    city vs. country vs. 400 series riding - risk level

    I tend to agree, highway can be safest and that moving slightly faster than everyone else makes sense. But have you noticed recently how fast people are moving in and around the city? I find drivers' speeds tend to be higher closer to the city when volume doesn't slow everyone down. No matter...

    How much do you pay for insurance?

    I am 48, but thank you. This illustrates my point exactly, how insurers tend to paint everyone with the same brush. There's a disproportionate fixation on the bike (class, CC's, # of R's in the model name) over the rider (age, yrs exp., # of tickets/claims) in determining overall risk.

    How much do you pay for insurance?

    I think you mean FZ09's LOL... — apparently all the ZX-10R Samurais have been blacklisted across the board by every single company, our resident "insurance specialist" NFP Moto reports. Perhaps explains why you typically only see them at the track.

    Flying Squirrel

    Yeah, I miss all that stuff too. Last year was so surreal on every level. Going to bike meetups — hell, anything at this point, would be a fun.

    How much do you pay for insurance?

    Yes, without question. This discussion reminds me of those GreenShield TV spots with the bald guy in the sports jacket repeating to nauseating effect "The cost of prescription drugs keeps going up"; "the cost of dental care, up", "the cost of vision care, up"... let's add to that "the cost of...

    Flying Squirrel

    Bike meetups and moto 'hang out spots' are cool once in a while, but eventually (speaking for myself here) get boring. I've been to L&L, motosocial events, Higher Ground countless times. Now, I don't really bother. Maybe it's just the pandemic and the never-ending rules and restrictions on...

    Anyone know how to fix motorcycle parts retail in Canada?

    I'm looking forward to the day we'll be able to 3D print any part for any model bike, perhaps from home or a local resource. You essentially wait for the time it takes the machine to fabricate the required part. The whole idea of centralized warehouses "stocking" and shipping parts across the...

    Anyone free on Thu (22nd) post 5pm to check out a bike around Oakville?

    Have you ever bought a motorcycle before from a private seller? Showing up to look at a bike with a random person you don't really would be a bit odd. If you're concerned about the condition of the bike and don't know what to look for then perhaps pay a licensed mechanic to accompany you to look...

    Chain and Sprockets Change

    Completely unacceptable (and unsafe). Flaring the master link requires a delicate touch. Any cracks: remove and start over. A digital caliper is rather essential to do this job correctly.

    Harley Davidson Revival Concept

    Interesting concept. Electric, swappable battery. This looks like a modern interpretation of the 11F (also the 10B, circa 1914).

    Anyone riding in Canada on (cheap) US insurance?

    Why would you do this? Doesn't really make any logical sense. Sent from my SGH-M919V using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

    It's disconcerting we're already having these discussions about winterizing/storing our bikes.
