I have a feeling that in the probably not too distant future, there will be PC linking from cop car to MTO to your insurer. They have been talking about it for awhile. The first step they have taken in this direction (at the MTO) is to actually view your pink slip before renewing your plate...

It is still going due to other posters who are sharing relevant opinions and comments. This is a lot more than you can claim of any of your vacuous 3 or 4 posts throughout the thread. Do us all a favour and quit checking the thread if these feeble contributions are the best you have...you only...

Good advice..I have used this method at times too..usually if the tire is older and has become stiff. He should also be soaping the side with a paint brush on the rim and the tire where the bead is. Make sure u go right out to the sharp inner edge of the bead. I even go around it a little so...

ok, cool I might make a post request about it, but don't have time right now. Hopefully someone will see this in the interim and post one up. edit - but of course the incidence of the type of filtering process I am advocating, while rare now, would not be as rare if it was allowed and with...

"it's not crap" - ok..yes I admit I was using the term (in that instance anyway) too loosely. I have no video equipment and am not handy to the city anymore either, but there are a number of regular video posters here. Maybe if a few of them made it a mission, I'll be we could come up with...

Didn't recognize..or at least not to that degree of familiarity. To me it looked like quite a wide lane, didn't know about the merge, but going in front of that car still seemed a bit aggressive even given the new info. That is unless someone else was behind that car being a tail-gating me-first...

"Unfortunately it isn't the first guy in this video that you have to convince. It's the second one, who is very unlikely to modify his behaviour." Again...I can't agree with you here unless you were merely using form of expression..which pretty sure that's what you meant. But if you literally...

I know what you're trying to say here, but don't entirely agree..regardless of Cali driver's incompetence, I feel confident we can out do them in that area. Unfortunately. And I say that due to the next part of your quote below. California's model allows for far too great a speed differential...

No of course not and you know it..gotta run right now but will check back when can..

It would appear that there are a lot of riders (as just one source of representative) that are also not convinced. Who knows why, many seem so dense that they completely throw out important details like the SPEED of which a filtering maneuver is done. It has to be done SLOWLY and not only in the...

Thanks Vic..but it sure is an uphill battle to get that message across. The low speed is key, yet its safety AND perception to other road users aspect, is ignored by the naysayers. I could understand the negativity on a car forum, but on a bike forum... it boggles the mind. I believe that some...

I'd go with the TDI. It'll be the quietest of the bunch, have the best ride, best handling, best steering (tracking ease when you do 60k a year is a big deal) The fuel economy will put more in your pocket as per the taxable benefit you mentioned..I think...not sure of your deal. Also has great...

Well you didn't disappoint, lol...hey, you even managed to cover both in the same sentence..touché.. go ahead, have last word.

He seems to have more credibility in Romper Room than Laws/ Regulations/ HTA. Considering his apparent profession, that can't be good.. Not sure what his point was with the rolleye at me for this: "you should lead with this more, its very convincing...:rolleyes:" Why chop the balance of a...

There was only grass median separating the two directional highways...although not to say that with those speeds even a concrete barrier could easily be breached by the bike flying over over it. With those excessive speeds, a glancing blow off the side of one of those cars could easily send him...
