Funny isn't it? :) What is also funny is how the string 'em up crowd would react if they were being tailgated by a car while passing too slowly ... :) I'm sure it would be very courteous and respectful, Not.. :)

I think I read most of this most amusing thread. Imo, there is no reason to pass anybody in their own lane. None. If you come up to somebody going slow then just wait until you can pass them in an open lane. I really don't get why anybody would do anything different? I don't care if this...

This thread terrifies me... :) I understand why people run dash cams as it can be very useful in a he said/she said situation in which an accident occurs. I even like what Rob does with his "bad driver" videos. They are very funny to watch, kind of vehicle satire if you will. But, the idea...

I have a 2008 f800st. As others have said, same as the f800s but with a higher bar. When I bought this bike I was looking for a sport tourer. The f800 series of bikes appealed to me due to the relative light weight. In the end my decision was between an vfr800 and the f800st and the lighter...

Crack open the visor. I have used shaving cream on the inside of the visor. It works for a while. Couple of other things. Avoid riding in the center of a lane especially at stop lights. This is where cars that leak leave their fluids and it can get very slippery. In really heavy rain I'll...

Kid would have to give you a lot of money to balance out the amount you spend on raising him...... :)

This post epitomizes why taking advice about the law on a generic internet forum is a giant crap shoot......

I generally ride 9 months of the year. A bad year 8 months and a good year 10 months but on average I'm not riding from mid Dec to mid March. So, you can get more then 6-7 months of riding time. If you approach riding from a purely economic point of view it is hard to justify. Personally...

Neither is riding a motorcycle.

Imo, you were charged for a safety issue. I'm a firm believer in any laws that make cell phones illegal to use while driving. I applaud the cop for giving you this ticket. The fact you had your phone in your hand indicates that you plan on using it at some time. Otherwise why have it in you...

Regardless of what he says about your banging on the steering wheel he does not have to lie about the rest. He did see you holding a cell phone. There is no lie in this. All you can do is what others have said. Hope for an 11b or find some way of creating doubt. The creating doubt will be...

I think a remedial history lesson might be in order. You might want to look up who attacked Pearl Harbor and when.... :)

I commute to downtown 50km each way. From March through until we have snow I ride everyday. As others I use a 2 piece Aerostich Roadcrafter. Goes on very easily and is very water resistant. If I'm riding in a downpour I do put on rain gear (frogg toggs). In coldish weather (down to 0c) I...

I'm guessing you were being sarcastic when you say you would be shocked? I'd be shocked if there was any real media coverage of the outcome. Classic case of out of sight out of mind.

Hey Sunny, Yup. I believe I'm in my 5th year of ownership. Never owned a bike this long... :) But, I'd like to get something new. I've pretty much decided I have to have ABS and I'd really like traction control. Luggage and heated grips have spoiled me to the extent I'm starting to think...

I know that tolerance to vibration is very subjective but did you find the ninja 1000 to have any annoying vibrations? I've read it can be an annoying buzz at certain rpms. .thanx...

I've seen this posted a couple of times. Why do people believe traction control is only needed at the track? To me, it is equally as valuable on the street. I ride 9-10mths which includes commuting every day during this period. I ride on wet roads, cold roads, wet and cold roads, dirty roads...

As others have said, try Budd's BMW in Oakville. The head service guy, John Parker is really good.

Amen !

I've been commuting on my bike for over 25 years. I like riding. It does not matter if it is commuting, track, touring etc. It is just fun to be on the bike. I've always considered riding as one of my hobbies. Commuting just lets me enjoy my hobby every day. I have found that parenthood...
