    R.I.P. Rider - Near Kendal in Clarington

    RIP rider. Made me shudder when I saw the blurb on CP24. I'm gonna start leaving my route info with a friend from now on.

    What to do in this case?

    Freudian slip?

    Is Kijiji a safe place to sell goods any longer?

    2 belts is a great idea. Remove the first for self-defense, and the second to keep your pants up. :tongue:

    Test riding the Honda VT750C Phantom (aka blacked out Shadow) - Got questions?

    Thanks again for the meet. The phantom is small enough, I think the mustang pushed me too far ahead. Bought a sheepskin from Doc's for the rest of the season until I can figure out what to do. Maybe saddlemen.

    Overnight Parking Permit

    Help me out here: you have to zip-tie a laminated card to your bike? So when you park someplace everyone will know where you park at night? At least no one can just cut off a zip-tie. :confused:

    What the heck... How do you clean protective armor?

    +1 on the 99% alcohol to kill the bacteria & air it out to get rid of the smell. Febreeze doesn't work, and even "unscented" Febreeze has a distinct smell that lingers. Dryer sheets will not kill bacteria; not sure if they absorb odor. I put them in my boots, they seem to reduce the odor and...

    Test riding the Honda VT750C Phantom (aka blacked out Shadow) - Got questions?

    The under-seat storage is completely useless. The left-side tool-storage space is also really small. I use an old magazine pouch on the handlebar. autoKsS, are you buying the Phantom or test-riding a bunch of bikes for work. If so, where do I apply? :) I wanted to get a mustang touring seat...

    Test riding the Honda VT750C Phantom (aka blacked out Shadow) - Got questions?

    I love my 2012. Small, low and mean. Not a lot in terms of acceleration or high speed, but she's surprisingly nimble at low/medium speed. Riding position is comfortable for day trips, can't wait for a new seat though. Are you joining the club, or just visiting?

    Is Kijiji a safe place to sell goods any longer?

    Lol. Tell him to send his son with the cash to the local Timmies at lunchtime.

    Planning routes

    Slow down to a comfortable speed so you can see. I slow down even if I see a driver coming to a rolling stop until I'm sure they've seen me and are going to wait (blip your horn if you need to). Not a lot of traffic out there, but if there's a car behind you tap your brake lights early so they...

    Hilarious Finds: street signs, posters, license plates, TV ads, etc.

    Is it just me or does that horse (pony?) look like he's embarrassed?

    Ride to Work

    Use a backpack or tank bag. Keep a stash of ties/shoes in your filing cabinet. Try to get away with normal-looking leather motorcycle boots hidden under your dress pants (keep a shine-sponge at work to clean them). I buy heavy dress pants from Marks Work Warehouse, they're not riding-pants...

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Montreal cyclist fined for warning others about police spot check http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/story/2013/07/11/cyclist-obstructing-police-ticket.html Since when is it illegal to encourage lawful behavior? As much as I hate idiot cyclists, instead of handing out tickets one...

    Planning routes

    +1 on the speed. It's unnerving to realize you're doing expressway speed on rural roads & cars are passing you. Go to google maps and pick a random city within your km limit, then plan the route to & from. Remember to note a couple of small towns, malls, gas stations along the way for...

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    Rider pushing green sports bike onto sidewalk at northeast corner of Yonge/St.Clair about 930pm in the rain. Thought you'd crashed. Glad I was wrong. Sorry I called you brother, it was dark and your helmet was still on :confused:
