    M2 exit...brake light modulator ok?

    Yep, I did my M2 exit with integrated tail lights that do the quick brake flash a couple times. Wasn't a problem. They're more interested in your riding abilities. Don't forget to slow down through a school zone- I kept doing 50 and buddy dinged me a couple points.

    Princess Auto Bike Lift on Sale.

    Says it weighs 350lbs? Happy to go pick one up, but not even sure I could move it off the trailer when I get home!

    Cost of wheel painting?

    Thanks JZ and Wingboy. I didn't realise that! I have this as a guide (Bronzo Met Opaco) It's a '95 916. Here she is a few minutes ago. PO thought it was a good idea to polish the wheels down to bare aluminum...

    Cost of wheel painting?

    Hi there, I'd like to bring my old Ducati wheels back to original. The OEM is a tricky colour with an almost matte clearcoat. Any idea approximately how much I'm looking at for both rims? Desired finish:

    Photo radar urged for County Road 507 in wake of latest fatality

    Totally agree, the 507 is completely overrated. Super bumpy in most corners, cracks and a narrow lane. Not enjoyable. I took my old 916 up there expecting ontario sportsbike nirvana and was sorely disappointed. Dickheads like buddy doing 150+ give my relatives even more ammunition to tell me...

    New rider getting denied insurance everywhere :(

    As mentioned, your dream of riding motorcycles is still alive and achievable right now. Enduro & dirt bikes are a great way to learn balance & throttle control, track bikes are great for learning brakes and looking through turns. Neither of these options require insurance, both are extremely...

    I heard the 'all Ducatis are blacklisted' line when I was doing my homework on how to get the best cover. I read somewhere that it seems that once superbikes get to 15 years or older, the risk for claims go down, even though when first released they were effectively race bikes with lights and...

    If the cover on the bike was really $2K+ a year, I would sell it. I've never lived in an area with such high insurance premiums, and I've lived in a few different countries. Ontario seems off the scale.

    I tried initially with a Broker. No insurers were prepared to give experience credit from outside Canada or the US. Initial quotes were like, $2300!! Scotia was my last thought, I already had the car with them so gave them a call and lo & behold they delivered.

    Good point.... maybe I don't(?) Better call my insurer.... Oh, and I'm in the Kawarthas not GTA so that might also be a factor.

    I should probably point out that I did ride a 250cc bike back home and had insurance there. The ducati is my first bike in Ontario. Ok, so I pulled out my policy. As mentioned, I had to bundle bike cover with my car. I paid my car premium up-front when I arrived in the country: $1437 for a 10...

    Sure thing, but you'll have to excuse me as I'm a recent immigrant. What is 'SABS'? I took the insurance papers to Service Ontario to get plates and have been on the road for a few weeks now.

    Got a good deal through ScotiaLife Financial. Had to bundle it with my car, but for Comprehensive cover the bike insurance is $524 a year.
