My girlfriend got a couple of tickets the other day. One for speeding, the other for failure to produce a valid insurance slip. I can deal with the speeding. From what I have read on this site, it's not a slam dunk to fight the insurance slip but I at least want to try going to first...

I fought and won my last speeding ticket by asking the officer during a break in proceedings as to whether he tested his equipment before and after his shift. He indicated that he didn't test after his shift. That's when I looked at him and said that I'm ready to go to trial. At this point...

I love the BMW Summer Pants. I actually have two pairs and never wear the black ones. They are an XL which fits about a 36-37 inch waist. I'd let them go for $125 if the OP or anyone else is interested. They truly are great pants with proper protection and you can convert them to shorts.

For Canadian Roads - the 401 and QEW to get to the US. I find no joy riding in this province/country as I prefer an elevated pace that would land me in jail in this country.

Just reading through the posts with many asking for directions to various roads in the US. I use the website www.motorcycleroads.us when planning my trips. I look for mainly twisty roads and generally end up in West Virginia. The beauty of the site is that it lists routes according to design...

I ride as little as possible in Ontario precisely because of the police state we live in. Today I was riding on I-79 in Pennsylvania at 150 in a 100 zone. I was keeping up with a white Crown Victoria that suddenly slowed down and yes it was the police. Did he pull me over - no. I'd be in...

The "Beer Tray" as they call it, the plastic section behind the seat that holds the taillight gets cut off by many riders for apparent styling reasons so that the seat becomes the new rear to the bike. There is a section of frame behind the seat that holds the beer tray so, when you remove the...

A Specialized fixed gear bicycle. I gave up riding a couple of years ago. Too many police, too many straight roads, just got bored riding in Ontario. I did most of my riding in the States but hated the long rides to get to proper roads. I kept enough gear to take on a trip if I wanted to...

I owned an '07 and loved it, one of my most favourite bikes and I've owned many. I used it for sport touring and rode it on a long weekend trip to Montreal down to Portsmouth New Hampshire, back through the mountains and Vermont and back home along the 401. I never felt there wasn't enough...

I owned two Blackbirds, one K1200S and two K1200Rs so I might be able to provide some insight. I loved all of them. I actually traded my K1200S for my last Blackbird for economic reasons and didn't feel a huge change between the two bikes, i.e. that going "down" to the Blackbird was what I...

I didn't request the calibration data prior to going to court. When the judge broke for recess before he heard the cases for trial, I took the officer to the side and asked him if he had tested his equipment prior to and after his shift. He said he had before his shift but not after. I looked...

Cool story bro. Sorry, no one else picked that up from the start of your post.

A friend of mine received a speeding ticket in Mississauga. I have also asked her to get the disclosure from the court so she can defend her case. One other thing I asked her to check was whether the officer tested his radar equipment before and after his shift that day. She mentioned she was...

I've had two K1200R's and one K1200S, yes I do like them. They are great sport touring bikes. I took my K1200S on a week's trip to West Virginia and Ohio a few years ago and just rode twisty roads, I had the week of my life. Great ride on the highway while you ride to the right roads and then...

I have the Shift Torque Jeans and found them very comfortable compared to textile or leather. I'm leaving the bike scene and am happy to sell them. Barely used, asking $50, size 36 if anyone is interested.

I'm looking at this tail section on Ebay...
