    Today, I rode a Harley

    Demo day, I went out and tried a Switchback. I don't get it. There's millions of Harley riders and I don't intend to bug you but... Why? It vibrates like a bad 60's vibro bed, it's super slow, and it made me feel like I was going to drop it on a 90 degree intersection. Maybe you Harley peeps...

    Current Gas Prices - No one else concerned??

    I agree. Watch Game of Thrones for the future state of Earth. Maybe without the dragons.

    Moving to Toronto

    That is one of the most hilarious things I've seen lately. Thanks! And the comments that all the furnishings are high end and tasteful cracks me up

    Bike run over by cab!

    I'm siding on going to insurance, this is why you pay for it, especially in an obvious not-at-fault case like yours. I tried being nice once when someone dented my car fender. He asked to pay and I said OK, just let me get the insurance just in case. I asked for the other guy to hold on a sec...

    Honda Grom vs Cleveland Misfit

    The Honda Grom is made in Thailand. The Suzuki GW is made in China. The Suzuki TU is made in Japan. So Japanese brand may not mean Japanese built, if that makes any difference to you

    Toronto to Los Angeles

    I think you might find going in Sept also offers less holiday/tourist traffic, but of course more in-city commuter traffic, and that accommodations would be less expensive, if you aren't camping. I usually wait until after labour day so all the childrens are back in school and out of any...

    EPA acknowledges that ethanol damages engines

    I believe some Loblaw branded stores are non-ethanol, they aren't labelled. I could not find a law for Ontario, but I did find this, which is not great for those touring in US Warning: Gas pump labeling when ethanol is added is NOT required in the following states: California, District of...

    If you weren't feeling old

    Awesome. I used to write infinite loop printing programs on purpose so that I would get the biggest printout in class - the next day of course as the school didn't actually have a computer.

    California bound on an FJR1300 in April

    Ah ha! I knew it was a dream, because you should be saying that it's 91 degrees.

    Has your bike been been on TV/Movies?

    I was catching up on Hawaii 5-0 and watched as a bad guy jumped onto a bike in a museum exhibit (where all bikes are apparently fully fueled with the keys in them) in order to flee the good guys. It took a few seconds, (because the paint job was just wrong) but I realized it was a Concours14 -...

    Walking Dead (Spoliers)

    I still think the crazy girl should have knifed the baby, then you'd have this snarling zombaby terrorizing everyone around their ankles.

    Travel Medical Insurance and Paranoia

    Agree with everyone on insurance. This thread reminded me to check mine; between work, CAA and Visa Infinite, looks like I have 2.5million for 15 days min. When I get to 65, it drops to 4 days away. That's not much of a vacation!

    TD Insurance (Bike Only)

    Been with TD for 4 years, since then the rates have gone up 20%, but still less than what Kingsway offered my in 2010. Can not comment on services, since I have had no claims. Premiums are indeed split up into 7 months for 12 months coverage, if you like to pay monthly.
