    right turn clyde

    ^ hah so true. Where else but on a motorbike forum do you see a section like Fallen Riders? Choosing to ride a motorcycle means you've already assumed a lot of risk.

    TD MM gives a 2007-08 ZZR600 a "high performance" rating? Want $9000/year...

    Re: TD MM gives a 2007-08 ZZR600 a "high performance" rating? Want $9000/year... I would've sent you to TD MM for those good rates on the ZZR600. Did something change there in the last year or two?

    right turn clyde

    ^ and that is where you classically get rear ended by the guy behind you, also making a right turn and also on the throttle. Another reason I don't go till traffic is but a distant speck.

    BECK TAXI, Crooked drivers should be fined!!!!

    They were giving you the brush off. 5 guys aren't driving the cab at the same time. Now you can get the taxi company into trouble, if they don't know who was driving at a particular time.

    BECK TAXI, Crooked drivers should be fined!!!!

    And then cabbie probably has to drive back to Mississauga to get back into his radio district.

    BECK TAXI, Crooked drivers should be fined!!!!

    +1 That will cost the cabdriver his licence. Also complain to Beck who will fire the driver. That's why they put those big honking numbers all over the car.

    I wonder how long this insanity will last....

    It's a bit outdated (Aug 2013) but select Canada and then try prices vs. rent button, and prices vs. income button http://www.economist.com/blogs/dailychart/2011/11/global-house-prices

    I wonder how long this insanity will last....

    btw over 14 years that works out to average annual gain of 2.53%. Lots of research shows real estate is not a great long term investment. Most people are leveraged and do really well or really badly - and you don't read about the guys that get wiped out. They're not surfing GTAM since they...

    Do you think you're cool under pressure?

    Do you think you're cool under pressure?

    The moral is: if you're going to be in a mid-air collision, best to be hanging out on strut with your chute on. And you could tell the dufus pilot was NOT worrying about flying the plane. He was watching the jumpers.

    A No Brainer. Biking without a helmet.

    Hospital staff can guess who wasn't wearing a helmet.... "The helmetless are distinctive, says Dr Lori Terryberry-Spohr: they suffer “diffuse” internal bleeding and cell death across large areas. Such patients typically run up $1.3m in direct medical costs. Fewer than a third work again." from...

    Amazon prime air

    I have been very wrong before but that seems really dumb. How about thousands of those things buzzing around, crashing into people, hydro wires, pigeons and what have you? I am sure already widely used for flying drugs across borders tho.

    Old MotoGP stuff to watch

    And the penalty wasn't on the first lap...... That plus how Rossi strips a half second out of a lap just for fun at 2005 Laguna Seca (in the movie "The Doctor, the Tornado and the Kentucky Kid") convinced me that Rossi can win any race any time.

    Motorcycle very close call!!!

    Great example of the problem with countersteering. To go right he has to steer left, but there's no room on the left - so he goes straight. I think this is how riders steer into guardrails, for example. When you get too close to the guardrail (or edge of road etc.) there's no room to...
