    MotoGP 2025 Discussion Thread *Warning: Spoilers allowed*

    Yeah, Ai Ogura incredible debut in both the sprint and GP races. Last season, when he was in Moto2, he got pole and had the fastest lap at this track - the Chang Circuit clearly suits his riding style. What's amazing is how fast he's adapted from the 765cc triple to the Trackhouse Aprilia GP...

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    Caught this post on Kijiji this morning. 2018 Honda CBR1000RR SP with 50 kms on the odometer. Seller is asking $34,000.00. The older CBR1000s are nice but I'm not sure who would spend this kind of money for an '18. But my first thought, bike has been sitting for ~6 years and will need all the...

    Speed camera threshold?

    It's worth questioning the accuracy and overall reliability of these automated speed cameras as a priority when the city apparently raked in $34 million dollars over a 2-year period from 2020 - 2022. Clearly a cash cow for a city that's desperately cash-strapped. Is it any wonder Tory announced...

    HTA 172

    In my case the OPP officer was unwilling/unable to lower the charge to 49-over on the spot — that scenario (plea bargaining for a lesser charge) is accomplished by contacting the prosecutor, which I've just learned. Within 30 days of receiving your ticket/summons you can meet with a prosecutor...

    Thank you for these suggestions.

    HTA 172

    Yes, it was OPP and yes, I imagine the costs will escalate to that realm given the 14-day impound, towing, et cetera. This is a bitter pill to swallow. The officer was at least good enough to call a local tow service with indoor storage, so my bike won't be sitting outside for 2 weeks in some...

    HTA 172

    I honestly don't know. I have a clean record; this is my first speeding ticket on a motorcycle, I've been riding for 8 years now. I always ride responsibly, wear full gear and never engage in anything resembling aggressive or unsafe riding. I will probably plea bargain to a lesser 49-over, pay...

    HTA 172

    I got pinched yesterday afternoon up on Hockley Road. What a stressful day. The OPP officer said he clocked me doing 100 km/h in a 50km/h zone though I firmly believe I was doing 80km/h in a 70km/h zone. 50 km over is automatic HTA 172 (1) and I experienced the full extent of what that charge...

    2021 MotoGP Discussion (No Links - Contains Spoilers!)

    Good riddance Vinales and good luck over at Aprilia. Does anyone really think Maverick will be battling for podiums early next season as he settles in with a new team/bike? Clearly this whole situation (his deteriorating relationship with Yamaha) has proven distracting: he finished dead last at...

    Trackdays before june 14 ???

    I know that feeling. I'm pushing 50 and find that if I make time to exercise every week - I do a combination of strength training (basics: squats, deadlifts, pull-ups) and cycling (I do 80-100 kms/week) it makes the track days more enjoyable. I also try to go easy on alcohol consumption which is...

    Does anyone know this guy?

    "Over $5,300 in fines" — that's a very expensive lesson, but no doubt warranted. However.. "In a way, though, he’s very likely a product of our own failing. Insurance is cripplingly expensive in this province, so much so that many riders just can’t afford it and they fall into the easy...
