Nice, I love this quote

what Jaymurr said is spot on. It is very healthy to have separate hobbies. It brings additional topics of conversation into the relationship. My wife also does not ride and has no desire to get on mine even as a passenger but she encouraged me all the way to take the course and get a bike...

so what was the problem?

congrats on the bike, and I thought you were a troll, but you need to post up pics. On two of your posts you have mentioned manly....riding a bike is not manly, it doesn't make you manly. Manly is what kind of person you are, the decisions you make regardless of what your peers think. Manly...

How many years of experience riding do you have and what insurance company are you with? please do tell. I pay double what you do, first year riding and over 40. Thanks.

My condolences to his family and friends.

I've been commuting for the last three weeks. I put on proper gear for the weather and go. I'm just happy to be out on the bike.

I did mine at Centennial college, Ashtonbee campus. Learned a lot from these guys, I had never been on a bike before. Unlike some of the other schools, this one does offer 3 types of bikes but you need to choose one from day one and you stay on it for the duration. It's a great learning...

it is for me also. I spend time before every ride adjusting the angle of the stock mirrors. I find I need to shift my body slightly when riding to get a better view of the traffic behind me. The best cure I find is to be aware of the movement of the vehicles in back of me and that involves...

Good job Omnivore. i hope you scared him just a bit, hopefully a lot. Drivers need to know that little stunts like that when done to a motorcycle can have serious repercussions for the rider.

Glad you're ok. Was there a car behind you making a left? if so, perhaps you felt rushed and panicked. Just like when driving a car, do your own thing, don't feel pressured by vehicles behind you, get your wits about you first then proceed, in a hurried manner if you wish but under control...

I do the same....In addition,as I am coming to the light, I flash my brake lights and do sway back and forth to avoid hearing the smidsy, anything to make sure the guy behind me is aware of me and my intentions to stop. As a driver is coming closer to a light that is in the process of turning...

^This, wise words....if you happen to get "cut off" several times in one ride, you will be tense, especially as a new rider. it makes a lot of sense to calm down, pull over for a time and take a breath, then continue. Or else, take a different route, perhaps the route you're on is more heavily...

These look like stainless steel washers. Are these of a special material or can simple washers be used?

Yes, because packaging is the most important part of the entire deal :lmao: I bought this one to try out facing the rear. got it at factory direct for $60. Of course you get what you pay for, the picture quality is not the best but it is sufficient to see what occurred in the event you get...

Have commuted to work for the past three weeks. Don't know about this Friday though, 20mm expected.

Saw a female rider, faint pink leather jacket and black bike i believe going north on Birchmount towards Lawrence

Hey crackerjack, I started riding last yr at 47. I am on a small Ninja 250 and this past week was the fist time I went on the highway during light rush hour traffic. The 250 is not a heavy bike and this week it has been somewhat windy, especially so at 120. I read some of the suggestions in...

condolences to the families involved especially the rider's.

I believe at the MTO you can ask for your driving prospectus.
