I missed Breathtec Biomedical (BTH) - a little lower profile than BLO. EDIT: I didn't miss it, I shouldn't have added it. Breathtec is using similar technology, but the device will be used to detect (from breath) certain types of cancer, Alzeheimer's and liver disease.

Marapharm doesn't have a license yet in Canada, nothing built yet in Nevada, and they're working "with the license holder" in Washington. Expenses are primarily for consulting fees and professional fees. This may be worth trading for the volatility but I would suggest a cautious approach as an...

I'm not a rights activist. I honestly don't see the harm in the occasional random stop. The Charter, however, is there to protect us because history has taught us that what can happen, will happen. If there was evidence to show that a majority of riders stopped for apparent traffic...

Golden Leaf is selling in the US. (GLH on the CSE) Nutritional High, you already mentioned. Cannabix Technologies - BLO on the CSE is developing a breathalyzer type device. http://cannabisroyalties.com/ Check this link - they have several investments covering all aspects of the marijuana...

Probably not the first time. What if it's every day? What if it's every ride? "That's stupid, it would never get that bad!" Why not? If remove the requirement for reasonable grounds, or the prohibition against unreasonable search, then we've done exactly that - created the environment where...

There's lots of potential in the industry as a whole, but like any other nascent industry there are many struggling pubcos that will make the jump to a new business without sufficient planning or financing. Anybody remember the Dot.com bubble in the 90's? Every junior mineral exploration...

Is it backwards somewhere? Was it me? You pull in the lever to disengage the clutch. You release it to engage the clutch. Honest, I know how it works. If I made a mistake in one of my overly long posts it's only 'cuz I'm supposed to be working and I rushed. ;)

...Because A) you rightly pointed out the new riders pay close attention to what we post, so I explained my position fully; and B) I ensured the detail was there so it wouldn't require clarification like my first post. I'm not sure the OP's experience with his bike, but your responses are as...

Sorry for the double reply to the same post, but that is an important point, and it reminds me of how it comes up during training. A common mistake with new riders is to pull in the clutch when preparing to downshift, click down on the shift lever, and coast for a while - maybe braking, maybe...

Perhaps my focus in the first post was too much on the argument about knowing the specific gear at all times - it's a pet peeve of mine. With my new bike, I often find myself reaching for another gear, because I'm in a different range than what I've been used to for the last 15 years. Most...

The guidance came with the caveat that they had learned and practiced at a course, didn't it? That the powerband had been explained. In the OP's question, he's asked about not knowing what gear he is in when downshifting. In your scenario, you say a new rider is in 5th at 120kmh and has no...

I'm hopeful that in any of the comments about tapping through more than one gear, it was most often meant in the context of coming to a stop and not actually downshifting. That's certainly what I meant. When we teach in a parking lot, riders practice a full downshift into first gear. The only...

A couple of points, and I think they've been touched on or included with other information already: 1) In most cases, it doesn't matter what gear you're in. If you recently took a rider training course, the instructors probably talked a lot about the power band. You need to be in the right...

We generally assume in Ontario that our insurance pays out and many of us are cynical enough to then expect that our rates must reflect that risk. I learned recently however, that according to the loss transfer rules, as long as the other driver is at least partly at fault, his insurance pays...

Ask Sully

In essence, have we not simply determined that "where filtering is already a common practice, it's probably safer than not filtering"? I could accept that. Where filtering is NOT a common or accepted practice, the potential benefit of reducing the potential for rear-end collisions may be more...

They're charging you through the winter because they're financing your annual premium. Agreed on the "penalty" though. It supposed to be a fee for cancelling part way through a year and I'm pretty sure it was implemented to keep us from cancelling and renewing.

This is one of the most difficult points to contest, because "if it's done right, it's safer" applies to everything. Collisions are caused by mistakes - whether it's inattention or an improper action/reaction. So if everyone did everything right, we would all be safer and filtering wouldn't be...

As I said only a couple of posts ago, the "two lines" vs "two lanes" may be significant - and it also says "traffic", not vehicles. The implication to me is that there has to be room for for everyone, not just the smallest vehicle. In other words, if there's room for all the traffic to go...
