Good morning all, I just had an accident and went down on my bike; too much brake when cars in front came to a sudden hard slowdown (I know, I was probably riding too close but I was also in the process of changing lanes). A good Samaritan stopped to help and called 911. since I was OK and...

At the corner of Hidden trail and Steeles ave, a yellow sports bike hit a left turning Red pick-up truck. I work at that corner and had to park across the street as I walked closer to cross I saw the bike. It must have tried to avoid the truck as it broadside it. Didn't look good for the...

Hey all. I got a ticket on Mortimer ave east of Coxwell ave, right along the emergency entrance to the hospital. I was parked in an area where there is a legal parking using the ticket machines. As far as I know I was legally parked. Being on the bike I did not pay for a ticket. I have a...

Hi, Lowsided this morning :(:mad:. the only thing that I want to fix at this stage is to straighten the handle bar side that made contact with the ground. I need some advise on how to do that. Is it better to take it to a shop? or just remove all the attached pieces and use brute force, if...

I have been breaking one of the main rules with regards to when you should not ride. It has always been said that one should not ride when tired, angry, distracted etc. I have a family member who was diagnosed with cancer and is terminal, only months to live. I go see him every morning before...

I commuted yesterday for the first time this season. After coming home I went out with my kids in the car. It felt so sluggish and heavy. Now I ride a ninja 250 so it is not a powerhouse. Makes me wonder what riders on the SS' must feel.

Is this a worthwhile course to take or is simply going to the ministry, book a date for the test sufficient? Is there another more worthwhile course that will teach more than the M2 exit course? I would appreciate your input on what courses are available for motorcycle riding (to improve...

Back in November I was riding and came upon a segment of road that was being resurfaced. They had scratched the road to lay new asphalt, I slowed and went on it. Needless to say, the rear end was sliding everywhere, I felt several times like I was going to go down. Now, can you guys give me...

I'd like to work towards one of these two i saw at the show on the weekend. I'll surely join the movement then.

I went into GP Bikes one week before Christmas to look specifically at riding pants. The price online was 139 and at the store the tag listed them at 189. I simply asked the sales guy at the service desk what the real price was, he looked online then contacted a manager (older female, short...

This may be a dumb question considering I know what i'd do with a car battery but in order to attach the battery to a battery tender, do I have to disconnect the battery from the bike and connect the tender to the battery alone? Le me know, thanks.

Hi all, I will need new tires for 2013. I ride a Ninja 250. I am looking around and have narrowed to 3. Continental conti go, the Bridgestone Battlax 045 and the Dunlop GT501 Arrowmax (dunlops currently on the bike). In your opinion, which is best for durability, wet and dry traction. If...

I am a new rider in Toronto and this week was the first time I commuted to work (25 kms one way). I have been playing it safe and riding evenings after work and weekend mornings, never straying too far from home, simply to gain experience before I would ride to work. This past Monday and...

Hi all, I bought an Icon Alliance helmet as my first helmet. Tried it on at the store several times on separate occasions before purchasing to make sure it was the one. This past weekend I did my M1 exit course and after 2 hours, or so of wearing it, started feeling a pressure point above my...

Hey everyone, I'm a lazy middle age man who finally decided to get his motorcycle license, next weekend is my course and hopefully an M2. I'll start off small next season (Ninja 250 or CBR 250) then build up to a larger bike. Good to be in this community. Happy and safe riding to all.
