Ditto! I thought the same thing.

Elijay. I hope you are ok! It's unfortunate that the bike was dropped. In my opinion, it could have happened to anyone. Despite what some people may think, it had nothing to do with you being female/new rider. Hopefully the bike can be repaired, where necessary, and everything else is just...

It was a good game. Personally, I think it would have been a lot more exciting if Italy had scored at least 2 goals. When it became clear who was going to win, game wasn't as exciting anymore. jmho

Rip. Saw this on the news earlier today :(

Congratulations, Richard! I remember that feeling all too well! I took the course August, 2009. Ride safe, continue to have fun! And, there's no need to stop practicing what you have learned.

It's all about choice, really. Unfortunately, you're thinking could really be applied to any activity or vice that a person chooses to indulge in. A few years ago, there was a debate in the lunchroom at work between a long-distance runner and a smoker. For various reasons, either one of these...

Thanks for sharing!

No problem! My panties are not "in a bunch". But, you are still missing the point by saying "parking lot practice of M2 drills is unnecessary". In life, just about every activity requires continued "practice". That is how we become more proficient.

Welcome! Ride safe and enjoy your bike. If you're comfortable and happy with your 250, keep it for as long as you want!

Well, good for you, 'mmm..'! Please, speak only for yourself. OP, yes I still practice. There's absolutely nothing wrong with continuing to practice. In fact, I do believe it is highly recommended by many, many experienced riders.

If I can, I wave to most riders. And, if a thread topic is of no interest to me, I ignore it! Some of you people should try that instead of online bullying.

If going to the Juravinski Cancer Centre on Concession, there's also parking on the brow, behind the hospital and JCC. Some 2 hour sections and further west, no signs. Also on Poplar Ave. I've seen motorcycles parked, in between cars, in these areas. The Big Bear/Bee (formerly 7-Eleven) store on...

Yes, well, not one of us starts as an experienced rider. We all were "noobs" at one point in time.

Congrats, Stephym. You'll be just fine. What you've learned really does come back to you. In fact, you should never stop learning and will always learn something new about riding. Lots of good advice and suggestions have been given here. You may want to take Johnny5 up on his/her offer. Or...

I've always found this annoying. I don't care what kind of vehicle you drive. Quite frankly, I wish parking like this was illegal and they were ticketed.

The emphasis was on the fact that the woman was pregnant. As reported by the media.

Don't get me wrong. I have a sense of humour (believe it or not). But good God, someone was killed; innocent people hurt; a pregnant woman went into labour, brought on by being "trampled". This certainly isn't a situation to jest about :(

Have a wonderful, safe trip! Look forward to reading your posts and seeing some pictures (?).
