RIP Jay.
i wasn't there to see exact conditions of what went down, but this reminds me of times when i have found myself caught up in a moment of the good life and a little egomania. luckily for me, i lived to realize it. if you have too, the question is "what will you do with the lesson?".
post an itemized list from them of what they checked on the bike. then we can review the time for service. it does take some time, and it's 100/hr charge. so ya, makes sense to learn a little about the mechanics if you have the time. come over some time, and we can wrench on your bike and...
Chases should be made illegal because they increase the risk of innocent by-standers. Or do you feel Police are above the law? I think it should be considered that the time will come for a repeat offender to be processed. Perhaps they should just let them go to be dealt with another day when...
I'm not sure I can condone riding faster than traffic, but I will tend to come up near the centre line or between cars as I am stopping in order to be better positioned in case a driver of vehicle behind me is too distracted by the plethora of distraction that accompanies many drivers and misses...
this reminds me of a day when i was a pre-teen (maybe 9 or 10) and i found a cassette tape on the side walk which was in bad shape. i rewound it and listened to it, because my parents had no money to buy me any tapes, and i was 9. it turned out to be Def Leopard. So does that make me old...
i've picked up a bike in the states and took a pickup, tie-downs, and ramp to get it. i also have a vehicle with hitch, so a $25/day uhaul trailer rental would be a good option. i'm a bit cautious about riding a new/used/older bike back over some distance. caution increasing as the...
Okay. I'm a 38 y.o. rider of a 900 CC SS bike and my Jevco premiums went down from 1100 to 640. But it doesn't matter. I think 900 CC SS bikes shouldn't even be permitted on the street. You can't really ride them to their full potential. Not even half that. We certainly need a major...
Back in the early 90s I took the entry course at Humber's North Campus, and a guy sent his bike off into the wall while trying to complete this same test. I had seen this coming, but was glad he wasn't hurt. From my perspective, this guy was in the wrong place and the wrong time. If I were an...
Hey!! How do you know he's not the next Valentino Rossi? EH?! ;-)
ps. if he does end up out there, get him a Velocity leather suit. they are 100% legit man!
peace,
Okay. I know people and lawyers. When people worry, as they always do, lawyers get paid.
BTW.. Without prejudice. There's an interesting correlation between your posted sig pic that reads: "If you can read this, thank a teacher" and your spelling savvy. Let's ride! BTW. I like the Honda...
Sorry to hear of your fate and hope you recover soon. The details of your incident lead me to believe that this is a classic misjudgment brought on by panic that new riders often succumb to. Usually the car coming over, unless colliding with the parked cars, would have left room for you to...
This happened to me... We were riding Mt Laurier last summer and as I passed, a pick-up swerved half way into the lane (2 lane bi-way, not 4). My reaction was pretty much the same; i widened my stance and continued through the pass. i recall the rider who witnessed this happening in front of...
