    What is a good GPS for a bike.

    You could get by with an old, used, GPSmap by Garmin. It's a handheld unit but paired with a bicycle mount or thrown in the tank bag with the screen showing it'll do the trick. Make sure it's a color model and you can setup previous tracks as routes on the computer and assign them a color code...

    Collections Calls, But They Have The Wrong Number......

    In contrast to previous reply, I would want to be 100% sure that they have the wrong person, then call their listen number and tell them they have the wrong phone number on file X. I don't see why the caller can't give partial data on who they are looking for, say the last 3 digits of the...

    Very important information m1 exit road test! How to pass & not fail! (mto)

    D) Instructors have day jobs, they aren't in it for the money. E) There is no luck but that which we make for ourselves. Good instruction can greatly increase our abilities to increase our 'luck' and avoid crashes. F) Instructors have crashed, they will tell you about them so you can learn from...

    Service before winter or after winter?

    I agree that it sounds like a waste. I bet it just says that because it recommends overfilling and draining back to the correct amount would be a mess. If you go that route you don't run it after filling so there is little if any point to changing the filter before storage. Sounds like a longer...

    Carless Ticked Mailed To Me?

    Re: Careless Ticket Mailed To Me? I've been handed a ticket that never got entered, but that was a few years ago and much more minor. A careless ticket is less likely to suffer that fate unless that was the original plan. The other reason the officer may have decided to mail it is the fact...

    Bike Stands

    You have to see something to know what you're talking about, you have to bounce on 'bendy' stands to adjust them, so 'super-flexy' is way off. I'd be happy to show you one in action.

    Fall arrest certificate / training

    There is certainly more to it than that, having the wrong equipment and not knowing if you are using it right can be much worse than not having it. The people who don't think they need any training probably do, those who truly don't could probably get the main points from youtube and a few...

    Raise your rear off the seat a few inches and twist it like you're farting.

    Rider down at Queensway and Smithfield, Etobicoke

    I was just diverted around the scene in Etobicoke, only one unmarked cruiser at the time, fire and ambulance seen headed to the scene along with another marked cruiser. Looked like another left-turn gone wrong as there was a black bike lying down beside a passenger door and another white bike...

    Riders choice oil change gone wrong.

    The scenario is thus; While changing the oil, while draining the oil and loosening the filter, something slips and hits the fairing hard enough to crack it. Given the angle and the fact that a tool or hand would be going in that direction for the task of getting the filter from stuck to...

    watch out if you are following a convertible!!!

    I'm unconvinced that honking and yelling will get anything through to anyone. I simply pretend to throw it back into their back-seat while I speed by.

    Cancelling Insurance on Sold Bike

    Being exempt from cancellation fees is only part of the problem, starting a policy now means the first months payment will be a fraction of the actual amount of coverage used which would still have to be paid eventually. Switching the policy to a cheaper bike only spreads the extra over the rest...

    Parking longer than 3 hours

    I was told that they are only triggered by complaints, and that they cannot be cancelled, though they do seem to mysteriously disappear if you file to fight them and something is wrong, like the year on the sticker. My complaint is that the city website says the restriction exists "where no...

    4 stupid tickets at once

    Actually, that's cherry picking. Profiling is when they do a 'random' stop for insurance and attitude checks but throughout the day it seems their 'random' seems to be all red or yellow sporty machines. I'm trying to imagine what that trial would be like though, sounds amusing. On topic, it's...
