Police will say anything to scare you out of drinking and driving.

I am sure that they confirmed the escalating santions. What you are doing, however, is confusing "excalation sanctions" with "restrictions" (a fallacy) so you probably didn't make that distinction in your communications with them either when you were confirming. And trust me, any cop will say...

Those links are the escalation scales based on offences - not the actual restrictions. When you're driving your car (above the age of 21), you're still subject to the G restrictions - you're not bumped back down to a G1 or G2 restriction-wise just because you have an M2. If you're 21 or under...

Tough one. I was married, so I could have done the kid thing at the time - I chose not to. That doesn't mean I'll rule it out in the future, although I am aware that "the clock is ticking" for me being in my 30s. I think about it sometimes, then realize that I want to enjoy being child-free a...

That's what divorce is for :)

Good luck! Let us know how it went. P.S. The pass/fail is determined based on pure metrics, so how much of a big shot you are wouldn't factor in ;) It's about time to complete the components and ability to stay between some lines.

I visit my PT twice a week at CityPlace and go for a little ride to practice after (weather permitting). There are also people that meet at King's Court at U of T Friday nights for rides. I'm a newbie as well. Did you take a course before getting your bike?

You have a profile picture when one clicks on your profile, but no avatar or posted pic in a message - where are you trying to show one?

My 600 doesn't feel like a Ferrari :( It feels like my VW :D

I have to agree - it is a little offensive the way it is worded... YOU are responsible. As it should be.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but when you get pulled over, do cops see your driving record? If so, that could explain why you didn't get a warning - with three tickets already, you've had plenty of warning about speeding. It will also be much harder for you to fight the ticket since...

Scope out some nice routes in Ottawa, will ya? My brother just got a 250 as well. Hopefully he'll let me borrow it when I visit next ;)

If you're serious about a bike, and the seller is serious about a sale, maybe he'd take it to a dealership for an inspection (which you'd then pay for). You could then do the safety at the same time, and even if you don't buy, the seller would get a safety out of it for his troubles that might...

I'd still do the course because it's good learning. There were experienced riders in my course and they all liked it as well. I did it, and now I'm thinking of doing some of their more advanced courses as well. Can't put a price on your health!

Good choice on the bike! Almost got that one as well. I might demo one some day just to see what I missed!

250s aren't that expensive brand new, so that would be a way to avoid getting burned. You can also try and hunt down a remaining 2011 clearance model. And welcome!

Your life, your skin, and then everyone else's responsibility when things go wrong - that part is missing! I bought full mesh gear with built-in protection just so that I don't have the "it's too hot" excuse and skimp out of wearing my gear. It's not as good as full leathers, that I know, and...

There is no point even trying to be "sexy" when you're out riding. Either way, you're stuck with helmet hair ;)

This is where you sit back and wait for natural selection to kick in... Sorry, I'm super lame wearing full gear in 35 C heat. Nothing sexy about that all. Oh well.

Well I have nothing down there then, and I'm not a real rider. For some reason, I'm very okay with that though since I'm not competing with anyone. I have 250km on the odometer, and I've almost had the bike a month now. I have no commute to ride on since I work across the street from where I...
