Do you have the stats for highway-only fatality rates? Those ones would be the only ones relevant here. Also, over there most families have at most one vehicle whereas here it's at least two which skews the vehicle stats, and the difference between 9.2 and 9.8 isn't that much. Anyway, I'm...

You get more money by letting go of the guy doing 120 and going after the guy doing 130 and there's always one around...

Do you have it on top of something? Something about leaving the bike on the ground that can soak up water kind of worries me.

It kind of feels like we're arguing the same side but not communicating effectively. I never said it would be simple or easy or that it's in the government's interest. In fact, I've stated quite the opposite when I said it's in the government's interest NOT to increase it so they can collect...

That looks nice. A bit on the pricey side but definitely worth looking into.

If you're in the middle of nowhere going straight for hours on end what signage do you need and how many lanes do you see appearing or disappearing? If a screwed-up country like Serbia can handle it then Canada should be able to. Their limit is 120 and their roads are not nearly as good as...

Who says those are the only two options? Not to sound like a broken record but Germany is nothing like either of those. We could have the same limits that we have now in populated areas and increase it in rural areas. I still haven't heard any good argument against increasing the limits AND...

I get the whole thing about supply and demand but if that's all there is to it then every real estate development company would start building houses with a garage to increase profits. Granted, it would eventually dilute the value of a garage but businesses are usually short-sighted like that...

Thanks, that looks good. It seems that a decent shed is the way to go. I'll probably go with that option. Thanks all.

LOL, I wish. For some reason houses with a garage are considerably more expensive than the ones without one. It boggles my mind, a garage is the simplest room in the house - there is no plumbing, no hardwood floors, no heat or anything else in there. It's just a room with a cement floor, ceiling...

That's exactly it. Another case further to the point: I have a friend who used to work at Future Shop. He would tell me how once in a while a person would just walk in with a gym bag, load it up with stuff (usually external hard drives) and walk out without paying. The employees are not allowed...

I agree with everything you said but that has nothing to do with truckers and old folks needing to drive slower. So again, if other countries can do it (including the enhanced driver training and licensing) then why can't we?

Hi guys, Just wondering what people without a garage are using for winter storage. I'm close to buying a house and the way things are looking the one I will end up with will not have a garage. It will have a back yard though so I was thinking maybe something like this might suffice...

If other countries can handle it why can't we?

If speed limits were truly about safety then the government would require all new vehicles to be electronically limited to 100 and there would never be any speeders (at least not on the 400 highways) and nobody would ever get a ticket. The technology is cheap and has existed for decades so the...

Re: City council voting on getting rid of free parking for motorcycles today So when exactly are they voting on this?

Thank you for the warm welcome everyone! I have to say it's torture waiting until the spring. A few weeks ago I took the Get Your Feet Wet course with Learning Curves and now it's all I can think of!

Ok, great. Thanks.

Ok, cool. So I guess that's legit. But what does that do in terms of making it street legal? I know with cars it's illegal to tamper with the odometer so I would imagine it's the same for motorcycles, isn't it?

That's kind of weird. Don't you need to demonstrate proper signaling for the M2 test?
