As it should be. There is no sense in a bike taking up the space of a cage in an already congested city. I can't see the laws coming around anytime soon :(

If that's the case then I can understand it somewhat but even so it's a massive increase. It doesn't affect me so as the other poster said ehy do they have to justify then really I guess they don't. It just worries me the precedent it will set for other insurers when the rates people pay are...

I will take a look at this tyre changer. I've been looking at doing some changes myself. Pete's look like excellent prices so I see it's not really worth the effort unless you are already south of the border. Thanks.

How can there possibly be any justification for these rates? Is it just the bikes are simply not wanted / welcome on Canadian roads?

Is it worth the ride south when it's time for some new rubber? If so where is the best place to go? Thanks.

All I went to Royal in Whitby on Saturday. Didn't get the gloves. But I did get a no fog mask to stop the visor fogging up and a head over / neck warmer to compliment it. I still have a thermal layer to go on the jacket and trousers. Once it's too cold for that then it's time to park the bike.

They don't look too shabby and as I'm in Whitby I may have to check them out this weekend.

I've got a GSX650F I love it. The damn buzzer just gone so I have to get back to work. Nice power delivery, Good handling, I like the riding position and its returning aroun 60mpg.

Lol that made me laugh. :lmao: Scumbags. Not a fan of Croydon.

Re: Why ‘lane-splitting’ on a motorcycle is just asking for trouble Exactly. When you are at the front you know the cars behind you have stopped. Unliek being at the end where a car could be coming towards you at anything from 50 - 80kph + Also by filtering to the front should anything happen...

Re: Why ‘lane-splitting’ on a motorcycle is just asking for trouble Isn't 172 stunting / racing. Is the traffic is stationary and you cautiously filter down the cetnre to a red light at little over walking speed could that charge stand up in court? Has anyone been charged of doing it in that...

TD will be great value now because of how they write the policies. I just picked up my GSX650F and paid $254 for now until the end of Jan. Next year will be a different story. Either way you wont be paying much to insure with TD from now until the new year.

Well this pretty much sums up my first bike and first weekend of riding in Canada. Fantastic first weekend of getting used to the bike. Picked up on Saturday. Had a ride round Whitby / Oshawa initially and then headed off up to Little Britain, for no other reason then the fact i'm British and...

I've got a GSX650F I've previously had Conti Road Attacks and Michelin Pilot Road II's on an R6 and RF600R back in the UK. I prefer harder centre compound tires. Also makes much more sense when riding over here. I don't really have a brand preference so open to suggestions of what people use.

Just wondering where the best place is to get new rubber from. Other than the states. Haven't actually looked into any prices yet but looking for ideas as and when the time comes.

I have been riding since early 2007 in the UK. Apparently Jevco does give some credit but I need to obtain letters from my previous insurers at home. I've got some time though as with the way TD write their policies it costs me $254 to insure from now through to end of Jan 13. Bike picked up...

Some SS are pretty awesome on fuel when you consider the performance. I had a 2004 R6 and no matter what I gave it my average return was always around 55mpg Which I think works out to around 19.38km/l

Things are slowly coming together and I will soon be back on two wheels although it looks like being after the long weekend as I dont think the funds will have cleared in time. Knowledge test complete Tuesday M2 Exit booked with Durham college for the 14th September GSX650F purchased...

Insurance is crazy. SImple as. I just recieved an email for the annual renewal of my bike from the UK. $146 for the YEAR. Insurance here about $1550 for me. How's that for an increase? But it is what it is and I want to ride so I'm going to pay the price of this hobby.

No it was a bit later as I was working till 12. Probably about 12:30ish
