    Arrghhh!! got my 1st speeding ticket

    Not necessarily true. The Motor Vehicle Abstracts cost the insurers $$. It's cost prohibitive for most standard lines (not high risk) companies to pull them on EVERY active policy driver. Usually if the current one they have is less than 3-4 years old and it had 1 or less minors, then it's less...

    New Rider Training - Private Lessons

    Actually not. She's a great rider. Excellent control of the bike and we've ridden several times to Niagara Falls and once to Montreal and this is in her first full year of riding. This includes back roads, 401 and QEW. She just doesn't like large groups.

    Failure to surrender insurance card (driving without insurance).

    Land the reverse is true...make the fine less and people whose insurance is more will still drive without. Eg. Ins=$5,000 and Min Fine=$1,000 then one who is without insurance could be caught 4x per year and still come out ahead. Easy answer is drive without insurance and lose the vehicle...

    The sign above is Pay Parking Enforced at certain times. In absence of any other sign, it is not true in reverse that parking is not allowed at other times. OP take a full shot of that pole and a wider shot of the street where you were parked. The wide shot should show any other signs/poles...

    New Rider Training - Private Lessons

    I think some might be making assumptions here... My wife would also would have liked private lesson(s) to at least get the basics before the formal course. She is very shy in public and won't ask questions in a group. Also she has a pathalogical fear of standing out in a crowd (ie, stalling)...

    Failure to surrender insurance card (driving without insurance).

    There is case precedent where even with a plea agreement, the judge set aside the sentence recommendation of $2,000 fine and still gave the $5,000 fine. Judge's reason was this is set as the minimum fine as set out in the statute and it's designed to be that high to encourage owners to obtain...

    loose screw shoots out from the back of a truck

    This is usually covered under Comprehensive (or All Perils) so that deductible would apply. It's not usually counted against you in your rating so the premiums should not be affected. But too many of these 'comp' types claims (x within 3 or 5 years) could cause comprehensive deductibles to be...

    Following Up After an Interview?

    Yes. And when doing multiple interview, I've had multiple job offers. Haven't done it in years though, but now as an employer I've conducted 50+ interviews and hired 10 staff. Not one did the above. In some of the close calls, this would have tipped the hat.

    Following Up After an Interview?

    Another option to stand out from the crowd... Buy some card stationary from Staples (etc) and write a handwritten note. Use proper penmanship and grammer. Type out what you want to say and copy it rather than creating while writing. The contents should be as some of the comments above (do not...

    Doorhanger - do you read them?

    I think the results vs. comments are typical. The people who don't like will complain the loudest. But the silent majority who find it useful just don't care enough for the effort to write to support. Also, it does depend on the advertising and as someone said above, the secondary usefulness...

    Making the jump from SS to Cruiser?

    Wow, goes to show that it takes all kinds of nuts to make a mixed bag. I tested a Stryker and settled on the Vulcan. Stryker is a beautiful bike.

    Making the jump from SS to Cruiser?

    Who here has made the move from a sports touring to a cruiser?

    IMHO, Diavel is more is a Naked or Standard Bike than a true classic cruiser. One of the key differences between a Standard or Cruiser is the forward controls. Once you start moving them back to a more "standard" position you get into a Standard bike.
