After a few year in the west end I'm back in Durham, just as soon as my new bike arrives (hopefully sometime in June) I'd love to come out and do some riding with you guys. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You see it as extortion the government see it as protection to the consumer or the public in general. Imagine you need to hire a civil engineer to design a bridge over a river on your property, a bridge which you and your family will drive over every day. Now imagine that without that level of...

Not disputing this but there is one other profession that isn't licensed by PEO and it can and is legally called an engineer and that is a Locomotive Engineer. By literal definition an engineer is one who operates an engine so it's a little sad we are always the forgotten black sheep of the...

Airdog is another company working on a similar product with a 40mph speed and tracking range of 1000feet, you can preorder that for a low price of US$1200. I can definitely see issues with using it at a track though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very first post and it's about unbeliveable rates with little or no info on type of bike, general location of rider and or age of rider, and he somehow has an insurance broker logo attached to the post...let me guess you're next reply will be contact R. Duffy brokers right??? Seems fishy to me...

Why would both parties be in the wrong? Nothing illegal about passing on double yellow lines, on the other hand nothing wrong about taking pictures in a public place either but in this case the OP had no reason to take the picture since the rider wasn't doing anything wrong.

When they become Ducatis that's when. My 848 used to do 140kms to a tank and the 749 isn't much better...although I'm pretty sure they designed it that way cause that's about the same time you're body needs a rest. No iron butt riding one of these suckers that's for sure.

Thanks g2teg if you have something to say in terms of disputing my intelligence please don't hesitate, I assure you I can hold my own with you or anyone else any day.

Fair enough, I still don't see his actions as correct and in my opinion he shares part of the blame for had he not decided to teach the rider a lesson and simply continued passing I doubt the rider would have had the same reaction but ultimately I can't dispute what you're saying eventually he...

I'm sorry Rob but I respectfully dissagree, the OP was in fact passing up until the point by his own admission decided to teach the rider a lesson and slow down and pace the vehicle next to him (during which time he was no longer technically passing) until such time as he felt that the lesson...

Oh god do I have to say it again as well? That's the behaviour the OP was doing so it's not my scenarios...like you said you wouldn't be in the fast lane but the OP by his own admission was. So tomato or tomato anyway you slice it the OP was in the wrong as much as the rider was.

I'm sorry jc100 I'm not sure I fully understand your point cause if there was proper lane discipline there wouldn't be a need for anyone to ever pass anywhere other than in the passing lane and therefore no need to as you put it bully your way through traffic. Also if you're claiming that...

It's not that simple at all...you claimed that if you were in the passing lane doing 120 you would refuse to speed up for anyone coming up behind you so my question to you is this... what if the car in the lane next to you is also doing 120 or relatively close to it? Do you still feel the same...

So because you're already doing 120 passing another car even if the speed differential is only 1 or 2 kms/hr and will take you forever to pass you won't speed up or move over for someone faster? That's a great attitude to have and one that many drivers including the OP seem to share with you and...
