FYI - myself and my colleague Aftab will act as lead and chase for Powersports TO's Suzuki Demo Day next Thursday July 21. Come ride some fast bikes (responsibly!) with us! 🤙 [Below is a re-post from the Dealer/Vendor forum, hope that's okay.] Powersports TO is thrilled to be hosting a Suzuki...

They've been pretty good to me so far, but yeah some backordered stuff just gets pushed back and back again. I need more helmets, dammit.

Having worked in the moto parts industry for a few months now, I see it happen all the time. Could be a dropship order that relied on erroneous inventory data. It's a bit chaotic out there right now.

Looks like Bell sells them directly (US only) for US$9.95 - your Bell dealer will be able to order you a set.

I retract my vote for the CB500x. OP, get this.

My bad, I skimmed the OP and missed that part. I would DQ the SV650 on the basis of its riding position, but for short commutes it would be fine. First-gen CB500x with some go-less-slow bits would be my top vote.

Got caught in the storm while in Caledon, in a botched attempt to hit the Forks and come back before the nasty weather hit. Had no idea it was going to be this bad, and I missed the emergency alerts while riding up from TO. Oops. It was a mostly uneventful ride home all things considered...

Tiger 660

Most aftermarket knee/elbow pads should fit unless the pockets are weirdly shaped or unusually tight.

My Motobatt AGM lasted 8 years and I neglected the **** out of it. Woulda bought another one but I got a good deal on a regular lead acid Yuasa. Let's see what happens.

Haha, yes. People here like to make fun of Toronto's shoebox condos but my 850sq ft 2br is properly palatial compared to the place my brother was renting in St-Germain-des-Prés while he was working there. From memory it was 28 square meters (300 sq ft) and the rent was 1400 Euros... that was 20...

Did exactly the same for years in CityPlace/Fort York, oil changes, carb cleans and the like at night. I pushed my luck one day by replacing my steering head bearing out on the street 😆 (condo garage was dark af) but even then the friendly parking enforcement lady gave me two hours to wrap it up...

Dainese all day erry day. It's probably a very individual thing but the fit and pre-curve are perfect. Love my 4-Strokes.

Your bike is more of a swiss army knife than an ADV. I would eliminate naked because the geometry is going to be too similar. Cruisers with forward controls are going to feel weird coming from a Strom, IMO and all that. Supersport/superbike make no sense on the street. Fight me. My combo of...

Thanks guys! 🍻 @bigpoppa I just talked to the big boss, and

Happy to report that I will be making the jump to the moto industry next month. 😎 Not as a mechanic or apprentice - I'll be doing something very much aligned with my experience and skillset. More room to grow too, I think. And it all happened thanks to this thread. 🙏 Can't wait to get started...

What are you men doing to my thread jk, carry on

I just looked it up, Mimico GO to Whitby is 75 mins best-case scenario, $11 each way, so ~$440 a month for the privilege of riding the train up to 3 hours a day. Haven't crunched the numbers but driving costs and travel time would likely be even worse. Makes no sense either way, not for an...

These jokes work on so many levels.

Thank you sir! 🍻
