    Red light camera ticket for turning right

    Past experience tells me to never go into a negotiation without something in your back pocket. I had none, except a "he said", a right turn on red. So I gave Ceaser his coin. Now I have fitted and tested a dash cam that will be insurance against Popo's automated crap. Which begs the question -...

    Red light camera ticket for turning right

    Thanks for sharing your experience. Guess the "pay up" option is preferrable to dealing with the hassle.

    Red light camera ticket for turning right

    Apparently in Peel, one can request RLC images via email. I have put in a request for photos that actually show the car crossing the white line and a speed reading as proof that the car never stopped. Meanwhile, (as justride has also suggested) I will request an early meeting with Mr...

    Red light camera ticket for turning right

    There is no speed measurement quoted, just this "the redlight was on for 0.8 seconds. The vehicle proceeded through the intersection when the light had been red for 2.2 seconds" Since there is no pic of the vehicle actually past the cross walk or in the intersection, why wouldn't the Traffic...

    Red light camera ticket for turning right

    re: brake lights on doesn't mean stopped. The static snapshot of the vehicle with the brake lights on and not in the intersection is one of the two photos provided (the other is of the vehicle approaching the intersection). Brake lights on, in a static pic can equate to "vehicle stopped". Would...

    Red light camera ticket for turning right

    Adding to the saga ........... I was also the recipient of the similar "surprise" in the mail, a red light camera ticket! "Surprise" because it wasn't me that was driving the vehicle - however it is registered in my name, so I have to deal with it. The wording: The photographs show the vehicle...

    HD demo ride

    no 18 wheeler on site, the gal incharge of the paperwork was a rider instructor (instructress?), the peeps leading the demo rides were not H-D staff - so I am guessing that this may have been a "dealer demo". The head honcho was a guy from the dealership named "Mike".

    HD demo ride

    The HD dealership at Dixie Auto Mall had their demo ride today. The only bike that did not have the feet-forward riding position was the new 975cc Nightster. It was the bike that I chose for the ride, It rode and accelerated well, I was able to keep up with the 1300cc bikes. Surprisingly smooth...

    Quick Shifter

    IMO, depends on your riding style. Had ridden the BMW S1000 equipped with a QS and was impressed by the way it improved rideability, acceleration times and to take corners. My current bike does not have a QS, but with timing the engine speed and throttle, I can do a clutch-less shift, it is a...

    A frugal comms set up...

    Any chance of someone sharing what the universal signals are? (illustrations would be nice!) This way, the newer riders will know and the more experienced riders will be on the same page.

    Aliexpress

    Ordered a oil-fill cap from AE, cost me $25 vs a store price of $60, the quality of the item was the same and the order delivery tracking matched that of Amazon. It was delivered in 12 days vs the ETA of 15 days. Also, was not dinged by custom broker fees. AE used a courier outfit "Apple" for...

    Home office

    India, used to be the go-to for offshoring. That country now has rivals in the Phillipines, Brazil, Colombia, Egypt. IMO, offshore support is largely "reading from a supplied script", nothing to match the "can do" attitude of onshore support and no way do the offshore match the cultural ethos...
