That's good to know about the super sports.

Old. I'm just a new bike rider, but have been licensed and driven every day of my life for 25 years. Just an update, even though I'm switching all my insurance to "The Personal", I just received my renewal from TDMM for my motorcycle insurance and it was going to go up from $600 to $674. Just...

Would that be the Optimus Prime Directive?

I had been with TDMM for about a decade until recently. I kept calling them every 4 months to ask if they could lower my rate. They always said that was the best they could do. I recently got a quote (and then switched) to "The Personal". I had what I thought was a good rate for my...

I made myself a set of mirror extender plates for my Ninja 300, and made a few extra. BIG improvement to rearward visibility! They will fit any bike with mirrors mounted with M6 bolts at 47mm spacing. This includes most Ninja motorcycles, possibly others...

Another good reason to drive a car before a bike is that you get first-hand awareness of which areas around the car are hard to see a bike in. Knowing the visibility profile of cars will help you stay within view on a bike so drivers don't forget you're there.

I agree that you should get your full G license as well. Even if you aren't interested in driving a car, you will eventually want to rent a vehicle and it looks better that you have had your full G for many years. You may also be out with friends at some point and having a G license allows you...

I wrote my M1 and then enrolled in an "M1 Exit Course" from Learning Curves. The course took one weeknight plus a full weekend and they supply the bike (you need gear). On the last day, you they test you and if you pass, they give you an envelope you can take in to get your M2. It costs just...

Pedestrians should cross the street as if their life depends on it... because IT DOES!

Sorry, you're right. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_%28Canadian_law%29

Actually, the whole trial is whether he will be punished for 1st or 2nd degree murder on each of his 2 volleys of shots.

I rode to work today. First time in a week.

Someone just watched "Road" on Netflix. :) I've always liked the saying "Use your superior experience/judgement to avoid having to use your superior skills!"

Cruise control, maybe?

I've never rented a bike, but it would be a cool option when traveling. Does bike rental include a helmet?

Yes... but this could be useful for someone in the future.

Sorry... I'm only allowed to resurrect one dead thread per month. See you in December.

Planet. While I see your point... I'm new to reading this thread and was surprised that some people consider a headlight low beam because of what's written on the switch. If it is improperly aimed it could be a high beam light. Someone reading through this thread in the future, still may find...

:lmao:Sorry... I'm new here. ;)

The ones in the handlebar and mirror extender plate are so tight that they won't come loose. I used a belleville washer on the mount in the chain guard to prevent loosening. Thread lock is also good, but I didn't use any.
