don't do this: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/story/2012/07/27/calgary-coutts-guns-border-conviction.html

Driving through illonois and watching guys on the I-90 with their helmets attached to the bike (out of state plates) made me cringe. At a rest stop I got asked "Why do you wear all that gear? You Afraid?" TO which I said, hell yes I am afraid of falling off and having the scrap the rocks out...

I thought January was a good time, right after the holidays when people's bills are coming in, but that's just an opinion.

It started as own research, but after talking with an old materials professor, it might turn into a masters by expanding the parameters. It's been something in the works for about 2 years now doing research into what is available out there. Not surprisingly there isn't much, and what is...

1200 reports is what everyone called for for the second Hurt Report, not a statistician but they were...

I think that's unsubstatiated. Both cracking and crushing takes elastic energy and in that case mode of impact would have a bigger difference than type of crack, but I'll add that to the list of questions.

I had this discussion with one of the leading researchers of this in Canada. Know the biggest problem in it's use for military applications? Puncture and it all spilling out. you need a puncture resistent layer which itself is heavy and unflexible negating the advantages of the liquid. Also...

I don't think swapping acid would work. Not a battery expert but 1st and second year chemistry leads me to believe that the battery is many pressurised cells which would be really hard to safety swap any electrolyte on the inside. Secondly I believe that charging changes the liCoO_2 into Li...

To be honest I thought the numbers would be a lot more in favour of helmets. I'm surprised... Thanks OP. And I'm not being a sarcastic jerk about it.

In my opinion (newb) those are the easiest to see and the ones that matter the least. I'd want to know about the big crashes where he replaced all the broken bits and probably used a shop to get help cause damage was extensive.

Agreed on the impracticality of swapping, but charging station are getting really popular in Victoria BC. They even get preferential parking spots!

I did read it, and it's part of my presentation package actually :D I don't intend to repeat what they've done, I'm more interested on how helmets DID hold up in a crash after use compared to brand new helmets in factory condition under very controlled test. So looking for signs of...

there's carproof and carfax for cars anything similiar for bikes? Like a report that a bike had been in an accident?

Hey, I was wondering how many people had helmets that had been in a crash they were going to throw out. I want to do some research into where impacts occurred and how the helmets dissipated energy and which features helped. I have access to lab facilities but not additional funding (at this...

I'm a big fan of the tablet display, feels like a glass cockpit! And the wind up of the engine sounds like a quiet jet so I'm reallly liking this. And can't it just plug into an outlet via extension cord (with that charger thing)? They said it can charge on 110V. IMHO if they could get...

I think the Hurt report covered that didn't it? Or perhaps the MAIDS?

Highlight of my day - Viffer saying my idea was not stupid :cool:

I went into the delearship looking at new bikes and they tried to steer me away from the 650r because "they get a lot in that are burning oil" is this a common complaint? I don't find too much on google on on GTAM so is that just 1 delear's opinion? Are there other known issues for the 06-08...

Is the fact that both go up just a cash grab? Seems like the insurance isn't taking twice the risk... It's also like the 50% at-fault BS. I got one and my insurance didn't only "half" go up, and the other guys went up one full accident too so overall ontario insurance companies are making...
