...while I was riding someplace far from home but still in Canada, can I ride without a helmet to the nearest store and buy one or should I call the tow and bring my bike to the same store and buy a helmet? I tried to search for an answer in this thread but couldn't find anything. Sorry, it the...

Welcome! Nice picture!

I understand the itch - I have been circling my bike for a few days now, like a hungry shark

I just saw a couple of bikes (one is Yamaha R3 in those bright aquamarine and orange colors, and another one is Suzuki rider with Alberta's (!!) license plate) parked outside in front of my building in downtown Toronto and I sorta hanged out around bikes during lunch hoping to see those brave...

Welcome to the forum! It is nice to see another Rebel rider joining us. I rode 2022 Rebel 500 in my first year and am happy with the bike. I didn't make any modifications for a simple reason of both of my hands growing out of my @$$ and not designed by nature to do anything worthy to share or...

Thank you!

Can I join the ride? I think there is lot of work needs to be done to raise awareness about men's mental health... This issue can use as much attention as people are willing to give it to.

Welcome to the forum!

Awesome, thank you, added it to my wish list.

:love::love:

Thank you! Do you have any specific recommendations or a couple of options to look at? I gravitate to a narrow design but am unsure if it would be a practical choice.

Nah, i am far from racing lol (I want to but I don't have a bike and skills to support such a desire)

...and now I learned a new phrase, "doctor's dangle"! Google search helped me with the following explanations of why bikers do it: Lowers the center of gravity while braking Moves more weight to the rear of the bike Improves the body position of the rider and makes the rider more planted...

Thank you! Foot dragging could be inherited from bicycle riding, you are right about it. I need to work on it in the next season. Ah! That makes sense - I will check their prices then, thanks for sharing.

So, this is a recap of the first year of riding: Done 3,348 km since the moment of getting the new bike this spring. Have been riding mostly casually but have also done a fair share of highways. Honda Rebel 500 behaves well on the highway - I haven't had any issues with it in this past...

I think I have already settled my mind around NOT going via MTO for my M exam :) Perfect - thank you!

Sorry, forgot to ask - on a highway, are you required to take the defensive position in the lane? And if you change into a middle lane after the merge, what would then be the right position to take before you get out of this lane back into the right one prior to the exit?

Interesting! I don't commute much to work - still on that mostly remote arrangement and even if I had to, it adds up to a max 16 km per day total to my daily trip (unless I take a really long way around on my way back home lol) For the M test and highway portion - what you say sounds...

Hello and congrats on your M license! Thanks for the good summary, too! I wonder how many miles/kilometers you put into riding before getting into the M licenses exam? And how much of it was on highways? The reason I am asking is that at some point quantity must have tuned into quality...

Ahhh! Good to know such option exists.
