My CBR is up for sale, and I have a deposit on a new (to me) CBR650F. It's out of town, and if I don't sell mine over the weekend (don't really expect to) then I will likely trade it in on the new one. I don't want the hassle of trying to store two bikes while I sell one. Anyway, a common...

I may be involved in organizing or sponsoring an event for entrepeneurs and early stage companies that are considering going public. In similar events in the past, the common thread that ran through the entire event was that all were riders - the attendees and the presenters. We may need...

After turning down, or otherwise missing a couple of opportunities in each of the last 10 years, I finally made it to Deals Gap. Six of us went, two of us for the first time. There are a ton of videos on youtube of this road, and of course I posted one from the resort to the overlook, just...

On many days, the parking enforcement officer comes around lunch time and chases away all the limo drivers that are parked or stopped on Front between Bay and Yonge. What's more aggravating to me is when they're there in the morning, sitting in parking spots. They're technically stopped, not...

Re: bikes knocked down on front street 3 damaged I thought at first a car must have hit the FZR and knocked it over, then the scooter parked afterwards. Then I noticed fresh scratches on the road, black scuff marks, and a bunch of damage to the scooter. So my bet is that the scooter was...

I'm getting a 50 cc scooter because .....well just because. I've always wondered if I had both, what would be the determining factor each day when I decide what to take. Frankly, for my commute I certainly don't need the power of a 600cc sport bike, but I like taking the hwy for my route. And...

I don't know how strong the battery is, or if it's okay because they're all LED lights, but I'm pointing it out anyway. If you want to check the LP to verify it's yours, pm me.

Parking enforcement on Front Street between Bay and Yonge has been "cracking down" lately. One day a truck was ticketed while pouring concrete (I guess the officer compared to the paper shredding guys. Other contractor vehicles have been ticketed, and standing limos ordered to move on. Today...

This was parked on the sidewalk yesterday - electric. But then I saw this, and wondered if it's turned on, does he have to park on the street? Do a lot of e-bikes have this? There are speakers on each side of the seat, I'm not sure if there are more or how loud it actually is. Imagine...

In a recent thread about a specific scenario (lane position while stopped in a dedicated left turn lane), there was a lot of discussion about blocking position, the handbook, the M2 Exit test, and the real world. From that thread, and others that have popped up, it's apparent that even though...

1999 and still beautiful

Here's a current photo (May 22) of what it should look like every day. I've identified with red arrows the posts that define the boundaries. That's all there is on the north side for the entire block. Ticketing has been aggressive recently for all vehicles parked outside those boundaries, or...

This came up a little while ago about scooters on sidewalks, and the informal approach taken by the parking control officers. Here's what TPS is doing about it: Toronto Police Service, Parking Enforcement Unit, Sidewalk/Boulevard Parking Campaign, Monday, May 13, 2013 Monday, May 13, 2013 -...

....how long as that Toronto Motorcycle Show ad been up there with the spelling mistake in it?

During an M2 Exit test, candidates are required to execute a roadside stop. A rider on a bike equipped with hazard lights must use them, or it is scored as an error. If the bike is not so equipped, the examiner can't score an error for the signals. This changed shortly after graduated...

I've visited the site several times over the years, and finally decided to join. I commute daily to the financial district downtown T.O. about 9 months of the year. I've been teaching for 24 years - and learning for a lot longer. When I'm asked how often I ride, I like to say I practice twice...
