LOL. epic start with 1 horsepower. This will be my 5th season.. although I am seeing my annual mileage on the bike decreasing year after year...

+1. SO true. Remember that rider who lost his life last year on Yonge street (just north of Gerrard) because of jaywalkers? Given the traffic and speed there at the site of the crash, he couldn't have possibly exceeded 50km on a straight, which to most of us is considered slow.

^^ This. Also hard to implement it just for motorcycle licenses. Do we start limiting hp/size about cars as well for new drivers? (e.g. G1 not able to buy Ferrari?) Laws should have its limitations on telling us how to live our lives. It's time for people to take more responsibilities for...

RIP rider and GWS to the passenger. The following comment is by no means passing judgement but simply sharing info: The road is not technical. Imagine a lazy-river like cruising road. However, do watch out for wildlife there, especially at night. I've encountered racoons (fat ones) at...

This already happens today when you sign up for life insurance. The monitoring is not ongoing and it is on an honour system that the policy holders will not deviate from the answers they provided on the health questionaire.

I think you are missing the point. The attitude that everyone thinks they are a good driver is wide spread, you and I included. Thinking and actually being one are two different things. I had infractions on my driving record, but I know the data I get on my app is helping me evaluate my own...

I do agree with the make money part...but the way you portrait this is biased. Let me explain. They are going to make money by only attracting and retaining customers who fit into their risk appetite. If you are presented a choice between two people, one is always hard accelerating, hard...

Sure. Reviewing the route maps with details is not different than reflecting on what you've done on a motorcycle. The route maps show locations where I'd done hard braking, hard cornering and fast acceleration. Also indicates where I was at risk (speed, time of day, etc.) I make adjustments to...

Okay.... before everyone gets too excited about UBI and whatever "myths" you've heard or felt concerned about, here are some of the facts. I must state that I do not work for Adjusto, but am a current user trying out their mobile app because a few friends got them and the gamification looks...

+1 on moding your gear. a better helmet makes a world of difference when you are doing long trips. But hey, it's your bike and your money, do what you want to your ride :)

Sometimes what appeared as "extremely minor" to the eyes can actually be moderate damage. Cars nowadays do not have bumpers that they used to 10 years ago. You think it's cosmetic, but the fender can be cracked because the cheap plastics do very little to absorb the impact. $500 sounds...

Re: Big *** ticket Really? Your focus is to get the price down? For what you've done, I'd consider the $360 a bargain. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time, or in this case, paying extra tax for making a poor decision. Milton court.... was it local cop or OPP? To be honest, you can...

Re: Big *** ticket Couldn't agree more :) The "130 in a 60" is still quite uncomforting, backroads or not.

Re: Big *** ticket +1. I don't want to come across egging on the OP but the cost of that ticket, plus whatever you will be paying for hired help to fight the ticket probably enough to pay for track days.... just saying. Rule of thumb is you always fight the ticket, and hope you learned a...

Don't know about you, but the first thing I'd do is to stay away from riding with this friend. He just brings too much heat to the group. You don't want to be "on the system"

Hello, I was forwarding my buddy info and realized Redline has been changed to Maverick (and now based out of Mississauga). Anyone willing to share experience with Maverick? I was dealing with Henry @ RedLIne before.... is he still there?

I was wondering what happened to him. I used to see him and wife riding around Yorkville area, then for a long time did not run into him at all. http://www.thestar.com/autos/2015/04/10/killer-left-turns-await-motorcycle-riders.html Factors in biker's fatalities & collisions: #1 Left-turners...

+1 on this thread. I'm currently a Scala user, and considering the Sena because it just looks so much more user friendly with the dial.

This is the key to UBI. If you are consistently (meaning daily or hourly) slamming on the brakes to avoid a dog or kid running out on the street, that could mean you are driving too fast, not paying attention, driving in a "high risk" area. In that case, yes you should be paying a higher...

You have to be selective with Paralegal services. The one that's been repeatedly reviewed and recommended by members was RedLine (they've changed names since I think). Henry was my guy, and it's not a win unless the charge(s) is dropped.
