    Recommend me a tablet...

    Depends if it has a data connection/SIM card (or if it's capable of it). If it does, remove the SIM card and you're done. If it doesn't, you're good to hand it off.

    Help! Lowest quote $9800!!

    I believe this was through Nordic (Facility) - through a broker. Same thing from what I understood. Forgot to mention, they wanted 1 upfront payment. Compared to others, I believe this quote was ~$300-$400 cheaper.

    Help! Lowest quote $9800!!

    I was quoted $3500/yr liability only for a CBR125 with a clean record (and newly licensed - M2) at 18 years old. Yes, I called around, yes this was the cheapest quote, no, I didn't ride that year - $1900 the next year. This was 6 or 7 years ago.

    Help! Lowest quote $9800!!

    If you were paying ~$3400 for a ninja 250, what did you expect for a bike with 4x the power? If you're being compensated for your wages for being "too injured" to work, you're probably "too injured" to ride a motorcycle. If you are being compensated and you were to get back on a motorcycle...

    Is ramping illegal?

    I think it goes without saying that "ramping" behind another vehicle going much slower, or with an unsecured load is a terrible idea 100% of the time.

    close call

    It'll help those that would typically grab a fist full of brakes and flip their bike.

    Greater following distances saves lives! Person going the other way is screwed. Close your eyes and hope for the best.

    urgent: need aftermarket turn signal indicator 600rrm m2 exit test next week!

    Interesting... I thought we were allowed to resort to hand signals. I guess they might as well phase out hand signals altogether as most people nowadays don't know what they mean. When I was 16 and got my G1, it seemed like most people I spoke with at that time (that passed) typically got the...

    Caught on cam: Biker nearly struck by SUV

    Prime example of what happens when you smash someone's mirror and the driver doesn't just take it. Funny how the rider that got knocked off was giving him the "wtf?" hands after being hit. Yes, it could have been much worse. He could have potentially lost his life depending on how he was hit...

    Getting passed by another motorcycle in my lane

    Noobs recklessly splitting and flying past other motorcyclists in their own lanes... Happens almost every other day when I ride to work, most never indicate, insist on hard start/stops while cutting in front of cars in traffic, and have terrible balance when coming to a stop. I find it's...

    Caught on cam: Biker nearly struck by SUV

    Thing is, within 3 seconds of making the mistake, the car was being kicked and mirror smashed off. We don't know whether the driver was remorseful or trying to apologize at the time of the event. Probably not so much after having the mirror smashed off. On the other hand, I know the type...

    Caught on cam: Biker nearly struck by SUV

    Mistakes happen... If the driver wanted to intentionally put the biker in danger and cut him off, we would likely be dealing with a dead biker rather than one fleeing. Just call it a close call because of some idiot and ride on, or if you feel the need, yell and throw hand gestures to get the...

    photo radar here ???

    I would imagine it isn't hard to hit 99km/h...? Or does it loop and read 01 at 101km/h?

    Unmarked Police Vehicles

    I'm curious as to where you see people saying that the officer was an a*hole.... Aside from the OP and revenue generation bit, I don't see "how many were saying that the officer that operates the Ram was such an ahole". Perhaps being an ex-cop, you think that all civilians think cops are a-holes?

    Insurance Gap

    Something isn't really adding up. The CBR600RR would cost you $95/mo if you waited until you're 30. The Ninja 650 would cost you $135/mo BUT is $45 more than what you're currently paying for your Ninja 300. You're currently paying $90/mo for your Ninja 300? I doubt the CBR600RR would cost less...

    Purchasing out of the city

    The owner, or yourself should get a UVIP (I believe it's the sellers responsibility, but it's for your benefit and many sellers push it on to the buyer - $20). For it to be plated, you need to have it registered as FIT (safety within 30 days), and have an insurance policy on the bike. It may...

    Is ramping illegal?

    Wow, a 3 year thread revival. Anyways, now that the weather is getting hotter, it seems like engines seem to be blowing up a lot more often and spewing oil all over highway ramps. Just going out for a cruise today, (on/off 4 different highway ramps), two of the four had oil spewed all over...

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    I haven't seen these lately, but last year, when I had more time to cruise around, I saw these regularly in Markham. It was bad.
