    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    60km/h since it became a construction zone - used to be 80km/h (and still is a couple hundred meters back). Flow of traffic in the construction zone there typically ranges from 80km/h for people cruising and 100km/h in the passing lane.... No love for the construction workers there. Frequenting...

    Ouch! Always (almost) wear armor while riding.

    He would have doubled his stopping power if he put his other foot down to stop.

    Riding around Toronto

    The Kawartha area is more of a day trip ride than a minor detour from Toronto. It's around a 2 hr ride to just get there + the "after work" rush hr to get out of the city. It also depends what you would consider a ride. Looking for some twisty roads? scenery? Just cruise around? A balancing act...

    Night time riding? What is the really hazard?

    My worst fear is having a deer pooping out of the bushes at night.

    iPhone calendar issues

    If you're using the Safari browser, you should be able to hold down the Refresh icon when you're on iCloud.com and click "Request Desktop Site". Should be able to do the same if you're using Chrome when you open up it's settings. I don't remember the layout (and don't have an iPhone) so I can't...

    No way to get discounts on insrance.

    Hmm, referencing insurance quotes from 14 years ago and comparing to our current market of available insurers wouldn't be very accurate would it...? DesJardin was able to give me a decent rate for my Car/Home/Bike. I pay $3100/yr combined at 26 years old... I do also have a at fault claim in a...

    Two tickets

    Lol, maybe if we lived in a province where there wasn't only 2 underwriters willing to insure SuperSport bikes at a reasonable rate.

    iPhone calendar issues

    Sign into your iCloud account via web browser (icloud.com) and see if your Calendar events exist there. Through the 100s of Apple devices I've setup or walked through setting up, I find that anything with active syncing are a bit finicky (ie. iCloud and Exchange mailboxes/calendars/contacts)...

    Why iPhone is better than Android

    Most newer laptops have USB-C ports now. Some, getting rid of all other than USB-C (Thunderbolt 3) ports - This includes the charging and display ports. Ie. New Macbook Pro has 4x "Thunderbolt 3" ports, and the Dell XPS 13 having 3x USB-C ports + an audio out port. Still the early stages...

    Bike died mid ride. Any ideas?

    +1 Had this happen to my CBR 125 a few years ago. Gauges would randomly go crazy and bike would randomly lose what little power it had for a second or two while under load. Bolt that held the ground wire vibrated loose, but didn't fully disconnect =/

    Gymkhana options

    Having an uninsured and unplated bike would complicate things. That aside, find a lot that is empty and out of the way, when asked to leave, leave. If going with a few people, limit the amount of people and make sure they don't have attention seeking bikes (loud pipes) and aren't A*holes to...

    Need new computer...

    Many subscription based AV's aren't compatible with the latest "High Sierra" roll-out unless you buy their latest version. Lots of external device driver incompatibilities as well.. Given the latest Macbook contains 4x USB-C ports (or as Apple calls them "Thunderbolt 3"), you're pretty limited...

    Need new computer...

    Re: Maintenance: Agreed to an extent.. Re: AV No - I find Mac users are more susceptible to viruses because of the false sense of security that "Macs can't get viruses". Re: Updates Windows has have had issues lately (in the past few months) causing grief for their users which are relatively...

    Sad face. Bring back the cap and trade program + EV rebate, and let me get my EV minus $14k!

    Doug ford - First month in a nutshell

    I'm sure there's more to defining what the gas prices are/should be, but I (don't know about anyone else), was led to believe the the Cap and Trade program was the cause of around the $0.10 increase. Eliminating it brought it back down for a week or two, but now it's back up. Would this mean...

    Doug ford - First month in a nutshell

    Anyone else notice gas prices dropping by $0.10 the week of ditching the cap and trade program, but as of this week, it's gone up $0.13+ since then?

    Insurance for M1 rider

    I had a broker tell me the same thing about 6 years ago, but I know that it isn't up to the broker to approve/deny a claim. I was even asked if I knew anyone in other cities that I can register my vehicle under... A broker's (salesperson's) goal is to sell you the product - some bend the rules...
