    Passing on the right hand shoulder of the road.

    Never assume they will stop for you till they have stopped for you. Left hand turns are one of the most dangerous actions on the public roads, especially for motorcyclists. #1 reason of motorcyclist fatalities, beating out failure to navigate corners. I know the situation you are describing...

    Trickle charging more than one bike

    The chargers are cheap enough and the Battery Jr ones come with a pretty decent SAE lead. I just left the battery to SAE lead plugged in and tucked it away under the seat. There are also lots of 12V accessories you can put an SAE lead on, like USB chargers. Most chargers like the Jr have...

    Seats on new motorcycles

    I don't mind the stock seat on my 790 Duke but the power parts Ergo Seat is better at hour 3 of a day trip. When i'm in my usual A* Raider Drystar textile pants, I prefer the Ergo seat, but when i'm in my A* Track Leather 2's and pushing, the stock seat is a whole lot better for sliding around...

    Rip Michael K williams

    Definitely. Season 2 was perhaps the low point for me, even if it set up the greatness that was season 4 and 5. One of the greatest TV shows. Also, Hamsterdam!

    Thinking of packing it in on the street...

    Perhaps riding with the community? If you are competent, safe and patient, perhaps "mentoring" some newer riders? Of course you gotta be selective and set boundaries but it can really reinvigorate your desire by being around enthusiastic people.

    Unable to open site without a VPN?

    Recently Akamai has been having problems. Your issue may be DNS related. Internet is still recovering from that outage. One DNS may be relying on Akamai while the other is not. Vpns often have their own preferred DNS. Akamai is an internet caching service.

    E-mail replies

    Emails are better for the "paper trail". As long as the email account is active, you will have a record. Sms and WhatsApp and etc are not ideal for permanent records as exporting them are a pain in the ass. If you lose your phone, and aren't on-top of your backups, good luck! If it is for...

    Rokform mount and case?

    If wireless charging is not a concern, then any case and one of their universal mounts will work. Here it is on a Spigen case. I have the wireless charger on my bike so my current phone (Note 9) has one of their cases.

    Need new track helmet, any recommendations?

    I'm in the same boat. Looking for a cheap but crash safe track helmet. Gonna stick with a helmet with creature comforts like a drop down visor and cheap replacement screens for street. I'm probably reading the same stuff as you Priller as the Scorpion R1 Air Carbon has had glowing reviews but...

    Yup, we had someone from KW. You gotta leave 'early' and not take the 4 series.

    cutting a windshield

    Buddy cut his down and it looks great. More of a fly screen at this point and he spray coated it. Same issues as you described as he was too tall for the screen. A hacksaw and some files and sanding paper will do the job. We cut another windscreen a few weeks ago for a different bike so clip...

    Avoiding fortnine now

    Lice, Crabs. You got it mixed up. Chiming in late. Ride in it and its yours. Always been the case. And even if its not Fortnine, Revzilla Anthony's jingle about returns is burned in. And honestly, what are they supposed to do with a used helmet. Would you ever buy one that someone else...

    Oakville Area

    If you mean the Oakville Assembly Complex, then its just one scenic sweeper on the service road. Do that a few times and security gets called. Not worth the travel to get there in the first place.

    Oakville Area

    Also, Sulphur Springs and Mineral Springs may as well be unpaved for the several cm of gravel on top. Those are knobbie roads. edit: nevermind, your route isn't going through the landslide section. Its still slippery though!
