As others have said, I feel that distracted driving is at least on par with drinking and driving, if not worse, since the driver is making a conscious, unimpaired, choice to not pay attention to the road. The challenge is convicting people of this. Drinking and driving is a criminal offense...

I've had my 2006 SV650S since new. The first 9 years, I lived with the clip-ons and knocked out plenty of long days (900+ kms), but a few years ago I did the LSL Superbike bar conversion and it's helped me to keep enjoying this bike. It's a really nice motor and overall package, but the...

If you're looking at new, the Yamaha XT is overpriced IMO. The Honda CRF250L and Kawasaki KLX250 (2018 model) are both liquid-cooled and fuel-injected. The KLX has adjustable suspension. Both are only $200 - $300 more than the XT MSRP, but are much more modern bikes. Edit: Just checked the...

Buddy was walking past the shoe department in the Scarbourough Walmart @ 401 when he heard / saw a lady instruct her son to pee in a shoe box because it was too much hassle to walk to the bathroom.

Kriega tail bag straps around the seat, not the tail section, so no concern with exhaust or paint. +1 for the Kriega 20L bag. Enough room for laptop, cords, lunch, spare gloves and a bit more, plus waterproof (not a waterproof cover, just waterproof). https://kriega.us/bike-packs-1/

I may just do that. Moving a couple hours outside the GTA in 6 weeks. I started at 8 years old, so why not for my kids? We'll have access to the space.

My son turns 7 in July and has been asking about going for a ride on my bike. I haven't taken him yet, partially due to his attention span (or lack thereof), and partially due to the other wonderful GTA drivers. He could legally ride with me as his feet easily reach the pegs. The irony of...

Along with the "style", there were many other improvements with each update. The styling is just any easy indicator that they're old and out-of-date, and most riders would prefer new and improved if the increased cost is minimal / acceptable. I'm not much for posing; my 2006 SV has far more...

My "big" vehicle is a Honda CRV and, honestly, it fits the bill easily for 95% of what we do. The problem is that it's a terrible tow vehicle. It has a 1500 lb tow rating, but it doesn't even tow a double bike trailer with a single bike on it very well. I'd really like to get a small...

Microsoft OneDrive?

The irony is that I find the two Stroms you linked overpriced. Style-wise, both are two generations behind. Both have 50,000+ kms (personally I don't find this too bad, but the market plummets beyond this magic number), and the one is 11 years old and still asking more than 50% of original...

Very cool, but I would not like to clean that swingarm or frame!

Is this your own bike / ad?

Re: Flying the bike - booked for Mid June for BC The logic regarding cost seems generally flawed to me. You have 14 days where you'll be paying for lodging, food, and gas. Whether a bunch of those days are "commuting" vs already being in B.C. is irrelevant from a cost perspective. Whether...

If you're renting the canoes, don't cheap out; spend the extra $3/day to upgrade to the kevlar canoes. You'll be happy you did before the midpoint of your first portage. Instant oatmeal is a pretty decent breakfast item; light, easy to pack, easy to cook, the waste can be used to help start a...

Both of my current vehicles are Certified Pre-Owned (CPO). One was a 3 year old lease return, the other a 2 year lease return. A vehicle that meets the manufacturers CPO requirements would typically be in almost new condition and will get an extended factory warranty (Mazda is 7 years /...

Any chance I can get a link too, please?

I just use my empty oil containers to hold the waste oil and drop it off at the municipal hazardous drop off site every once in a while.

"Looking to get a new helmet for my bike" - Why does you bike need a helmet??? GP Bikes in Ajax has a lot of variety in stock. Their prices may not be the best, but they're reasonable, and going to a brick and mortar store gives you the opportunity to actually try them on and see what fits...

I looked for some solid gold plating, but didn't see any. He's asking double what it's worth.
