So, I'm laid up with a nasty cold right now so I'm killing time on Kijiji. Searching all bikes in Ontario between 1900 and 1981 just to see what kind vintage bikes are out there. Hey, you never know right? Then I came across this AD for a Yamaha XS 650 chopper. I've always liked these and...

In case you missed it at the bike show in Toronto this passed weekend, Ride for Sight has BIG NEWS! We are hosting a destination ride/parade this year! Kickoff location is Springvale Baptist Church 3885 Stouffville Rd, Stouffville ON, L4A 7X5 Registration starts at 8:00am Pancake...

It's that time of year again when we all start chomping at the bit to get out riding and start wondering when the demo rides are going to be and where they will be. So, I guess it's time to start the 2017 thread! So far, as near as I can tell, only Honda has their schedule up online, so here...

I just found my old Virago for sale! Well, actually it JUST sold, but still, that's pretty cool! I bought this '96 Virago 1100 brand new in '98 at Ab's Motorcycles in Oshawa. I was just 16yrs old. I rode it until 2010, when I gave it to my Wife and bought my '01 Bandit. She rode it until...

Hey all. Just a reminder to swing by the Ride for Sight booth if you are at the Spring Show this weekend! We have big news: THE PARADE IS BACK THIS YEAR!!! Get all the latest info on what's happening with Ride for Sight 2017, grab a brochure, register at the booth, maybe grab some RFS swag...

Read this the other day and thought it was well worth a share. It talks about why cars don't see us. It doesn't offer up a solution to the problem, but seeing the numbers explained like this helps to understand how it happens. I also like the part about how many of us (myself included) don't...

Don't forget to swing by the Ride for Sight booth at the Toronto Motorcycle Show February 17-19! Ride for Sight will be having our annual kick-off meeting on the 18th. Come by and say hi and get the latest on all things Ride for Sight!

Anyone know of a GTA (preferably east) shop that carries Shuberth helmets? I am about due for a new helmet and I want the QUIETEST helmet I can find and after a lot of searching, the S2 (full face) or C3 (modular but apparently even quieter than the S2) are on my short list. If I'm going to...

.......and Ride for Sight has listened! Ride for Sight has gotten rid of the $10 registration fee and minimum fundraising is back to just $75! Where else can you have a whole weekend's worth of fun for so little? Team GTAM always has a great time at Ride for Sight and we are always happy to...

I will be running a Ride for Sight information booth at Haugen's Chicken and Ribs at their weekly motorcycle cruise-in night on Thursday June 2! Come by and get the latest info, ask questions about what RFS is really like from someone who has been going for 18 years now, pick up a fundraising...

Was reading his article and thought I'd share it. It's not impossible to turn around, lots of companies have, but they are definitely behind the eight ball, financially speaking. http://www.cyclenews.com/2016/03/article/mv-agusta-files-for-chapter-11-bankruptcy/

So Kawasaki is bringing their Z125 pro to the USA! Finally some competition in the monkey bike category! I currently have a Sachs Madass in the garage but have a feeling either a Grom or Z125 is in my future. These little bikes are tons of fun and offer the most smiles per $ spent out of any...

I just confirmed that I will be attending the annual Ride for Sight meeting at the February motorcycle show and working the Ride for Sight booth on the Saturday from 2-5pm! Come by and get all the latest Ride for Sight info and updates, buy some swag, or just say HI! Cheers, Morrissey

Came across this article and had to post. I see lots of guys on here saying that a Grom is too small, it's a toy, it's only good in the city etc. This guy just proved you're wrong. http://lanesplitter.jalopnik.com/this-nutty-bastard-rode-a-honda-grom-from-portland-to-1625358412

I knew this day would come eventually. After 17 years, my 1996 Virago 1100cc has been sold. I bought her brand new (non-current) off the showroom floor back in 1998 when I was a few months shy of my 17th birthday. No bank would touch me for financing even though I was working a full time job...

Has anyone here heard anything about the Yamaha SR400 coming to Canada? The closest I can find is an article about a guy from Newfoundland test riding one but it doesn't say anything about the bike coming here or not. I am quite interested in this bike and would give it a serious look if it...

I might have lost my mind, or else I found more fun per cc/$ than anyone should be able to have. I recently purchased a 2011 Sachs Madass! It is so much fun it is stoopid. I was looking for a small displacement bike to kick around town and bomb down some of the local concessions on. Clearly...

So, Peterborough has a new bike night. Again. It is every Thursday at 6pm-8:30pm at Peterborough Cycle Salvage on Hwy 7. All bikes welcome. Supporting Big Brothers and Big Sisters. They are advertising a "Mystery Draw Prize" each week and free hotdog for all riders. If you are looking for...
