There is still too much gravel on the road. Better to wait for the third week in May before putting out perennials and running from police.

Here is the thread from Southern Ontario Mini Forum. http://www.somc.on.ca/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=36&func=view&id=23143&catid=50&limit=6&limitstart=0 They made the mistake of notifying the police of their group ride. Quote "BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF MINIs INVOLVED, I HAVE BEEN...

It looks good on a police resume when they are cracking down on crimes left, right, and center. We do live in a society where we need police. What we don't need are police who are also judge, jury, and executioner.

This is no joke. It burns me up inside when all of sudden a cop is "my best friend." More often than not they are looking to send someone up sh*t creek to further their own career.

Brother your 225lb weight is too much for a 250cc bike with suspension tuned for a 130lb rider. An overloaded motorcycle suspension is a saftey issue. Wifey's saftey is at risk too. It should be obvious that you are too heavy for the bike when the tire rubs. No one is perfect. Live and learn...

Close. A bike is at maximum braking capability just before the front wheel locks and starts to skid. A bike that tends to stoppie (ie short wheelbase) will flip over way before the front tire locks. The bike does not have a chance to reach maximum braking capability. That implies that the...

Hi Mike.from.canmore Thanks for starting this thread. It seems that many are misinformed on the topic. That is not good because a misinformed rider is an accident waiting to happen. The bright side is this thread may help someone avoid an unscheduled get off. More than enough real world...

Sport motorcycles are not designed with just straight line stopping distance in mind. Their design purpose is for track racing. Acceleration, braking, and cornering. A longer wheel base improves acceleration and braking. Less wheelies. Less stoppies. The downside is that cornering ability...
