    Legality of lighting mods?

    Thanks Jeff, I was going to completely smash this guy for asking a really really dumb and stupid question, which could have been answered without the need of a brand new post. I guess the Search function is too difficult for some to grasp...

    So I got hit! First time and need help

    You should have been clearer to the police officer that the other man was at fault and failed to make a safe turn. I would have gone so far to ask the cop "what if I broke my neck and died today" and gone that route. Call your insurance. Update them. BE 100% perfectly clear that you arrived...

    bike vs. big rig truck (accident on the 18th)

    I don't think we are getting even half of the story - the OP only has so much information to recall from - and then it is a matter of what he wants to tell us on a public forum. His disclosure will reveal a LOT to him when he reads it.

    bike vs. big rig truck (accident on the 18th)

    Like I said before... and as Rob has said again. You need to deal with the traffic charge FIRST. Please, hire some traffic court representation. You lack focus and education. A good traffic lawyer will give you both. As for trial date - did you request in writing when you attended? If...

    Deceleration wobble?

    It is caused by an instability in balance in the front end. Most likely tire or wheel related - out of balance wheel assembly, or out of round tire. Alternatively, it could be the head bearings at the tripple clamps being loose or badly worn with some free play or slop.

    What to do after a Hit n Run?

    Report to Police. Make note to point out any paint colours or identifying damage. A good police officer will follow up and contact the vehicle owner, and view the other vehicle for signs of damage and if that damage is suitable for the collision. Unfortunately, most police officers are...

    bike vs. big rig truck (accident on the 18th)

    I tried to get a grasp of this thread... god, what a mess... Ill try and read the damn thing again. edit - hard to read, there is a lot of needless information (damage to helmet(s) etc) and god, the complete lack of proper sentence structure doesn't help. OK. Here's what I grasp: You were...

    Anyone able to install a head gasket on a gsxr 600 07

    fraser, he doesn't know what tools he needs for a job as easy as a head cover gasket. Checking and adjusting valve clearances is WAAAAY above his handy-man skill level.

    can police seize your video helmet cam??

    I agree. The officer has the gun and the badge. He has the power (not necessarily authority) to arrest anyone, with cause or not. It all comes down to how far he wants to go to make something stick. As such, I am polite and responsive to police, but I pretty much refuse to answer any of...

    can police seize your video helmet cam??

    "Plain view" as all call it, is not as simple as you all think it is. My Lawyer, and the crown, both agreed in my case that closely scrutinizing each and all of the contents of my vehicle from the exterior of the car by use of a flashlight to illuminate the interior through the windows was...

    Our City And Goverment Are Stupid !!

    Unfortunately, we needed photo rader more than people thought.... in the UK, tickets are handed out so often and frequently, your insurance is not affected by a good number of ticket types, because everyone and their mom has driving infractions - all thanks to the massive amount of traffic...

    Advice on how to fight speeding ticket? Disclosure notes inside

    Hire a paralegal or lawyer for proper representation. The disclosure is incomplete. The method of speed measurement is not indicated, and the related tests for that equipment are also not noted. Disclosure 'should' also make note of HOW he identified the proper motorcycle and rider. A black...

    can police seize your video helmet cam??

    Without arresting the individual under the Criminal Code (carless driving does not count, Dangerous driving does), or with having a warrant to specifically seize the video, no police officer, regardless of any argument they make to you, can force you to hand over the video device. As for search...

    Looking for some help on a ticket

    You may not be in a position to plea bargain, the prosecutor might feel that his case is rock solid and that he can get a conviction on the full ticket. Though unlikely that they will pass on a plea bargain, I have seen prosecutors stick to their guns, and get the full ticket and a conviction...

    Parking Ticket at Richmond / York Street

    Not to mention, a parking ticket does not affect your license or insurance in any way shape or form. Imagine your motor vehicle was a car instead of a motorbike - there is no difference as far as the bylaw is concerned. Park in the appropriate place for the vehicle - motorized vs pedals

    Looking for some help on a ticket

    You currently only have half the story. File for a trial date, and request disclosure - the officers notes will tell the other side of the story. If you do not like what you see in the disclosure, justs plea guilty to the 10 over ticket, and pay your $40. If there is something critically...

    What's your biggest fear?

    1) No. I don't care to - I know Rob personally, and I know his demeanor. 2) No, more than likely you are a forum troll - given the tone of some of your posts. 3) I doubt you ride in Toronto often - given you reside quite literally several hundred of km's away. Kind of inconvenient. 4) Good...

    Could Buell be making a comeback w/20K streetbike?

    Its actually a really good brake design. Franz on his Buell, and I on my GSXR, were having late braking wars on a golo track day a few years back. That bike can brake surprising late, and effectively as well.

    There was no other reason to make the point that you did. None at all. No reason to present your observation, other than to insult. Also, Regardless of how long you have been riding etc etc etc, welcome to a forum to which you are a new member. Do try not to insult a senior member in your...
