Well?

By the way--anyone know what sort of bike the Rosedale rider was on?

Perhaps a good street rider just reduces their speed. Even if track training allows you to ride faster I'm pretty sure it doesn't give you vision sufficient to see round corners and spot road imperfections or encroaching cars. I do agree that if you can't save speed for the track you should at...

Limiting cc's I cannot find any evidence that limiting cc's has reduced accident rates. In fact, France's 100hp cap has had no effect on accidents. Still, cursory look so more research needed. Training I can write a multiple choice test and ride a 1000cc super sport? It's laughable, deranged. I...

Only that TFC are coming home with 9 points.

Possibly Total Control offered by Sharp? (Though some of their drills seem more track-oriented. Not sure how much leaning off is a street skill.)

Re: Big *** ticket Not so. The quid pro quo is take the lesser charge and don't waste any more of our time. You don't get the reduced charge and a day in court. As a taxpayer I fully agree with this approach. I don't want traffic court to use officers and resources at the expense of, say...

Two years, started late at age 43.

Re: Big *** ticket Heartfelt but wrong. The OP was going 130kmh in a 60 (almost certainly unsafe to rider and others) and was not nearly penalized to the full extent of the law (revenue reduced). Good on the cop for stopping the OP yet not crucifying. The intention was to provide a valuable...

Re: Big *** ticket My 2 cents: new rider; claims not to, or actually doesn't, know how to read his speedometer; caght doing 130 in a 60 (sic). Take the break you have been given.

From Facebook. Good on you for not having it, but sometimes it helps. Organizer: https://www.facebook.com/thececilialourenco?fref=nf Event page: Let’s roar our engines and make some noise in the downtown streets of Toronto representing in full force International Female Ride Day! Meeting...

Oh I see. I skipped the first nine pages so probably missed your points. Yes, people adjust. Christians always have the New Testament opt out to justify not stoning people. However, I think there are plenty of hardcore Christians left. And on the original topic, if I may, I am delighted that...

Do you hold this standard for people who believe in the literal truth of the Bible (that is, 3 in 10 Americans)? Based on the following prohibitions I'd be executed by now if literal Christians ruled the world: Having sex with a menstruating woman (death penalty) Eating a cheeseburger Being a...

'Confirms' is not quite the right word though, is it? 'Justifies' might be more apt. mr.walczak, who was actually in the accident, is back in the saddle.

Many thanks for this. Glad you're okay. Your posts from the time were alarming to say the least.

Yes, very pleased with my frog suit--and it's lime green so I stand out a bit more in the murk. (and thanks for the tip--foolishly I have never bothered with the hood.) It's just the occasional fog of visor and spectacles that makes riding in the rain a bit annoying at times, but otherwise...

I bought a brand new CBR250R last year and planned to keep it for a long time. It did everything from commuting to weekend trips to in Montreal, and it was completely happy on the highways. Well, I picked up my brand new CB500X last Wednesday (admittedly purchased in the doldrums of winter so it...

You are right that it's complex, but if your conclusion is that you should concentrate on damage limitation instead of crash prevention then I disagree. In the spectrum of drivers there are a lot of people between responsible and aware on one end and terminally clueless on the other. A little...

I'd start by getting a bigger bike! Then, if you don't lean into turns or know how to emergency brake you definitely need more training. Perhaps the Total Control course with Sharp? Or call various schools (RTI?) and tell them the above. They will steer you in the right direction, at the...

Because it is usually the woman who stays home with the child and is the primary caregiver. The courts understandably do not want to disrupt the child's life more than necessary. However, this thinking really only applies to young kids. I would say that form the age of 10 (at most) shared access...
