You were talking about Ontario, so don't use Canadian two-wheeled vehicle statistics. Two-wheelers make up 2.5% of total registered vehicle in Ontario while making up 7.6% of deaths, which is a factor of 3.11. Remember, we don't ride 12 months of the year; jurisdictions where people have...

To avoid the yahoos, ride the road during the week; gets pretty crazy on weekends. In September and October becomes much more quiet.

The reason why Ontario has the high ranking that it does is due to "us". The "us" I mean are two-wheelers and the lack of them. The other jurisdictions in North America which have higher motor vehicle mortality rates have a greater make up of motorcycle and motorscooter riders than Ontario...

That is one good neighbour; most people would not get involved.

It appears that he locked the front wheel (panicked due to target fixation).

You're calling me Darwin for what reason? Am I a relative of the famed scientist or am I a proponent of evolution? Are you a politician where you can say that I did not say (the exact words) which you claim? You implied in your comments that you supported the actions of the motorcycle rider...

Nice attitude you have. Crash into someone else then run to avoid the consequences. If you can't control your vehicle maybe you shouldn't be riding. What was so nice about the videos that zxter found? In the first video you had riders speeding in fog conditions; not exactly intelligent...

We see only part of the interaction therefore we don't know exactly what is going on. Where is it written that property owners have to allow motorcycle riders to use their property? If the owner of the property is upset, apologize for your mistake (riding on their property) and be on your way.

Is this a must to get the replacement plates? About five years ago a company vehicle had it's plates stolen; when I went to Service Ontario office I simply had to present a Police Incident Number to get the new plates.

Guys like you: how many 8th place trophies do you have at home?

Why are you defending him? It has been posted that he did purchase a more powerful and heavier motorcycle. You then post that you should ride within your skill; I posted that unless he had a mechanical problem he doesn't have any skill. There isn't much to learn by viewing this video other...

I know it's not nice to make fun of another rider's misfortune, but what is wrong with that guy? Did he have a mechanical problem which prevented him from leaning (turning) or does he have a mental defect?

Yeah he states in the comments: "...do you know how many collisions happen in Texas every day? Doesn't matter to me how many others have collisions. Things worked out pretty well for the rider, but I would have filed a report. Since the rider had video evidence, the van driver may be charged...

It's not a "bad idea" to have one installed, but it doesn't always help. I have had a few people cut me off last year regardless of the use of the air horn. I knew that they heard it but chose to act anyway from the change in their body language (tensed up).

Last night at about 2:00 am exiting Highway 400 at Langstaff road; ahead of me there was a Mercedes SUV (about 200 m). They signal their intent to turn left, slow and enter the left turn lane. I expect them to come to a stop as the traffic light is red. They slow to a near stop, then turn...

I have owned the SMH10 for 5 years and have few complaints so far. Was thinking about upgrading but definitely don't like the price. Bought a dual set at Americade (5 years ago) for $200 US no tax. Can't justify the upgrade with all of the problems have been reading and the huge price.

Re: Big *** ticket There isn't anything wrong with my attitude: I know the difference between right and wrong! I was riding my motorcycle one evening going home; I arrived at an intersection where a car driver turned left across my path. I had to save my own life as they did't do anything to...

Re: Big *** ticket You seem to not be understand the concept of benefit to you. If you know that you are guilty and that you have little chance of winning your case on a technicality, then why not accept the lowered charge? Why cost our society additional costs? If you are not guilty or if...

Glad to hear that you are well physically. Not to dump on you but you should have stopped them and gotten the information for two reasons. With the adrenaline flowing thru you it is difficult to know if you are injured. What if you had been injured, who would pay for the treatment? Secondly...

So what are you saying? Are you for or against this self-centered selfish attitude?
