Richmond is closed west of Yonge today due to an oil spill of some sort. Very slippery around there as you make the turn onto Yonge. Not sure how long it's going to take them to clean it up.

Much needed bump.

I always found getting it off the centre stand much trickier. I let my first bike lean away from me once and dropped it (on a curb). That definitely scarred me! My heart would race the next few times I had to do maintenance. Not trying to freak you out or anything. :D

You: Black ninja with pink-coated rims (sweet bike, btw). A guy with a van backed into your bike just as I was sitting down for a drink. I didn't see it but someone else pointed it out. I went to get his plates and talk to him. He was asking me why I care if it's not my bike. Damage was very...

A wasp hit me in the eye at low speed (maybe doing 15-20). I only realized it was a wasp when I saw it crawling inside my helmet, near my mouth. I came to a quick, very undignified stop at an intersection (feet flapping all over the place) and it thankfully flew out.

Saw a guy with a prosthetic leg riding a can-am. I have a feeling those things are a miracle for people with disabilities who still want to get a similar rush to that of riding a motorcycle. Let's just hope that we can all enjoy ours for as long as we feel like. So no, I don't feel like they...

Troll or not, I'm glad the popular opinion appears to be swayed by logic and not crazy, unfounded claims.

Ha! Did you stick out your hand at first and then pretend you really meant to scratch your leg instead?

Lots of riders out today. I suffered through the DVP northbound traffic with a two-upping red ninja 250. I'll get one of those integrated visor helmets as soon as I can justify buying a new one! Ran into a scooter riding group on Leslie, north of Bloomington Rd. Cool!

Wow. That's pretty amazing and it makes me feel bad for getting mine elsewhere a few months ago. It was $1,000 off and I thought I was getting a great deal.

Write to/call your MPP in a civilized, well-argued matter. Won't do anything but it won't hurt either. If more people created some noise, who knows what would happen? Also, I disagree that if speed limits were increased that people would speed even more. There's a natural flow of traffic (~120)...

I, for one, enjoyed his writing style.

Nice of the truck drivers in the other lane to stop and go check on the rider while the driver was inspecting his car for damage...

I have a Bell gradient shield that lets me see through the more clear part of it if I tilt my head backwards sligtly. That said, the lid is probably not that dark even at its darkest cause I see fine at night. Especially on the highways where incoming headlights are sometimes so bright, I'm...

Red ninja at the Northbound DVP exit at Bloor last night, riding behind my gf and I who were in a car. A cop turned his lights on behind him but made a u-turn and went for someone else. Rider kept going riding normally, keeping his distance etc. When we got to the Bloor lights, we heard sirens...

Not as good of a media sound bite as 200 km/h.

bump

I dislike Apple for various reasons, but that doesn't make any sense. They are the ones who completely changed the market with the iphone. As for your link, if you really want to run android apps, you can just buy an android phone rather than jump through hoops (see link you posted) and...

Dropped my (now almost) brand new fazer on Sunday trying to put it up on a rear stand as well. I was holding it with one hand while looking over and trying to fit the right spool onto the stand. Before I knew it, I had tipped it a little too far. Thank heavens for the otherwise ill-fitting ebay...

Pointing out how there are now apps for bb that were available on Android or iOS years ago is a slippery slope. For me (like others in this thread), it's about evaluating my options and choosing a platform that meets my needs. I had tried BB in the iphone 4 days (incomparable, really) and ended...
