    Paying 6000$ for insurance !!!

    I got bored of my CBR600 so I sold it and chased (and passed) some 1000's with my CBR125. https://youtu.be/dtXdzX5i28E?t=10m14s Riding a 600SS on the street isnt that fun (unless you dont plan to keep your license)...Nor would it be the best use of your money to spend $6000/year riding it.

    So I've decided to do a loop to go to West-Nebraska, up to Black Hills+Badlands NP in South Dakota, Then east/south back to lincoln for the 2 days that I'm there. I thought trying to find interesting destinations in Nebraska and all I found were museums. All the good stuff is on the West side...

    MTO response to single rider HOV request

    From what I gather from the response, what they are saying is that HOV lanes are relatively new and when it was implemented, the focus was more on moving more people with fewer vehicles. It seems like single motorcycle riders were excluded not because there was a particular reason to be...

    Anything interesting in.....Nebraska?

    I'll check these out. I had my most boring rides through Nebraska. I'm willing to venture 3-4 hours from Lincoln Nebraska...maybe a little more if theres something really good.

    Dear moron riding the blue R6 in HOV lane this morning!

    I highly agree with this statement of riding in the left tire track on HOV. While blocking position is merely a suggestion/guideline, in certain situations like riding the HOV lane, I believe that it is quite dangerous to ride the right tire track in blocking position. Drivers generally do not...

    Dirt biking before M1 exit?

    You'll learn valuable skills in the dirt and it will put you ahead of the game in terms of completing the M1X successfully. I also practise moto-gymkhana skills riding with a couple of people every Tuesday evening near DVP/Eglington. You'll pretty much get all the practise, tips, pointers you...

    How fast do you go in HOV lane?

    The safest speed would be determined by the relative speed between you and those around you. As a rule of thumb, if traffic is moving I usually stick within a 15 km/h speed differential so that I dont get many surprises, with some exceptions depending on traffic flow and volume.

    Close call with CHP Cruiser

    Pretty scary. Although lane splitting is allowed in California, I would have used a little bit more caution when approaching flashing CHP lights...

    Making a trip to Edmonton Alberta on an SS, tips?

    Where there is a will, theres a way... Drysack, bungee cords, and tail bag. Good for my 18 days of travel.

    Insuring a young rider

    From the insurer's point of view, its the only way they can protect themselves. Under a single policy/bike, lets assume the new rider has a high chance of crashing, while the mature rider has a low chance of crashing. The client can claim that the occasional rider only rides 25% of the time...

    Lane Splitting Tap

    Out of the 5 months that I've been riding in California and splitting traffic, I've only had to make an evasive manoeuvre once... I wouldnt have been going as fast as that biker while splitting but it seems like he anticipated that it would happen.

    CHP Study Finds Lane-Splitting No More Dangerous Than Just Riding a Motorcycle*

    I'm currently working and riding in California and have been splitting/filtering since I've been here. During rush hour when traffic is stopped at traffic lights, filtering helps a whole lot in getting to where you want faster. Drivers are generally more aware of you and some will even move out...

    Which one of you almost hit the guardrail the other night?

    Nothing wrong with calling in impaired drivers, I've done it a few times as well. Looking back, its possible that they were impaired, but at the time my opinion they just lacked skill and awareness. First thing I noticed was that their lane position was wrong and they were not riding in proper...

    Which one of you almost hit the guardrail the other night?

    iTronics ITB200HD. Most dashcams will track speed via GPS but most people turn that feature off. I dont really speed much so I dont really care that its on.
