Thanks guys!

Hey guys, I had a bike insured with company A. I sold it, called them and have cancelled the policy and got a refund, since the bike is sold. They asked if I'm replacing it for another one, and I said no since I have no immediate replacement. However in a few months I plan to start looking for...

Eh. I grew up in Russia, and while it's not Europe traffic there is chaotic at times as well. People don't look out for each other, at least in my experience. They look out for themselves. That's why the system works. Where I'm from pedestrian was the lowest tier of traffic. Nobody yields to...

Not sure if sarcasm. Nobody plans on falling until they do. I highsided going 40km/h around a familiar corner a while back. It rained, some of the mud moved due to the rain onto the road and I rolled through it. Didn't speed, road looked fine (the sun was setting). Didn't expect it until the...

You are right about the plate part, I don't know. Although I would imagine it would be hard to deny if the bike is warm and matches the description. As for the second part, sorry but I don't have the time nor the crayons to explain how MILLIONS OF YEARS of evolution can override your judgement...

Personality - prefrontal cortex Flight or fight - amygdala Not even the same part of the brain. People respond to stress differently. Some people just freeze up in one spot. Perhaps your response is just different. I know mine (and of many other people since it's programmed in) is to think...

It's true, one person controls the throttle. It's also true that people have a fight or flight response. It's ingrained in us. The guy panicked and ran. Assuming the rider made a thought out, calculated decision when the lights turned on is rather naive. I've had a few encounters with cops...

I agree, we need to wait for OP, however you do realize that people have other things to do than read this forum day in and day out right? He's been out for 7 hours. Maybe he's out taking advantage of the nice weather? Are you here 24/7? I doubt it. I don't visit this forum for weeks at a time...

I don't get why people are defending the seller. Yeah, he bought and rebuilt it. Fine. But it's not about the money. He is LYING about the history of the bike. I would avoid the seller based on that alone. Where's a guarantee he even repaired it well? Maybe it was a 1 man DIY operation with...

No way! Really?? Please share more of your infinite wisdom. You can actually get ticketed pretty easily if a cop is having a bad day. Next you will tell me to avoid getting mugged... I shouldn't get mugged! Pure genius.

6k-10k year for a drz? That sounds abnormally high, even if you are 19. What driving experience do you have? License?

Great way to get run over.

In your case they are responding to an emergency. If there's no emergency, there's no need to act like you are special on the road.

So you are telling me any other vehicle travelling at or below the speed limit doesn't ? Probably not as noticeable since if somebody is driving at the posted limit they will just pass them in another lane, as opposed to waiting behind them. Should police be treated any differently? Some would...

That's a good question. RBC states as long as the receiver hasn't deposited it yet, it can be canceled. When I bought my previous bike my bank called me the next day (after the transfer completed) and inquired whether the transaction was legitimate or not. So I'm guessing the money can also...

Yeah. It's almost as if the forum is composed of different people with different... opinions that voice those opinions in threads that fit them... Or something along those lines. By the way, legitimate question for the last part: Lets say I sold a bike to someone, and they decided not to...

My advice, don't cheap out on the gear. To me camping gear is on the same level as tools. You get what you pay for. Higher priced gear is usually lighter and more durable. I also advice you look into a thermarest. You don't want to be sleeping on essentially the ground.

And that's fine, in the original story the biker intentionally accelerated and hit the cop from what I understand. Hedo was mentioning how if the driver can't come to a stop in time they were speeding/not paying attention, to which I'm trying to show that it isn't always the case. Sometimes...

One a one lane road perhaps. There's a video somewhere of a cop walking across 2 lanes of traffic to stop some guy in the third lane, and almost getting mowed down by the car in the second lane since it did not see nor expect some moron walking at a quick pace across a busy road as if cars...

Check if they carry HF139.
