Drive Your Bike Safely


Maybe you’ve already been riding for years and think you know all there is to know about riding a motorcycle. A lot of old time riders learned from their buddies or taught themselves. But one look at motorcycle crash statistics will tell you it never hurts to get a refresher. A motorcycle safety course is a good start. Not only will the course cover the basics of riding safety, after you take it, you may even qualify for a discount on your motorcycle insurance. Check with your insurance carrier to find out.

If you’re not already part of a club, or have just moved to a new state, taking a course is also a good way to meet other riders in your community. You may even want to consider eventually becoming a motorcycle safety instructor. The more people who know how to ride safely, the safer the roads are for everyone.

Road Bike Stunts


Now it's basically impossible to create an argument as to whether or not this is the finest compilation of street bike tricks, but I will say it’s the most inventive I’ve seen - I have yet to find another video where guys rode on the arches of a suspension bridge. Insanity.

I’d love to give credit where credit is due, but stunt riding like this is often unsanctioned and therefore less than legal, so it’s not surprising that details about street bike stunt riders is often scarce. Nonetheless, some impressive stuff.

Reviewer Costa Mouzouris gave us a look at the naked CB1000R that Honda Canada is considering importing, the already-available half-faired CBF1000, and the entry-level CBR125R.

Meanwhile, Honda’s competitors have also announced some new products for Canada that have yet to be made available in the U.S. Yamaha Motor Canada is importing the new Fazer 8 and FZ8, while Kawasaki Canada announced it will offer the new Ninja 400R.

Maintaining Bikes


The tough weather conditions and rough road surface can take a toll on a motorbike. In order to sustain the apt condition of the bike, owners must ensure that their bike is services from time and again. It is imperative that proper oiling and service checks such as brake check or pollution checks are managed from time and again. A serviced bike can provide longer mileage to the owner than the rusted and non serviced bike. Generally, safer drivers will aim at servicing their bikes on the go and before they are off to the long drive with their friends or beloved ones.

It is highly recommended that in order to get the shiny looks, owners should wipe their motorbikes with engine oil. This can help in color and texture retention. At the same time the shinier bike might seem to be a new one to one and all as far as possible heavy accessorizing is not recommended in motor bikes. It can take away the ultimate charm in its beauty. The flashy stickers and cheap accessories should be avoided to the farthest extent possible. Get going and ensure to maintain your bikes in the apt condition at all times.
