My wife and I are riding this weekend to Niagara Falls ON this weekend. Does anyone have a nice route from Markham ON to Niagara. We don't mind taking the 'scenic' route. She has an M1 so 400 series highways are out.

Also, I would like to do the famous River Road near Port Dover if that's possible on this trip.

Any help or guidance from people who've done this route would really be appreciated. Thanks in advance. :cool: ]]> Cruising / Touring Major http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?157179-HELP-Route-needed-from-Markham-ON-to-Niagara-Falls-ON http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?157178-slow-lane-safety-concern&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 12:18:13 GMT I usually like taking the far right lane on the qew while commuting but have experienced an issue when passing off ramps.

Impatient drivers tend to cut into my "safety zone" while in blocking position (I'm in the left tire track, driver squeezes in on my right side to get that vital .5 sec jump on exiting the freeway). The other day, this happened with only inches to spare.

They are chrome finish and 5 1/2" wide. They come with the quick release floor mounts.

If you don't know this sort of system the chock has small pegs on it which slide into a keyhole type plate on the trailer floor. This means the chock can be taken out in seconds and leaves you with a nice flush floor. Greta if you sleep in the back of your trailer.

I live in Newmarket.

$40 each. ]]> Fiery254 http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?157176-Pingel-type-trailer-chocks-for-sale http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?157175-1992-Suzuki-Katana-1100F-56k-km&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 11:10:09 GMT Very fast.

So far I have dealt with Tri-City.... I'll save the RANT for now.

I have talked to a few, maybe its me, but they seem to be a bunch of tools... most have an attitude that is pathetic, like you are an interuption...

I haven't had much luck, with the money invested, I've gotten some pretty crappy service, damaged bike.... scratched, oil over fill, ... the list goes on... from various shops.


The point of this thread is not to hear "do it yourself". I pay good money for it to be done by someone else, and to keep it in pristine shape, but so far, I've had gas tank scratched, fairing scratched, @#%#!!

So here is the story...

1) My friend went to a shop to check out a bike in the west end of Toronto.
2)They gave him the keys and told him to take it for a spin, no plates, no insurance.
3) He started the bike and started to pull out. As he got onto the street the throttle got stuck open on him and he lost control.
4) He fell off and because he was wearing no gear, he got some pretty bad rash as well as the fairings on the bike being damaged.

...now here is the interesting part...

6) The guys at the shop admit the throttle was giving problems but that the bike was actually a customer's bike
7) They tell my friend he owes $4000 for the damages and try to hold him there until he gives them money
8) My friend gets scared and runs away

...the story gets better...

9) The guys at the shop calls their friend who is a cop at 23 division and give him my buddie's name and phone number, to which, the cops provided the guys at the shop with my friends address and full name
10) Cop calls my friend and leave VM stating he is investigating a hit and run (no my friend did not hit anyone or anything).
11) The guys are calling my friend telling him they will be at his house by tonight if he doesn't agree to pay up and read out his full name and address

...So there are a number of issues here:

A) Is my friend responsible for the damage to the bike?
B) Can he go after the guys at the shop since he is hurt ?
C) What can my friend do about the police officer giving out his personal information? ]]> Laws / Regulations / HTA FitzR6 http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?157164-Extortion-by-shop-Breach-of-privacy-by-cop http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?157163-Texas-does-the-right-thing&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 03:28:13 GMT http://www.thecarconnection.com/news/1065770_texas-raises-speed-limit-to-85-becomes-the-new-montana Note the bit about how the change was linked... http://www.thecarconnection.com/news...he-new-montana
