I've been waiting for over 3 years - they can't seem to get their act together to put on any clinics ?

I just re-registered AGAIN - we'll see what happens.
this is pretty cool actually. gonna sign up.Didn't see this posted but perhaps we could help prevent some fatalities:
Rise in motorcyclist fatalities prompts free first aid training for riders
An organization is sounding the alarm on motorcyclists deaths and to combat the issue partnering with the Red Cross to offer life-saving training.toronto.citynews.ca

Training can't hurt. It's also applicable to any accident where people are injured and awaiting EMS.
There are some accidents where extreme trauma means survival is not possible. Other, less severe, accidents might involve cardiac, airway, life threatening bleeding issues, etc...... This is where first aid training and the proper supplies on hand could made the difference between someone surviving or not.

Pretty sure I signed up with Bikerdown and they were in the process of getting some clinics organized but Covid came along.
I was skeptical with the high rate of motorcycle accidents a rider somehow be involved in stated by Bikerdown but later found myself on scene of a motorcycle accident.
Driver needs to be educated as well. G1 G2 G process, motorcycle awareness are hardly mentioned. But that cost money.
Ontario HTA "education" is enforced through fines, suspension and impound (money maker)
Who are actually getting hurt or killed? Is it the squid doing wheelies down the 401 with no plates breaking all the HTA rules or is it the middle aged man with his wife on the back with no gear and half a helmet doing everything legally.

When they're lying on the road in deep sh*t it doesn't really matter, does it ?

When I sold a bike last year I had a guy who was all ready to buy. But he refused to meet at his house (the bike was at my sister's house; she has nice stuff and I didn't want people seeing them).
Fine, but then he refused to go with me to the MTO to transfer ownership, and said he would refuse to show me any ID on his part. "Dude, the cops don't care" were his words. Right then I was *pretty* sure I knew what kind of person I was dealing with.
So I in turn refused to sell him the bike. He was still begging me to sell it to him the day after I sold it someone else.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, it all started when I casually asked how he was going to get the bike home. I was curious because my first buyer ended up bailing when he realized he wouldn't be able to ride it home without a safety. He said he had some plates and he would just stick one on it and ride it home. I was not cool with that.
