Daily observations

How come no one waves to me? :sad7:
If you've ever ridden past me, I've waved! I wave to everyone on a motorcycle. A lot of old farts on cruisers/harleys don't wave back but every sport bike I've seen always greets me back!
 
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

The 'proper' wave to an ADV Rider, is only one finger, and with the arm either horizontal or up 45*

Not the more traditional 'biker' peace-brothership wave with the first two fingers and your arm down 45*

Finally!! Something to set us apart from the harley brotherhood! Just don't be mad when I pass you on the shoulder and spray gravel at you ?

The Ranger got a little dirty yesterday. I've left a placeholder above in case this story is told one day (it includes our friend MudMojo).

Not sure why this Honda Element has a pedobear sticker on his window.

Saw this nice Ducati GT1000 (Sport Classic?) at the pump. He must be getting ready for The Moto Social tomorrow.

HD vs John Deere. This is an audio comparison. I stop my motor from 0:22 to 0:29.

I talked to the owner of this HP4 last fall. Wears a one-piece leather suit to the office (must have a change of clothes upstairs). He's a Harvard grad... Notice that he's removed the warning stickers from his gas tank.

While putting my gear on, I noticed a wet spot under the Dyna parked next to me. [Insert Harley joke here]

Ha ha. The leak probably came from the Vespa that I parked next-to in the morning. The photo above was a test - did you look at the chrome or did you notice the 'nice boots'?

Passed a Porsche broken down on the Gardiner.

Wasn't the Avalanche ugly enough from the factory?

Yes! That was a KTM jacket I saw the other day. Dude - you know that voids the warranty on your GS, don't you?

Another video for you (only allowed one per post). It's a little hard to make out, but you'll notice that the BMW cruiser rider up ahead doesnt't put his feet up on the pegs until 0:25. Hipster!

I wish I would've seen him earlier in the stop'n'go. I really want to capture a rider doing the duck walk.

Prolly reals, no joke.
 
Might have been from this

I wonder who's the chick passing by with such a fine piece of ass
 
I encountered this totally oblivious bicycle rider in Musselman's Lake. I was heading south. She pulled out from George's ice cream place, went through the stop sign, and also headed south. Never even looked my way. Didn't have a clue that I was there.What's worse is she had plenty of room at the side of the road, but chose to stay closer to the centre. I wondered if perhaps she was deaf. Not joking. No reaction from a honk of the horn.

More likely just brain dead.

$10 says she totally knew you were there and was actively judging you and your fossil fuel-powered behemoth.
 
hey - sorry guys, would've had lots more content here but the battery failed on my Mobius - was considering other options before ordering a new batt (only $8 for the batt though)...

Jayell -are you going to take the Tiger on the Midhurst Trail Ride next Sunday? They have a 'big bike route' this year.

You should have done a sound comparison between the Ducati and the JD... lol
 
Just out of curiosity FLSTC were you near Don Mills/Steeles today? Caught a quick glimpse of a cruiser/tourer of some sort with a rider wearing a blue 3/4 helmet just like in your picture on the first page of this thread.
 
Guilty!

Even with my white Joe Rocket mesh jacket, was soaked with sweat by the time I made it home.
 
I was wearing my (only) leather jacket today, black too. Even with perforation, I was dying at every light.

Next time I see you I'll follow you and say hi :D
