Re: to the hot chick on the little green ninja I'm not at ATGATT evangelist - wear shorts if you want. But really - plumber butt is so *not* a good look on a motorcycle.... (DVP southbound at Richmond. My eyes were burning, so I didn't see the bike :-)

4 weeks doesn't sound like enough time! I'm driving from Vancouver to Thunder Bay in three weeks, just to give us enough time to see stuff on the way. (And then we're doing the 16-18 hour mammoth slog from T-Bay to Toronto in two days :). Have lots of fun!

It's more like 1-2 *Months*. Although depending on where you get your gas, it might already be old by the time it comes out of the ground... I use the motomaster stuff, and I've never had problems with any of the bikes or the yard tools.

I work downtown, so we're probably going in opposite directions. I've been on the DVP a lot the last couple of weeks - everyone's on vacation!

I drive past there (on Don Mills or Leslie) twice a day - I still ain't seen no mohawk! :)

I guess I ride in different areas of town - I was surprised by how many well geared riders I saw yesterday...

They changed the law a little while back (quietly) - it used to say "less than 60 degrees from the curb" - it now also says "more than 45 degrees". So he's technically parked illegally. OTOH I've never seen a parking enforcement guy care about these tiny details :)

I've heard this argued both ways over the years, for both manual cars and bikes. Why is sitting stopped in first gear better/safer than neutral?

For pay and display lots, there's no safe way to 'display' on most bikes...

You the buyer don't purchase it at all. The seller is required to provide it to you.

Oooh, a whole $20 - one of the cheaper MTO services...

A UVIP can be ordered online - they mail it to you. (you can do this with plate stickers now too!) I suspect people are reluctant simply because they don't know any better - this is still a relatively new process.

I licked my computer screen (it tastes awful, btw...) but nothing happened!

Lots o' riders in our area :) (I'm at Leslie and Sheppard)

It's really easy if you're trying to cross any of the points where the grid changes direction, like say driving from Bradford to Erin. (He says in a "learn from my fail" way... )
