    How do you feel about the decline of petrol vehicles?

    Hydro One is thinking outside the box--where the telecom and insurance industry cartels are. It's just going to take time to flop over the edges while our Governments make soothing noises.

    This is why back protectors are worn

    From r/motorcycles (Suomis_): According to my (Finnish) source, Bou broke three vertabrae (L2, L3, L4), but it isn't considered too bad. He must not ride for atleast three weeks. Toni Bou has been the best trials rider in the world for 11 years. Here is a clip of him I cut from a full...

    Trudeau Motorcycle escort hit by Left Turner

    I thought Turner was a Liberal, not NDP.

    Rise of the machines...RoboTraffic Cop

    How will AI enforce traffic law against equally automated passenger cars and commercial vehicles? Isn't the whole point of automation is that no mistakes are made? It's not even a patent yet, much less functional, so Elon's children will have taken over long before the idea matures. Unless...

    biker shoots cager

    Let's be happy they're not. I rather not take a stray bullet because some turkey's flabby libido started a firefight.

    Cool ride for Australia

    Same reason anyone gets rid of a bike? To try something new, I guess. Interesting enough exercise by Honda, even if those engine castings look perilously close to the ground.

    Do motorcycles have a future in a world of automated cars?

    The future is nearly here in that respect already! Letting motorcycles share the road with SDVs and causing huge headaches in return for minimal licensing fees isn't that different than the situation now. In fact, right now is worse and I haven't heard serious calls for banning motorcycles.

    Does Canada matter ?

    We are drawers of water and hewers of wood... First for the British... Then the Americans... Now the Chinese... In the future, maybe the Super-Beetle overlords (if I remember my Lovecraft correctly). Let's be grateful that we're too useful and too cold to bother invading. Also, an okay...

    harley news

    If they can bring this to market with a few tweaks, I'd say HD has a solid product on their hands. I think it looks cooler than most of the electric motorcycles available at the moment. Maybe a slightly longer subframe for luggage? A taller frame for longer legs would be good too. The price is...

    Hmmm....something looks fishy to me about this

    I know of one model of bike where the tail section plastics varied between blue or silver depending on the year. The rest of the paint job was consistent though. This could be the case here, with the stickers removed by the previous owner.

    Any advancements in cellphone mounts?

    Never used one myself, but Amazon offers a special tether for use on motorcycles (with the X-Grip): https://www.amazon.com/Mount-Tether-Small-X-Grip-Cradle/dp/B017STCELI

    How do you feel about the decline of petrol vehicles?

    It's almost as if predicting future events based on limited current information (heh) isn't reliable.

    Breaking Ties With My Family To Obtain A Motorcycle.

    Sheesh, why make it so complicated, OP? Just move out as you planned to do anyway and don't mention the bike. Get a car first though--a decent beater will do fine. We all love riding but recognize the limitations of motorcycles in daily life. Then get your bike. Don't ride it home or splash it...

    recommendation for a BIKE to ride around town

    Royal York Road, south of Evans/QEW. Old School Italian bakery/lunch counter. Expanded and modernized in 2015 (?). I think the kids of the original owner decided to keep going, instead of becoming app developers. God bless them if true. Pricing decent, though the reno bumped them up a bit. The...

    recommendation for a BIKE to ride around town

    I think you underestimate just how many apple fritters I have consumed in the last decade. Not that Tim Horton's junk, we're talking the real deal from San Remo Bakery. However, as a real motorcycle I agree the TW200 should get at least one nod, possibly two. Love those vintage Hondas. The...

    recommendation for a BIKE to ride around town

    I thought it was duel sport? Don't get a scooter, OP. They are not cool. The forks on that tw200 look ready to snap at the first pothole.

    How do you feel about the decline of petrol vehicles?

    I think that tickets to The Roller Coaster Of The Future are still overpriced even if they replace the oil spill at the end with a lithium tailings pond.

    ABS promotion or ABS deception?

    Since ABS braking systems are now nearly universal due to government mandate, is any promoting or deceiving really going on? Don't we all want to feel good for paying extra for extra gizmos? I do. The average motorist just mashes pedals or levers and then logs in to argue about buzzwords. That's...

    Who's still riding? (Fall 2017 / Winter 2018 edition)

    Sheesh, -18C now with a windchill of -27C in the big smoke? My car's rear view mirror was partially covered in *frost*. The LCD parts of the instrument panel flickered. Clutch and stick were stiff too. Almost warmed up by the time I pulled into work. Low of -25C tonight pushed down to -36C...
