Re: Chick on green Ninja or whatever on DVP just now Given that two bikes have already been taken out on the HOV keeping the relative speed down might be a good idea, no? She respected others by moving over to allow faster vehicles to pass. Not clear what the Don Mills problem was either. She...

The person who took the picture is Shawn Micallef, a Toronto writer who edits Spacing and writes every Friday in the Star. I hope his testimony and access to public channels will be good for the integrity of the investigation. He also wrote: "OPP cruiser was in right lane. U-turned in front of...

Precisely.

You can freely write facts, not assumptions or opinions. If you stand by what you wrote repost it here, with a copy of their letter. Dealers operate with written contracts. It should be clear if they have beached the agreement in which case court is your forum, not dealerrater.

Re: Big *** ticket Thank you--very useful. The clerk didn't say it would be the officer amending up, that was just my assumption. The ticket has a code ("L" I think) and the actual speed written under it so all is transparent to the crown.

Re: Big *** ticket Alright--I was wrong. Dealt with in 5 minutes. Spoke to an eloquent and knowledgeable person who said that choosing option 3 would "probably" result in the ticket being amended up prior to the court date. That is: I choose to go to trial, I get the disclosure which is...

Re: Big *** ticket Wow-the lawyers who drafted the legislation are going to answer the phone? I assumed I would wait half an hour on hold to speak to some underpaid junior clerk with inadequate training. That's more or less how it is every time I call the courts personally or professionally...

Re: Big *** ticket I can try that, but I suspect the responses here will be both quicker and more reliable.

Re: Big *** ticket I am sure this is dealt with elsewhere but I searched without success and I find myself in the unfortunate position of needing to know the answer: If, say, a rider is over the speed limit and a (very understanding and pleasant officer) reduces the ticket from a four-pointer...

Thanks, Walmart can do it and my local is open till 11. They carry: Mobil 1 MX 4T Motorcycle Oil 10W-40 1L Castrol Grand Prix Motorcycle Oil 10W40 Algonquin ride saved.

Anyone know where I can get oil after 9pm on a Friday? Just needs to get me through the next 2000kms so any equivalent to the 10w40 Honda GN4. Would Canadian Tire have such a thing?

So much to respond to. > The TU250 is a great beginner's bike, good choice. But only if the clutch cable is adjusted properly! > What you experienced is normal: shifting is not at all intuitive. It takes a very long time for it to be automatic and smooth. Say, 10,000 Kms? > Why are you...

True--here's an example, sponsored by the UK Gov't, testing only for safety, not comfort or noise. As a result I wear Bell. http://sharp.direct.gov.uk/ Edit: I've never been on track. Are helmet considerations different from helmets for the street? Perhaps noise reduction is worth a couple of...

Went today to Smart Adventures and it was superb. My ten-year old daughter also loved it. I will definitely buy a dirt bike. They don't rent: you must be guided. The trails they use are private and empty.

I'm hoping Smart Adventures is good because I'm with them tomorrow for four hours on a TTR230. Bit further than Trail Tours. They have a good reputation.

The latest Motorcycle Consumer News compared the R3, KTM390, CBR300 and the Ninja 300. R3 a clear winner for them and my, does it sound like a good bike.

Be fair MLadin, it's quite the opposite. This thread has so much traction because we are all genuinely concerned about motorcycle safety and do not want a repeat of this needless tragedy. And I will grant you that yes, laws and police may be a factor. Also manufacturers and their marketing, lax...

You have provided an excellent example of what I was talking about. The response of NY to the beating incident? More legislation to regulate motorcycle rallies.

When I questioned your admiration for "bikers" your response was to ask if I am on drugs. You then show a video of a small army of what you call "bikers" pursuing and beating a man in front of his family. Perhaps I misunderstood your fawning tone and your definition above was meant to convey how...

Yes, an activity where a small group of enthusiasts ignorant of the history, craft, or rules of the sport turned it into a venue for their own dangerous, thrill-seeking antics which led to serious injury and death and resulted in greater police scrutiny for all, much stricter laws and...
