With dirt bikes, you can have it go end-over-end land upside down, in the mud. Kick it over, pick it up and it will start every time. With a street bike if falls over on the kickstand and it's a $1000 in damage. But some of these street bikes have engines that will need little maintenance put...

Wow-what is it with “Competition” dirt bikes the average cost of 250 and 450 is $10K. For $10K you get a front brake, a back break and small single-cylinder engine and that’s it. On some models, you get a front light and backlight, but these are very basic. But for a street bike, you get high...

I was over at GP bikes the other day they had some Gas Gas trials bikes. They said they are going to bring in the entire Gas Gas line. With KTM buying a majority share of Gas Gas we are know going to have three colours to pick from White, Orange and Red. All these are pretty much the same...

Went and checked this out. A bunch of young guys with lots of dreams, all the power to them. They have said this has been five years in the making of long nights and many, many weekends. What they have done is truly remarkable, I can go riding every day, all day and its only a 30 min drive...

I see lots of the Princess Auto racks in the woods. What I see is they bend and flex, one side is always lower than the other. When attached to cars they are just about dragging on the road. I see people struggle to unload and load the bikes. I have seen the bikes being dropped while being...

Thanks for the insight and options.

Been using a small trailer - but have storage problems. Living in the big bad city I don't have the luxury that most have with a driveway that can hold ten or more cars. Nor do I have a garage that can hold three or more cars. I drive a cross over with a Class 3, 2" hitch rated for 600 lbs...

Message from the Forest! "In an effort to keep our community healthy, GRCA’s Ganaraska Forest and conservation areas will open in phases. As an update, staff are preparing to open all areas and the Ganaraska Forest to hiking on May 22, 2020. Phase 2 will allow non-motorized uses on May 29...

So far Simcoe County Forest and Northumberland are opening up this weekend. Ganaraska web site says they are still closed!! Does anyone know anything?

Did anyone for riding today? Last year at this time you would have been lucky to get a parking spot if you didn't get there good and early. Unfortunately or fortunately I stayed at home and instead spent the day on my mountain bike.

The latest news on the forest - with riding season starting in May, lets hope this does not last very long. "Keeping employees and watershed residents safe is paramount to the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority (GRCA). In light of COVID-19, the GRCA has closed all conservation areas, the...

In the short 10 hrs I have on the bike I have already found that out. Much drive out of the corners, although the 450 is really good in the single track as well. The characteristics are very different between the bike. Hill climbing is better with the 300 as its harder to stall. Maybe it is...

Good points, with my new 300 I am not going to spend much time on it. Putting it on the street means their will be a direct relationship between the throttle my licence. Maybe I should sell it, but it is a great bike. Then again an offer has been made to store it. (for a price its all yours)

This is awesome - thanks. This will get me started down the path and where to start looking. The only fear I am going to have is in the woods I am not bouncing off the rev limiter, on the road, it's going to live in the top range of the RPM. I can see trying to finding a SM version that's...

It is blue plated, I am thinking about turning it into a Supermoto. I agree on the Snowbike - nowhere really to use it as it's not allowed on the trails and being in the city too far to trailer it anywhere. At least if I turn it into a supermoto I may go back and do some track days. I spent...

Bought a new 300. Thinking about selling my 450 or turning into something else like a supermoto or even a snow bike. Only ridden in the woods so it has not had the "%@$#" driven out it. What do you think? Any ideas? Or if sell it? What do you think its worth?

Sure there is a benefit for the small shop to open the catalogue and have access to thousands of items. More importantly, they may even have terms with the disty (free money for 30/60 days). However, this all for nothing when a common way of buying is to go into a shop try the new jacket on...

Wow, how did Showrooming get into a conversation on banks, small business and disty. The issue here is we are all price-driven and it does not matter were get the items from as long as it the cheapest possible price. Let call a spade a spade, we all talk about supporting the little as long...

Let the motorcycle shops die! As we are all price-driven the solution is so simple and most are following it because one-by-one the local shops are starting to close. As well the disty's are start to go out of business. Give us one reason why we need B&M, we can get the information we need...
