    Second chance at life (russian dash cam)

    There should be something like this from china too. Last time I was there I made a mistake telling a taxi driving I am late for the train and need to get there as quick as possible. One of the scariest ride of my life

    post bike crash?

    Driving a car hard has nothing to do with how skilled you are. U have at most 2 yrs of road experience, you can say u have been racing on the track since you are 5 and u think you are the best driver in the world. But the trace does not have sand, gravel, pot holes, pickup trucks and minivans...

    Why Do You Ride?

    Started because I wanted to be different as none of my friends have one. And I could not afford fast cars yet I like speed, tired of driving an old corolla and getting beat by moms in minivans. I was also thinking I am paying such high premiums for life insurance , might as well use it! Woke...

    first track day recommendations

    My first track day was at calabogie. Probably 10 bikes crashed on that day for the novice group. Remember to take it slow first couple of laps AFTER the parade laps. I was on my ex500 and I did the parade laps behind an instructor...(pretty much the entire first 20 min slot). However, my...

    If you could save on insurance cost would you submit to this?

    If I got this installed, it will surely jack up my rates... I highly doubt they will use a SS bike's acceleration as their baseline. My 848 is geared so high that when starting behind most cars from a red light, i need to either start later than them so i get some room, or pull in the clutch...

    Drive Right. (GTFO of the left lane.)

    Penalty for Weaving Traffic

    Not sure if this is lane splitting but I do it almost daily. When getting off work, there is a street one lane only, it's wide enough for 1.5 cars. There are usually a long line to make a left turn at the lights so it's usually a good 10 min wait. I use the .5 of the line to get up front to...

    On and off ramps practice stopped by police

    I do the lawrence ramps pretty often, however, max I'd do is 80km/hr.... which is under the speed limit of the highway. In addition, when I was doing my G2 exit test, like 10 yrs ago, I was deducted points because I was exiting the highway less than 100km/hr. I asked why and the examiner...
