I still believe, we can make it big without hindering traffic and making life difficult for anyone Keith. Glad to kow you are in the media. We will need to reach out to them to get a lot of coverage on this issue.
:)
Awesome points, summing them up :
** A rally, with media coverage and a lot of participation should get people talking
** Making this an annual event at the start of the riding season makes most sense
** A high visibility sticker or a different insignia can spread awareness to the cause
**...
Wow.. Keith .. we will essentially be crippling traffic by slowing down and stopping. I was hoping to do something that makes more people think rather than something that will get us the wrong type of attention. And hindering traffic on the highway will not be supported by our forces either...
Everytime i ride, I am fully aware that my safety is mostly in my hands, or rather in my attitude. But take a moment to read up on the accident that claimed Liz Metcalfe this past Saturday and you will understand that there was not much she could have done to avoid it. There are numerous other...
Been reading a lot of recent threads in the 'fallen riders' section and cannot help feeling sad everytime I wore my helmet this week. Its amazing to see the outpouring of support and condolences and I feel very proud to be a part of this community. But, I cannot forget the fact that every rider...
You would actually be surprised at the results you can achieve with the wrap. It does not save you any weight, but yes if done right, the results you can achieve will be similar to a Akrapovic aftermarket body panel. Very similar actually.
Lets ask Mikey, the OP to shed some light on this. The...
Prohibitive ? Not really ..

If you buy enough and a box cutter and a titanium scalpel, I can show you how to wrap it yourself. Takes time, a keen eye and lots of patience to pull it off though !
:)
yay.. one more rider. Awesome, thanks for the offer dominicanito; for now we just need this :
* someone who has experience leading a group ride
* suggestions for a meeting spot in the east end, preferably with a gas station and coffee bar
* route suggestions for the best roads to and from...
which roads did i miss ? :( Tell me tell me ..
I am thinking of heading out to Warsaw Caves and peter-bro on Jun 11th. Any suggestions on good roads ??
hey espro
Pls correct me if i am wrong, but by 'ride' most folks go for a preset loop around the city or to the Forks or niagara. I did not get an impression that they actually stop to check out any point of interest along the way. Thats in the "Rides/Hookup" section of the forum
The touring...
So this is my first attempt at organizing a bike tour and have not done any group rides. I am surely gonna need a lot of help and suggestions. Hopefully there are more riders with the same interests who would join in.
We can ride as a small group, check out the spots, hike the trails and get...
Hmm.. naah ! he's gonna be on his own bike next season. Id rather invest in a bike rack.
I am thinking of planning a tour with a bunch of stops at points of interest / attractions / along the way, I am a newbie and Id settle for a relaxed, steady pace at (or just reasonably over ) speed limit...
Oooh La La .. a Lightbulb moment for me. Why did i not think of this as i tried finding my way back to Toronto last night. Awesome thread guys .. So question. Do you guys mount the GPS to your bike somewhere ? Rain ? Powersource ?
I usually just remember the roads I need to watch out for...
Thought i'd post a ride report of yesterday's fun ride. Had sometime in the afternoon and I went where my bike would take me on a whim, just hoping that all roads will lead back to Toronto on the way back.
Map of the route I took
Lots of awesome roads, esp. These stretches :
HWY 35 / 115 from...
Yo Yo Zang !
the Statefarm actuaries are surely out of touch with how the rest of the industry operates. try Primmum, no agents and you will have to deal with em direct, but its straight forward. Once they work a quote for you with one bike, ask them to quote for other bikes and models. They...
