Looking for people to meet / ride with. I am in Bolton on Hwy 50. I consider myself a beginner (riding since late last year), currently on a Harley Sportster. I don't care what style / brand of bike you ride but keep in mind, I still have plenty to learn staying mostly within legal speed limits...

+1 for buying used and not below 500cc if it is a cruiser. My 2nd favorite past the Sportster I ride is Boulevard.

Thank you for everyone 's take on this. Good to know I am not the only one feeling it is a very volnurable position for a bike. Gives more confidence to wait until I am certain the way is clear and ignore the impatient honks behind!

I always do this when getting ready to turn unless I have a clear view. Didn't know it's a failed point on M2 exit. (Strange... I suppose they just want you to wait until the view is clear?) Thank you!

Especially going up!

That would be giving up :-)

Do you feel every aspect of riding you do is close to perfect? (Even withing the legal and traffic limits.) I have been riding for less than a year myself and I know I still have a ton to learn. Aside from the joy that is in the act of riding itself (I am out of the city so I may be in a better...

Wouldn't this be more common than not if you develop custom software for someone? What is the key concern for you? Your contract would state that the customer owes the product and the source code. If you want to use some of your existing libraries that you developed, you may want to exclude them...

I had this happening to me while driving a car. An impatient driver behind me pulling out and proceeding to turn left, going around me on the right. If I started to move at the same time... especially on a bike, things would turn bad.

How do you deal with a left (unprotected) turn at a green light when a group of cars facing you (waiting to make their left turn) is blocking the view? The situation is relevant in a car but I find it somehow easier to creep forward in a car until I can see the way is clear. The consequences of...

Wouldn't it be a LOT of 18650s? How many do you plan?

They are :-) but this by itself is not a proof that anything white reflective should be allowed. Just like a blinking red rear turn signal does not mean you are allowed to operate a blinking red all the time. I agree that there are many sensible arguments on why a white reflector should be...

Does anyone have an experience of being questioned or even ticketed for having retroreflective tape at the back of the bike that reflects white light? It can be amazing for visibility (more so than red or yellow/amber) but IMHO goes against the intent of the requirement to have red light only at...

Good time of the day to you all! New rider here (from last summer). Recently changed to 2009 Sportster and loving it! Will be happy to meet people in the area, perhaps join beginner friendly group rides. Peter Sent from my SM-N910W8 using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app
