You can negotiate a package if you quit. Depends on your relationship with your employer and the directly the company wants to take. Sometimes they appreciate getting offered an "out".

I find there are two types of women on here. The young 20-something year old girls that care more about looking "hot" on their bikes and getting attention, and the more mature ones that take riding safety seriously (including wearing their gear). If you belong to the latter, let me know! I live...

I'm a newb on a 600 - and I know better than to join any group rides at this point hehe

I'd actually say don't push yourself. Push yourself to take it out, but if after 15 minutes you decided you've had enough, turn around and go back home. Don't push yourself to the point of having frazzled nerves, because that will cause you to lose focus if you're panicking a little. I started...

I always preach to wear full gear and get shat on for it. I was the only one in my RTI courses wearing riding pants. After having seen someone I was riding with get hit by a car in front of me, I am even more convinced now of the benefit of riding pants.

Given that you showed the original email from the insurance company's domain, there shouldn't have been any question of validity. An email is harder to fake than a print-out of a scan. I guess this is a reminder to maybe ask for it to be faxed as well as emailed. I did not know the validity...

There was an initial section in a parking lot where we did some slow moving refreshers. Then it was about 150km of driving on roads.

Okay just thought I'd clear up a few things based on some experiences... Regarding how much effort will be put into saving your life if you are donor: Total myth. I work in hospitals. Organs are useless if you're dead. There are two sources of donation: Donation after neurological death (brain...

Getting hit by an idiot on the highway, going flying, and then the hard landing...

Actually many experienced riders would argue that confident new riders are the most dangerous (to themselves), and that an element of fear makes you safer and less likely to get yourself into a situation from riding beyond your abilities. OP, it's okay to be nervous as a newbie. It means you...

Anybody taking it downtown this upcoming weekend?

2012 Yamaha FZ6R, and not moving up since I just got it and am a new rider (scooters over a decade ago don't count)

Cornea is tissue. If it is burnt off and regrows, it's like skin as well - it's not going to fall off with time. With a flap that doesn't fully adhere, I'd agree that one doesn't know how it will hold up with time. With PRK though where you are completely regrowing the tissue, I'm confident...

If it takes 48 hours to completely regrow a wider section of the cornea than a flap would have been cut out of, then I don't see how you can still expect more healing after four years either... The not completely reattaching is what the surgeons (two of them) told me when I was getting consults...

There are ways around this as well... I get U.S. Netflix

I disagree with this. I'd shop based on the acual laser being used, not based on price. I got a quote from the top place to go in Ottawa at the time for $4K. But, they were using an older laser, having been around for a while. The daughter-in-law of this top surgeon that owned that centre...

I'll admit it was a life crisis, not a mid-life crisis since I am only 32. The last few years of my life had been pretty ******, so 7 months ago I changed everything. Moved back to Toronto, new job, new apartment, new furniture, new everything. And decided to do something that always terrified...

I walked by there about a month ago and had a bunch of guys offer to give me rides. I thanked them and told them I like riding my own bike better...

I know of two parked bikes that got knocked over by a male driver on Yonge St just a month ago. What's your point?

If this was during daylight hours, contact the sailing clubs and windsurfing club belonging to the Outer Harbour Sailing Federation and ask them to put a note in their newsletters for any potential witnesses to come forward. Those clubs always generate a lot of traffic on Unwin. Here are their...
