The way the whole M1 situation works now with insurance is that they basically make taking the M2 training course a requirement. That way you get the necessary skills, training, and familiarity with a few different bikes. It's not a bad thing, and it should be re-written to include it so new...

Figured the H2SX would be very nice, I've been eyeing it personally. In what way did you find it underwhelming?

Got to love insurance companies, I feel like I get ****** every year. So I switched to All-State cause the deal was pretty good. Signed the contract for the monthly payments, paid my first month no issues. Now All-State called saying they have a new policy stating you need to pay your whole...

I'd never 2 up unless I knew the rider or passenger well enough, but cash in hand is the way to go. If they are serious in buying it they should have the money easily as buying a motorcycle shouldn't be breaking the bank and it shows they are serious.

I would think so. I gave them the VIN number. Reiterated this is a 1300cc motorcycle to which they understand 100%. They read the specs of the bike back to me as if "I" didn't know what the bike was. They also tried to get me to pay for the 3 weeks it was insured with them, when I didn't even...

Same thing happened to me, Wawanesa as well last year. Bought a 2010 Hayabusa, gave them the VIN and everything. They gave me a rate of $890 a year. I double checked with them that you know this bike, cause that's a great rate but it seems too good to be true. They reassured me it's all good and...

If you're shopping around for insurance this year I'd give All-State a call. I was paying 3K a year with Desjardins insurance for a 2010 Hayabusa with an "at fault" accident 9 years ago. It's 10 years and off my record now, and they were willing to shave off $120 a year. I called All-State who...

Well it definetly looks scrambled.

Always been a sportbike lover, but if I was going to hang up the racing boots for a cruiser type I'd get an Indian. The Indian Scout Bobber looks beautiful, and I've only heard good things about it. https://www.indianmotorcycle.com/en-ca/scout-bobber-sixty/

My first car was a 2000 Hyundai Tiburon. Ran pretty good until the clutch went and dumped oil all over the road. Took it in and got it fixed. The mechanic said that was the most ****** up clutch he's ever worked on. Said it was completely backwards on a car and the only one he saw that was...

Used Accelerated Tech as well for my CBR600rr. Mike did some good work and the price was good. From what I understand he use to work for a Yamaha race team.

Funny you say that because this happend to me at a Canadian tire about a month ago. I was halfway through filling it up when it just cut out and she tells me I need I need to dismount to continue filling it. Uh...I prepaid so I'm not running off when I'm done you moron. I now never go to that...

I know for my Busa on Sportmax Q3+ its recommended 42/42.

I was going to get those for the gym and instead went with a Beats headset. I'll check them out online.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I just bought 2 new helmets this year, so I'm not too keen on spending another $600+ on another. I've read a number of threads about the wireless ones you can fit in the helmet, but wasnt sure if I wanted to **** around with the inner helmet to configure them...

I'm the type of driver / rider that always needs to listen to music. On the bike it actually keeps me more focused and concentrated. My dilemma is I've always used cheap piece of **** skull candies with the wire because they fit in my ear well with my helmet over it. Every wireless bud I've seen...

Guess Im the devils advocate. I started on an R6 - loved it, learned a lot, transitioned to a bigger bike. To the naysayers that say getting a 600cc bike = death, I say ********. It depends on the person. Respect the bike; that is all. You can take a 600 and ride it like a 300 but have room to...

Pretty common for every racer / rider. Once you have a major injury you never go that fast again, assuming you didnt get brain damage. The physio I went through after breaking my back + a ton of other bones goes through my head every time I twist the throttle.

Maybe not what the threads intended for but I wonder if my loud pipes actually save me from the wild life. I have the hot bodies shorty exhausts on my busa and yea, it sounds like a diesel freight train coming through. However I live in animal country where when I'm driving my truck I see deer...

At the end of the day it all depends on the rider and what you take away from track and street. Of the people I've met at track one could argue it gives them a superiority complex when it comes to going back to the street. "I can run Calabogie in 2:05 Im going to just whiz through this 507...
