Well stated, I appreciate the response and the willingness to have a meaningful conversation. I think I will poke around a bit more with other riders and see what they have to say. It may just be my perception/opinion rather than hard facts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am confused a bit on why some people think a education gets them a certain salary. What the education is supposed to do is open doors that allow you to earn up to a certain salary amount if you are competent. I understand that my previous advice may not have sat well, but it was fairly...

I am looking for more context. Why public land before they can actually ride? To be honest for the first few years a few acres of private property should be more than sufficient to allow them to learn the skills required to deal with other riders on the trail. They also have really nice...

I recently purchased a new car. I think all driving dynamics have been compromised for profit/fuel consumption and reliability. To be honest I don't blame them my wife thinks it drives great and is the target demographic. Still lots of awesome options for drivers but less so in the economy small...

I feel you are asking the wrong question. I would be talking about fields of work. If you chase the money you will have a difficult time. Find the area of engineering you enjoy and excel at and the money will come. You are not likely to make 80-100K out of the gate... Sent from my iPhone...

The majority of losses occur within the first few years of ownership. However there are currently some other forces at work pumping up used car values these days. For certain models at least, the most obvious is the fact that the dollar is weak compared to the US currency so exporting to the us...

I would have a look at 1-2 year old domestic vehicles; cruise, focus, etc. Generally not as reliable but they are overall cheaper to own from the 3-10 yr mark. After that we'll look out. I would go Toyota/Honda as suggested if this is a long haul purchase. A little more up front but they pay...

Thank you for the perspective. Generally feel you more than adequately addressed my concerns, except for one. Within my riding group those that were most unsure of their skills due to limited seat time took M2 exit courses, they may of satisfied the requirements to pass the test and may have...

Totally agree, however I believe the best way to change things is to lead with a good example. Good and competent driving is infectious...Hopefully... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think knowing the route was helpful for me when I tested. The issue in my opinion is not rider capability, it is that the test method requires deliberate movements of the head that are unnatural and not representative of how someone naturally rides on a daily basis. So knowing the route...

I disagree with that observation. If done correctly you could almost double the cars with zippering. What happened was someone sped up and then braked. If zippering people could merge in with just a minor speed adjustment. I think we have gone over this a lot. Make room for others without...

People are forced to bud when others think they have a place in line and won't give it up. It takes both sides to adjust their behaviour. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just providing a different perspective with some factual research, there are many studies on this, have a read and enlighten yourself. I am suggesting we use the whole road available, share the merge, make room for each other and traffic jams will be reduced. This line stuff is for theme parks...

I think this all comes down to selfish drivers. I guess my point is as with everything else there is a right way and a wrong way to do things. I believe driver training and essentially sharing the road would help. My point is that not everyone driving in the free lane is leapfrogging. Some of...

That is fine if you don't agree, studies show it works. What doesn't work is people who think this is a line. The most important statement is that we need to share the road. Blocking is not sharing and just causes people to get angry. Lining up for a exit in a single lane 2Kms down the road is...

It is O.K. And the proper use of the available roadway. We have to stop looking at this in this way. What we should be doing is sharing better so we can all get out of the traffic congestion. http://arstechnica.com/cars/2014/07/the-beauty-of-zipper-merging-or-why-you-should-drive-ruder/...

Gopher dunes has several trail loops. Decent enough but not a all day trail event. With access to the track a nice day can be had for sure. To be honest if you are insured I would imagine there insurance status would not be too big of a issue. I guess every place has to start somewhere and when...

Where did you guys get 11 acres? I see 11 kilometres and also I see mention of a future motocross track. If you can camp overnight Saturday to Sunday for 45 it isn't a bad deal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is why I don't care to leave driveways open in stop and go traffic. People think I am being mean, but I am just trying to prevent these types of accidents. Hope all those involved in that walk away. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I find this behaviour strange on populated hi ways. I get it; stunting is fun and a skill to be developed. Canada has lots of back roads a few miles out of the city perfect for this type of stuff. There is a time and place the 401 in the middle of the day is a questionable one. When this is...
