It doesn't happen to me often but yesterday it did... I got caught i the rain, without my rain gear, a few miles before getting home. When riding to work, I have a backpack to carry my stuff but also my packed rain gear if there are chances of rain during the day. As I said earlier, most of the time I'm lucky as I don't often get rained on during my 25 minutes commute to and from work. I ride my SV650S rain or shine. ...Read more.

Last year, my home town of Moncton, New Brunswick was host to the Atlantic Canadian HOG rally. Lots of great bikes and beautiful pieces of art. There were some classics.... ...Read more.

A Bit of Background I've been wearing motorcycle helmets for about 14 years. When I started out on two wheels, I was riding a 50ccm roller (Piaggio Vespa), with a top speed of 50kmh/35mph. I needed to wear a helmet (there are mandatory helmet laws in most of Europe), and bought the cheapest lid I could find. Usually a low-end full-face. ...Read more.

Ok, I know the old saying "it is just like riding a bike". Well let me point out that riding a motorcycle is not just like riding a bike. You just don't hop on and go. You have to constantly ride and keep proficient in order to keep your skills up. Too many times we see people who post on message boards that they "used to" ride about ten years ago and that they are jumping into it again with a C90, a VTX1800, a 'Busa, a C50, a M50, or even a S40. The point I am trying to make here is not about the size of the bike, it is about staying proficient. ...Read more.

There was a recent thread in our forum about the things we motorcyclists enjoy when it comes to the culture and environment of motorcycling. Here are a few, written by Motorcycle-Journal.com forum members: Aside from the feeling of riding, and the gas milage, i gotta say the thing i like most is the feeling of belonging to a group. - dichotomous Kids are my one of my favorites. Just seems when I'm crusing some of the back roads, when there's kids in the front lawn, they love waving and shouting (with big grins on their faces) at me and whomever I may be riding with. - Stasy I like ...Read more.

How can any youngster with only a couple of years driving experience learn to ride a high powered sport bike? How can their reaction time be sufficient at high speeds to combat their lack of recognition of traffic patterns? You wouldn’t let your six year old play with a loaded hand gun, then why do we allow a twenty year old to drive a high powered sport bike? If you are able to ride a motorcycle on a closed circuit at over 100 mph, do you think you can ride the same machine on I-294 in Chicago at the same speed? Can you safely do it even at the posted speed limit with two dozen ...Read more.

Taking off from South Eastern New Brunswick, I merge onto the Trans Canada highway beside a guy in and Audi TT convertible; I can’t help feeling “This is going to be a great long weekend!” My wife and kids are at Girl Guide Camp and I’ve got the green light to spend the next three days with nothing but the clothes on my back, the supplies in my top case and two small saddle bags, and my 800 cc Suzuki Marauder. ...Read more.
