    Doing M2 Test Without going through Safety Course?

    Yep. http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/handbook/motorcycles/section8-1-0.shtml The walk test is stupid, imo. I would've failed this part of the test on account of I can only get both feet to touch the ground at the same time if I wear pointe shoes. Passed the test during the safety course just...

    who's still riding? (in toronto)

    Last week it was all hovering around freezing point when I left for work, or it rained. This week looks much more promising. Although there's the days I start out at a construction site, and having to deal with frozen/thawing mud/gravel = no thank you. Anyone have recommendations for heated...

    Highway speed and wind

    Leather jackets are awesome for this. I was out on the 401 last Friday when it was super windy, on a stretch that had terrible crosswinds somewhere between the 427 and Dixie. Was definitely getting pushed side-to-side quite a bit on my 250, but head-on wind due to speed was easy to deal with...

    heres the names of councilors that voted to end our free parking

    Well, that's disappointing. There are a few cyclists in that list who should be very ashamed. You'd think as proponents of alternative modes of transportation themselves, they would know better. Money talks, apparently louder than common sense.

    Lane splitters take note...

    In Ontario, (adult-sized) bicycles are defined as vehicles under the HTA, so they're not allowed on sidewalks anywhere in the province. I'd rather bike on the road than on a sidewalk. However my commute is outside the downtown core, so the roads are way smoother and I can easily cruise at...

    What games do you play?

    We recently gave our friends Zombicide as a house-warming gift. Think Left4Dead, but on a board. Also, there's an online website (brettspielwelt) where you can play some board games online. The interface takes a bit to get used to, but if it's difficult to get a good group of friends together...

    Severed Cat heads.

    And different pets have different needs. Cats were not bred to be lap pets that are happy just to sit there and do nothing. They never lost their hunting instincts - it may have been toned down and they may be really bad at it, but the instinct is there all the same (ever twitch a piece of...

    Severed Cat heads.

    ...yes, bad smells and the occasional minor property damage are SO much worse than a tortured death.

    man plows through motorcyclists

    Lol I think you read that quote wrong. Did you mean to refer to Mieses? So you're saying you would have gotten out of your car and locked yourself out of your only safe place, to confront a mob with KNIVES?! That's some excellent self-preservation instincts you've got. What are your wife and...
