Actually the optimum way to move the most cars is use all of the space - all the way to when the lane ends. However, cutting into the empty lane from another lane just to move ahead afew cars is indeed an ******* thing to do. Even more ******* than this though is intentionally blocking people...

eh it's not really dick swinging - someone dumb enough to try to argue the point that track riding doesn't make you better on the street - it's a pretty safe bet to say I would be 'better' - I'll admit it would be hard to qualify 'better' in terms of street riding unless we have a competition to...

We need our own "I saw you" thread for KW, haha Saw a nice KTM RC8 getting gas on Weber toward Fairway yesterday around lunch time, wonder if that was any of you fellows that post here

Perhaps, but I am better at both riding and driving than 99.9% of the driving/riding population, including you judging from your posts - I would bet money on it, in fact. Take from that what you will dude, myself and others have explained the common sense reasons why taking your bike to the...

Honestly we worry too much about legal fault - a man is dead, the focus should be on how we can avoid suffering a similar fate. In this case it seems pretty clear the answer is "slow down and pay closer attention to the sides of the road". I wish every driver who violated right of way was...

To clarify: I'm not saying it should be legally the rider's fault simply because of speed - but legal doesn't matter if you're dead...don't speed excessively inside city limits and expect right of way to save you. I mean, we don't know, maybe the guy wasn't speeding at all and this story is...

You can't travel 30km/h above a 50 or 60km/h speed limit and expect people will notice that you have the right of way...they don't expect you to be there. A method taught in the UK that works for me: When you are approaching someone who will be turning across your path, do a slight weave in...

They are a legalized mafia - dislike them if you want but unless you're willing to go "all in" in any given situation we do need to "respect" them (respect meaning acknowledge that temporarily a group of people who aren't deserving or qualified to have power - do indeed have power - and act...

Jokes aside it's actually not all that bad to meet up with people from an internet forum - this isn't craigslist or kijiji, it is a small site where the administrators can and would 100% have to cooperate with any police investigation - and while that's of little consolation if you've been made...

A Ninja 500 (EX500) is an amazing and very common beginner bike - it blows my mind that people would feel the need to suggest a lower number of CCs when reading this thread. We need to start up an insurance cooperative that only handles the bare minimum liability and get rates down to where...

Our laws are purposefully draconian to give the police far reaching and insane power - so much so that how they enforce the law matters more than how the law is written itself. I don't agree with this but its the way it is currently - the fact that HTA 172 can withstand challenges shows that...

+1 for the guys who have said it already - if you haven't done track days or moto gymkhana or other performance riding events you simply aren't qualified to comment on if they help you for street riding. Your opinion on it doesn't matter, at all. The discussion that has legitimacy might be...

You didn't understand my post, nor did you correctly evaluate the links he sent. The latter link is a paper written by an advisory committee (that by the way, recommends officially doing away with the pink slips). The former is a bill that was passed (not a part of the HTA). Basically buddy...

Cute, but no. Also I wouldn't categorize an advisory committee as "the government", but your interpretation of that paper is clearly different from mine. There is no case law I'm aware of that currently deals with this issue (the fact that it makes no sense to wait for a mailed card when we...

The links you provided aren't actually law (the portions that say it must be a pink card). The latter in particular is simply an interpretation of the law; no different from my interpretation above. The reality will make itself evident when someone eventually gets charged for showing a printed...

The HTA basically reads that you have to provide the original document however if you are emailed and print out an insurance card I would argue that that card becomes the "original" and isn't a copy. There is no requirement in the act for it to be "pink". Operator to carry insurance card 3...

How much you payin'?

These are some really good points and I have a hard time disagreeing with you - the only part of what you are saying that I DO disagree with is that you need to reconcile the skills - everything you learn on the track, even hanging off (or at least understanding why you hang off the bike) is at...

Seriously ? "what do you learn on the track that is useful on the street" I got one word for you fellas and that word is "Brakes" Comfort with your brakes, comfort during braking while in the middle of a turn, comfort standing a bike up in the middle of a turn to avoid an obstacle. A track...

Who cares who is at fault - you are still dead.. I pretend I'm at fault for everything and riding is like a video game where everyone is trying to kill you. Why get mad at soccer moms for being soccer moms? Keep the blood pressure low and ride to survive - don't waste energy getting mad at...
