lol, I love that some of you are tied up on the fact that a woman who got out probably wasn't feeling threatened. I'm assuming you guys haven't seen the new women of today who ride high on emotion and feel like their are invincible and can do no wrong. It's exactly the play they intend to...

Re: If you participated in this ride smarten up!!!!! True. But here is the problem. The other riders who are acting responsible should give these riders **** for ruining it for the rest of them. The fact that they don't do anything about it makes them almost just as culpable.

Pre FJ-09/Givi: OGIO Mach 5. Laptop is slipped into a drybag. But now I just put it in my luggage unless I need to carry more things.

I will try and call them. Would be less travel than going back to GP again (though I didn't see any other Suomy there, I might as well call to see if they have any in stock (the Apex is on their website)). I'll have to retry the CL model again. I tried the CL-17 and I can't remember why it...

I tried their SR Sport helmet the other day. It was okay up until around 22 minutes... definitely not the worst of the bunch but not the best either. I remember I was sweating balls inside that helmet, though! I didn't see any other models from Suomy at GP so it makes it difficult to say how...

It could be something a long those lines. Maybe I just have an unlucky design (head/veins/cell bits wise). Yea the Qwest and RX-Q are by far the better helmets I have tried so far but they fail sometime after 40 minute mark. Well, technically, I've only tried going up and down in liner size...

Yea that's one of the resources I've used. I actually tried the CL-17, which is categorized in the same bracket, just yesterday and it did not quite fit (pressure points after 10 minutes). Short of trying modular helmets, I've gone through a majority of that list in the neutral, slightly...

I'm at a bit of an impasse here. I've owned quite a few helmets over the last few years or so, trying to find one that fits my head shape. I've tried a lot of brands, models and varying model years and I have yet to find that fits me well. The issue: I assume I find a helmet that fits me...

Yep. It's everywhere. I was in Oakville beside some grocery store; my girlfriend was still in the car while I was inside the store. As I was coming out, I notice that my girlfriend was outside the driver's side door and it was not until I was much closer that I realize that she was talking to...

Looks like for the most part. But I don't understand... will this have a place with the CBR300? Yea RR but really... are they replacing the CBR300?

They should have done a pit maneuver earlier than that.

So you are suggesting "well fook it, let's do a free-for-all instead of improving driver / rider education programs to address some of the issues that are apparent". Yea, sounds like an awesome idea. And I've seen plenty of roads in Europe and Asia. Difference is that while bad drivers exist...

Toronto roads just aren't designed for lane splitting. And a lot of Ontario drivers/riders have no business being on the road. This will always be a problem unless there is change to remedy both.

Good stuff. Thanks for posting it.
