    New rider getting denied insurance everywhere :(

    You mention you got your M1 earlier this month and you've booked rider training through Learning Curves mid August. Honestly I would not even bother calling insurance companies for quotes at this point until you have obtained your M2 license. The more sensible approach, I would suggest you...

    Anxiety about track school

    I think a certain amount of anxiety is both normal and healthy. You'll have so much fun. I can't think of anything more awesome than enrolling in a riding school where you're able to gain instruction on a closed-course track — arguably a much safer environment to learn cornering and other...

    KTM selling Pol Espagro's bike for Euro 288K !!

    Would be awesome in the hands of someone like Jordan Szoke or Ben Young, but... someone correct me if I'm wrong, CSBK cap PRO/AM Superbike horsepower at 200. That's so very right. Since joining the factory-supported KTM team in 2017 Pol Espargaro has only seen 1 MotoGP podium. In 2017 he...

    whats the purpose of some ppl using license plate hiders/flippers?

    I'd say it's not so much 407/evasion but more about aesthetics for some riders prefer the look of a clean tail section with an integrated taillight and license plate holder that doesn't protrude at a right or obtuse angle, but rather follows the lines of the bike's undertail. In Canada and the...

    Hit and run on my parked bike

    Really sorry to hear about this situation and I feel your pain. The culprit leaving the scene without leaving any sort of note or contact information shows an egregious lack of empathy. "#3. F this truck driver. .." I felt exactly the same years ago when a delivery truck hit and damaged my...

    Tire change

    I'm really intrigued, you mention the tires are Pirelli Rosso Corsa's and they've been on the bike since 2013. Is that right? That means you're riding around on tires that are 7 or 8-years old. But here's the thing, they could be even older than that! Take a look on the sidewall for a 4-digit...

    CEO of Motorcycle Ride Sharing Nigerian App 'Gokada'- found Dismembered in NYC Apartment

    Regarding the Riders Share story, this little (but significant) detail is intriguing: "The company leverages machine learning to screen and vet riders before allowing them to rent on the platform." and "By using machine learning to underwrite each customer, Riders Share is able to mitigate the...

    Selling a Bike these days

    Exactly. A potential buyer that only wants to communicate via texts and makes an offer sight unseen? Not serious at all. A buyer should always call the owner and ask when (day/time) it would be convenient to view the bike. Be flexible.

    Aviva/RBC won't renew my policy even though my record is clean - anyone ever experienced this?

    Have you tried TD? Riders Plus are a good option too but I believe they won't insure any sport or supersport at or above 600cc. Like others have said, change up your ride to something a little more insurance friendly. I'd try a Yamaha R3, Ninja 300 or 400. Good luck. Sent from my SGH-M919V...

    507 not like heaven.....

    I rode the 507 last month with a friend and we had similar impressions. What happened? I was thinking. This road has lost its lustre. I remember it being much better a few years ago. The road surface conditions were generally mediocre to poor most of the way up to Gooderham with just a few...

    What a scary ride yesterday

    None of OPs story surprises me. Southern Ontario is what it is. Too many cars, too many people driving at a time when social anxieties are at an all-time high. Sent from my SGH-M919V using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app
