A very dangerous situation on either bike or car. If you see a long line and you are beside a mall or parking lot, then best go slow. People trust the other driver (social etiquette) and don't look. I'm glad it only ended in some scrapes.

Install a windshield that protects your hands as well as heated grips. This will reduce your required layers. Wind sucks heat from your body.

To wrap up my license renewal interaction with the MoT Service Ontario, to my "Contact Us" question about not being able to print my temporary driver's license, I received an email today, 20 days later, telling me that I must go to a Service Ontario office in person to have it printed. Last...

Before I called the MoT Call Centre I filled out their contact form detailing my license renewal problem. it has been over 24 hrs and there is no answer so far. Still, I wait. I am not hopeful.

I did take screen shots. These shots, printed, are still not a legal temporary drivers license. Neither is the receipt I received by email from the MoT Call Centre. I doubt a cop will believe printouts from a screen shot. When I paid it did not even give me a confirmation receipt screen, which I...

Almost everything has already been said. This is a personal decision. Take a riding course, read as much as you can about riding safety. Read Hough's Proficient Motorcycling, which has a large section about traffic safety. Ride conservatively and develop your 6th sense in traffic, try to...

Did my driver's license renewal online yesterday. It said average time takes 13 minutes, download your temporary driver's license, your permanent driver's license mailed to you in 4-6 weeks. Punched in my info, all is good. Pay my $90 (3d party site), good. Then it gives me a screen telling me...

Polyester upholstery thread? You expecting to fight a fire in your gear? All the seams in the rest of your gloves and your jacket are not kevlar. Do you think that a couple of mended stitches in kevlar will give you added protection?

Firstly, thanks for a very large and clear image. Upon as close inspection as I can get from an image I'd say that there was no melting of the outer layer. I can see the slightly fluffy edges of the polyester fiber. You have scuffs and rips, it abraded through the inner layer as well, but no...

I have some of your photos that I took, before and after the repair, but can't upload them. I really need to put that article up sometime soon. I always seek out photos of mesh gear that has melted in a crash, but they are quite rare. The mesh can harden, which must mean that it heated up in...

Re: First time on a Cruiser + harley(Lowrider S) There must be a ton of used Harleys for sale in the GTA, many like new. I can see the appeal of the HD lifestyle, though not for me. The stores are set up differently. I don't get any service at most motorcycle stores, but the HD dealership was...

It would be better to post photos of you in your new gear. Your post sounds like you are a sales rep for their company.

I, too, renewed car/bike online before the price increase. It works well.

Is it really QC's fault? Possibly the leather was too weak or thin in the first place. QC only tests for specific criteria. If they are asked to test for thin leather then they will. Maybe the gloves should have been made from thicker cow hide.

Velocity glove in need of repair. I thought this happened before. Different spot.

Easy fix. Only use upholstery thread, which won't rot with sweat and water, or at least prolong rot. You can get upholstery thread at Fabricland. There are limited colours, but you only need black. $3.50 for a small roll of Gutermann, 100m, expensive compared to cotton/poly threads.. Made in...

The assumption with the CBR125, or any street bike, is that, as a street bike, he will want to ride it on the street. I believe this is a good assumption. Very few people own their own road course or start riding by going to a track. The OP is a newby, we should, and do, answer questions as yet...

Wut? How old is your Honda? I'd love to have a kickstarter, but they fazed them out around the early '80s. Maybe a dirt bike?
