Back in 2014, a woman in Quebec stopped her car in the left lane of a highway (with no shoulder) due to ducks crossing which led to the death of a father and daughter on a Harley. It received a lot of publicity and there was a long thread on here about it: Quebec Trial - Car Stops to help ducks...

Have a work trip coming up to Brampton for a week and was planning to take my Versys. After reading about how much motorcycle theft there is in Toronto, I'm second guessing myself now. It's a scratched up 300cc bike that's worth 4k max, but still...am I worrying over nothing?

https://www.bikesportnews.com/news/news-detail/chrissy-rouse-has-died He crashed hard at Donington Park last weekend and was hit by another rider. Tragically passed away this afternoon at 26 years old. He hosted an excellent podcast called Chasin' the Racin'...a must listen if you're...

This weekend I did sections 8, 7 and 6 of the North East Backcountry Discovery Route (going southbound), which including the highway to and from was around 1300km in 2 days with each day being around 12 hours of riding. This was my second time moto-camping and the longest I've ever ridden in a...

Just thought I'd give people a heads up. Twisted Throttle merged their Canadian and American sites a while ago, but still offered free shipping to Canada with no duties or import fees. As of January 1st 2022, they no longer offer free shipping to Canada, although they will still be duty/import...

According the to French magazine "Moto Revue", Yamaha will be announcing the Tenere 900 by the end of the year.

How many people here ride with a Garmin inReach or other SOS/satellite communication device? I've been thinking of picking one up for the upcoming riding season as I'm planning more remote/longer rides, but the high price and the on-going subscription are making me hesitate. If you have one...

There seems to be some decent sales out there this year. I picked up an Enduristan Tornado 2 M duffel bag from Dual Sport Plus and some Givi crash bars for the Versys from Twisted Throttle.

I'm looking to broaden my horizons and try out different types of motorcycling next year. I've found places to do race (FAST school) and flat track (Go Flat Track) lessons which I'm excited about, but I'd also like to give trials riding a try. Are there any schools where I can do a day or two...

https://www.kawasaki.com/en-us/ Wondering what everyone's thoughts are. If it's anything like last year's announcement, the teaser photos have the actual bikes underneath the covers, not just placeholders. There's a lot of speculation about a Versys X 400 on advrider which would be pretty...

I have my road test tomorrow and was wondering what kind of communication device they use for it. I currently have a Cardo with speakers installed in my helmet - will I need to remove them to install theirs? If so, I may just bring my old helmet with no speakers...

I got my license around a year ago now (around 12,000kms in total) and would like to take some lessons to improve my riding in general as well as to experience riding on a track. I've seen a few schools posted here, but would appreciate some recommendations for a newer rider. I live in Quebec...

Does anyone have any experience using paint protection film on a bike? How does it look and hold up? My Z900 is coming with matte black paint and after my last experience with matte paint on a bike, I'd like a little bit of protection on the tank.

I'm considering picking up a Grom as a second bike, primarily to learn how to stunt, but also to ride around the city. For those who have one, how much do you actually ride it? Used ones never seem to have more than a few thousand KMs. It seems like people pick them up, ride a few times and get...

Does anyone have any experience with using self-storage units for storing motorcycles, while still taking them for rides regularly? I may be moving back to K-W this summer and will probably be in an apartment without secure parking. Ideally I'd like to find a storage unit I could drive to, park...

First time posting here so apologies if this is not the correct forum for this question. I got my license last year and bought a Versys X 300, which I definitely enjoy, but now I'm looking for something a little more fun and have been debating picking up a 2020 MT07 or MT09. I was wondering if...
