    WORST CHRISTMAS PRESENT - What was it?

    I was in a picked name pool with my Ex's family. The limit was $60. I had my sister in law and she had me. I bought her something at the One of a Kind Craft Show for $70. When I opened the one from her, it was one of those Bathroom Reader books and a baseball cap with her farm motif on it. He...

    GM2 at a ride check... SURPRISE!

    Not sure what you mean? That the RIDE program is a bad thing? Yes, it can be a bit of a PITA, but what is the alternative? Lots of people drive to the liquor store loaded, so it's a place you can expect it to possibly be set up. I believe an MP has the same powers as any Police Officer when he...

    NYE in Montreal - ideas?

    If you're there for a couple of days, there is a Marriot in the Old Port walking distance to galleries, etc. More lively area to eat is La Rue St Denis. There's a good Mexican place there. I forget the name. If you want a taste of more gritty Montreal, stop by Fremont Bakery and Schwartz's...

    question for the ski and snowbord ppl

    I take a annual trip to Big White, BC every year. It has a sister resort in Vernon, BC named Silverstar which is nice too and not quite as busy. Do that a bit and you'll be spoiled forever there are runs for all levels and you never wait more than 5 min for a lift. I hear Revelstoke is amazing...

    Bachelor/Bachleorette Parties- HOW FAR IS TOO FAR???

    Always been curious why "one last one" was acceptable. What message would be sent to your Partner? That one more is needed before you have to endure them?! Personally, if my prospective Partner was that immature, they wouldn't be the one for me. Having a few drinks, strippers, etc big deal but...

    M1 exit..(M2)

    The debate will always go on about whether or not to take the course to get your M2 or just go to the Ministry. Let me ask you this: do you think the Ministry Tester is going to critique your form, offer you tips, and recount stories you might learn from? Are their going to be multiple testers...

    would it be disrespectful??

    I must admit that when I was deciding whether or not to even pursue this sport, I did refer to the fallen rider section as a means to help make the decision. The stories were very sad, and yet there was always something to be gained from reading each one. Some of the things that those riders did...

    Thank you Witnesses!!!

    Sorry to hear that. Such a hassle but at least you know the pr*ck who damaged your bike will pay one way or another. Witnesses are great because they are bulletproof for your case because they have nothing to gain. I had good witnesses in a case and it made all the difference. If I saw something...

    Your "Macgyver" moment.With your own definition.

    Vise grips are the best. It's all I had during a bear attack. He held still long enough for me to pinch his paw with them until he cried Uncle and ran off. OK, that's not true...but it could be. They are so handy!!

    Your "Macgyver" moment.With your own definition.

    When I go on the road, I like to pack a small assortment of "essentials". One time when I was in the States, my front signal had severed off the post and was hanging by the wires. I used stove wire I brought and made a zigzag pattern out of it and wrapped around the parts to reinforce the...

    Help - anyone -Brampton exit test?

    Your Tester will ask you before you start if your bike is equipped with Hazard lights. If it is, you should know where they are and how to use them. At some point during the test, you will be instructed to pull over and conduct an emergency stop. Look behind you in your rearview, signal, and...

    Can someone explain this insanity?

    Drove from Longlac to Toronto yesterday down Highway 11. Tons of bikes out near New Liskeard mostly riding in groups. At least 4 or 5 instances where the lead guy would not just hug the dividing line, but be well over it into the oncoming lane like he was playing chicken with oncoming traffic...

    Do bike mounted cameras really pacify aggressive drivers?

    Yes that is what I meant. I doubt very much that I would be fined for a small LED light, and if I was, I would be more than happy to attend a court date on that one to show the Judge what an Officer considered my violation TekNinja81 makes a good point. I'd hate to be rear ended coming to a...

    Do bike mounted cameras really pacify aggressive drivers?

    For those of you that have ridden without one, and then installed one: Is there really any noticeable difference? Occasionally I run in to some nut and being a cheapskate, it might be fun to make a mock one with a flashing red light and have it pointed behind me. Might be fun to see the...
