Agree, CAA Plus is your best option. They can tow to home/dealer/shop or even to some random location. I'm with CAA for many years now and they helped me a lot (they towed my bikes twice in the last 2 years to my home). Very satisfied with them.. One word of advice, be nice with the tow truck...

For me, $2k is a hard stop. I just can't justify paying tons of money to insurance companies who don't really care about motorcyclists. I would assume that for new young riders $2.5k is a more realistic goal just because it might be difficult to find anything cheaper. Even if you have a really...

I believe, it is exactly the same as what happens with cars. Dealerships require proof of insurance before they register/plate car/bike under buyers name. As other people said, there is an option to register it as an "unfit" vehicle but I never heard that any dealership offered such option and...

And this is what I'm afraid of.. especially that looks like all these decisions are not based on any data and looks like they don't really check data.. as a person who works in IT, I'm so frustrated that they don't use their own data to make decisions.. it is so easy with modern technology and...

Do you know a way how we can force this legal test? I got dropped by Aviva this year and I'm mad on them but mostly I'm afraid that other insurance companies might see it as a good example and follow Aviva's steps.. as a result, we might find ourselves in a situation when only a couple of...

Oops, I thought it can be not a bad deal especially if price can be negotiated down to e.g. $4-4.2k (considering that it already includes "spring tax"). Looks like this bike doesn't need anything and ready to go. But I will leave it to the guys with more experience with the market

2011 GSX650F with 15000km for $4400. Looks clean, it is a great bike and it considered as a sport touring, so insurance is not bad at all: Gsx650f. | Sport Touring | Oakville / Halton Region | Kijiji

I personally wouldn't rely only to safety inspection because you never know how good they will check it (especially, if the shop has been selected by the buyer). At the same time, it should guarantee that at least basic things are ok (tires, brake pads, lights, etc). Otherwise, it would be a...

For insurance: try to check other less popular bikes. For example, for me, it was cheaper to insure Suzuki GS500 than CBR250R/300R

I saw that you plan to buy CBR125. Did you try it? It is a small bike and riding it in big boots might be a little bit uncomfortable.. I personally prefer MC specific shoes because they also provide additional protection (especially if you will get with high ankle). It's easy to damage ankle if...

Hey @MaksTO, I'm thinking about going to GP Bikes on this Thur around 6pm from 401/404 area..

Yeah, I'm doing the same and didn't notice too much dirt on the chain.. but I'm very surprised with the results of the gear oil.. I might try it next time. Not sure what is the best way to apply it, but I guess I will figure it pretty quickly

I really like these videos too. Especially the previous one about chain cleaners. However, I have some doubts about the results of Maxima Chain Wax. It doesn't look like they gave enough time for it to settle (as far as I remember, it requires at least 30mins for it). Just because based on my...

I'm interested! I have some family stuff on weekends but who knows.. What time do you plan to do these rides/meetups? Mornings/evenings? Only weekends?

status?

Based on my experience - buy a used one. It is true that you might need to spend up to $1000 on top of the purchase price in many cases (brake pads, tires, oil change, spark plugs) but that really depends on the bike. Of course, the best case if you will get some mechanic to check the bike...

This guy builds custom bikes and he makes seats as well: I saw a few of his works and they were pretty nice. His name Bram, text him: 416 989 2579. You can say that Alex gave you his info, maybe you will get some special options : ))

I would say that we need some media coverage in order to get more support from motorcyclists or politicians.. Maybe something like a huge group ride?

First of all, thank you, Mike, for all this work! It feels that these guys have everything backwards. They don't consider it as an opportunity to get more clients but more like they are doing a favor to us.. I think that $2M shouldn't be a problem if we will get around 500 people because e.g...

Looks clean and insurance shouldn't be too high! Hope someone from this forum will get it..
