    Good Websites to Practice for M1?

    Thanks Private Pilot. Yes, I was just referring to the M1. And it was 0400 when I wrote it ��. Now go ride yer bikes. It's bloody lovely out there! Lucky buggers. Mines at the stealership for the winter and Murphy says if I take it out now, we'll have six feet of snow tomorrow...

    Good Websites to Practice for M1?

    I think I looked over a few things, went in, wrote and passed. Use common sense, read the question and understand it fully and you'll be fine. And if you're taking an approved training course, don't pay for the road test as it's included in the course. Should cost around $15-18 iirc. Cheers...

    Las vegas area

    That sounds like a lot of fun joey12jet. Ive always wanted to cruise around to some of areas where Easy Rider was shot. Found this website http://www.movie-locations.com/movies/e/Easy_Rider.html#.WJ_MKZHEihD listing all the locations. Never made it outside of Lost Wages proper when we were...

    Racer5 BYOB for the intro program?

    Was reading this thread out of curiosity. In all honesty, I've always thought that motorcycle racing was effing crazy. I still cringe at any Isle of Man footage. Purely insane. But after seeing this thread and checking out their website, it sounds like a lot of fun. And at the very least will...

    Ready to ride---------->

    On the flip side, I did my training in the middle of August last summer. Hot was an understatement. But as a plumber, I've spent my fair share of time working in the cold and the only thing that saves you, is the fact that you are moving around and generating heat. 8 hours sitting on a bike at...

    Ready to ride---------->

    Hi All, Well I'm a bit of a noob still. Bought my first bike in July and rode ride up til that first snowfall we had in late November. Didn't mind the cold too much as long as you dress for it. But I think about riding every single day, lol. And I can't even go look at my bike since I sent it...

    Thought and review on armoured hoodies or flannel shirts?

    How is that stuff? I like the idea but the website seems more like a giant timeshare ad. And, if it was truly a good product, why isnt it available at the local level? The two reasons why I've not yet caved and ordered. That and the fact I'm a tall, skinny type and a good fit with mc gear is...

    Thought and review on armoured hoodies or flannel shirts?

    Hi All, I have one of the Joe Rocket Gastown armoured hoodies. I bought it last summer as my jacket was just too hot in that heat we had. The jacket was plenty cool, though I did buy a large instead of a medium and it's a bit loose on me. Will it offer the best protection in the event of crash...

    Rider's training and M1- M2 question

    I was insured on my M1 provided I had proof of registration in an approved course. IIRC it also had to be completed within two months. And at a reasonable rate ($1300/yr) given my skill/experience level, which was practically nil. Mind you I'm also considered old and live outside toronto proper...

    Andy Singh - Dalton Timmis Insurance

    Another +1 for Andy. Got my M1 on a Friday this July. Bought a Sportster on Saturday and crapped my pants about insurance til I found Andy. The few places that would actually take me on wanted $2800 or so. Andy got me hooked up for $1300. But he said it was partly due to my age - late 40's -...

    Scotch anyone?

    Hey Boys, Anyone enjoy cigars with their Scotchy Scotch Scotch? I personally enjoy a smokey single malt with a nice Cuban. Cohiba Robustos and Lagavulin pair great together. Also don't mind the Cognac, too. cheers, EZTRGT Kyle

    What is a good riding pant that does not cost a fortune?

    +1 on the Resurgence Chinos. Quite comfortable even in this heat of late. cheers, EZTRGT Kyle

    Pickering Noob

    Hey Guys, Just thought I'd share a bit of an update to my 'Noob' progress. i had the bike delivered as I just didn't feel that riding from Courtice to Pickering as my first ever in traffic ride was a very wise idea (I'm showing my age). Not to mention it's been at least 15 years since I've...

    Pickering Noob

    Hey Boys, New rider here. Been at least 15 years since I've been on a bike. Mostly dirt bike but I had ridden a few road bikes here and there. Phaser 750 and a '89 Softail amongst others. Learned to ride on a '68 Kawasaki road bike on a dirt road. Never did have an m tho. Nonetheless, I got my...
