So my bike has a H4 and a H7 lamp, and the H4 went bust last night. I thought it could be a fuse of a loose cable but they checked out. Questions are: Should I get a replacement OEM bulb and call it a day? Should I get an aftermarket one? There are sooooo many options and being a noob I'm...

How many have you been affected by those in your eyes headlights on cars and trucks when driving in the night? What precautions do you take? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/headlights-led-driving-safety-night-1.7409099

I had my M test tomorrow and just today my bike decided to give up on me. V-belt or the clutch plates started slipping and I barely got home riding at 7000 rpm. I have a bunch of expletives I want to shout out loud but FML. To add to this I have an upcoming trip next weekend and I'm moving to a...

This is my third Thanksgiving ever since I moved to Canada and I have no fking idea what the Thanksgiving festivities are like. Can anyone suggest a place or an event I can go to as a single person and not feel unwelcome? Thank you! 🙂

This has been my observation all around staring March. The traffic is worse that last year when I started riding in Canada. Time and again I have dealt with tailgaters. Just the other day a pickup truck was trying to overtake me and even entered space while I was on a ramp at Hurontario getting...

My M test eligibility, as per drivetest.ca, starts on Oct 21, 2024. I'm trying to see if I can find a slot on their site within GTA and so far all are greyed out. Is it that I'm too early to book the slot or does the Drivetest not do M tests so late in the season? What about schools? Do they...

I had a lapse of judgment and went out with sneakers. My right foot slipped while pulling the bike out of a parking spot and my right ankle got pinned under the bike. The jacket and the helmet also took quite a hit from the fall. Adrenaline got me up and ride back home, but after relaxing for a...

Riding is an activity that clears my head when I have a rough day at work. Today was such a day and I decided to take a longer route. The plan was to get on to 403 at Hurantario then get on to 401 to 427, shop some at Ikea, get on to Gardiner and Queen's and get home. It's not the first time I...

This is just a vent 😮‍💨 I had to go to the north end of Brampton today to play some board games and what not at a cafe and it was an absolute nightmare. Even when riding in India I sparsely use the horn but today I counted 14 honks. No turn signals, no right of way, no blind spot checks-- they...

I think I forgot my keys on the bike and someone stole them off. I've locked my bike for now at work. I'm watching it from a window. Don't know what to do, any help/suggestions?

I know we all dislike cagers in general, but now and then you'll find a nice person on the roads who makes your ride pleasant (not sarcastic). I just thought of starting a thread to share such experiences. I have had two experiences- The first was during a downpour last fall when I was on the...

Folks, the raindrops and water on the road turned to ice. Be careful while driving in the morning hours in Mississauga areas.

So, I have been trying to find some handguards for the Tmax to prevent the cold wind from hitting my palms. I've tried a bunch of things but the only thing that's close to compatibility was this one made for Harleys https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B089F7R3RD I looked at all possible placement options...

I was in Kingston over the weekend and had an embarrassing/testing time where I had to park & turn at slow speeds that typically require riding the friction zone. I'm, admittedly, not great at that skill plus my Yamaha Tmax is a CVT transmission bike. And the bike being 250kgs I get nervous...

I did a round trip today from Mississauga to Welland through the 403-QEW-406 route. I took the HOV lane in the 403 and I had two frustrating episodes. First was during the onwards journey, vehicles were moving at 120 but there was a pickup truck who came aggressively close behind me and started...

I went out for some bowling in Yorkdale and got caught in the downpour right after Dixon exit on way back to Mississauga. Only thing that got wet were my forearms. (One of the reasons why I ride a maxi-scooter- protection from rain.) Interesting observation: cars slowed down; trucks didn't...

Is it ok to honk at distracted drivers in front of you to, let's say, alert them? I had a bloke for over 10 kms in front of me trying to fix the mobile holder. They were slowing down, hitting the brakes, not moving ahead from a red light and swerving within the lane (almost moving into incoming...

So, I got a nail in my rear tire somewhere in Downtown in the morning and I rode around 50 kms before I realized it. Right now my bike is put on center stand with the mail still in the tire. I ordered the plug kit from Amazon. And I don't know what else to do. Should I get it professionally...

I came across this event on my Instagram feed and registered without a second thought. Not sure how many from this forum are participating, but it'd good to meet some of you lovely people in person. It's on Aug 13th and the link to register is here: Annual Ride For SickKids Motorcycle Ride | In...
