Im bikeless right now in TO but am moving to Van in July. Ive looked on Kijiji and Trader.ca, and the used bike market in Vancouver seems very thin.
Im worried that if I wait until after I move Im going to have poor choices of bikes out west.
I can buy one here but it will probably layer on an...
Im itching for a sport bike and am moving to West Vancouver where my commute will be about 23km, half on Sea to Sky and rest through Stanley Park and city streets.
Would you get a Ducati 848/899 as a commuter? Ill have covered parking at work and a sweet garage at home, but for sure it'll get...

Currently has about 14k on it. Bike is in great shape!
Its a super fun bike that is great on gas and cheap on insurance.
Id consider trades for newer super sports...
Be very careful traveling through this construction riddled intersection. The westbound lanes are CAKED with thick greasy mud. Thankfully my bike was straight up but if you get a green and you are traveling through there at any speed, with any lean, you will go down.
It was SLICK. Like ice. My...
I did their foundations course and think that I would benefit from some on road instruction: I dont want to create my own bad habits. LC used to offer "Street Proofing" rides but appears to have stopped those and now does RRRev Its instead. Its cheap - wondering if anyone has done it...
Aside from heading to a parking lot or an abandoned road and letting'er rip, what tips do you guys have?
Ive had to hit the brakes pretty hard a couple times from 80ish kph on my non-ABS Duke (which has amazing brakes). I seem to be better with the front than the rear, but the rear (and...
I have mine (originals) in a zip lock bag in a pocket, but over time these will take a beating. Id like to put photocopies in the storage but I think that we need originals on the road (at least ownership), right?
Im not going to keep the original ownership in the storage of the bike.
How do...
Im doing the first oil change on my new to me KTM Duke (2010) and both of the filters are in there tight.
Ive tried needlenose pliers spread across the inner lip to pull them out. Nothing.
Anyone have any tips?
THANKS!
Im mostly thinking out loud, but despite how well my WR250X is working for me, Im lusting for a KTM 690 SM or a 690 Duke (2008-2010).
I am looking for a city bike - 100% on the road with 80% of that riding on city streets and 20% on the Gardiner/DVP. I would love to get it on a track, but ONLY...
I hadnt planned on picking one of these up until later in the summer, but they're not easy to find so let me know if you would part with yours. It could take me a while to track one down!
Orange/Black preferred but I like the White/Black too.
Thanks in advance all.
I think that there are minimal differences between a motorcycle helmet and one used for car racing, and Im just thinking about loud with this, but is it a bad idea to use a car helmet on a bike?
I have an approved bike helmet (Icon Variant for my supermoto) but Ive got a...
Wondering if any of you deviate from the roads in the downtown TO core or close to it to bypass the gridlock?
What are your tried and true traffic destroying tricks?
Im at day minus one of my life of commuting on a motorcycle, which is to say that I have not started it yet!
My bike isnt even plated, but Im headed in that direction quickly and while I dont expect to commute 12 mos a year on a bike, I expect 10mos.
The details:
Im a newbie! Just got my M2...

Seems that the City is moving forward with designated motorcycle parking spots as well as a license based parking for a fee system.
Anyone have more insight?

One of the challenges Im working though to get a bike under my ***** is where I am going to put it at home.
I have two car garage (a REAL two car garage, not a 2.5) with a SUV and a sports car already in it as well as the typical things that you find in a garage (tool box...
Im 5'9, 160ish and am looking for a 2 piece that I can wear commuting to work and over a business suit.
Something like an Aerostich Roadcrafter....
Let me know if you have something!
email me at ddean73 at gmail dot com!
TIA
Hi all - Im new here!
I work downtown Toronto and live less than 10km east. I currently drive to work but am looking to put an end to the crazy cost of parking downtown - and since scooters/motorcycles park for free, getting one seems like a no brainer to me!
I wrote my M1 awhile ago and plan...
