    how angry would it make you if other rider passed you in your own lane?

    People will go at whatever speed they want, no matter which lane. I've been in the far right lane going 110 or so and had people going 120+ and going around me. When they had the middle and left lane to speed in instead. Jerkoffs will find anywhere and anytime to be jerkoffs. I've been in the...

    how angry would it make you if other rider passed you in your own lane?

    This always bothers me. Yes the left lane is the "passing lane", it's not the "be an ******* lane." (******* being the guy going 150+) Also tons of people drive in the far left lane, not just to pass in.

    401 WEST bound

    I guess it shows that it's not just the cars we have to worry about, it's other riders. Thanks for sharing this, glad you are ok. Hope the other rider learns to ride better after this and to wear proper gear:)

    Mirror replacement - Cbr250, Need help.

    Looking for slightly bigger mirrors so I can see what's behind me. Anyone have any suggested for good replacement mirrors? Ones that you have used yourself. I heard you can use the Cbr600 mirrors on the 250. I looked around and there's a few brands, but not sure how "dependable" they are, so...

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    Re: really? reallyyy? Not hard to see all the gear when the person is in front of you. As for bikes, I don't know all the models or makes out there, or even close. I knew it was a sport bike by the size of the tires. First thing I notice on a rider is the gear they are wearing. Shane

    Windscreen replacement and Gear shift adjustment. DIY or Mechanic?

    I'm mechanically adept. I have taken an item my engineering partner had made and just by looking at it replicated the build from parts. Not to mention I have an aptitude for mechanical things. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    80 in a 60 is a ticketable offense, whether you speeders like it or not, whether i like it or not. That's not the point. The point was the guy was riding recklessly and cut me off very abruptly. That's what my major issue was, that and his blatant disregard for his safety. I'm sorry if i am not...

    Windscreen replacement and Gear shift adjustment. DIY or Mechanic?

    I find when i'm riding on my cbr250, i get beaten by the wind quite hard. Especially in my neck area. I saw that replacing my windscreen will help. I do sit more of an upright position. Do you suggest this as a good idea to do? Also i'm going to adjust my shift lever, has anyone had issues...

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    Ticket able offence. It was more about his speed + lack of his own safety that bothered me, especially when he cut me off. If I wasn't an aware driver, he might be in the news. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
