Good luck on the course. A bike stored for 20 years could cost more than to resurrect than buying one that already runs. Damn I loved my XS 650 Special!!

33 years. I hope to ride 'till I'm ready for the walker.

Welcome, I too had a hiatus of about 20 years. While you may may "never really do forget", the amount of inattentive car drivers has increased exponentially during your absence. Be doubly alert, and don't let your confidence about your riding skills cloud your judgement - the dangers to us...

Time to bite the bullet Gamer486 and get the insurance and the temp plate: 109 Cycle safetied my wife's bike recently. Art Newman (Service Manager) is hilarious with his sarcastic stories and a great guy to deal with. 550 Warden Ave. Unit 1 (NW corner). 109cycle@bellnet.ca 416-699-9090.

2015 is shaping up nicely. Alexandria Bay, NY for for the Thousand Islands River Run. Watkins Glen for the Finger Lakes Wine Festival (bikes will be parked). Georgian Bay Light house tour - Wasaga Beach Motorcycle Rally. Pelee Island Winery, (bikes parked), staying on the mainland. Algonquin...

As some of you may know, my wife bought her first bike just before Christmas. (and all I got was a tie! LOL). I rode her bike (great little beast) to 109 Cycle at 550 Warden Ave. (at Danforth Rd) for its safety check. When we arrived we were greeted by Art Newman (service manager) who knew...

I don't care what anyone says, (not that I'd actually care), but I love going to the show, not necessarily for shopping but just for the fun of getting out in the dead of winter to check out things bike related, meeting people - both new and old, planning summer bike trips etc. Yes there are...

Hey baggsy, some friends went to Urban Tactical in Brantford! They shot everything from Hand guns to 50 cal. Southern Ontario's Best Shooting Experince. Open to the public with no license, membership or previous experience required. http://www.urbantactical.com/the-range I'm planning to...

Thanks shanekingsley, a friend is is trailering it for us. Thanks for the recommendation on kneedragger88.

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. She has booked for March 31, 2015 with Rider Training Institute (DVP/401) and bought her first bike last Saturday... She can flat foot with bent knees and feels she can manage the weight!!! Whoot whooot... Can't wait for spring! Ok, next...

Once again, thank you for the useful advice. (most appreciated). Dresden, thanks again, I'll send her a pic of the FZ07, although she has never swung a leg over a "sport bike", we won't be getting 2015. Basmn, thank you for your comment; your're right, that is way too much money to spend on...

Wow, thanks again for the useful advice, meme; we'll check out the U200 and Rebel. (I was joking with my son about getting her a cafe racer already - so he and I could blast around on it). She sat on the sportster (1200 Custom) at last years show and looked great on it. Flat footing is no...

Thanks meme, Dresden, Joe Bass and DejaVu. I called RTI, she wants to book it right away, regardless of the $25.00 discount offered at the bike show. Yahooooo! :D

Thank you for your replies, I think my wife wants to book it soon, before there is no space left. Does anyone know which outfit operates at the DVP and401?

Thanks for the recommendations... She bought her first bike and signed up for RTI... See her new bike on post # 25 Hello everyone, a happy, yet sad day has arrived at our household. My passenger of 30 years has succumbed to the pressures of our female riding friends and has announced she...

The "WARRIORS DID IT". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV4cgs-bPic Welcome to the riding community.

So my 2007 Vulcan 1500FI is in need of some service. As the title indicates - time for new bearings. If you could be so kind as to recommend a shop for the above mentioned service, I would appreciate it. Preferred location, east end of Toronto. Thanks SeaBreez

You're right about Port Union... Most houses on my street go for sale on Friday with the sold sign posted on Monday. True, it's all about location. A neighbor down the street was all smiles after said bidding war. Rent, own, new or used the debate will never end. What to do, what to do...

Having just returned from the Adirondacks...here are some suggestions - I felt Alexandria Bay N.Y., on Hwy 12 just as you cross into the states (at Lansdowne) was a much more scenic place to stay than Watertown, Lake Placid was nice too, if you can get a room. Also Burlington Vt. would be my...

Get well soon. Just glad it was not worse, I hope your bones mend quickly.
