    Clarification on lane splitting?

    Wikileaks is different than wikipedia, I would get my facts straight if I were you. Looks like the one that has no idea what he's talking about is you. In any case, I will take wikipedia's word over yours. I mentioned earlier that I do not split or filter (whatever that means). The fact that a...

    Clarification on lane splitting?

    Well, let's see : Lane splitting is riding a bicycle or motorcycle between rows of vehicles traveling in lanes in the same direction. More narrowly, it refers to overtaking rows of slow or stopped vehicles by traveling between them.[1][2] It is also sometimes called lane sharing...

    Clarification on lane splitting?

    I am a good chap, and I follow the rules, I do not filter or split. I am talking about the idea of filtering, and about the fact that I think that the law is wrong. I am not simply drinking the government koolaid like you do, progress is made when status quo is challenged, even if it's only on a...

    Clarification on lane splitting?

    That is precisely the social norm I was talking about. 90% of the world allows filtering, because yes, bikes do accelerate faster from the light and can use the space between cars. I simply do not understand how am I showing disrespect to the cagers around me if I am filtering slowly on the DVP...

    Clarification on lane splitting?

    At the grocery store you DO delay everyone if you go in front. By filtering, you do NOT, on the contrary, so your analogy does not apply. It was not a question if it's legal or not. My point was about what's socially acceptable, and laws and more importantly enforcement derive from that.

    Clarification on lane splitting?

    If more of us would do it, society would just accept it and it would become the "norm". Filtering is not "legal" in many jurisdictions around the world, however it is accepted (see California, where it was only formally legalized just now). So no, I don't see filtering as self entitlement. Self...

    Lucky day

    From what I know, and I may be wrong, cops at the construction sites are there on their "off" days, making an extra buck in the process, so that may explain why they don't give a flying f***

    LED CREE headlights , better than halogen/hid

    I got these for my Daytona http://daytonamotorsport.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=96 Let's just say I had to get VERY creative with the installation. It's not plug and play. I was not able to mount back the headlight housing since the heatsink/fan is too large, so this is where I had to be...

    Dreaming - Lottery Win - What would you do ?

    I would build an extremely twisty suspended highway from York Region to downtown, free for motorcycles and very expensive for cars. No speed limits.

    Motorcycle Lean Angles Explained - MotoGP vs. WSBK

    I agree with being pointless to continue, with the note that a force being fictitious does not mean it doesn't exist.

    Motorcycle Lean Angles Explained - MotoGP vs. WSBK

    Hmm, really? What does leaning off the bike has to do with all this stuff? You're canceling the centrifugal force using your gravitational pull, so that the resulting force goes through the tire contact patch (the object base). The harder you lean, the more upright the bike...simple stuff... But...

    Ontario should make winter tires mandatory.

    Well, if you live in the country side where roads are not plowed as often, ok, I get it, but in the GTA, I would spend my money on a set of winter tires, not on AWD. The average Joe Commuter does not need AWD, needs winter tires. Many people rely on the fact that they have AWD when winter comes...
