Sturgess cycle in hamilton has a few demo bikes, from all the makes they carry: triumph, kawi, honda... i think suzuki. i've never had a problem getting a test ride on a bike from them. They're a stand-up dealer as well.

yea, it is .125, 1/8, thick. the only reason i recommend foam over the felt is that the foam generally comes with better adhesive. also, if it doesnt squish enough, a razor blade and you can slice it as thin as you want, the stuff cuts fairly smoothly.

try out any craft stores: Michael's Curry's those are the two biggest craft store chains i can think of. WalMart may even carry adhesive felt in their crafts department. Although I am not sure how well the felt will adhere, it might not be as durable an adhesive as you'd like. Some...

moose.... moose love salt, they lick it up off the road all the time... you need lots of moose...

Exactly. and the court will not discount these things. An offence was committed, or so it seems. IF they are found guilty, all those considerations will be taken into account when deciding the penalty. But those considerations dont negate the fact that an offence was committed. edit: sorry...

law school.... join the dark side :)

well... in that case, i'll recommend the fz6, or even an fz1. both sporty-ish bikes. and great tourers. they come with or without fairings. the fz6r is an updated fz6 with less top end power. R6>FZ6>FZ6R, from a performance standpoint. Although i think they stopped fz6's around 2008/9, making...

very different situations. yes, you get the 407 bill, but that bill isnt because you drove on the 407, its because your car was there, that is hte only identification. they cannot prove it was you. when you get a red light camera ticket, they send you a letter with a fine, BUT you dont get any...

This is definitely not the case everywhere, the 403 from hamilton during rush hour (morning or evening) is packed in the direction of traffic. the lane is almost bumper to bumper and the cars are doing a steady 70km/h compared to the dead stop-10km/h of the regular lanes... so they work damn...

Meh, there seems to be an argument that city parking is the reason motorcycles should use highway HOV lanes. because motorcycles would save space on parking. i am just saying that pound for pound. motorcycles are a less efficient use of space.

but what you are blinding yourself to is the fact that there will have to be more motorcycles on the road to move the same amount of people, each travelling with 2s headway. ie. lets move 10 people... 2cars + 2s headway. BUT with motorcycles... 5 motorcycles + 2s headway. The bikes will take...

its all luck of the draw i suppose. been driving on one for years, never gotten pulled over.

Neither... proper formation for bikes would be.... I . I I . I cant be sharing lanes... thus taking up more physical space than a car/van

oh i see, i was out of hte loop for a while. Also, regarding the "green" cars in my earlier post. it seems that they will only be allowed in those lanes until june 2015. So, it would seem to me that the province is tightening up on who is allowed in, and they seem to be limiting it only to...

not being pedantic at all. but i agree, the PURPOSE is to reduce congestion (according to the site), the MEANS by which achieving this purpose is providing a reward to people that give up the convenience of having their own car with them by giving them a fast moving lane, thus there is an...
