    The Bad Riders of Ontario Thread

    fast riding isn't necessarily bad riding - if they had crashed into you then your post might make more sense whiney posts like this remind me of a Carlin joke: "Have you ever noticed that anyone driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone driving faster than you is a MANIAC!!?"

    Tell me again why you need hyper-sport tires on the street?

    nobody "needs" a hypersport tire but if you don't commute or put that many miles on in a season anymore it's nice to have the grip in reserve for occasionally horsing around. I used to run sporty rubber in the front and sport touring in the rear but sometimes in "fun" road situations the rear...

    Sunday Morning Rides are Over - Cyclists win.

    who cares - we should all be riding bicycles anyway, it's ok to have to pass them multiple times plus give me a break most people don't come to a complete stop at stop signs in vehicles either - I know I don't if there's nobody around, it saves a lot of $$$ on gas. the hate and...

    What is up with people?

    I don't need to know your current rate of pay to understand what is going wrong for you - in younger times I worked many a hard job and watched people try them out, and then leave when they realized the rate of pay didn't align with the difficulty - this is not unique to today's economy but we...

    What is up with people?

    the people leaving obviously tried out the work and decided that it wasn't worth the currency they would get in a return you guys are making this an emotional thing, like "why should they have to get more $$$, why don't they WANT to work" when it's much simpler and likely purely economic that...

    What is up with people?

    I am not suggesting they engage in charity - I am explaining the gap in their current staffing practices that they can close to help with the issue the OP described. concurrently, writing your MP to the effect of "my business is being severely impacted by the lack of action on housing - can...

    Sunday Morning Rides are Over - Cyclists win.

    I find it funny to read motorcyclists hating on cyclists...do your criticisms not remind of you anything? "they don't follow the laws!!" "they think they own the road!!" "they need to change their behavior so my much more justified use of the road can continue unabated" - car people bitching...

    What is up with people?

    people are saying its not about the pay - but really its always about the pay with work if the gov't continues to fail to address housing affordability, businesses that rely on paying as low as possible to stay competitive will consistently have to give raises or be stuck with the absolute...

    Group Ride Ignores ‘Groups of 5+’ and ‘Physical Distancing’

    Wasn't on the ride, but if I was I would have followed the organizers guidelines to make sure to keep my distance from other folks and be safe. My post was just to try to give some perspective to people on this site who should really sell the expensive paperweight they have in the garage and...

    Group Ride Ignores ‘Groups of 5+’ and ‘Physical Distancing’

    This thread to me embodies everything wrong with most "motorcyclists" on this board and probably in the province in general - people who do barely, and can hardly, ride their machines arm-chairing everyone else and totally ready to get on board with authoritarian measures that negatively impact...

    This is How You Pass A Motorcycle Licence Test In California

    You can also just take the MSF class and then take your passing certificate to the DMV, pass your written, and you will get your full license. The test is harder in CA, but most people that are new don't take it.

    Introducing Tenaci-Wong Canada

    The product is competing in a space against products from other countries with better labor and human rights standards, so while it may be true that some small number of Canadian jobs will be there - eventually jobs that support the products from other places will be lost. "Who cares, I just...

    Introducing Tenaci-Wong Canada

    It depends on how big your tin foil hat is - but the Chinese market is not open to our products, if we wanted to sell a Canadian-made motorcycle there we would need to build a factory there or it wouldn't even be allowed (tariffs on their side that would ensure it was prohibitive). There is no...

    Introducing Tenaci-Wong Canada

    The build quality is immaterial - we should not be supporting our #1 rival/enemy in the world economically. We already do that involuntarily in many ways - in ways we have a choice...100% no.

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    Review the video twice and a couple of things become really apparent: The CRV sped up to try to prevent the bike from getting in, and even though he did this, he still barely had to brake. The bike did not "cut off" anyone, he was merging into traffic. And to you "all the best" type people -...

    Visiting good ol' ONT for a month, looking to get in some riding

    Hi, I am living in LA now, but enjoying a brief visit back to Ontario. Would love for someone to show me some of the good bike roads, as I wasn't into riding when I used to live here. I've ridden CR9 near Creemore, hoping there is a longer twistier section of road I don't know about yet...
