's a relatively new plaza behind called First Markham Centre (i think). less cars there. And also Nextmod is there :) I think anywhere easy to find, close to the 404 will be good

    Parking on sidewalks - York Region

    This might be a dumb question but it is an honest one :) There's a few threads about parking in Toronto but not too much elsewhere in the GTA. Is it legal to park on large walkways outside malls and plazas in york region (specifically Markham/Thornhill/Richmond Hill Area)? I always see...

    Closest Near Miss Ever....

    I had a really close call just a couple weeks ago last month... I was exiting the parking lot of Cycle World in Scarborough and an older guy blasted out of the tiny laneway coming out of the storage lot in the back and almost slammed into my front right wheel... by the time he had slowed down to...

    There are beginner friendly 600cc bikes???

    So the 600cc rule really only applies to supersport bikes? what about street/sport bikes like the ninja 400r or 650r? Are those viable options for a new rider? (though obviously still harder than the 250r) The 400r looks appealing but there aren't any on the used market and a 650r is too...

    There are beginner friendly 600cc bikes???

    First of all this isn't another one of those 'justify my 650cc first bike purchase' threads. I've been looking around the classifieds for the ninja 250r. But I noticed that on several threads that experienced riders are recommending certain bikes to beginners that are above 250cc... Are...

    potential new rider. insurance with prior tickets?

    Which bike and what gear?

    awesome.. this gives me a bit more confidence. lol I was worried about standard because I had a bit of trouble in the camry... It wasn't very forgiving. I will be heading to a drivetest centre to do the knowledge test sometime this week. Hopefully I pass so I can head out to look for some...

    Which bike and what gear?

    Hi all, I'm a new member considering riding. I've yet to go out to get my M1. BUT if I were to... I'm looking at the kawasaki 250r. I've seen conflicting posts about whether this is a comfortable ride for taller riders. I'm 6' tall with proportionately longer legs and im ~185lbs. Will this bike...
