FYI, owner of a white ducati monster by King Street East & Princess (abbey lane), I found your bike down on its left side at 2:30am Wednesday morning August 12th. Your left peg is broken, but miraculously it seems that little else is damaged. License plate 2B8**. I lifted up the bike...

God damn... very sad to hear! :( I did not know him personally, but I know who he was. Rest in Peace, and condolences to his family (including cousins), and friends. :(

On a semi-related note, I see so many - sooooo many - bicycle + e-bike riders who are wearing helmets with the straps undone and dangling on the sides like it's some lame fashion statement. :confused:

The only difference it made for me was that I couldn't get a tow sorted out by my insurance company because I had the basic 'one way" policy. So the lady on the other end of the phone asked me if anyone was charged and I said no, and then she said I would have to pay for it and after fault was...

You're absolutely right. I think that's great advice. My advice directly comes from an experience I had in October, which resulted in my motorcycle being written off, and the other driver was deemed 100% at fault. In fact, I was going to respond to bike cop regarding the comment of "no direct...

Glad you're okay! In the Future: If anyone has a situation like the one described above, AND ESPECIALLY IF SOMEONE FLED THE SCENE: #1: Call the police. "Pickup caused an accident and fled the scene." #2: Gather ALL of the witness information. Ask them for their full name and phone number...

Thanks everyone for your responses! Fawaz, I'll definitely check those out at the bike show. I also remember checking out the elbow inserts at Speedwerx for your suits & jackets, and they were more wrap-around than normal, which is great. I was just imagining how effed my elbow would be if...

A couple of months ago I was in a low-side due to an emergency braking situation (not-at fault accident, I'm perfectly fine, still going through insurance). I was wearing: Full face helmet, joe rocket leather jacket, jeans, hiking boots, leather gloves. I went down on my right and the joe...

Re: Anyone ever been "doored" or hit a pedestrian while using the parked car lane? It's perfectly legal to ride in that lane, as you're not sharing your lane with another active vehicle. Having said that, common sense dictates that you ride carefully and at-or-below the speed limit so that...

RIP Rider & the passenger. :( Condolences go out to their family... having ridden with with two of the other "fallen" riders (Matt, and a friend who went down at lansdowne & dupont a few weeks back), this really f@#$%ing sucks and trips me out. :(

I was with him and a bunch of other people at Mods & Rockers that night. This absolutely F#@$%ing sucks. Get well soon, Shawn.

Should be a fun time!

The ownership is technically tagged to the frame. If someone sells you a motorcycle and you do not transfer it over to yourself, then the bike/frame still technically belongs to the previous owner. If you ever want to (1) sell the frame, (2) sell the track bike with the option of the next...
