    Best Alarm System - Unlimited Budget

    I believe the sleep mode can be disabled, but at the risk of draining your battery. I was toying with the idea of getting a second US unit (and data plan) and just swapping it out when I cross the border, but I don't go to the US yet enough to justify it. It would probably be pretty easy to do...

    Best Alarm System - Unlimited Budget

    I have the sr-i1000, it's $10/month for the service (I think) and has a lot of nice features like tracking all your rides for you (great when you go on a group ride and later want to recall the route), being able to locate your bike remotely, geofences, etc. You can also get notification to...

    Ontario GTA photo tag

    Lots of people will wait and post old and new tags at the same time. Confusingly, there is no requirement for the new tag photo to be taken after the old one was taken. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New rider, will attempt the impossible...

    Per the link I posted earlier, if we do not have a licence exchange treat with the country in question, if he can get a letter from the foreign licensor that shows he has equivalent driving experience, he wi ll get credit for that from the MTO. Far from impossible. Although probably not worth...

    Yeah, but the point is he didn't move to the front of the line. He was already in line with his foreign licence. There was no loophole to be found, that's how the system is supposed to work.

    That's because you already "waited" (in another country). The effect is, that by the time you have your M, you will have at least the minimum required amount of driving experience. You can not hold a licence in another country for 3 months and then come to Ontario and receive an M licence, you...

    This is mostly based on whether we have reciprocal treaties with other countries for licensing. Take a look here: http://www.drivetest.ca/en/license/OutOfCountryDrivers.aspx . If you come from a country that we do have a treaty with, they will just exchange your licence. You most likely came...

    You are reading this wrong. This reads as: - novice drivers (G1/G2/M1/M2) of any age - all drivers 21 and under, regardless of licence class must have a blood alcohol level of zero when operating a motor vehicle. The key line here is "are convicted of violating any of the graduated...

    That's not reducing the amount of time you're required to hold the M2 class, that's just getting credit for the time you had your licence in another country.

    Yes, but that's much different. You had a foreign licence, and they're just determining equivalency. My sister-in-law (who is Dutch), just came here and bypassed the entire graduated licencing program by merely writing the test. But she already held a licence in the Netherlands. What we're...

    Where do you see "If you have a G class and an M2 class (hybrid), the most restrictive regulations apply to the license as a whole." From the link you posted: Effective August 1, 2010, novice or hybrid drivers (drivers that hold a novice licence and full licence, e.g., G/M2) will be...

    The M2 class restrictions do not apply to your G class (except insofar as if you get your licence suspended for violating M2 conditions, it will affect your G). How do you expect us to believe you're going to work the system to get your M ahead of schedule if you can't figure that out? Sent...

    I Hate Digital Speedometers, They Are Retarded

    Personally I don't think it's that comfortable riding when it's 25C or hotter, and think 20C is about perfect riding weather, but I guess Peggy either likes to sweat or doesn't wear any gear whatsoever...

    Why I quit riding motorcycles.

    I think the point he was making is he's 35 times more likely to do it on a motorcycle, and with a wife and kids he decided the risk finally outweighed the reward. Everyone is entitled to make their own choices about riding a motorcycle (or not riding one), and come to their own conclusions about...

    A warning about beer and riding an SS: I learned a hard lesson :(

    That's sacrilege! Beer was meant to be served in glass and tastes quite disgusting out of an aluminum can. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rider down - Lakeshore and York

    Was heading home around 5:45 and saw a rider down at Lakrshore and York. I didnt get a good look but I saw an S1000RR and a Nissan Cube stopped. Police were just arriving on the scene when I was there. Hope the rider is okay. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Students owning bikes & Osap

    I survived school, and I'm actually doing pretty well, thanks. I've been out of school for nearly a decade. What I am concerned about is other people who are trying to get an education. And not using my hard-earned tax dollars to subsidize a bloody motorcycle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    You realize the basic personal amount is only like $8k, right? And there's CPP, EI, and any other potential deductions, so if you work during the school year you are definitely paying taxes. As has also been mentioned, not everyone can live at home while going to school (for a variety of...
