    Been filtering through traffic during rush hour

    Hedo, if you read my post you'll see I admit that I do things that arent 100% legal, like filtering - which IMO can be done completely safely on a bike (provided other drivers dont have it in for you). If the phone call was about that then I would take my medicine. I admit in the thread I...

    Been filtering through traffic during rush hour

    You could also potentially get run over. I filtered to the right in a wide lane yesterday that had vehicles waiting at a red light. The woman at the front of the line got seriously ****** at me and ran me off the road. She tried to "race" me to get across the intersection first so I couldn't...

    Just got a voicemail from a police officer warning me about my driving

    That thought definitely crossed my mind.

    Just got a voicemail from a police officer warning me about my driving

    Marcos. Ive been thinking a lot about this. I assume I probably did something that legitimately ****** somebody off, I may have cut in front of someone abruptly so that I could make a turn. I am not a perfect rider, and I do take liberties because I'm on a bike. But I don't do so at the risk of...

    Just got a voicemail from a police officer warning me about my driving

    According to the Roadwatch website the intent is just to scare drivers. There are no actual punitive measures. http://www.roadwatch.ca/RWCanada_FAQ.aspx

    Just got a voicemail from a police officer warning me about my driving

    That's a problem though. I have never been pulled over. I want to be credited for that if and when it happens.

    Just got a voicemail from a police officer warning me about my driving

    I guess its good they actually do something when someone calls, but the whole "he said she said" element makes me mad. In this case, I was not acting badly. All it takes is a little bit of anti-motorcycle bias and somebody overreacting and it could do a lot of damage.

    Just got a voicemail from a police officer warning me about my driving

    Strange right? Better that than a cop showing up at my work or something. But yeah, I'm sure it didn't take a lot of red tape.

    Just got a voicemail from a police officer warning me about my driving

    That has to mean something though. I'm concerned if I ever do get pulled over for anything they'll throw the book at me.

    Just got a voicemail from a police officer warning me about my driving

    I'm going to try him next week. The officer answering the phone at 54 division wasn't particularly helpful.

    Just got a voicemail from a police officer warning me about my driving

    I tried. His mail box is full and he only works 11pm to 6 am. The message was left in the middle of the night last night. Friggin ridiculous.

    Just got a voicemail from a police officer warning me about my driving

    What the hell? So I just checked my messages and there is a message from a police officer stating that some other driver made a report with my license plate saying that I was driving erratically, running lights and almost taking out pedestrians. He gave me the time and place and I was on my way...

    Whirring?

    Hi all. Hope everyone here has been well this summer. I have a question, my bike, on occasion, appears to have begun making a "whirring" noise when the throttle is moved. Sounds like wind through a channel of some sort - somewhat high pitched. Ive noticed no decrease in performance and no...

    Listening to music while riding?

    I listen to music whenever I ride. If its too loud I have had some sirens sneak up on me, but at a reasonable level I dont miss anything. On the highway I find you cant hear much with or without ear plugs, so you might as well have music playing and use visual cues as much as possible.

    Bikers-Leathers?

    Well to their credit after responding yesterday they rushed to ship it and it arrived this evening. Gotta give them some credit there. Not in a hurry to make another order though.

    The Last Time You Saw...

    Seen plenty. Never bothered myself mind you, despite a few questionable situations.

    Bikers-Leathers?

    So, my last email got their attention and the guy called me. They didnt even have my order right. My original order had some socks in it. He called me that day to tell me they stopped selling them, so I substituted a (more expensive) t-shirt I didnt really want just to get the free shipping. On...

    Bikers-Leathers?

    Well its been 15 days now. No response to two emails. My patience is wearing thin. I asked them either for an approximate delivery date or a refund. If I continue to be stonewalled I'm doing a chargeback next week. I get they are busy but its not really my problem.

    Bikers-Leathers?

    I agree Karen I dont like the poor communication either. I dont plan on making a fuss about it, but it is bad business. Delays happen, but communication is important. I'd say I wouldnt order from there again, but some of these fire sales might be hard to resist, lol.

    Bikers-Leathers?

    I tried several times last week but kept getting a busy signal. I'll try again on Monday.
