OMG looked like two blind school girls in a slap fight.That was disturbing.

Re: I belive there should be no mitigating factors as a 16yr girl is dead Yes,this is what I meant when I said it wouldn't stick.Her lawyer was not making sense in the clip and seemed to be of the opinion that the charge and instructions were to harsh since she didn't mean to cause harm.I'm...

Re: I belive there should be no mitigating factors as a 16yr girl is dead Sorry,I didn't mean to infer what your opinion is just that I can respect it.As you already said it wouldn't have happened if she had not stopped in the roadway.I personally think she should have been and possibly was...

I belive there should be no mitigating factors as a 16yr girl is dead I respect your thoughts but hope what you heard is wrong.I do not believe anything that Roy did or did not do should affect her sentence.in fact I find Roy's death and the duck lady's feelings secondary. The focus should be...

I agree,If he wasn't gesturing to the duck lady but signaling to the bike behind him to slow down ,sneezing,checking his mirrors or adjusting his visor would he still be have fault?It's not illegal to gesture while riding a bike.Saying he wasn't paying attention is just nitpicking a dead mans...

I at one time built bikes and would go to the machine shop and have discontinued parts made,something to consider.I just had new case bushings made for v rod last year instead of buying new cases,saved big bucks

I actually thought it was a new article........sorry

Hey is this the guy everyone's talking about?Court is set for the 13th. http://www.thestar.com/news/ontario/2009/06/04/opp_asks_if_towtruck_firms_paid_off_policeman.html

Wow,that really sucks I would fight it.The question is will they believe you?I never lock my handle bars.

Ha, too much rear brake going onto the corner.Sadly it looks like he didn't learn the first time(missing mirror) .I fear for that kids life.

So if someones being a tool and points a gun at you taking a picture would land you a fine?I did read the link and agree that there are no provisions other than calling 911. There was an instance in Windsor where someone did snap a pic while staring down the barrel of a gun while driving side by...

There is no need to pause shoulder,check then change direction i never said that.Are you saying you cant move your head and look over you shoulder as you move over. The act of moving you head changes pressure on the bars, the bikes direction and keeps the suspension neutral.Your not supposed...

I agree you should be moving to avoid the car as soon as you see it but think you should also be looking where you going while you're doing it if riding with another bike.Move your head the the bike will start follow,you avoid target fixation, see what's next to you and hopefully not plow the...

A shoulder check should not be a decision it should be a reflex.If you dont think about it's a problem.If you do there is a bigger issue.A shoulder check would take about as much time to as it takes for the thought to cross your mind .

His wife was on the other bike.Why involve her in the accident and risk her life too when he knows she behind him.I wonder what she would have to say about your comments. Shoulder checks are always required especially if you are riding with another bike.Why would it be in the other lane and...
