I stored my Honda Rebel 250 in my father-in-law's garage over the winter. He has a Motomaster trickle charger thingy and said that he'd take care of the battery over the winter so I removed the battery and gave it to him before I covered up the bike for storage. This spring, I put the battery...

Rental places say that they require that you have a valid motorcycle license but the ones that I've looked at don't seem to indicate whether an M2 is ok or if a full M is required. Specifically, I'm looking to rent one in Arizona while I'm there on business in March. Our M2 seems, for the most...

Bought this as a starter bike last year and now I'm ready to move up to something larger. Professionally stored last winter with full tune-up in the spring. Added saddle bags and a new rear tire as well. Runs great and served its purpose as a first bike. It allowed me to learn and gain the...

A buddy of mine just came across this accident on his way to work. An 1100cc motorcycle hit a deer along Highway 97. An off-duty paramedic was one of the first responders on the scene but it didn't look good. The rider looked to be in his 60s. if anyone out there learns more about this...

I'm a relatively new rider on a Shadow 750 cruiser and I'd love to start riding with others. I'm not picky about what kind of bike you ride, just that you ride safe and you're willing to learn/share about riding together. I'm thinking about meeting up at the Tim's at Walkers and Dundas and...

Lots of police and an ambulance when I went to Burito Boys on Friday night. Looked like they were cleaning up after a car t-boned a cruiser in the intersection. Anyone know what happened or how the rider is doing?

:-)

I'd like to know what everyone's favorite bike shops are for servicing. I'm sure there are good ones and bad ones. I'm out in Burlington and I'd be interested to hear any suggestions.

Does anyone know whether motorcycle parking is free in Oakville? I heard that you don't have to pay in Toronto but what about other places in the GTA?

So, if you're buying a used bike from someone on kijiji, you have to go to the MTO office and change the ownership. I did this recently and I simply showed them the UVIP which had the sale price written on it. They then calculated the HST due on the sale and I paid it. But what if the bike was...

I would love to hear from some more experienced riders about what they look when considering buying a bike from a private seller (like kijiji). As I'm new to riding and I'm not a mechanic what are some of the red flags that I should look for?

After all the research that I've done about motorcycle safety. After going to the M1 exit course. After reading all the safety related posts on this forum. After spending so much money on my own gear. I was driving up Walker's line today and saw this. My question is, why did he even bother with...

One of my 'first ride' observations... As I'm sitting at a red light, waiting to go straight (in the left tire track) people would squeeze by me in order to turn right just because I don't take up the whole lane. Made me a bit nervous but should I be concerned about this? Should I change my...

Finally got my first bike yesterday and I ran into a little problem that never occurred to me before... Traffic lights that don't regularly change seem to be a problem. At big intersections, they change frequently. But when you want to turn left from a side street onto a larger road, what do you...

Finally got my bike yesterday! :)

There's the answer to two important questions... What do you ride? and Where do you ride? Actually, I don't ride... yet. But I'm working on it. I've wanted to ride for a long time. Since I was a kid, really. It's always been a passion but I've always made excuses as to why I couldn't do it...
