Canada is a different beast to ride and drive

Motorcycle & Road Safety for those travelling Canada

Flat Tail Freddy is Rumble Canada's safety beaver — the most careful critter in the crew.
His den is your go-to for practical motorcycle safety across Canada: pre-ride checks, gear, riding in weather, sharing the road with wildlife and more. It's Rubber Tire Touring — so if it's got wheels (floats or has snow machine paddles), Freddy's got your back.
