I’ve got my M booked for Thursday, with rain in the forecast. Is rain a benefit or detriment? I’ve got the over coats/pants for rain and I’m not worried about riding in the rain but depending on the level of rain what if they miss a shoulder check and mark me for it? I plan to put contrast tape...

I’ve talked about getting a new bike for awhile, finally sold my CBR650F so I need to get a new bike. Want a naked and a bit more power after 5 years, Current top contenders are Duke 890 (non R dealer near me has a 2022) and 2022 mt09. Looking for experience as spec wise they’re honestly...

I was talking to a buddy at work who mentioned looking at a gsxr-600 for his wife, apparently cheap insurance, didn't add up but he said they're listed as a sport touring, atleast with his insurance. I've looked at getting a 600 before but insurance held me back, 25, M2 (getting M in May) had...

I'm looking for something new, I've got a few jackets that work well across most temperatures but they're all obviously motorcycle jackets. Looking for something more casual I see a ton of hoodies and plaid style shirts with Armour, and Kevlar in the elbows and shoulders, and spine. I'm only...

Hey all, I've seen quite a few helmet questions lately and figured I'd add one more. Looking for a new helmet preferably under the $500 mark and IF possible from royal distributing (I've been acquiring gift cards 👍) but can go elsewhere as there's a jacket I like too. Currently wearing an ICON...

Hey guys, I did a quick search and didn't see anything recent for this but what's the best way to insure the bike over winter? Right now it's got full coverage but I'm going to remove collision at the least. Is it worth moving the status to in storage when the time comes? Does that affect...

So my sister just got her M1, obviously with courses back logged and not booking it could take awhile to get her M2. Shes 18 so M1 insurance would be high or non existent. Is there any real issue her buying herself a small bike, were looking at CBR125R, and me insuring it with just liability...

I've been looking into getting a cruiser for this year, I've got a cbr650f but love the "mean" look of some cruiser. Any recommendations on where to start without going to huge Harleys. Something quickish, fuel injected, Rebel 500 is out as I don't like the seating position at 6ft just feels...

Hey, I'm in the process-ish (it's paid for already) of buying a bike from a local dealer, went there because a close friend knows the owner personally and they gave me about $1000OTD off the bike. I saw the bike once before buying it, safetied, and had pictures. Looking at the pictures it...

I'm picking up a new (used) bike for myself hopefully in the next week. A 15' cbr650F that I'm getting for around $4500 cert. Insurance is less then expected, with a 500 deductible, near barrie, about 190/mo full coverage. Without collision though its $22 less a month. Is collision worth it on...

Hey guys, I'm looking at getting a new bike (I rode for a season in a ninja 300) 3 years ago so basically coming in as a new rider mentality. I'm looking at a 20' ninja 400 (6K +tax) or a 19' cbr500r (6700+tax) both are new. Is the cbr worth the extra $1000+ after tax and interest. I've sat...
