I picked up a Berik textile jacket while in Korea but didn't purchase pants. When I came to Canada I picked up some Dainese textile pants but the zipper doesn't fit (of course). Any recommendations as to a place I can go to get a zipper sewed into both the jacket and pants so that they can zip...

I was planning out a trip to Moose Jaw to see a buddy of mine in June. Thinking of four days to get there. Sleep outside of Sault Ste. Marie, Thunder Bay, and Winnipeg. I just looked up some camping fees and it's like $35 a night just for a place to put my tent from KOA! Is this regular and...

So after trying the side mount using GoPro parts I picked up a RAM mount plus 6" and 18" arms. Here's today's video with the 6" arm attached to the passenger foot peg mount. http://jonp.ca/FdZn I have a test vid of what I'd like to do with the 18" arm here: http://jonp.ca/FdZY The 18" arm...

So I just noticed that my M1 expired months ago. I got it in August after I came back from Korea. I tried to book the M1X test in late Nov. because I had to wait 90 days before doing so. But it now appears that my license expired on the first possible opportunity to get the M2! Is this...

So I received a couple of tickets: one for passing on the shoulder in heavy traffic on the 401 and one for failure to show insurance. However, I forgot (yep, forgot) that I only have my M1. The officer noticed but he didn't issue a ticket for that. Should I show up and fight these anyway or...

Beautiful weather this week. I'm glad March Break started when it did! Here are a couple of vids I shot for those of you who are stuck at work :) http://youtu.be/bp81rVK2Qts http://youtu.be/zw_DH_kxTQU

I was thinking of selling my six month old Shoei QWEST and replacing it with a flip-up helmet. Not sure how much I'd like to spend but I was looking at the SHOEI flip-ups for about $400-500 and the BMW System 6 for ~$900. The flip-ups are couldn't possibly be as safe in a crash as a regular...

I did a search and wasn't able to find info on this. I haven't yet crossed on my bike and it's been years since I've crossed in a car (living overseas). Do motorbikes have a separate line to go to while crossing? Or does it depend on the border? I'm thinking specifically Niagara Falls since I...

It was a bit cold but nothing too bad. I wanted to see how the GoPro would look mounted in different positions. I went back home when flurries started to fall :p http://youtu.be/i3IGp8W_C_M

So I don't think I'll survive without riding through the winter. Are there any companies that will truck your bike down to the southern US and drop you off, let you ride down, and truck it back with you in it? Or services that would somehow get my bike down there? Or am I better off just flying...

I'd been riding for three years in Korea before coming back to Canada. I got my M1 in late August and now it's late November so I'm ready to do the M1x test. I'm not going to bother with taking the basic training + test because I've already got my basic skills down. (Going to spend the money on...

I checked with State Farm and my insurance only covers my motorbike when ridden in Canada and the US. If I were to take a trip through South America or across to Europe and Africa how do I go about getting insurance? Can I get theft/accident in addition to liability?

So as some of you are aware I just got back to Toronto a few weeks ago. I'll be living in a condo starting next week and parking my motorcycle there. I've been reading a lot about condo theft but I have a few questions. 1. Would a recent BMW F800R be a target of theft? I was told that because...

I've been riding in Korea for three years and just got back to Toronto a few days ago. In Korea, everyone lane splits (and is expected to) because it's safer to be at the front of a pack of cars when the light turns green. And I never had to watch my speed; just went as fast as I was comfortable...

Looking for a 2008 (or around that year) FZ6 (not the R) in black. Kijiji is filled with blue and red ones only. Please send me a PM with pics and price. Thanks very much.

I had my eye on a used FZ6 up until a few weeks ago (and posted here http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?142564-Upgrade-to-an-FZ6-as-my-second-motorcycle). However, I prefer a fully naked bike but can't get that here in North America. I love the styling of the F800R and the...

I'd like to pull the trigger on a vanity plate. However, I don't have my Ontario license or a bike yet. Can I order the plates before this and just bring them when I register the bike?

Currently riding a Hyosung GT250R here in Korea and will sell when I get back to Canada in August. I've done a lot of research and think a 2007 or 2008 FZ6 would be a decent upgrade. I checked out the insurance and it'll be about $2000 since I'll only have my M1 (never ridden in Canada). So no...

Hey everyone. I'm a Canadian currently living in South Korea and heading back to Toronto in late August. I ride a Hyosung GT250R here and have for the past couple of years years. As soon as I get back I'll be getting my Ontario licence and picking up a Yamaha FZ6. I'm looking forward to riding...
