    Running From The Police

    Gotta get ready, right? Spring is almost here!

    One of the most insane accidents I have ever seen.

    As someone pointed out, adjusting to weather is huge. People also have a terrible habit of over steering the minute they lose control of their vehicle. So sad.

    Increase Ontario 400-series Highway Speed Limit

    You can't just demand a sub section of the populace have to go slower, not to mention this isn't what other countries do. They simply have enforced their rules more strictly and ingrained the populace with the notion that passing to different lanes isn't a game of hot potato and that the law is...

    There's something about that car, but it makes the Matte Black look like a spray job.

    Get over the name "Saddlebags" and you'll be fine. There's this stereotype of them being leather bags because that's what some cruiser riders throw on. Some of the hardcase mounted ones are really nice and can match your bike perfectly. Just detach them when you want to look "cool" again.

    Increase Ontario 400-series Highway Speed Limit

    Other countries have the good sense to make driver training mandatory or extremely strict testing guidelines. In Canada we just keep adding length to the process, but the issue still remains that most new drivers are being taught by people who don't know a single good thing about driving. This...

    Completely false. The toll is there so we can pay homage to the superior Spanish tolling company that has graced us with their kindness by increasing the "donations" we make in their name.

    Emergency braking

    I took mine at Sheridan College and watched quite a few people wash out. Maybe it had to do with it raining the whole weekend, but we were given enough time to practice before the test that it shouldn't have been a deciding factor for anyone.

    Helmet Fitting - Is swapping padding safe?

    Thanks for the link! It's making me paranoid about my own helmet now even though it's still snug. I don't know how I didn't consider taking her out to the show, which is an awesome suggestion. I'd expect there to be a bit more odd sizes simply to clear them out. I didn't know they did this, so...

    And this is why we can't have nice things. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

    Emergency braking

    Two people failed from my group without ever dropping the bike. Depends on where you go.

    Helmet Fitting - Is swapping padding safe?

    I measured and she's about 51cm, which is the lower end of the Shoei XXS sizing and would explain why it still had wobble to it (padding wear-in from people trying it on) and is probably a good indicator of what would happen to the fit if she wore it a few times. I have yet to hear back from...

    Rain Gear favorites

    I bought mine in the same size as my gear (Small). The Frogg Toggs outfits seem to be made with being placed over your gear kept in mind.

    He could fit a tank bag and I'm sure there's some after market method for attaching a tail or saddlebags.

    The one by GP only ever had open face kids helmets.

    Helmet Fitting - Is swapping padding safe?

    Icon never came close to fitting and we were never able to find an AGV in her size. Turns out Arai makes the Astro Light, made for smaller riders, but I can only seem to find it in the UK.

    Current Bike Mags of Note?

    Yeah, I've been trying to find a good one but it would seem most of the North American ones are geared towards MX, Harley's and Street (normally aimed at the wrong type of people riding sport bikes) I grabbed a copy of Motorcycle Sport Leisure, a UK mag, And was pleasantly surprised with the...

    Helmet Fitting - Is swapping padding safe?

    We're not. It's just that the RF1100 line has the smallest helmet size of all the ones she's tried on. I've checked HJC, Scorpion, Bell..etc and its just come down to sizing and availability.

    Helmet Fitting - Is swapping padding safe?

    Don't think I haven't considered this option, but due to helmet sizing and how it varies between models, not to mention manufacturers, I'm hesitant to buy a Childrens size helmet off of the internet. I've tried to find them in store, but no one seems to carry them. Yeah, Shoei does sell 41mm...
