Ha! And that is why I avoid the Romper Room. I turn into a belligerent teenager in about 2 posts flat.

It is more common for men to get 50% nowadays, though it requires a deep pocket book and an iron will. It would help if the 40% rule were abolished. A primer for those who haven't stared this in the face: If the access split with 2 kids is 50/50 each party's income is included in the child...

1. If you want to prioritize money over all else then go ahead. Don't snot on my shoulder because you chose IT and don't like it. Act, man, stop whining. 2. Where did I mention feelings? Go on, show me. Or have you put your stubborn biases ahead of the facts? My arguments were in fact...

It follows then that men dying on the job is also a job issue. So you agree that the pictogram is specious at best.

So far the rebuttal to the wage gap is a juvenile and illogical pictogram* and a link to a subscriber only site. The WSJ article I am interested in so if anyone can post a link that works that would be great. *I'm sure Roasted know this. For example, what does dying at work have to do with...

It starts at driver ed: my instructor told a class (of mostly females) that men were better drivers. He saw no inconsistency with that and the fact that men get in more accidents. Perhaps their mythical inadequate driving skills justifies the 26% wage gap that women suffer.

I am 45, on an M2 (with only a G2). No tickets. This, the third year with Rider's Choice, I was quoted about $1,300 for my 2014 CB500XA (exact same engine). TD MM took it at $730 for full coverage with a $500 deductible. We also have a car and property with TDMM. As dramatic as 'naked sport'...

That is truly macabre.

"$175.00 per day (or any part thereof)" "3 day rental or more=$150 per day" "Motorcycles mileage is restricted to 300km per day. Any amounts over that will be charged at .20 cents per km." So traveling 1500kms in three days costs $570 (plus 15% NS HST for a total of $656?). Why is...

Re: Spinal protection/injuries I am in full agreement with CB's post. But I would wager that rather than a 'higher being' CB Rider has actually depended on professional training and practise, constant attention and planning, proper lane positioning, smooth operation of the controls, book and...

Re: Spinal protection/injuries This is getting out of hand--can the OP just agree to wear proper gear already?

Re: Spinal protection/injuries I know it's glib but don't be there in the first place. -have you practised your emergency stops? -is the bike in top condition, especially tires and brake pads? -is your indicator off because you remembered to turn it off at the last intersection? -are you...

Thank you. Yes, it's up to us. 99 times out of 100 there is something we did, or failed to do, that allowed the accident to happen. I appreciate the public awareness bit. Hopefully it will be repeated over the season with less alarming statistics.

I'm not sure your comment is relevant to this accident, or appropriate. GWS rider.

Once you eliminate alcohol, lack of training, excessive speed, and insufficient gear riding gets pretty safe. Not bullet-proof, but far from the hackneyed "33 times more dangerous than driving a car". I always feel a little twinge when heading out but I know it will go quickly and that it will...

Nice. 3:08 "You have no idea what's going on around you ma'm".

Fist riding season mistake: turning at high speed. Are you on a racetrack?

Refused admission to a sports arena with my full-face helmet (while in head to toe gear): "Sir, you're going to have to put that helmet in your car."

I used RTI for M1 exit. The following year I paid for a group instructional ride with them as a spring refresher. Two excellent experiences and all the instructors were very clear, knowledgeable, and welcoming of questions. I have also heard many positive things about Learning Curves so I...
