    GoPro HD Hero 2 - $219

    ^ what he said. Did they send you this email after you contacted them? Yea, someone on RFD linked to Amazon's policy and were definitely covered. I don't see why anyone would hesitate to buy from Amazon. The only thing that will happen is it will waste our time. Also it looks like someone...

    Safety question - left turners

    Its an airhorn, you can get it from twistedthrottle.com or from their canadian reseller, aviciouscycle.ca. Mine doesnt seem to be as loud as the one in the video, but its still a lot better than stock. I have the horn and compressor mounted separately, lots of info on other forums on how to this...

    Safety question - left turners

    I keep an eye out for both the left and right turners. Sometimes they start to roll forward as I approach, so I release the throttle and tap the horn. The two times I remember doing this both cars stopped moving. One car was about to make a right turn into my lane ahead of me (view of me was...

    Recommended Insurance agent/broker

    M1 for one year cut my insurance rates by half, so I dont think M2 really matters. TD charged me ~$2300 for 8 months last year. I parked my bike for 4 months and got insured again last month for $~2000 a year. Also you should should call to get quotes. Some of the online quote generators can...

    Recommended Insurance agent/broker

    You wont find it any cheaper for your first year. I got $4000 quotes last year. If you can I strongly suggest you wait one FULL year (from day of m1 received) before getting a bike as insurance rate will be so much lower. I made the mistake of buying the bike before thinking about insurance. If...

    I am glad I joined this site as its tips like these that will keep me safe. As everyone is saying you should learn from your mistakes. Couple weeks ago I was in the right lane, left-center track, at a red light and started daydreaming. Next thing I know there's an SUV, female driver :)...

    Quebec finally getting "move-over" law

    I agree this needs to be enforced more often, I havent heard of anyone getting a ticket for this. I usually come to a stop in the right lane, but many drivers seem to ignore the emergency vehicles until its right behind them. I live near both a fire and ambulance station and see this often.

    Installing levers

    I bought levers for my bike as well a couple of months ago, still haven't installed them. It seems simple but the only thing stopping me is that it probably requires clutch/brake line adjusting and I don't know what the right setting is for those lines.
