    Visor cam Toronto Indy - Bike or Car ?

    Well there weren't any water stations on Fri when I was there. I even asked one of the emergency personell if they knew where they were, and THEY didn't know ! Guess the "free folks" don't rate :/

    Visor cam Toronto Indy - Bike or Car ?

    +1E64 ! Outside food and drink - NOT EVEN WATER ! Just like the PGA (golf) tour events. And I think they got rid of the ~two water stations they had a couple of years ago. I went on Fri, ended up refilling my water bottle with warm-restroom-sink water !

    Visor cam Toronto Indy - Bike or Car ?

    Yabut it's only $50 for a two-day ! (I did that a few years ago). But there are only about 3 or 4 corners that you get a view of. Half the track is behind buildings. Really a crappy track for spectators. And not that great for drivers / cars either. I guess *someone* is making money from...

    Almost looks like he's riding a bike, the amount his head tilts in the corners ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJHyBq_lz9o

    My M2 and M Experience

    "I would say this was the most physically demanding part of the course. Basically, you will sit on the bike and your buddy will push you on the parking lot, and vice versa. This is to learn how to balance the bike." Is every course doing this ? ("Top Secret Course Curriculum's" :/) Seems...

    Quitting for 5 years, anyone do this before?

    -1,000,000 A waste of money. An ancient tradition, no civilized people should be practicing any longer. Shiny or pretty as they may be, they are just rocks. Spend it on something useful, or fun. Also research the diamond industry and see how scummy it is.

    It sounds like she's a real "princess", of course your choice :/ Sounds like all that adds up to more than an occasional track day. >down to earth, low key, has zero interest in useless brand name ****, If she is so "down to earth .. useless interest in brand name ", she'd be encouraging you...

    Fore!

    The traditional warning for an errant golf shot is to yell "Fore!", (apparently you knew that from the thread title :D) Maybe you just didn't hear them ? :D Where were your riding ? Albion road / Elmhurst (Humber Valley hole #2) is quite a common "target". I launched one (inadvertently)...

    How should i pick up the bike i am buying?

    Do you have a "conditional M2" ? I.e. you passed a M1-exit course, but you're M2 is not valid yet ? If so, just ride it home on < 80 km/h roads (after you transfer the ownership, get a license plate). More fun than the boring straight highway anyway. If you don't have the "cond M2", then...

    Guy shares lesson of his high speed t-bone crash

    Love this comment on utube : Also, calling someone doing a high-speed wheelie down a inner city street in rush hour A MISTAKE is tantamount to calling open heart surgery mildly inconvenient. lol

    What's a good first car?

    $20k car, condo. Nothing but the best eh ? How about a ~$7-9K used car, and a basement apartment ? :\

    failed my m1 exit test. how to rebuild confidence?

    If you grab the brake, ya, but moderate use is no problem. BTDT for both ;) Being told not to use the front brake ever at "low speed" is bad advice IMO.

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    Why is $3500 for a 32 year old bike, a "killer price" ? I guess as a "collector's item" maybe, but as a useful bike to actually ride ? With only 9863 km over 32 years, obviously it's (almost) "never" ridden. Isn't lack of use as bad or worse than "over-use" ?

    M2 Exit Test Attempts

    Control is one thing. Ludicrous tolerances is another. Missing the "mark" by 2-3 feet, un-acceptable. Missing "by inches" ... moronic.

    M2 Exit Test Attempts

    This is still on the MTO handbook site, is it current information ? : http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/handbook/motorcycles/section8-2-0.shtml

    60 day wait makes no sense (when taking an M1 course)

    It only makes sense overall if you can afford the (4x ?) higher insurance (if you can get insurance at all) for an M1, and actually ride for the 60 days. Being allowed to ride immediately on public streets with only an M1, (no training course) is another question in itself.
