Great notes, thank you. I'm familiar with the fit of the Star, so that's good news. The Race uses Bells own rotational impact tech, vs the independent MIPS stuff? Not as familiar with former, will have to do some reading there.

Word. Looking for a second MIPS rated helmet (currently have the Icon Airflight), and am leaning towards the Bell Star. Any fine folks have experience with these? Any appreciable differences between the Star and Star DLX? Thanks!

Likely that the CPU, RAM and motherboard will need to be upgraded as a package. New RAM and new CPU specs won't fit that motherboard, and new motherboards won't handle those older spec CPUs and RAM. Graphics card and hard drive can be upgraded independently, however a graphics card update is...

Sorry to hear, hope that recovers quickly! I had a similar experience last year. I low-sided at the track on a Saturday, slow and mild enough to do manage another session. Leg was notably sore the next day, as to be expected. Two days later I went for a bicycle ride to stretch out the leg -...

I believe they had a similar deal with Vinales. An issue was that they didn't want to force a rider onto their team who didn't want to be there.

And responsibility to not park there. Pay the ticket, find another spot to park, move on. Save yourself the trouble, and don't waste our tax dollars on your indignation.

Bay & Wellington? May be a little far north/east for your liking, but I always had luck on Victoria (just East of Yonge). Lots of bike parking from Wellington up to Queen, including a couple streets off Victoria.

I never quite understood the rationale behind the argument that a shorter ride does not warrant as much protection as a longer ride. I understand that the period of exposure is greater on a longer ride, but it doesn't take an hour to crash. It doesn't take 10 minutes to crash, either. It...

I walked into my door while heading to the washroom in the middle of the night. Now I sleep with the door open. Sometimes, you just need to learn the hard way.

Michelin Pilot Street Radial, no question. I've run over 7000km on a set, and a track day - I expect to be able to run another few thousand KM.. This is all on a Ninja 250, in stock sizes. I ran BT45's previously and these are worlds ahead. Fawaz and crew run them on their fleet of Racer5...

That bike should have been able to lose that car in a heartbeat. That it didn't speaks more to what the rider was thinking, frankly. Bating the driver? Staged affair? Anyone with pure intentions would have taken off or pulled over, not dicked around like this.

I've been riding downtown for a few years now, and the struggle is real. Given my work schedule and location (downtown core), getting anywhere out of the city in any reasonable amount of time is nigh impossible. The Gardiner is a s**tshow. Full stop. Riding in the city is pants, for the...

Yeah, it is just a fine. And there was signage, truth be told. There were markings on the road, too. It was entirely my fault for not noticing, as I wasn't looking out for it. I had mostly interpreted the signs and markings as construction, or an indication that the road was changing (went...

That's a tenuous argument - cameras are not RELEVANT things to be paying attention to while driving. We should be looking out for pedestrians, other cars, debris, road and pavement issues - not damn cameras waiting to ding us with a fine because we're doing 9 over on an empty road. I spent a...

Answered your own question. You don't get hit, you lose control. Sounds like a "you" problem. It's a raw deal, but that's just one facet of the risk involved.
