Good for you two. I made it 20mins into the first ride of the season before I was pulled over by a Niagara cop for a "document check" that lasted 45mins, and included a tread depth measurement, and a litany of other threats. The highlight of ridiculousness was when he put his hand on my rear...
Until you find out...that's it's not only plausible, but true.
Toronto's traffic supercop, the guy that tops the Sunshine List every year, is writing $2.5-$2.75 MILLION in citations. Annually. One officer. And he likes bikes, because there is ALWAYS something he can quickly write up before...
That cell sting downtown Burlington was a joke, even the cops doing it treated like a joke, half a dozen idiots in hoodies running around traffic while a female officer ran around laughing with a camcorder. I got pulled & cited because I bent my head down...to light my cigar.
They called my...
This is a low hanging fruit charge, has nothing to do with whether your plate is actually visible or not and all to do with quota's. I have gotten one of those tickets...but the kicker is my plate is in the stock location. Most badge wearing traffic scumbags just assume bikes, especially...
Okay...now correct me if I'm wrong but I didn't think there were any "laws" banning straight pipes...just regulations governing obnoxious levels of noise.
So any petition legitimizing straight pipes is moot...because they already are. Though reading through your two posts it wouldn't surprise...
Cue the Halton cruiser dummy'd up to look like a taxi cab...they have a few oddball vehicles in their traffic fleet, so some bored Staff Sergeant is sitting around dreaming up these things. Bonus points for the their "undercover" sting they ran for a weekend around Burlington with some of their...
So has anybody told the OP to run away from handing money over for a tracked, salvage titled bike that isn't even imported into Ontario yet, let alone plated?
The ostrich seat is pimp though.
The "Baby On Board" sign started as a way to tell emergency workers in case of a wreck to do a double check for an infant that could have flown anywhere in the car.
Sort of useful...but like most useful things it became bastardized.
Couple of weeks ago I ran into a downtown bartender coming back to Toronto from Montreal at a 401 rest stop. On what I think was a CB450. With ape hangers. Neat bike, but not sure I would use it as my primary transportation.
Oh and his headlight wasn't working. At 10pm. On the 401.
He did...
Toronto drivers in a nutshell.
Keep a magnet zip tied to the triples...with a few old spark plugs on it. The 401 between the airport & DVP during rush hour is like Mad Max...survival of the fittest.
$4700 for a ZX-7

Sure it`s a clean one with a full exhaust...I guess the pinstripes he painted on really add value!
Well for starters, $300 round trip on the train, $60 for gas on the bike. Then you have to get around the city (not such a big deal if you are just staying downtown & Plateau). And there's several free parking area's for moto's, just watch out for the damn potholes.
I've done both, slabbing &...
The scary part is that a bike will get a bigger fine filtering in Toronto that this twat will get for rear ending a bike, running over bodily another driver, and fail to remain.
Unless you are riding right to the edge of your tire a Shinko Raven is plenty good enough on the street (and a long sight better than dual sport rubber!), and damn good in the rain. But it's your money.
Just go with PR3's and call it a day.
Hey, isn't there an unofficial 12mos statute of limitations of wadding it up like a dumb ****? :D
Was that the one where he got target fixated at the first guard rail and almost swerved right straight into it? I still sorta remember the "WTF!" look on your face as he lowsided under it.
Oh...
I don't know what is nuttier...that you are planning to move from LA to...Kitchener.
Or that you plan on filtering there. Kitchener drivers are going to head their wittle heads pop off!
The smaller the town, the more arrogant (and bored) the cops are going to be. Be sure to wear a GoPro when...
Ugh...not slab is it? I've done that trip almost half a dozen times this year.
10am is the best time to leave to get through the ******** that is Toronto weekday traffic, and the traffic INTO Montreal isn't too bad in the evening as long as you are going downtown and not Montreal Nord or up the...
