Definitely a concern/worry. So far I have been using the mall. The part of the lot near the old Sears is also deserted, so we aren't getting in the way much. Gymkhana is actually a lot like practice drills. Enough G1 drivers training there, and since we don't do wheelies or burnouts, the...

A 600cc and M2 is like driving a Corvette while you have the equivalent of a G1. On a 1000cc, bluntly, you might not be riding for long. Maybe it scares you away from riding. Maybe you drop it on the driveway at 0km/h and $10K+ repairs makes you give up riding. Maybe you die... So in the...

Same here. With a couple of sweaters on underneath, this is way more comfortable temperature as well.

Beautiful bike. Ride it well!

Sliders and cages definitely help to protect the mechanics and aesthetics of your bike. Unlike regular conservative street riding, motogymkhana is a sport and encourages you to push your limits. So, just as in circuit riding, you are more likely to lay it down than on your commute. However, at...

Agreed. The driver may be legally 100% at fault. But, in many cases, it is realistically rarely a 1-sided event. And even if it was, it is often avoidable, as you can mitigate risks such that another driver's mistakes don't cost you. Treat other drivers like weird moving obstacles, that are...

I would 100% agree that it is mental, but it's hard to enforce "X% of attention or less was paid to the road". I see some people on their hands-free phone, arguing and talking with their hands, wandering out of their lane. On the flip side, I fall silent on the phone, tuning out of the...

Check out Ontario Moto Gymkhana. Facebook: Ontario Moto Gymkhana Website: Ontario Moto Gymkhana Any bike can do it, from trials to cruisers. It's like Rider Training courses on steroids. It's so much fun, very safe, and builds up the skills that can save you on the street!

I recommend "Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do (and What It Says About Us)" by Tom Vanderbilt. A look at the subconscious mental processes and conscious rationale behind everything from merging early to feeling out a safe speed. Stories about motorcycles are sprinkled in, though this is...

A few of us are going for a 1-1.5hr loop in the Halton Hills. I'm bringing my cones and timer in case we pause for some MotoGK. Meeting at Campbelleville carpool lot at 5:30p. ChargePoint Charging Station

That is an ideal starter bike, one of many. It was my favourite at Rider Training.

People in your situation sell their bikes and give up riding because they don't get to ride. They don't have several hours a week to go out and "play with their friends" on bikes. This is adulthood I suppose. But I disagree with them. I commute all the time, and take the long way home a...

Assuming you are an M1 or M2, and haven't ridden more than 24 hours or so, try to be as conservative as you can. Grab a low displacement cruiser, it's more comfortable and beginner friendly, freeing up concentration for navigation traffic and making improvements. You'll be better after 3...

And 80% of the population believes that they are above average intelligence :unsure:.

Those colours are true to American parties. Democrats Blue and Republicans Red. Being public, CBC leans left or right depending on the government in power. A bit two-faced, but it's a bit understandable, I guess. On average left of centre, or centre-left, is the bias I see. Canadians are not...

To add in regards to Sun, even when traveling opposite the direction of the sun, remember that oncoming traffic is struggling to see, and will cross into oncoming, run red lights, and wander into other lanes causing others to evade. I've seen drivers reach up to flip the sun visor down while...

Winter gloves is high on my list. And some base layers Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

Try keeping a lower profile online. I also park in a condo. I bought basement parking for ours and I squish it between my car and a wall. You could try rotor locks as well. My car dashcam has parking monitor and faces my bike. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
