    I Saw You: V.2.0

    You should probably let out some of the summer air and add spring air. Helps with bumps.... Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    To be fair, how many times have you seen someone on a sports bike wearing a tank top and shorts? I see them quite often. I'm a cruiser rider myself, and I wear full gear, because the day I don't, is the day I wish I had. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    Saturday August 8. Hwy 400 north before hwy 88 exit around 7pm Blue/white gsx-r. Consider yourself lucky that I'm a fellow rider and bikes are the first thing I look for in my mirrors when changing lanes in my cage. Saw you coming up fast behind me, was going to switch lanes so you could carry...

    Rider down Barrie

    Around the corner from my place. Don't know what happened, just came out to grab something out of my car and saw the street blocked off. Hope the rider is ok. Sent from my SM-G386W using Tapatalk

    Oh Deer.. I went down..

    Glad you're ok. If I remember correctly, there was someone else here who hit a deer on their bike on the 400 about 8/9 years ago. Can't recall who. Sent from my SM-G386W using Tapatalk

    Getting stuck behind a Harleytrain

    I ride a cruiser, and usually stick to the speed limit or slightly over. If there's a bike coming up behind me, I move to the right and let them pass. When riding with a group, we'll usually pass the word up by comms to make room for safe passing. Would never endanger myself or cause another...

    TD Insurance rate hikes?

    Got mine yesterday. $1559 compared to 1496 last year. No changes to policy. Shopped around cheapest I found was cibc at 1098. Can't figure out why the big difference.

    400/89 sept 12

    That makes a lot more sense than what I was thinking since the bike was closer to the off ramp side that he went down coming off the highway, but the shark curve on the on ramp makes more sense. Anyways, I saw the biker walking around on his own and getting checked out by the medics so it seems...

    License suspended due to unpaid fines, does it affect the insurance?

    I've had my licenses suspended for unpaid tickets. I was out of the country and it had been suspended for 6 months before I reinstated. From MY OWN PERSONAL experience, I was asked if my license had been suspended, upon answering yes, they asked why, then informed me that suspension because of...

    Wasps

    Father in law tried that last year. Watching him run around the yard was quite hilarious. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Laid her down :(

    Whoa man, ease up on the statistic stuff. Yes I'm inexperienced, haven't even used up a full tank of gas on the bike. Have had it for 4 weeks, and probably put 170kms on it in that time span. You're right, there's no substitute for experience, but there's really only one way to get it, hands on...

    Laid her down :(

    That's exactly the same scenario here. Sun was back out but road was still wet, started braking at same distance I would in dry condition, and bam, down I went. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
