Point taken. I still haven't finished reading every single topic and post on gtamotorcycle.com. Please forgive me if I ever say something that has already been said.

I totally agree that accountability for one's actions is essential to functional society. When I lived in Japan I got a taste of what it was like to live in a 'nanny state' and it was tough. I don't think Canada is there...yet. It's still perplexing why we have speed limits and yet almost all...

I hope that's used as a defence if Moose Rider gets caught.

That's what I figured. I was also hoping the train of cars behind me would me pass me if I moved over but they didn't. In my first week of riding I had hail and high speed winds. Calm sunny days feel like a dream now.

Just putting this out there but why does the government allow vehicles on the road that can reach 300km/h? I understand you need passing power but once you're over 160km/h (high end) what is the government's justification? I'm not saying there should be governors but I've always wondered why...

On the Easter long weekend I experienced crazy right to left winds on highway 7A between Peterborough and Port Perry. Traffic was pretty heavy and I had been riding from Ottawa so my nerves were almost shot by that point. I decided to leave the left tire track and ride in the right to give...

I got Moto only insurance through Jessica at Tracey Pether's State Farm Agency . She's downtown at Adelaide and Jarvis. It was quick and straight forward. There was a soft sell on life insurance but there was no problem declining it.

But do you mind when people stop traffic so they can back OUT of a spot? I bet if 2 competent drivers raced, one backing in and the other driving in, and then driving out and the other backing out, the driver backing in would win every time. I was always taught to back in to a spot. It's safer...

On my way back from Ottawa this weekend I stopped at a gas station and when I did a quick visual check of my bike I noticed my gear shift lever bolt was hanging by the last few threads. I had removed my gear shift lever to clean the front sprocket guard earlier in the week and thought I had...

I finally rode my bike back from Ottawa. The wind was blowin right to left the whole way but I survived. Now I'm looking to join the noob group ride. Have any plans be made yet?

I have been letting my bike warm up longer than the first two days and it seems to be running fine. The temp has been about -1 - 4*C in the morning so I guess it just needed more time with the choke on.

Okay thanks. I'll turn up the idle and let the bike warm up to 5K with the choke open. I stalled it in an intersection tonight when I gave it gas turning left and it really freaked me out. Traffic had to stop and I couldn't get the bike to move without keeping the choke open.

I have the choke open full until the rpms get up to 3k. Then I close the choke and rpms idle at 1k. If give it throttle slowly the RPM get up to 3k but then the bike stalls or sputters. If I release the clutch and give it throttle in first, she dies. It is cold in Ottawa today, about 7 degrees...

How did the appointment go? I'm having the same problem with my 250. When I give it gas she stalls. After about 5-10 minutes of this I can get her to run fine. Did the mechanic tell you what the problem was?

I can make little sense of how insurance rates are determined. Vifferfun can probably write a book on the process. I just hope you feel better about why you might not be getting the same rate as someone else even though it seems like you have the same determining variables. Your insurance will...

If you are 22, is it possible to have your G class for 6 years? You get your G1 on your 16th birthday and get your G2 class at 8 months minimum if you took drivers ed. Then you need to wait 12 months before you can get your G class. This would make you 17 years and 8 months at the absolute...

Re: Where you guys buy your gears? I'm all for saving cash and buying online is usually a great way to do so. BUT I want to warn you of my current situation. The gear I ordered is currently "International item arrived in Canada and will be reviewed by Customs". It's been 3 days in customs and...

No goatee joke yet?

As a noob I think the wave is a gold star for the bike community. The cage is a mechanism of isolation like so many other systems in our modern world like headphones, cubicles, drive-thrus, suburbia etc. It might be a bit redundant to wave when downtown on a sunny afternoon but if you're out on...

I just can't get over how narrow it is. There is no shoulder. What becomes your 'Exit Strategy' in this situation? If a car comes around a corner and doesn't give you any road, it's over. Hopefully Spain will be twisty but wider. When my GF got back from Italy she said the scooters and...
