That really sucks, sorry to hear. Just wondering why you were thinking of picking up a different bike? Were you thinking of another ADV? I have about 2000kms on my T7 now and would re-buy it in a heartbeat if something happened.

I use 3M foam ones, and they work very well. I cut them down a bit so my helmet doesn't knock them off when I put them on...it lets a bit more noise in which probably a good thing IMO. I had tried generic foam ones from Walmart previously and didn't like them at all. When you squish them, they...

How do you find the latching mechanism? I'm thinking of picking one up because of how light it is but have heard mixed reviews that.

Yamaha ruined the MT with that new headlight, sad to see that Suzuki is doing the same.

Legault has said everyone who wants one will be vaccinated by June 24th in Quebec, so hopefully things will be back to normal by then.

I use to do something similar - a travel pack of 10 wet wipes and a travel pack of kleenex. Works well. I recently switched to bringing individually wrapped lens cleaners - you can buy a massive pack from Walmart for pretty cheap. I prefer them because you don't have to dry afterwards, just...

I agree. I'm in favour of the measures, including the curfew, as I pretty firmly believe they're needed to save lives. But I also understand why some people would oppose them and want to protest. It's just a shame that the protests are always filled with the anti-mask conspiracy theorists. It...

I wouldn't buy a used helmet either... I doubt you'll be able to get much for them unfortunately.

I'm in Quebec and have been dealing with a curfew since Christmas. It's not so bad if you work a normal schedule, but I definitely feel for the people that get off work at like 7:30pm and have no time to do anything.

Thinking of making the same trip myself towards the end of the summer. For those who are considering doing the Trans-Taiga as well, what is your plan for gas? Mirage outfitters is at km 358, so it looks like you need 616km of autonomy to get to the end of the TT and back to Mirage? That's quite...

Lots of good suggestions in this thread. On my Versys I ended up buying a second-hand custom made seat on Facebook Marketplace which was a huge improvement. One thing I always wonder is why do manufacturers make seats so hard in the first place? Is it really too much to ask for an extra half...

I feel you. I started the process for getting my license last year in February, before the **** hit the fan. Finally started the lessons in July and passed the test in August. Hope you find a solution.

So he notices the guy can't drive stick and decides the best course of action is have him do a u-turn and distract him the entire time with questions? What an idiot. If the guy can't drive it then tell him to pull over and shut up while he's doing it.

I have a Cardo Freecom 1+. The + in the name indicates that you can talk to a passenger, but not people on other bikes. They also sell ones where you can talk to other riders. I'm very satisfied. Volume is good, and you can hear it pretty clearly when wearing ear plugs. I do have issues with...

I used a RAM X Grip for the past year, but just switched over to a Quadlock. Such a huge improvement. The problem with the X Grip is that if you have power/volume buttons on the side of your phone, it's almost impossible to avoid hitting them with the grips. You either have to have the phone...

Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but I never miss an opportunity to hop off the bike and stretch my legs. Always A.

I'm considering picking up a Grom as a second bike, primarily to learn how to stunt, but also to ride around the city. For those who have one, how much do you actually ride it? Used ones never seem to have more than a few thousand KMs. It seems like people pick them up, ride a few times and get...

I just looked through the 9 articles I had posted again (fatal accidents involving another vehicle in OPP territory), and 7 of those articles specifically mention (or have photos that demonstrate) contact between the motorcyclist and the vehicle. The other two articles include the word...

I hadn't thought about that, but it still doesn't add up. Here are 9 fatal accidents that the OPP responded to and that involved another vehicle in 2020: https://www.cp24.com/news/motorcyclist-dead-2-others-in-hospital-after-collision-west-of-bradford-1.5181497?cache=uhposhkob%3FclipId%3D89619...

Here are 10 articles from 2020 announcing motorcycle fatalities that mention a collision with another vehicle. This took me about 10 minutes to find. I could easily find more, but 10 is already more than the 5 the OPP are stating...
