    My 42-Year-Old Friend Failed His M2 Exam

    While I agree there are a lot of people that try for a license that shouldn't have one... slow riders generally don't rear-end multiple cars ahead of them. 🤷‍♂️

    Things are getting busy on the selling side of things.

    I have a BMW 750GS 40th that could be for sale, for the right price.... just sayin;

    The Bad Riders of Ontario Thread

    Registered and INSURED!! An ebike rear-ended a parked car not far from me, doing about $3500 in damages; and the car owner was boned, as the eBike owner/operator didn't have insurance (or, to be honest, a pot to urinate in, so no point in suing)

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    Bicycles also have to follow the rules of the road, and the HTA... Blowing stop signs is very common around Niagara region; as every time 3 or more of these weekend warriors go out together, they think they're riding the Tour de France, and have penultimate rights to the road. As a former...

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    Just about died yesterday... Going through a roundabout; woman in front of me comes to a dead-*** stop to allow the car waiting to enter the round-about to come in. THATS. NOT. HOW. THEY. WORK! I understand that mathematically, roundabouts are more efficient - and that they're incredibly...

    Errands are just a little nicer...

    Nope... Pen Centre in St. Catharines, in a yellow jacket and black helmet; would have been me, though.

    Any Photographers (Pro/Am) here?

    We know a few people that shoot weddings... the money can be decent, but the headaches can be epic. Since this is something between a hobby and a side hustle, We decided the money isn't worth the hassle...

    Any Photographers (Pro/Am) here?

    My wife and I are... She's semi-professional (does paid shoots on the side) and I'm an avid amateur... Both Canon, I'm using an EOS-R mirrorless; she's in a 6dMk2. I mostly do landscape/architecture, and some product shots; she's more versatile, does websites, portraits, and boudoir - but we...

    heading to detroit...anything interesting along the way?

    401 from London to Windsor is a pain in the ass - been under construction for years.... Crossing over, don't know if bikes are allowed in the tunnel (I don't know they aren't either...) - but I'd aim for the bridge if given the option.

    Errands are just a little nicer...

    LOL - I literally ran out and took those on my lunch break.... I'll grab a few head-on ones later for you. And yes, when I ordered this bike, I went analog dash with the add-on NAV... the digital dash is just too busy for my tastes; but the NAV unit gives me access to all the engine and...

    Errands are just a little nicer...

    Very nice - initial reviews on the 310 were pretty skeptical (it's built in India with a Chinese produced motor IIRC) - but so far, seems like it's winning people over... Reliability is apparently on par with the German built bikes, and style-wise, it's a GS. Price point is hard to beat...

    Errands are just a little nicer...

    On a sunny day. Maybe just a quick Walmart run, but I've never been so happy for the wife to ask me to grab coffee and recycling bags! 🤣

    Almost had a crash today on the 401. How should I prepare?

    Can I ride in traffic? Yes. Do I ride in traffic? Yes. Is it exhausting, and not at all enjoyable? Also, yes.

    Almost had a crash today on the 401. How should I prepare?

    While not directly motorcycle related - I drive in Montreal/Quebec for work and leisure a few times a year, either in a 5t straight truck or pulling a trailer or RV... In Ontario (specifically the GTHA) - driving is a fight; I often have to push my way in. Dans la belle province, while...
