It's that time of year again — the flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping, and the motorcycles are cautiously emerging from their winter dens. The past few years have seen a number of both long-standing and short-lived motorcycle shops relocate or close their doors for good. This cycle-shop-shuffle can leave motorcyclists, new and old, wondering where to get their fix. Thankfully Toronto's motorcycle community is flourishing and though the landscape has changed, there are still plenty of options to buy gear out there. Here's the skinny on where to get kitted-up in Toronto.Town Moto132 Ossington AvenueTown Moto, the latest addition to Toronto's gang of motorcycle shops, opened last week and offers a good selection of gear and apparel lines with a vintage cafe racer/rocker flare — no fluorescent tribal patterns or neon underlights here. Situated comfortably between the cafes, restaurants, bars and galleries of Lower Ossington, Town Moto is a great place to find jackets, gloves, helmets and boots by designers you won't find anywhere else in Toronto.

Aside from gear, vintage ephemera and some aftermarket parts, Town Moto also offers casual wear such as shirts, jeans, vests, bags and more. Just look for the 1976 Honda CB750 in the window. Motoretta554 College Street Since 2002 Motoretta has been the place to go for scooters and motorcycles with an emphasis on city driving and classic design rather than highway power. Along with new models from manufacturers including Vespa, Piaggio, Stella, Royal Enfield and Cleveland CycleWerks, Motoretta also carries an inventory of pre-owned machines and offers repair services to support them. While continuing to stock helmets and jackets, Motoretta's English countryside inspired selection of clothing and accessories has grown impressively to include designs by Fred Perry, The Hill-Side, Ben Sherman, Filson and more. Doc's Leathers726 Queen Street WestThose who venture down the rabbit hole that is Doc's Leathers will find themselves amidst a sea of jackets, helmets, boots, gloves, buckles, chaps, skulls, bones, masks, swords, leather, leather and more leather.

Doc's more than four decades spent buying and selling motorcycle gear have furnished this iconic Queen Street West store with the largest selection of used motorcycle gear in Toronto, perhaps in all of Ontario — clear your schedule. Whether shopping for new or used gear, taking a trip to Doc's rarely disappoints. Bring your bike and you may even end up on his Wall-O-Bikers. BMW Toronto Motorrad11 Sunlight Park RoadIf you didn't max out your budget purchasing a motorcycle, take a jaunt east of the DVP to BMW Toronto Motorrad to cover the rest of your needs. In addition to offering new and used BMW motorcycles, as one might expect, BMW Toronto Motorrad maintains a carefully selected collection of unique and high quality motorcycle gear. Featured manufacturer Belstaff has designed and produced jackets for such films as War of the Worlds, I Am Legend, Batman Begins, Blade Trinity, and The Aviator. If you're already geared up, BMW Toronto Motorrad also offers community events including off-road training, group rides, test rides and travel packages.
