So my nephew is going for his M2 course at "Learning Curves". How strict are they if you show up in jeans, t-shirt, gloves and construction boots? NO leather jacket. Will he be able to do the course anyways? Can he get away wearing a long-sleeve shirt instead? He doesn't want to buy a...

This was here in Toronto. At this bike store/mechanic shop that was near Pine Valley Dr and Steeles Ave W.

Why would I lie and give this bike shop free advertisement? I got charged $375, don't remember if it was plus tax or straight cash. Mind you this was back in 2013 I think.

I didn't pay for a college course for the M, I paid the course for the M2 because it's obligatory.

I got charged $375 at that time to fix my gearbox problem, that's not bad, so it was worth it.

Well he might be the last of the old school mechanics let in the GTA, because Ted Rosey doesn't count, now he just wants to certify bikes and change tires. I told him this in his face too, so I'm not back-biting him. He refused to work on my gearbox, I told him; "Holy hell Ted, you should just...

Yep, my problem was with the 2nd gear. C'mon man, you have to be a sloth with marshmallow hands to take you 10 hours to fix a gearbox on a motorcycle, my friend, who is a car mechanic, assembles an entire car engine in 3.5 hrs.

I don't think cops enforce that. I've seen OLD Ontario plates on some cars that don't have one indentifiable number/letter and I don't believe that no cop has stopped behind them.

Mechanics in that country are miles ahead of mechanics in Canada, who don't want to get their hands dirty and are too lazy to fix the problem. I had a transmission/gear box problem with my Yamaha XT, went to a fancy shop that is always glorified here on GTAMotorcycle and they told me "We don't...

Damn, we will lose an icon, a legend. Anybody knows if someone else will take over his shop and continue?

In 2004 when I was going for my M2 at Humber College there was this guy who had the M2 for 5 years and let it expired and now was back at the college paying $450 and starting from zero again. Get you "M". I got it at Downsview with the Ministry, the place that fails the most people in all of...

Who told you he was retired and why say it?

Why didn't you go for the 2 years now that it's free? That's what I did. Nothing changes at the MTO, the only difference is that you don't pay and you don't get stickers, but you have to report/renew as always.

Same with an acquiantence of mine, told me to help him, that his bike would shut off as soon as he tried to go. I went, grabbed his bike and it worked just fine. He didn't lift the leg of the bike up, it will start but it won't go if you leave it down.

I'm definitely riding until November. Once you dress up nicely and endure the cold initial wind your body becomes numb and even warm while riding at 5 C.

It took 4 different mechanics and 3 weeks to resolve, maybe you guys will learn a lesson. Back in 2011 while motorcycling in my wife's country, we stopped at a Shell station at around 9 pm to eat. When we tried to start the bike to go home it cranked but no firing up. I must have ran out of...

It had ABS, otherwise I would have hit the guy or crashed. I think that's why I didn't fall down, or found skid marks when I went after. Probably the "wheels locking" was my imagination? I have had less dramatic incidents with an older bike with NO ABS and it behaved the same way, they both...

Well now I know how it feels when you're about to die. The "all your life flashes before you" split seconds before impact is true. On Saturday morning I was riding towards a BBQ at a park where my family and friends were already waiting for me, I decided to ride in the morning and would drop...

For $3,000 you can buy a bad-ass bike in Texas, they are abundant and people are not into it like here in Ontario. I used to live both in Dallas and Houston, Tx by the way.
