    Unmarked Police Vehicles

    Definitely agree with your fixes if the problem were just people speeding, however, OP notes that he always sees someone pulled over every time he passes though the same intersection. We don't know if people are actually being pulled over for speeding, running red lights, distracted driving...

    Do Not Call Registry

    Ask if his last name is Hunt. Then say "You, suck Mike Hunt". *crickets* Anyway, when I was in telemarketing a decade ago, the company bought phone lists from Bell. A lot of people that were cold-called had said that they had added themselves to the DNC list (and usually threaten legal action...

    It was more of a reply to your reference to Europe - That is definitely not "around here".

    Unmarked Police Vehicles

    They have mobile ones in Alberta. If you see a white cube van pulled off the side of the highway....... Radar detectors are also legal there too so, they're just a bit annoying with all the beeping they do.

    Heat = more squids

    When the sun is shining and it's stupidly hot, don't they get sun burned when wearing t-shirt and shorts, or are they only out long enough to get to the closest Timmies?

    Heat = more squids

    +1 Personally, I see it as, "If someone much more skilled at motorcycling than myself can go down, then so can I". Now, just tack on additional unexpected risks of riding on the street (Cross-traffic, oil/sand, streetcar tracks/manhole covers, and debris)... I've gone down due to taking a turn...

    Anyone have a V4 Ducati Speciale yet?

    Confronting a mid-20 able-bodied girl for parking in a handicap spot and asking what made her so special to use that spot with many others available. When driving away, she also accelerated in an aggressive manner to insinuate that she'd run him over.

    Downtown toronto to Oshawa 2:46

    Usually takes about the same time because I can take the HOV on Don Mills Rd on my bike. Otherwise, I would take a few extra mins due to gearing up.

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    Re: I Saw You, Are you on this forum? V.2.0. Yeah... Just saw an R3 today splitting up the DVP this afternoon and almost side swiped and possibly run over because she grabbed a fist full of brakes when seeing a cop a few cars up and almost lost it while veering in front of the van while...

    Rant : Allstate rate increase by 65% for no reason

    +1 Exactly what I was thinking. Recommendation for insurance companies: I've seen around this forum that some people have had some luck paying around $1500-$2000 through Facility Association with SuperSports. That being said, there are many other factors other than just the bike, and a 65%...

    A whole different world

    CBR125 - $10 to fill the tank, about 380kms city riding, and around 280km highway when pinning it the whole way through.

    Anyone have a V4 Ducati Speciale yet?

    Remember the guy that had a coffee thrown at him at a Tims a couple years ago? Well, he is Speciale.

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    To the duck-walking shoulder rider on the DVP @ 10AM this morning. If you're going to ride the shoulder or attempt to filter through traffic, please at least indicate your intentions and commit to what you decide on doing. While following traffic you were in my sights for about 10 mins and I...

    OOPS! Not charges I'd want to be dealing with

    I fail to see how my post can be interpreted as "tough guy crap". No helmet tap will stop someone that intends to run from cops, or have any effect to a helicopter hovering over you anyway.

    How much would you be willing to pay for insurance?

    I had a similar mindset when I first started riding at 19. My first year (18 ), the cheapest rate I found was $3500 in one pre-payment.. I found that too much for me - especially for a CBR125. The next was a bit more reasonable at $1900 for the year - monthly payments. As I grew older, I...

    OOPS! Not charges I'd want to be dealing with

    *Helmet tap* for those flying down the QEW regularly. OPP will be glad to showcase the amount of excessive speeders they can catch to justify their new toy.

    Caught With No Insurance

    You forgot that those plate scanners can't scan plates tucked under the bike. That's a pretty good excuse for pulling a motorcyclist over.
