I went the all-in-one route for a few years with various Gore-tex clones, but they all seem to lose their water resistance after a few years of baking in the sun. After my $500 Revit jacket left me soaking wet one too many times, I switched over to the liner/outer system. I've had good success...

This time of year, you've got plenty of time to shop around. Visit some dealers and sit on as many bikes as you can. Visit the motorcycle supershow in January to get most of them in one place. I would recommend taking a rider training course (M1 exit course). I grew up riding dirt bikes and...

While the adhesives may slightly weaken the shell material over time, it's much more likely that the camera or mount will either get stuck on something in a slide and cause a twisting motion or that it will act as a focal point during an impact (ie: instead of the impact being spread over the...

To return to the title question, I don't think that Star Trek has been ruined at all. Every iteration has been completely different, appealing to audiences that have changed over time. In general, people these days are more aware of science, especially fictional science so the methods used in...

I've got my coverage through TD Meloche Monnex (different from regular TD). If you have an alumni or professional association with a group policy through someone like TDMM you could save fairly big. I've had the bike, car and apartment with TDMM for 6 years. The car went up $190 on this...

It's a dirt bike. 80km is more than enough range to whip around Ganaraska for 2-3 hours in blissful peace and quiet. Freaking out the hikers as you come flying silently around a corner is just icing on the cake. I've never used that particular electric, but the one I did ride was fantastic...

Looks like the mounting points on the Rebel are right out in the open so shouldn't be too hard to fab up a couple of brackets. Have a local welding shop whip up a couple of tubular racks with Givi compatible mounting points and tack on a couple of arms to bolt it in place. We have a guy we use...

It looks like they're trying to transition from the flyer-based model to a proper online store. They've been pretty slow about adding items to the online store but it looks like they are finally getting there. I think they started by adding the snowmobile stuff, then ATV/Motocross then street...

Just curious how you managed to get a knee replacement at 48. My boss hobbles around on a knee that's been absolutely wrecked and OHIP won't pay for a replacement because he's too 'young'. He just turned 60.

Yep. Licencing structure goes: Written test -> get M1 licence M1 exit exam (parking lot test available from a training course or direct from Drive Test) -> get M2 licence M2 exit exam (road test available from a training course or direct from Drive Test) -> get full M licence All of the...

Welcome to GTAM and to riding. Cruisers can be easy to learn on due to the low seat height (makes it easy to put your feet down quickly if you get tipsy when moving slowly). Just be aware that they can get very heavy if you go for a big engine. They can also be a bit pig-ish in terms of...

Anyone use the Backroads mapbook for Cottage Country? It covers a triangle from Toronto-North Bay-Cornwall. http://www.backroadmapbooks.com/backcountry-maps/backroad-mapbooks/ontario-backroad-maps/cottage-ontario-backcountry-maps I bought their Newfoundland book for a trip last year and...

Greetings all, I've been enjoying the forum for a while now and figured that I should probably step out of the shadows and say hi. So, uh, hi! As you might be able to tell from my name I'm on a KLR650 and have been for the last 4 years, 3 of which have been in Whitby. Anyway, I don't really...
