    My (and your) life is only worth $85 + $9

    Now jaded from my own experience, this does not surprise me, but it does anger me. Summary: A man driving a BMW car kills one biker and injures 3 other riders that now have lifelong injuries. Phone records show his cellphone received four phone calls during the drive and one text message near...

    My (and your) life is only worth $85 + $9

    That's tragic. I hope the family went after her, legally speaking. It reminds me of Liz Metcalfe -- her death was in 2011 but the case is still ongoing. The Crown is still pursuing the driver. Her thread in the Fallen Riders thread is in the archive...

    Ouch!!!

    Here are the responses I've received so far. All respondents have had broken collar bones except #3. Unfortunately it sounds like the advice you were given was sound. Dr Chabra who works out of oshawa general, and the oshawa clinic. He did mine, though he said most are moving away from doing...

    Ouch!!!

    I put some feelers out on my facebook to people I know have had orthopedic surgeries. I'll let you know when I hear of anything. I'm sorry you're in so much pain. Hopefully this story will have a happy ending.

    My (and your) life is only worth $85 + $9

    I think part of the problem is that police officers charge people with a blanket charge like "Careless Driving" hoping it will stick. This is a major conviction and virtually forces the person to hire a paralegal. This in turn leads to the paralegal choosing the lowest consequence charge for...

    My (and your) life is only worth $85 + $9

    In the original post I said I expected this outcome. To be honest if I was in the driver's shoes, I would've hired a paralegal also. I don't recall anyone asking for blood or jailtime. Something more than $94 would've been more appropriate IMHO. I'm no legal eagle, but something more major with...

    My (and your) life is only worth $85 + $9

    Yes she was. The other punitive financial consequences are the cost of her paralegal ($500 for a major?) and her insurance rates. She was early twenties at most. Also, I added #4 in the original post. I'm still healthy and still riding. People, it's yourself vs everyone else out there on the...

    My (and your) life is only worth $85 + $9

    Just got back from the trial against the woman who caused my motorcycle accident. 1. She hired a paralegal and plead down to a lesser charge called "Start from a stop not in safety." $85. Seriously???!!! To be honest, I expected this. At the bare minimum I hope she learned to be more aware on...

    Dollar Store Chain Oiler

    Basically a poor man's Scottoiler. I approve! Does it drip when you're waiting at a red light? Also I've found the Scottoiler drip rate to be very finicky and dependent on the temperature.

    I know there's a lot of interest in MotoGP, but it's good to support and be excited about our own local racing series here. CSBK (Canadian Superbike) Round 1, our national racing series, was at Shannonville this past Sunday June 8th. Round 1 Pro Sportbike Class...

    Balisong Trainers

    I know a guy who happened to be at a mall in Buffalo with a martial arts store where they had them. He just put it in the tail of his bike and came home.

    My daily rides are over

    This might sound heretical, but I commute to work on my scooter. I literally pay less than $4 per week in gas! Mind you, I'm only about 20 mins from work. Lunch goes in the seat, and when I arrive at work, I put my helmet, gloves and protective glasses in the seat. Scooters are a lot of fun to...
