The bike: Honda Shadow Spirit C2 750 The GPS: Garmin ZUMO 660 - fully waterproof and quite expensive mounted on left handlebar. The voice doesn't work anymore but that's irrelevant on a motorcycle. Other than a case of laryngitis the unit works fine. The optics of the screen are great even for...

If I catch a thief in my shed trying to boost my bike he'll need a 2-wheeler........the kind with the wheels on the sides.

People who live in condos or apartment buildings might have a hard time getting their bikes on the elevator. i personally wouldn't own a bike if I didn't have a shed to lock it in.

A zx6r ? I'd probably steal it myself and leave you my clunker (2007 Shadow 750) in its place. I know you won't be catching me anytime soon if you are riding my old Shadow. :D

Gonna have to start riding "beaters" exclusively because you can't park a decent bike anywhere anymore without it disappearing. Some of the bike booster gangs have boom trucks with swing out telescoping booms with choker cables that will pick a 900 pound Wing off the ground like it was a kids...

If the cops could manage to tear themselves away from Tim Hortons long enough they should park decoy bikes in underground parking lots and stake them out like the conservation officers do with the fake deer to catch poachers. I don't think a respectable looking bike would sit there 24 hrs...

Almost wish I was. I could handle $90K/yr salary + gold pated benefit package + pension plan right about now. Unfortunately that isn't the reality I live in.

My bike is no $15K crotch rocket or $25K Wing but I still keep it locked up in the shed when I'm not using it. My bike is 7 years old and a lower priced cruiser to boot so unless I leave it running in the mall parking lot I'm reasonably safe. Bikes have been stolen in the area. The crooks are...

The cop probably lost his battle with the little lady at home and got up on the wrong side of the bed or more likely on the wrong side of the cramped settee in the living room after his bedroom rights were revoked with a sore back, a headache and in a peeved off mood. He was boiling over with...

Newbie dents: To save face tell questioners that your kid knocked the bike over while playing on it. :rolleyes: Roll bars: A good investment for those less experienced/co-ordinated among us before the bike starts looking like a crumpled potato chip bag.

Like the old truism says: Consider the source. :rolleyes:

Nothing wrong with sports bikes. I've owned a couple myself. Sports bikes are objects and can't form the intent to break laws or commit dangerous acts which might harm people. Only the riders can do that. To make the statement "sport bikes shouldn't be allowed on the street" would be following...

You have a problem with I.Q. comparison "insults" but don't take issue with someone openly advocating illegal and dangerous behavior ?? Hope my or your wife or kid is not in the way when this guy or somebody like him "hammers on it" down the street in flight from police.

The defect in that logic is that radio waves travel at the speed of light which is a bit faster than even the fastest racing bike. Attempting to "escape by flight" is significantly higher on the legal pain charts than speeding. It seems that failure to assess consequences is difficult when your...

I think I can shoot my restricted handguns safely at a gravel pit but I don't do it. Why?, because it's illegal and out of respect for a concept that keeps civilization from rapidly turning into chaos called the rule of law. If you don't agree with the provincial law or city ordinances contact...

The new age mentality: Do what you want, where you want, when you want, as often as you want without a single thought or regard whatsoever of the consequences to others. I guess the message here is that people who obey the law, act responsibly and show respect and regard for the safety of other...

I've run into "it's my neighborhood" nazis before and when you argue with them it's like trying to put out a fire by pouring gas on it. Attention is what these guys crave and as long as you give it to them they'll be like a horsefly at the beach and never go away. I just ignore them. If you...

A responsible rider doing 164 in a 60 zone on city streets ??!! She should have been charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and jailed and her bike bike impounded. Did she ever think that perhaps the zone was designated 60 kph for a reason? Another thrill seeker with wanton...

Been on the 401 or 407 lately? The slow lane is doing 120 kph.

I don't see that constraint on the application of the law in the language of the statute that I included in my post.
