    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    That's funny. My guys going on an archeological dig, though his brother is moving to New York as well. Ad was for a 2007 CBR600RR, 27K Km on it. $3000.

    A No Brainer. Biking without a helmet.

    After riding on a motorcycle with a helmet, and getting back into riding a bicycle, bicycle helmets look like beanie helmets to me. I really don't have much faith in it protecting me all that much.

    BC 299 km/h suspect not guilty.

    I hadn't actually watched the video until just now, and I figured how bad could it really be. And my mind was blown by how dangerous that was. Though he did actually avoid an SUV changes lanes fairly easily by the looks of it.

    Mineral Springs Road wipe out

    Well I feel a bit bad. I took two guys new to riding this year out for a scenic ride through Ancaster/Dundas. We never made it to Dundas. In retrospect my casual pace of 50-60, was still probably a bit fast for newer riders in some of the turns there, and the left turn just before the two really...

    Special Thanks to Ashley from Sturgess Cycle

    I think I got there just about when the lead pack of the split group got back. For the 3 rides I went on, it was almost gaurenteed to be split up either turning left onto King (which you then had to get 3 lanes over to make a right), or at the Dundurn/York lights. But the lead just slowed down...

    2013 Demo Days

    Well, I have to say I had a great time at the Honda demo ride at Sturgess. Went with a buddy who lent me a com set so we could both talk about the bikes as we were riding. Tried the CB1000, NC700X, and the CBR500R. The route was nice, though I was a little disappointed when we turned off just...

    questions about RADAR detectrors and what do the police use?

    I'm still curious about mounting the system in your jacket. I mean a cop is going to do just about whatever he pleases, but I'd think it would be harder for them to search you than your vehicle. Might be easier to fight in court if he shouldn't have been able to search you for it in the first place.

    Anyone heard of chain drain or know where to get one?

    Summer is right round the corner, don't mind the snow we just had. Just nature getting in on the April fools. I might have to give that stuff a try. There was quite the collection of wax and gunk around my front sprocket last I checked.

    Does our licensing system need a change?

    Well, I can tell you that while its called graduated, its any thing but. My experience was this. Read a book, write a test, you have your m1. I waited 60 days, and took a motorcycle course. After one evening in class, and two days on a dirt bike in a parking lot, I had my papers. Walk into a...

    TMP 2013 dates are out

    Is the intro to track just a more thorough what to do and not do at the track? Or is it closer to a light version of a race school?

    Saw myself a police chase first hand...

    Doesn't sound dangerous to me.... I always assume I'm invisible to other drivers anyways. Sounds to me like he was sitting behind you to use your lights, and make any passing cars move into the other lane well before they'd risk accidentally running up into him. Shoulder checks.... Ahahaha...

    Sun. June 10th, 7AM. GUNS, GUNS, GIRLS AND MORE GUNS!!! Near London, ride from Scarb

    I was looking forward to this, figures I forgot to mark it in my phone, and just now thought about it 2 days later. Oh well.

    So...anyone get busted by the OPP??

    I was traveling 107,000 + or - 1,250 km/h all weekend. Never bothered. Do I win? (unless someone wants to look up our speed away from a galaxy on the other side of the universe)

    Warm weather riding pants suggestions?

    I have an older version of these, plus the jacket http://www.motoport.com/index.php?option=com_redshop&view=product&pid=31&cid=29&Itemid=15 . For a torture test, I went riding with my black pants/jacket on that nice 41 degree day (48 with humidity). I was perfectly comfortable riding around at...

    Incredible increase in Insurance rates

    Yeah, I'd suspect any increase above 10%, without a ticket or claim, to be an indication the underwriter doesn't want your demographics business. My renewal came in at 100 dollars more (9%). I called one place and was quoted nearly half the cost, even with a minor ticket. I hope to never have...

    2012 Demo Days

    Yeah, it would be nice if they could look at your riding history, but all they can really go by is what you own, and what license you have. I had my m2 after a weekend on a dirt bike in a parking lot. M2 sadly doesn't count for much.

    CRAZY FOG THIS MORNING! (2-230ish)

    Went for a ride around king and Spadina around 3 am. Visors fogged up a bit, but you could see far enough to not bother me. Did make for a kinda creepy atmosphere on the empty business area stretches. The ride home to Hamilton at 4am wasn't the most fun, but fine enough just following behind a...

    1st sportbike (riding advice for new sportbike rider)

    I personally think your best experience is having ridden at all, you should have a good sense of how defensive and pre-emptive you should be while riding. It sounds like its the low speed stuff that is difficult on a new/different style of bike. Find and empty parking lot, and practice figure...

    Snake Rd. turn 3 claims another victim

    I'm thinking he must have been going more than 35km/h through that turn, that is a crawling pace. I could be swerving around in my lane through that turn doing 35km/h. I have caught myself freezing up briefly and looking at the guardrail before, but thankfully not long enough to be an issue...

    speeding cam tix while crashing

    I for one and all for speed camera's. Nice and reliable, always in the same spot. I mean, try getting away with shooting an officer in the eye with a paint ball gun.
