I'm interested in this. Which type did you get?

if 140km distance, then my bad.

If you are going to talk about lane splitting safety, you should leave out the fact that you do 140km everyday. Discredits your entire post. Also, at 140km everyday, you obviously aren't riding in traffic so you don't need to worry about lane splitting or filtering. Slow moving traffic is...

A few mentioned avoiding downtown. I agree, it sucks. But not because of dangers of traffic, etc. But because it isn't any fun. I live downtown and learned downtown. Started riding at night when I was new so there were fewer "obstacles" to look out for. After the first season of this, I...

GTA drivers are garbage. Worst ones are those in the suburbs (any one of them, it doesn't matter which). The suburbs are not aware, careless, and incompetent. Downtown drivers are more aware, and more competent BUT more aggressive. Not sure which is better, lower aggressiveness but low...

I was there that day. considered parking there as I was just going to be 5 mins. Saw the bike (blue and white gixxer) already had 2 tickets. Gonna be expensive to release that bike from impound.

500km on 1L of water and 1 car battery isn't efficient? You prefer to use 30L of gasoline? How much do you think it costs to produce gas?

I got a different story from TD MM. I bought a FZ6R because insurance was around $650 a year compared to a 650R which was $1000 while the CBR600RR was "only" $1200 for me. I don't understand how they come up with these prices. And here's the best part. My friend in calgary just got a...

I fought a ticket in quebec once. you can request for court date via email and once you have your court date, you can phone the court house to talk to the prosecutor before your trial date for a deal. if you don't like it, you can still go to trial. On the day of your trial you still have an...

There's a reason why the lines are different colors. White is mandatory. Yellow is not. You should get informed before posting.

That's ok. I'm done being trolled.

do you guys ride/expect to ride at a maximum of the speed limit (maybe +10 max)?

I think you'd look silly getting off the seat to make a left turn in the city period (upright or leaned over) so I wouldn't assume you were "virtually upright" by your "silly" comment. And, it is impossible to leap to the conclusion you were "virtually upright" via "Physics". Bike lean angle...

I don't see anywhere that you said you are "virtually upright".

to me, 50kph on a turn at an intersection is too fast for the street. If you are in full lean dragging your knee what if you you need to stop because some moron decides to make a right turn into your lane?? What if it were a pedestrian that decides to cross because they are looking at their...
