    Gender Bender crazyness

    A stupid comment would be "He refused to cut my hair, that's scary." If I wanted a suit altered and was refused service because the place was tailored to females and dresses, should I be scared and sue, or should I go somewhere else? Just re-read your comment, seems you're just offended by...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Fiancee's uncle took possession of his Model 3 about 1.5 months ago (as well as home charger) and took advantage of both rebates. Too bad I haven't seem him since he got his car, but he started an Instagram account for it and is pretty detailed in the features and random Tesla facts/stats...

    Do people really fall for this... LOL

    Curious - to see if somebody can, or because you lost access to it?

    What bike garners the most street respect?

    Especially those with obnoxiously loud pipes that rev bomb everywhere they go to tell everyone that they're cool. (Cars and bikes) It's actually quite funny when you see the intent to get peoples attention (bus stops and such), but nobody gives a F. Maybe I'm just jelly that I can't be cool...

    Do people really fall for this... LOL

    Pretty much 95% of the laptop market have integrated webcams. That being said, it's not that hard to get a not-so-tech savvy user to install malicious software. Macros embedded in Word, Excel, and pdf documents seems to be much more common now. That being said, it only takes one person to...

    Tipping point: If an ambulance attends.

    But then the person you punched will call 911 on you for assault.

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    If you ride a black Ninja 300 and got on the DVP South from the Don Mills ramp at around 10AM on Monday, you may need to adjust your chain (badly). I heard the metallic loose chain noise from 3 lanes away in my car and the chain was bouncing everywhere.

    I finally saw it happen, glad I didn't ride in this morning

    More often than not, people on the HOV on the 404 between 5PM-7PM are single occupant drivers.

    M2 -> M Insurance Decrease?

    It's 2018, you just need to identify as X. https://mitchellwhale.com/the-x-factor-genderless-auto-insurance-hits-ontario/ Here's my track record for age/insurance for liability + fire and theft coverage (lived at 3 different addresses during this time but all in York Region): 17/18 - CBR125 -...

    My bike was hit in a parking lot

    You seem to be implying that someone could go around bumping into other vehicles and there would be nothing people could do... Unless you're referring to only the Failure to Remain charge. Under the criminal code, they could be charged with mischief..

    Commuting in the heat

    Stopped commuting to work unless the weather conditions are ideal. Call it Fair-weather commuter. Between 13-30 degrees Celsius and dry, I'd do it. Otherwise, I just ride on the weekend. Gardiner -> DVP -> 404 in rush hr is terrible in 30+ degree weather. 38kms door to door in 1h15-1h45m = at...

    Riding on hwy shoulder/emergency lanes

    Doesnt seem like anyone noticed that I revived a thread from 2 years ago. Also, cbcanada (person you quoted) is banned. Im sure his court date has come and gone. Just didnt want to start a new thread on this topic.

    Riding on hwy shoulder/emergency lanes

    Been seeing people riding the shoulder of the DVP almost daily and have a question for those that do: Why ride on the right shoulder (4-5ft wide) and split the lanes of people coming from an on-ramp? If you want to bypass traffic, why not ride the HOV bus lane with over double the amount of...

    Mortgage Renewal Time

    I'm in the market for buying, and feel that a lot of houses are going up for sale because of the rate increase/their renewal. Even for Sub-1mill houses. The days of putting 5% down and riding out the inflation of real estate is coming to an end as renewals come around.

    Lane filtering might become legal....

    I'm pretty sure most cagers aren't told explicitly that filtering/splitting is illegal; they're just uncomfortable with people close to their cars and get angry when someone goes in front of them. Hell, some cars (going straight) make room for other cars behind them to squeeze to the right to...

    Fuel L/100km

    I'm no moto mechanic, but having your oil overfilled is bad - doubling it, I can't imagine it would make it better.

    Wearing earbuds while driving/riding is...illegal.

    Or... A comm device that plays music? When I started riding, I wore earbuds all the time for music and later realized that it really does take away the sense of hearing surrounding traffic. I currently ride with a comm device w/ music along with ear plugs and can hear much more...

    Video of 403 crash removed?

    +1 Not sure if this is a new trend, but I've been seeing more and more SS riders downtown who, when approaching stopped intersections, decides it's a good time to let go of the bars and stretch their arms while letting engine braking do the work with cars on the left and right of them. Look...
