    victim of Road Rage, hit and run by a coworker, how should I handle this?

    Did you even read post #103?? It was a good 45 min before yours.. You have got to be one of the most difficult people to 'help'. You'll get what you get. That is clear... I have no choice but to label this a troll thread also, and that's a damn shame because people have invested a lot of...

    2012 CBR 250R vs 2012 Ninja 250R

    Unfortunately, you, like too many other riders, do not really 'get' ABS. ABS should be transparent and not show itself for years and years. Or....on the other hand it might reveal it's value in the first few minutes after leaving the dealership in the rain and some minivan pulls out in front of...

    2012 CBR 250R vs 2012 Ninja 250R

    "I think it largely comes from the CBRs having more torque, therefore out of the corners they were faster, until the Ninjas could pass on a straight -- That's my logic anyhow." Ya, I think you're right on that. Good torque helps a lot coming out of a corner, especially slow 80 - 100 kph type...

    My bike "too small" for highway?

    Pretty sure any advice given to him so far from his friends outside of this forum, was maybe taking into account the 401 especially, and its infamous/dangerous disappearing right lanes. I have often run the 401 when even the slowest right lane was doing 120/130, and if you have just merged...

    victim of Road Rage, hit and run by a coworker, how should I handle this?

    (tried to reply with quote but entire forum page is loading in reply box for some reason?) Ironlung, you make good points, but I think if OP has a relatively clear conscience with regards to any previous interactions with ******** #1 and 2, be it at work, parking lot or highways, then I think...

    mini police rant

    Sorry about the ticket but gotta agree, I'd be chuckling under the helmet the rest of the way home too. Gotta appreciate a driver that has the ability to think ahead that fast...although if he was in the fast lane then the farther and more gracefully he made his way over to the right, would...

    victim of Road Rage, hit and run by a coworker, how should I handle this?

    I'm curious about something. After having read entire thread, it begs the question...if these guys had done exactly what they did to your girlfriend instead of you, would you still, seriously, not see that the cops should have been called on the spot? If your answer is no then I, and I'm sure...

    LMAO@ Ducati 1199's dyno number

    I wasn't referring to the ratios between the cogs. I thought that was obvious with the context of my post.

    LMAO@ Ducati 1199's dyno number

    Stock Ducati's are well known to have tall gearing. This is done to meet exhaust db levels and emissions for import to this country. Because of this, rear wheel horsepower numbers are prone to having a greater disconnect with crank hp comparatively with inline 4's. That said, seat-of-the-pants...

    Crash

    Imminent ban needless unfounded criticism Wow, that's funny... the students I teach every weekend would probably disagree with that summation. That's unfortunate

    using a PC phone

    Cool! I've certainly heard of it. Some say it sucks and others, like yourself, have had good luck with it. I suspect it probably performs better with a good speed connection and maybe some of the negative comments on the MJ could be due to slower speed connections.

    using a PC phone

    What is pots? Paranoia is one thing, but the desire to be informed (as opposed to being ignorant) is something quite different. I fall decidedly into the latter category. Since you don't know me, you'll have to take my word for it. Ask the guy who saved over 600 grand by being able to chop his...

    using a PC phone

    Does anyone know if Yahoo Messenger and G Mail Call Phones, use the same technology? Are they both considered a type of VoIP? Are these calls fairly private? For example, could a person use that type of phone to call and order a pair of new tires from Pete and disclose the info on your credit...

    Yamaha XS650

    Truer words have never been spoken.. Their chassis was sensitive to tire pressures, steering head bearing adjustments etc..not so much if you just putt putt around with their great exhaust note, but if you regularly tested top-end limits..some ended in shorts-dirtying wobbles, and if you were...

    Sportbike Rally is NO MORE!!!

    Not surprizing...just as has already been suggested, many will go up for that w/e and the town will get the bucks without the potential liability implications. The good ol' days are just that..the old days..it sucks to be 25 years old ya'll, too bad, so sad..

    Kawasaki breaking ranks?

    If it was a vote, I'd vote to bring back ONE show..at the Intl Centre which is where it was for years and still should be. SKIIIIIIIIIRRUUUUEEEEW downtown TO. Plus, if manufacturers would band together (or do it individually) to offer up affordable insurance for the bikes they sell, we would...

    How do you bug/avoid the 407 cameras?

    It must be truly blissful to live in your idealistic, self-righteous world. See post 44 and feel free to be duped in that world..
