Salut gang nouveau rider ici.

Questions plaques, jai fait les simulations sur le site de saaqclic. Si je plaque un Vstrom sa me couterais 1100~$ a cause de mon <1 ans de permis.

Un collegue au travail (45m) ma dis quil a plaquer et assurer une moto a son nom pour sa fille et il a payé considérablement moins que sil avait laissé sa fille plaquer et ass a son nom.

SOOOOO ma question est: si je FINANCE un bike, est ce que je peux quand meme demander a mon pere de la plaquer et assurer, ou étant donné qu'elle est financé je doit absolument plaq et ass a mon nom?

Edit: thanks to everyone for replying even the ones saying I shouslnt be on the road. It was anxiety talking here. I passed with a 92/100. Evaluator's only note was that I "didn't close the door on right hand turns- but that it's mostly a safety thing going forward."

And now for another timeless classic: a road test question.

Or rather a series of questions from overthinking the road test...

My exam is tomorrow morning in Laval and I took a road test prep lesson and all, but when riding in Laval today I started overthinking every little thing I do and id appreciate some clarity.

Any other tips would be welcome too... Thanks y'all... And sorry for posting yet another road test post

Questions:

1- should right on reds be considered stop signs where you stop and so your checks even if you're behind a car that just went?

2- when going for a right turn, when do you go into the center of the lane exactly? And do you do so even if there is a car in front of you?

3- on a green light where you have to turn, do you check your blind spot before committing to the turn without stopping?

4- when at a red to green light, if you are behind other cars who start going through the light, do you have to do the left-right-left check or just follow along?

5- parking lots. Where do you absolutely have to stop aside from stop signs or when going onto a road?

6- should all yields aside from highway/service road be considered more or less a stop sign?

7- if there is room for you to move around or squeeze through with a wide margin of error, can you do so or should you wait? Ex: a channelized right turn where there is about half a car to a car length open, can you go through?

8- lane switching. I know the 5 car length rule but what about in situations where that isn't possible? Do you still make the switch?

9- if I'm told to turn or change lanes but there isn't enough room to do it safely or according to the spacing rules, should I continue straight and wait for another instruction?

I would like to have your experience in terms of mechanics around Montreal for complex issue such as a rear brake pedal too stiff to go down, especially someone with availabilities and one with access to parts market with reasonable price. Thanks

My issue is related possibly to the ABS unit for a ‘12 Suzuki sfv

Does anyone know the process to store your bike in the winter to save money on the registration? The way the website explains it seems complicated

Hi I am currently riding a stock CRF 300L and would like to know where to find the best trails around the outskirts of montreal. So far I have tried the trails along the 125 towards St-Donat as I am often in the area. In my opinion the rocky terrain is more suited for a 4x4 ATV. While fun, I would like a more casual fire road or some gravel trails on occasion. I also wonder what the trails are going towards and past St-Come.

Anyone know of a reliable mechanic that knows Suzukis inside and out? The closer to Verdun the better. I don't really want to go to the dealership in Laval.

I checked older posts but they are all over a year old and no a lot info in those comments anyway.

J'ai remarqué que j'ai beaucoup moins envie de faire de la moto cet été (je n'ai pas ridé en juillet).

J'ai fait pas mal le tour de la Montérégie et Montréal et je ne trouve pas les routes particulièrement intéressantes, sans parler de la condition des routes.

Après 3 ans, je me dis que c'est peut etre pas pour moi la moto, mais j'aime quand même en faire et j'envie pas mal le monde qui vit dans des endroits avec des routes «plus hots».

Je suis le seul ?

Hello everyone! I just passed my closed-circuit test today!

I’m now wondering if I should buy a new motorcycle this year or wait until next spring.

When I started my motorcycle journey around June, there were lots of 2024 models on clearance, but most are sold out now. Should I buy this year, or wait and hope the 2025 models are on clearance next spring?

TIA
