Again though. there's no evidence the one in the shop wasn't dropped either. I've never bought a helmet in a store that came in a sealed box that I knew had never been opened. I'm not sure how that's any different from buying through the mail. All I'm saying is that whether you buy in a store or...

Re: Parker Bros. - done Walmart and the internet are evil. But, if you live in a world populated by evil things, like Walmart and the internet, and you want to compete with them, you need a business model that will work. If you can't create a business model that will work than the evil Walmart...

Fight it. It is a moving violation under the HTA. You were in a vehicle, it was moving. Follow all steps for fighting a ticket as outlined in the stickies above. Get disclosure. Don't say you have crappy tires or don't know the power of the vehicle you're operating. Basically you're saying you...

You think the one you buy from the store hasn't been on someone else's head? Maybe for at least the 30 minutes you recommended to see if it fits?

Well, calling them dumb may have been harsh on my part. My point is that many tow truck operators think they know the law. That doesn't mean they do. The driver of the vehicle is prohibited by law from leaving the scene. Nothing to my knowledge prohibits the tow operator from leaving the scene...

I can guarantee you that is exactly the case. They are told to lay careless charges for nearly everything. The driver, feeling threatened, pleads to something like following too closely. Yeah, the prosecutor gets a conviction. The region gets money. The police budget is offset. Police salary...

A bill from whom? Police don't charge to respond to a 911 call. Ambulance will only charge if they transport. Many fire departments will charge, but they don't actually have the legal authority to and can be challenged pretty easily and many fire depts are not fuelled by the need to make money...

D'oh!! Thanks.

I know a guy in his 70's that rides an S1000RR. There is no "too old". There is a "no longer fit" but that can hit at any age.

Lots of people ride that don't have the skills or mindset to do so within a tolerable level of risk. The writer seems to me to be one of those people. Good for us all that he decided to stop riding. The level of risk for a well skilled rider with a good awareness of the road and traffic safety...

GTA should be salt free by mid April (other than the week or so after the traditional April snowstorm, whenever that happens). The surrounding regions will have crap on the roads well into May. Your results may vary so take this with a grain of salt. Edited to correct spelling. :D

Yep. Fibreglass and kevlar are equally not good. These fibres stick to the lung tissue and cannot be gotten out, and they don't decompose over time, like wood dust does. Therefore = VERY BAD to breath in. So, anyone working with this stuff and not wearing respiratory protection is a fool (or...

I'm curious how that's gonna work. So, bike price is $5,000. I have that in hand and you let me ride your bike; I total your bike and you then ask me for the $5,000? Or, you want me to put $5,000 in your hand before I ride the bike, trusting that you're going to give it back to me afterwards? I...

I like the Hyosung cover. I think that's brilliant. But, for the OP's situation, I'd recommend building a very small shed, the size used for storing garbage cans. You can make one from scratch for probably $100 or you can buy prefab. This one is 4' x 7': $300 from WalMart.

Exactly.

I've almost never ridden a bike before I bought it. Used or new. I'm not about to let someone I don't know ride off on my bike. BTW the bike is either insured, or its not. If its insured, anyone riding the bike is covered. Same as for a car. There might not be collision coverage and even if...

DA is considering criminal charges and father of the fiance ain't impressed: http://ktla.com/2013/01/30/biker-marriage-proposal-shuts-down-freeway/#ixzz2JUg9Tljy

If you want to park 300 bikes, go to a parking lot. Using a highway is ridiculously self-absorbed and douchey. And why do you want to create a cloud of any smoke, let alone pink.

Re: Helme That's true of just about anything. Fibreglass, nylon, aluminum, steel, rubber, just to name a few products on your bike that will not be absorbed into your bloodstream. If you crash and have open wounds, it isn't the blood flowing in you need to worry about; it's the blood flowing...

Re: Helme Carbon DIoxide is not a toxin. It will asphixiate due to oxygen exclusion (i.e if that is all there is in the atmosphere around you, you choke to death, same is true for many gases though, including nitrogen) but it isn't toxic in itself. Carbon MONoxide, on the other hand, is very...
