Of course, you will have to set up a ride and drive. One round of course in the tack, one round on bike.

Given the new rules about smoking, I'm thinking of organizing a ride from town to somewhere we can sit and enjoy a havana in relative peace. A native reserve would be good, since I understand it's legal to smoke one you buy there. A good cigar takes 45mins of being undisturbed. Thinking...

It seems like it is not criminalizing the patch, but "civilizing" it, since trademark infringements are generally civil, not criminal cases. It would be interesting to see what a court case fighting the seizure would look like. It is a means of harassing the groups instead of detecting or...

I know the area. You are close to the Allen and 4mins from the 401. North on the 400 will take you to King and across to Nobleton, up 27 to Schomberg area. Worth exploring. It's country, a few cafes. There is nothing east but scarborough. Avoid. the DVP will take you up to Simcoe area, but not...

Nobody drives late model American cars except people who work for the government in one way or another, and even if that weren't true, someone who drives one has already broadcast their history of poor decision making. Either way, not someone you want to be anywhere near at speed.

Does anyone have any memory at all about Super Sport, it was at Avenue rd and Davenport, just outside Yorkville from the late 1970s? Yamaha, Ducati, not sure what else. Would be interested to hear about it.

Over every hill and around every blind bend. If you can't see around it, assume they are there. Every raised highway on-ramp by a bridge, every school yard, and at the end of every long straight stretch. Just when you think there is no reason, there are the planes and helicopters and red light...

The gravel sometimes looks like it was swept out there by a pissy local. As someone who has been out there a fair bit, don't go, it's over rated and not worth the trip. The gravel is too dangerous, I strongly recommend that other motorcyclists stay away. Police everywhere, wild dogs, deer...

Just read a book that about covers it: http://www.jack-donovan.com/axis/start-here/

Privacy policy link doesn't work, but the app store says what permissions it needs. I'm surprised the license agreement doesn't contractually obligate you to allow arbitrary representatives of the app developer to put their finger in your butt. This app has access to these permissions...

The city won't make much from the parking fees, it's the fine revenue from tickets they want because that's where the real money is. Let's keep this thread alive until the election and see if we can swing votes against anti-motorcycle politicians. The "nothing in life is free" argument is...

There have been a few "car hacking" technologies developed. The most recent one was last summer for a hacker conference. I think they were able to use the bluetooth linked entertainment system to get into the canbus and start issuing commands to the ecu. I don't have much of a background on it...

Tinfoil, it's the new black: "The RF Safe-Stop uses radio frequency pulses to "confuse" a vehicle's electronic systems, cutting its engine... [...] suggested the machine's ability to stop motorbikes "safely" could prove particularly useful." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-25197786...

You know, there is a more nuanced way of expressing that in a way that captures the rational skepticism everyone should have as it relates to their own interests in a situation where someone is exercising power. A bad attitude is kind of self-fulfilling. In terms of the original topic, these...

So these stealth cars, someone else called them undercover cars. We're talking about the blue-on-blue speed-trap cars or are there actual undercovers in traffic? What kind of world do we live in anyway..

I give more credit to someone who rides a bike. If you ride a motorcycle, even if you are a prick, you probably have a better sense of what it means to take responsibility for yourself, you don't have many wishy washy opinions about what society owes you, and in other areas of your life you are...

There are race exhausts that use different manifolds for performance, and the prior art in F1 with their ceramic coatings shows that you can make a performance difference. I'm not really interested in extra performance out of a giant V-twin. The idea of changing the sound is that it changes the...

Didn't Quebec do the same thing with their custom built high security courthouse and holding prison for bikers? I for one am glad Quebec was able to crack down on organized crime and make their cities safe from corruption, and ensure that the extraordinary police powers they instituted were...

I've been looking into commissioning a custom exhaust for a modern HD v-twin off ebay (sometime next year when there is money for it) and I wondered if anyone here has any experience tuning motorcycle exhaust notes with resonators. Is this done? It's a big thing in the luxury car market but I...
