So... what you're saying is, whoever has the bigger stick wins. Literally, and legally. What happens if the driver accidentally runs over a pedestrian crossing the street? Or a cyclist? Is that just "a mistake"? I understand the entire premise rests on "reckless criminality", however the...

They are all equally as crazy, in that they all equally believe in the same (imaginary) deity. It's the single common theme that propagates all this nonsense; a sincere belief in the unbelieveable, fostering further beliefs which are equally as unbelieveable.

How about the business which manages the most essential of services - Hydro One. You want (read: need, because it's not 1900) electricity, you pay premiums depending on the time of day you use it. I would say there is a difference here, which is that, despite being variable across a 24 hour...

If you haven't already been told, that's the equivalent of having no insurance. It's fraud. The moment you need to actually use it you won't be able to. You will realize that you've been paying for nothing, and then you'll pay a lot more. It's part of the reason why the rest of us are...

This is completely and entirely a knee-jerk reaction by some folks in suits, sitting at a desk and trying to determine the least difficult way to make it appear like they are interested in the safety of the participants. It's a wonderful example of "safety theatre". Look at the death of Bobby...

In one hand, we have a group who are not necessarily breaking the rules, but still being completely inconsiderate and self-serving. In the other we have an individual who is just fed up and wants to get on with his business, a damn these entitled pricks if they are going to just push him around...

That exhaust will only appear in the Euro market, to meet their standards. The NA market will see the familiar, tucked away under-body exhaust.

Lorenzo didn't appeal anything - he has no option to. Yamaha appealed the Race Direction decision to award Rossi 3 penalty points. That takes the decision up to the FIM, who then rejected the appeal. With that rejection following the appeal, the decision is confirmed, and that is that. Rossi...

Clearly you do. You are missing the most common element - the human factor. People drive the cars, not the other way around. Don't blame the badge, that's just dumb. But if you must generalize, go buy that wagon and be part of the solution.

Safe. Risk. You keep using these words. I don't think they mean what you think they mean. Risk is a measure of input over probability of success. The faster you go, the less likely you are to make it unscathed. It is not the speed alone which creates the low probability of success, however...

Edit - Not the place for it. GWS rider.

No option? It's a vote, there is always an option. Just strike it - run a nice fat line through the ballot. It invalidates the ballot, but you are still recognized as having voted. If enough people can express their disinterest by striking the ballot, that will have to be recognized.

"The women are holding a rally in uptown Waterloo on Saturday to support the desexualizing of women's bodies. Shirts will be optional." For the record, I am all for this motion. Everyone's got nips, let 'em free if you care. That being said, this is like trying to put out a flame with...

Seconded. Voters, people, need to strike ballots to make a statement. Too often people do not vote because there is no incentive to vote for anyone in particular. Officially strike the ballot to indicate dissatisfaction with all parties, that will be recognized and put on the books. A lack...

Might have something to do with the huge number of bike cops this summer, and how each pair like to ride so close as to hold hands. I know it's been discussed in another thread, but I firmly believe it is a terrible practice and promotes bad behaviour in civilian riders. As you've said, most...

Pretty much this - but keep the original review up. Pulling it down could imply an admission of guilt, or at the very least hurt your credibility. You believe what you wrote was honest and truthful, keep your original words to back that up. They don't have a leg to stand on, this is a...

Hence the lessons. Keep up. Many rider training schools which offer the M1 course also offer a single day M2X course. No test, but they give you a primer on what it will involve, and tips on what to look out for. Not a bad idea if you have some poor habits you want to shake off, or want to...

Cool, that sounds simple enough - thanks! Mississauga, that's perfect. Thanks for the info.

Some valuable advice here, though I do have a few questions myself. 1. I got caught in the rain on my way home from the track the other weekend. Wearing my leathers for the first time at the track (and maybe the 5th time every), not previously treated, and I am soaked to the bone. Took about...

Lots of fantastic shots, thanks very much for taking and posting these!
