    Booking the M2 exit.

    When I was an instructor I had friends that were new riders and needed to do their M2 exit to get full M and I steered them away from spending $300 plus to take the course and told them to just take it at MTO for the $75. If they failed they know what they did wrong and can re-book and pass the...

    Booking the M2 exit.

    M2 exit to M courses don't really teach you new things they just correct bad habits and prepare you for the actual test. A good rider that has enough knowledge of what is expected during the test will do fine a save a lot of $ going through MTO

    How to Pass the Motorcycle Test to Get Your M2

    Not sure who runs the course lot you used. Technically the 2nd exercise is supposed to be run in the opposite direction. 1st exercise you are on a curve going right and 2nd exercise you are on a curve going left.

    How to Pass the Motorcycle Test to Get Your M2

    Also in exercise 2 where you stop in a box it should be noted that when you come to the stop you cannot skid (lock the rear wheel) that counts as 1 demerit if you do. All other stopping exercises ( straight line stop and stop in a curve) there is no demerit for a skid. As long as you do not...

    How to Pass the Motorcycle Test to Get Your M2

    Mostly accurate ( I was an examiner for several years) One error is that you have 12 demerits. You have 11, if you end up with 12 or more you fail the exam.

    Any companies offer insurance without a training course.

    FYI your waiting period is 22 months not 18. 18 Months is if you obtained your M2 through a course! I am sure MTO has openings. Niagara College has all kinds of availability GENI1120 Motorcycle - Basic Rider Training Course | Part-Time Studies | Niagara College Centennial has all kinds of...

    Options for home internet when you are out of the service area of the big guys

    I second that same for me with xplornet. Peak times speeds drop to almost dial up. Pisses me off when I signed up for 25 mbps service for $115 per month and the only times it is near that is when I am at work. When home to use it it sucks.

    just a pic of a bike on a bike

    Tell me how a license plate # can be useful to thieves? Having a VIN number or plate you can get a UVIP which will give some info but no addresses. A plate # which is visible to everyone on the street when you are out riding 24/7 is not useful at all except for law enforcement which are the...

    How much money do Insurance companies really spend on SS claims?

    Actually the Insurance Bureau of Canada sets the ratings for each bike model and the insurance companies base their rates on the IBC's rating. I just recently managed to have one of my bikes (Kawasaki Z900RS SE) which is a retro standard but was rated as a Sport/Naked Sport motorcycle by IBC so...
