My wife got a new bike and now it's time to let her Gladius go. She bought it used from our local Suzuki Dealer in spring of 2012 and it now has 75,000 km on it. She pretty much learned street riding on this bike and put about 60,000 km on it.. pretty much all of it recreational riding with...

My wife and I were out for a ride today and sadly saw what we were later told was a new Harley down on hwy 7A just north of the north part of 57. It looked pretty bad at the time but we were later told mainly scrapes and bruises with the possibility of some broken bones. We were talking with an...

One day last week I had 680 News on and the ontario Premier was flying with the traffic reporter (it was his 40th anniversary.) I am sure the Premier said she was working on allowing Motorcycels to use the HOV lanes when riding solo. Did anyone else hear this or see any other mention of this...

Okay some of you are going to say what the heck does a Canadian know about Hot Weather riding? Isn't it like someone from California or Atlanta talking about cold weather riding? I know about it because I ride a lot and I ride in the USA a lot. The last big rides I did (down to North Carolina...

My girlfriend has worn out her rear tire. She'd love a tire like my Tourance as we seem to find gravel roads in our travels but as far as I can see there aren't any tires like my Tourance that would fit the rear of her bike. (and I suspect that geometry is a bigger factor anyway.) So, we need a...

I forgot about this one: This past Tuesday I was heading into work on my bike, at the time riidng on hwy 9 west of Newmarket. There was clump of cars held back behind a semi-stealth York Regional cruiser that was in the left lane doing about 80 kph. I worked my way though traffic and got up...

Hi All, I made 200,000 km on Sunday! I bought the bike new at the end of July in 2006, and every year I seem to ride more than the year before. This year 55,000 km so far. :) ..Tom

The most common crashes that involve other vehicles are the "SMIDSY" type crash. Most commonly this is when a car makes a left turn in front of an oncoming bike; but can also be when they pull out of a sidestreet or parking lot into traffic. This is the most common crash involving motorcycles...
