You guys are sure difficult to comprehend. If a cop does not like the way somebody is driving, the cop can stop that driver and issue a charge for careless driving, for example. That charge is an allegation, and its issuance alone, absent evidence of impairment for example, does not permit the...

Well, he said it was 250 kilometers round trip. Allowing 20 minutes for loading and unloading, you leave 40 minutes for travel. Let's see ... that is 375 kilometers per hour, average speed. Allowing for traffic, I think you better expect to reach about 500 kph top speed. If Home Depot rents...

One fine day in August, I was riding through North Georgia on US-1. That highway goes through towns, open countryside, cities, and more countryside, so the speed limit varies all over the place, from 25 MPH to 65 MPH. I was enjoying the ride, and concentrating on my destination, which was a...

The report says "Suzuki has kept weight down by emphasizing aluminum parts in the chassis." Then we see two mufflers for the 250 cc engine. If a 650 cc V-Strom goes fine with one muffler, then why put two of them on a mere 250? It seems that, as too often happens, looks were the primary...

Tom is a fine rider, and a good example to us all. I feel privileged when I can ride with him, and amazed when I can keep him in sight after three curves. If, perchance, I manage to ride with him again in the spring, I will bring him a genuine Florida orange as a tribute. He can slow down and...

Here is the conclusion of Regina v. Hayes, 2003: [43] I would allow the appeal, set aside the conviction, and enter an acquittal. "R. Roy McMurtry C.J.O." "I agree. K. M. Weiler J.A." "I agree. John I. Laskin J.A." RELEASED: July 10, 2003 "RRM" I found the above at the web site of...

I think that Rob and Charles are incorrect. Here is my reference: http://www.vex.net/~occ/page.py?page_id:11 Here is what I find there: Helmet Law in Ontario Here are the points of the ruling brought down by the Ontario Supreme Court in the Wayne Hayes helmet case. Again congratulations to...

HA! I remember when a cop wrote down the wrong identification of a bylaw. At least, I think that is what happened. Here is how it turned out. There are many many ways to win a case, because the prosecution has to make many things happen at once. If one link of the case falls apart, the...

How about this, then: LEO: The outside of your helmet doesn't say DOT. Show me the inside. Rider: Show me the search warrant first. Then I'll take off the helmet. And then the rider simply needs to wait for the idiot LEO to subside. This is a good time to record the LEO's actions and words.

OK, then here is another idea for you. In Saskatchewan, which is still a tad beyond the edge of Greater Toronto, the maximum speed anywhere in a construction zone is 60 KPH or the normal speed limit, whichever is less, unless a specific sign states a limit which is even lower.

I suggest a pair of 100% WOOL sweaters. You can get very fine sweaters at Goodwill or Value Village etc. You may find better looking sweaters, but I have ridden many many miles wearing wool in comfort, and almost as many wearing acrylic or cotton or other fabrics while shivering and...

Your actions may be sober and wise, but please do not count on others to obey signs in a mall. In the first place, signs on private property do not have the force of law. Not if the owner wants them to, and not even if the owner hires police to hassle those who disobey them. Yes the cops can...

If you are on a two- or three-lane road in creepy-crawly traffic, approaching a pedestrian crosswalk, you will naturally pass traffic in adjacent lanes and be passed by vehicles in other lanes. When I do this, and eventually reach the crosswalk, I make an unmistakable full stop with both feet...

How about that! After all this effort, I have misunderstood the central issue. This thread is all about how to jump through hoops and pay extra fees. Silly me. I thought somebody wanted to make a trailer and use it. Instead, he apparently wishes to stand in lines at various red-tape offices...

I surely enjoy my CBR-125R, and it's no problem to ride it inter-city. In June I rode it from GTA to Barrie then over to Owen Sound and along the Huron shore to Goderich, all in one fine day. The next day I visited several towns in Western Ontario and rode back to Toronto. In July, I rode it to...

You can try www.ridesafely.com You have to wade through a lot of wreckage, but who knows?

How about a few bright white LEDs aimed backwards, set to turn on if the bike is in neutral and the brake is on? Lots of stupid drivers can ignore a bushel of red lights, but a white light might wake up the idiot on the phone. If you are thinking of telling me this is illegal, please cite the...

Welcome to the forum, George. A young fella like you can have plenty of fun on a fine bike like that one. When I was just a dozen years older than you are now, I found out how much I like long distance riding, and now I do plenty of that. It's a tad late in the year for long rides in Ontario so...

It is surprising how important spelling and grammar are. There is so much to read nowadays that I skip right over text that is not capitalized properly. If the author, who supposedly cares the most about the ideas, will not take the trouble to make the text neat and easy to read, why should I...
