    Kitchener man charged with racing – 177 km/h in 80 zone on motorcycle

    Your favoring the cars maneuverability... I'm really not sure why, considering size. *shrugs* I'll even add that the driver going 80 is relaxing and not paying attention where as the biker is on Red alert level attentiveness. But i'm sure its allot more likely that cars kill more kids than a...

    Kitchener man charged with racing – 177 km/h in 80 zone on motorcycle

    Ok, I've redone it so that the rider is taken into account and the car is empty. The bike needs to go 170kph to equal a small car at 3000lb going 80. Bike needs to go 178 if car has a driver.

    Kitchener man charged with racing – 177 km/h in 80 zone on motorcycle

    I removed the rider/driver from both equations. So i haven't inflated the car weight either, which could have more occupants. I think I've been fair. As for the kid. You gave the car the chance to maneuver over the bike? Not to mention the car has 40% of the lane and the bike takes up... 10%...

    Kitchener man charged with racing – 177 km/h in 80 zone on motorcycle

    So I'm just doing some very quick math here but isn't the putter still more dangerous? 2005 Zx6r 600 ~450lb wet x4 = 1800 Average car ~3000lb x 1 = 3000 The kid crossing the road and not looking is in danger of any vehicle no matter the speed. Official Math results: Bike needs to go 205kmph...

    Archery: Where could I buy a good leather shoulder/back quiver?

    Al Flaherty is where I get my bow supplies. Its not a huge selection, but they usually order stuff they don't have. Just north of Dufferin and Rogers road. http://www.alflahertys.com/products.php?page=4&cat_id=20&sub_cat_id=40&pr_code=&search_string=

    Streetsville Sunday Rides

    Thanks for taking me out on the town, the ice cream reduced at least 1hp from my bike however. But it was so good :)

    Sunday Ride?

    Good fun Aquila. Too bad you couldn't stick around and meet the queen V. :) Riding with a cruiser isn't bad. Reading your gas tank and seeing that requires premium 91 gas! That's truly injustice, lol

    Streetsville Sunday Rides

    Recent movies you saw - recommend or no

    Just saw this with the wife. THey totally slammed a romantic comedy and the Hangover together (heavy on the hangover). Very good flick, but there is still the basic guy wants girl whoes not interested romantic storyline to it. Hangover 2 gets my vote as the better movie between the two...

    Electric Super Sports?

    Electric Motorcycle racing? http://www.egrandprix.com/ Super Sport Electric Bikes? http://www.roehrmotorcycles.com/eSuperBike.html 96hp all the time throughout the RPM range sounds very interesting. Battery life as always is what holds this stuff back. But for dedicated track use... sounds...

    FAST course advice/tips

    One comment I would make is to definitely rent the FAST bike. This has nothing to do with crashing and having to pay for it, but instead how much you will take out of the course. I did phase 1 on my own bike and passed people very easily on the straights. Too easily. I found out later that...
