How to get in/out of a Ferrari. Looks really small and low. Probably seems to come out of nowhere like motorcycles, and startles those being passed.

I haven't seen any that say it's legal. Here's Quebec's where it's illegal, especially while cycling. https://saaq.gouv.qc.ca/en/road-safety/behaviours/distractions/what-law-says

Here's another from BC CTV that's the same: https://bc.ctvnews.ca/can-you-legally-wear-headphones-while-driving-1.1615620 I know that the M2X courses I've seen, they all used the single earphone.

Have a Garmin XT. Had a Schuberth C3 Pro with a Cardo Freecom 4+, which worked well except that the music volume control was on the wrong device. Make sure you test, before a long ride, and not during one. The problem is that the Cardo is best stuck onto the Schuberth, which is technically...

Go to a course where they do progressive or emergency braking. If the people there aren’t skilled, they are at least working to become so. Check your braking distance and speed compared to them. I’m good on my ABS equipped bike, under all weather conditions. That’s not to say that I don’t...

October 7th? What would they celebrate on Oct 7th?

If that was truly the case, everyone would still have a working Honda in their garage.

Had a WeeStrom that just had an early version of ABS. It did extremely well when braking against other students at courses; especially, when they didn’t have ABS. New Tiger has cruise, which is almost required when travelling long distances at 85 mph in the U.S. A drawback is that the service...

I was told that Gortex is waterproof or breathable, never both at the same time. For the most part, I wear something breathable, and carry a waterproof jacket. I did notice this year, that the jacket and pants are good on a motorcycle, but poor off of one. Rain was going down my neck, and...

I always like a big windscreen now, but it depends on your height, where you go and how fast you travel. Doing 85 mph in the States definitely gets tiring in the wind. For me, even doing 80 kph, I don't like the wind on my chest, and I have stubby legs and a long torso.

Friend and I did a course today.

Sounds like Tarzan, John Carter of Mars et al. Just listened to a podcast. Are they ok here or separate?

Had a free one at Costco a month ago. Getting some wax cleaned out at the doctor’s Thursday, and a second test next week. No cost has been mentioned. I will probably end up with hearing aids. Many of the hearing aid shops offer free tests.

Make sure the bolts screwing the cleats to the shoes are tightened. I lost one and it caused the shoes to not unclip. How are people dealing with the multitude of unlicensed uninsured electric motorcycles flipping between bike lanes, roads and sometimes sidewalks? Do you just avoid Toronto?

It's getting colder, but the Leafs don't fall until the end of April. It's not Autumn yet, but on average Sept. 27th is good if you're looking for red leaves in Algonquin.

Was following a truck yesterday from Tweed. No lights at all on the trailer, and the boat hid the trucks lights. This is a no brainer.
