I`ve seen that by the OPP years ago, around Innisfil and Barrie. No idea about this... get Uncle Doug to the cottage faster, practice for an American invasion, martial law by Komrade Karney? :p

Problem too is vehicles for a lot of people are just extensions of their phone and become a rolling iPad. Any vehicle commercial sells all the techno crap, no mention of much else. Give the (stupid and distracted) people what they want.

I believe I saw Art get punched in the head at Shannonville. He was trying to climb into the back of an ambulance after the crew had just loaded Lang into it following a big get off. Seems he wasn`t wanted in there and came flying out backwards seconds after climbing in. :p

Remember the Frank Thomas boots, they were popular and pretty good too, and Jollimoto gloves... the ones with several rows rows of studs on the outer palm, both in the early to mid 80`s. Around `71 I had a 3/4 HA helmet in red metalflake with the flat shield on it. They became HA...

And Mr. Cronenberg got the idea for the teleportation device in the `86 "The Fly" from his 350 Ducati. Take the single cylinder and head, flip it upside down,... and there`s the device, check out pics of it. I almost bought a `73 350 Desmo as my first bike, they were beautiful. Common sense...

I`m callin` *cough cough * bullshite on that dealer decision. Imagine an oily substance on a motorcycle. :p

I remember when we just would bungee our gear onto the seat of our CB750 and go. Life was simpler and better.

On the front page at www.advrider.com Some of it makes some sense, some of it is like the Liberals definition of an "assault rifle". The comments at the bottom are interesting. Kudos if it saves some riders but the driving public also needs a severe wake up with crushing fines, like tens of...

FWIW...anyone looking to ride `26 Royal Enfields next Sat. June 27th, 9 to 2 at Classy Chassis in Lakefield. .N. of Peterborough. www.usedhd.ca 888-292-8305. Beautiful twisty Kawartha roads, I live here, no endless straight line gridlocked roads. Good dealership too.

Looking around on other news feeds it appears it may have been a head on crash. Other people have also pointed out the poor sight lines, busy traffic, excessive speeds and dangerous passing that occurs on that stretch of #7. In the winter it is often downright dangerous, large wide open spaces...

The site of that horrible crash is about 10 minutes from me, east on #7. That stretch of #7 from Lindsay to Omemee and over to the turn for Peterborough is often busy with traffic running at 90 to 95+ klicks, I`ve been on it hundreds of times. As it occurred at 6PM I wonder if the riders were...

How ya` diggin` the new ride? Figure out your mileage and range on a tank?

The word you`re looking for is stupid. Save obtuse for Andy Dufresne and the Warden Norton.

And stay away from that front brake. Lock that front tire on them grass clibbins` and down ya go. :p

The advrider article on `arris mentions Piero Zambotti. Piero died in a crash in 2003 at age 26, accomplishing so much in his short time. I got to go out for a rip a few times with him, he was over the moon excited to ride my 500. I can`t recall ever meeting a young guy so smart, kind and polite...
