    I'm an idiot

    Dangerous is a criminal offence, were you released with a summons or appearance notice? If it's an appearance notice, you should consider an actual lawyer for your defence.

    If you request counsel, the police have to wait until you've spoken with counsel before asking you questions. It's referred to as "hold off duty".

    Rider down 400/Dunlop

    I was the first on scene of this collision. Wearing appropriate gear wasn't the issue here. The rider lost control on the onramp while attempting to "merge" ahead of another vehicle. I can't give more detail than that.

    "Curbing motorcycle speed 'a touchy game' in Mulmur"

    While I don't work in Dufferin, if I caught wind of someone intentionally putting gravel on the road for the purpose of slowing motorcycles, or causing them to crash, I would be laying a charge of Mischief and quite possibly Mischief endangering life. That is absolute nonsense.

    Hydraulic clutch bleeding

    It was a mistake that led me down this path in the first place... I had a large leak of fluid from the secondary and the air must have gone up the line.

    Hydraulic clutch bleeding

    Just had a bit of a breakthrough, maybe I can post it here and it will save someone a headache - I was changing clutch fluid and lost all pressure in the lever, but couldn't get it back. I have a vacuum bleeding tool that I was using and I was getting fluid out of the bleeder on the slave...

    Failing to stop

    Always better to blow. As mentioned, you can at least try to blow under. If you refuse/fail to provide, you will be charged just the same. You also have to provide two suitable samples, and they will be taken approx. 20 minutes apart. So while the first one may be over, by the time you blow the...

    Failing to stop

    There is an exemption for police under that section... but not so you can rock out while on patrol. I doubt very much that she would have the support of YRP administration if someone raised the issue.

    Failing to stop

    @MLadin - I've chosen not to reveal my name or badge on an open forum because of the potential for misuse/abuse. There are just too many users that may view that info that haven't been posting, aka the silent members, and I cringe when I think of someone personating me. Rest assured, if you need...

    Failing to stop

    That's the whole idea. I came from a customer service industry before I was hired, and still believe there is a big public service component of this job. The tough part is that sometimes the public service is good for the majority, at the risk of singling out or alienating one individual. Ex...

    Penalties for concealing plate

    I would say you're probably right that no one will call your plate in - but they will still call, and will still describe your bike, rider's gear, or any other identifiers that they see. If you're lane splitting, you are already looking at two charges, one for the plate and one for the moving...

    Penalties for concealing plate

    There will also be a $5 court cost, that will bring the total to $110. Penalty for obstructing plate is one thing, what you choose to do while your plate is obstructed may be another. And if riding like a hoon, you certainly run the risk of additional charges. If you're on the 407, you could be...

    Failing to stop

    The right to remain silent is a phrase that comes from U.S. television. Here, you should be aware of the possible consequences of giving a statement. You can ask the officer about the purpose for the statement, and whether or not you are compelled to give one at the time. For me, if I'm at the...

    Motorcycle certification

    He actually got s.84 for a combination of other issues... But the handle bar looked really clean without a brake lever. I think that was the point of the whole bike.

    Motorcycle certification

    I "met" a guy today that built bikes from scratch. He put together his ride in the absence of any front wheel braking equipment. He had a nice 4 piston caliper on the rear wheel though. His bike looked pretty cool, just not on a flatbed tow.
