    Just echoing what others have already said. Thanks for organizing the ride. It was nice to get out with a group on some new roads.

    I really doubt you would notice a difference in the rain unless you were pushing it.... But whatever makes you feel better! Nice machine

    Agreed, and you are a brave man for changing tires on your Marchesinis yourself! Big pat on the back

    Re: HAMILTON Riders - Weekly rides through the back roads!

    Hey folks,

    Sorry I have been MIA in this thread recently, I assure you I have a good excuse.

    Coming back from Port Dover on Friday the 13th I got into an accident with my motorcycle on Highway 6. An RV type vehicle decided to turn into a gas station at 80 KM/hr without signalling. The guy behind him, a civic, slammed on his brakes in hopes of not hitting the RV. I was behind the civic and had to brake extremely quickly in order to not hit the civic! (I was not tailgating). So apparently, my Ninja was not a big fan of braking hard at 80 KM/hr and locked up the front tire. I was thrown from my bike and the bike slid into the oncoming lane. Thankfully, I rolled, slid, and banged around in the comfort of my own lane.

    After all this, besides some road rash here and there, I am doing surprisingly well today. I believe this is mainly due to all the gear I was wearing plus my backpack that I had on, which contains even more armour. However, I can't say the same for my baby Ninja which was deemed as a total loss by my insurance company

    So just wanted to give an update. Hopefully no one has to go through the same experience because it truly is traumatizing.

    Ride safe, folks!
