I think that's your answer. You're guilty, but it's like going 5kmh over the speed limit - was a ticket really necessary?

And that's what makes it fun, because you don't have to go ripping through as fast as you can to enjoy it. Nick Ienatsch said it way back in 1991, and it's still so very relevant: http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/pace

Seriously? Is that true? I passed another rider today as he was sitting still in the adjacent lane. I thought wtf? Does he no know? Is he not even curious enough to google it and find out? But then he was, as they say, outta sight, outta mind.

Hedo said it earlier - you "might" get a ticket for not sharing the lane. It's not explicitly prohibited. There's no reason you can't stop side-by-side at a stop sign or stop light, but if it's an all-way stop you better be careful about not taking someone else's right of way. Thing is, if...

The problem with the hazards is that they are predetermined, and may not actually appear to be hazards to you. A specific driveway, or gas station entrance for example. You see it, you see it's clear, but you don't turn your head to look as you get closer...if there is no head movement "in the...

So what's the answer, can we use them or not? Okay, okay, I'm an *****. Would it help people to think about it the way the lanes are already regulated? The provincial government has their collective heads up their ***** and will not allow motorcycles. Outside this temporary designation, a...

I may have lost the relative positions of the parties during this lengthy debate, but it seems a critical component of this argument (which I've underlined, above) is what "most people" do. Pick 5 people at random and ask what speed they drive/ride. There will be some difference (unless they...

Was he gaining anything from it, or using any type of authority or implying any type of authority for or over anything? It's still wrong, but I think there's a big difference between "dressing up as" and "impersonating". It also depends on the context.....

Canada's Motorcycle return policy is fantastic. I ordered stuff to try on, sent it back to get the right size. Easy as can be. I've received stuff the next day if I order it early enough in the day. Free shipping for orders over $50.

I do understand the distinction, which is why I pointed out that the MTO site includes on the MAP ONLY, the Gardiner and Lakeshore. I suppose the city streets will be listed in "Appendix 2 attached to the supplementary report from the General Manager"...

First post in almost a year! What compelled you to clarify this specific point when there we so many other opportunities?

This would have been an excellent opportunity to test the impact on allowing motorcycles in the lanes. The government wouldn't have to commit to anything, and could record some valid usage data.

If you're a year away from eligibility and you're PLANNING to find an easier place to do your test, your priorities are out of order. Your focus should be on skills development and having fun. Enjoy the bike - you've nearly 5 years and no reason to rush. Learn the techniques, practice the...

With respect to the brake light and stopping in gear with feet up/down, a couple of people have already linked to a previous post about what the examiner is actually looking for. You don't have to remain absolutely still without moving your feet - and it doesn't matter if you were in neutral...

The Examiner will ask you, unless they are familiar with the bike, if it is equipped with 4-way flashers (hazard lights). If the bike is so equipped, you must use them on the roadside stop. Failing to use them is a demerit point. IF your bike is not equipped with flashers, you can leave your...

Matching boots and gloves. you can tell from the varied responses that "passing" is pretty much a given. We do the test - we observe and mark what we see. We don't get to choose who to pass or fail (with some exceptions). The thing about taking the course is that you learn more about WHY...

That's for certain...but we've all seen drivers and riders that HAVE passed the G2 Exit or M2 Exit test...and probably shouldn't be riding on the road. The ability to exhibit enough of the desired behaviours for the length of a test doesn't necessarily mean someone is ready. It's just the...

I'm not sure it's confirmed yet, but I believe our intention (Humber) is to start the first weekend in April. It is Easter, though, so it may depend on demand.

In a way, I agree. In another way, there is that distinction between "needing" it to pass the test, and choosing it because they may learn something they didn't know. I've met a lot of people who knew everything there was to know about riding before they came in for their M. I've met a lot...
