    Did they legalize lane-splitting/filtering or is it 'do as I say...'?

    A typical group ride would have a group of 2-8 riders share the same lane, in a stagger formation. The group wouldn't be split among different lanes unless there is an emergency. I also approve of splitting/filtering, within limits of safety, but am calling out the ones who'd be writing...

    Did they legalize lane-splitting/filtering or is it 'do as I say...'?

    1) Do you really think a couple of bike cops would have just continued sitting there after a couple of cagers decided to squeeze into their spots in the lanes? 2) I don't know how many group rides you went on, but my groups would stay within a single lane. That is why it's more plausible that...

    Did they legalize lane-splitting/filtering or is it 'do as I say...'?

    That's because KIA/Hyundai SUV's of today are the Civics of yesterday - driven by the lowest common denominator. I wouldn't be surprised with one of them pulling up to a bike to share the lane space but I would be surprised if the bike was ridden by a cop and the KIA left without the driver...

    Did they legalize lane-splitting/filtering or is it 'do as I say...'?

    While I agree with the statement, you know that if a cop was sitting in a lane and a cager pulled up next to them in the same lane, they'd be writing them a ticket. That's why it's a lot more likely that those 2 cops just lane-split their way to the front of the line.

    Did they legalize lane-splitting/filtering or is it 'do as I say...'?

    I drove up to that.. But let's put it this way.. If 2 cops on cruisers were 'holding hands' across 2 lanes and 2 different cagers decided to get into each lane, those cops would be getting out their ticket-books lol

    Did they legalize lane-splitting/filtering or is it 'do as I say...'?

    Been a while since I've owned the bike so I wanted to see if they legalized lane-splitting or if these cops are just doing it because they can get away with it because they're Peel cops?

    Apple warning

    Just came across this on a British tech site. Off yer bike: Apple warns motorcycles could shake iPhone cameras out of focus forever That's as official as it can get. I personally wouldn't touch any of their stuff with a 10' pole but I can see how people uncomfortable with tech, who like a...

    TAFB/Jamie

    Wow, I just got the news and couldn't believe it. While his risk management skills may have been worthy of a review, he was the nicest guy ever, 'shirt off his back' type, passionate about his hobbies; his passion was contagious and swayed many into trying out his hobbies. I was looking forward...

    Going for first resolution in court tomorrow...but.....

    The driver of the vehicle you collided with doesn't have to be there. The Crown only needs for one of the two other witnesses to show up and say that you ran a red light. The hike depends on the insurer. You'd basically be working with an at-fault and a minor conviction. Sometimes you can get...

    Cable Lube alternatives?

    Standard chain lube since you'd already have it on your shelf, does the job and a pressurised spray works great with one of these.. Just stick the straw in the hole and squirt away :) P.S. Innuendo was intentional

    Pedestrian flashing red countdown = don't cross?

    Making a turn in downtown, at any time of day is bad enough as it is right now. I shudder to think what it would look like if our provincial government decided to go full libtard.

    Pedestrian flashing red countdown = don't cross?

    One problem is that the cities don't try to educate their citizens. In Toronto's case it's deliberate. A while back I came across the city's position on the issue, which is pretty self-explanatory.. http://www.toronto.ca/311/knowledgebase/68/101000049368.html So, the law says that it's illegal...

    Release from hospital

    Glad you're doing better Hedo! By the way, I'm not sure about the ankle, but I ended up taking out my clavicular plate. Bothered me when my wife would put her head on my shoulder or when I was doing certain exercises like push-ups. Been at least as good as new ever since. Hopefully you'll get...

    Pedestrian flashing red countdown = don't cross?

    Yeah, they are getting as bad as cyclists. They don't even want to use those wide, beautiful, unobstructed sidewalks that we have in Toronto. I moved here decades ago from a European city where the sidewalks are less than half the width and are used for parking. No, those ****tards walk or roll...

    Pedestrian flashing red countdown = don't cross?

    Thanks! That's what I basically assumed but with so many pedestrians getting up in arms when I'd give'em some Stebel Nautilus (or Chinese knockoff thereof) lovin', I wanted to be 100% sure I was legally in the clear :cool:

    Pedestrian flashing red countdown = don't cross?

    So what happens if a motor vehicle is making a right turn on green and a pedestrian begins to cross during countdown?

    Pedestrian flashing red countdown = don't cross?

    I am almost positive on this one but just wanted to confirm. If there's a flashing red and a countdown at a pedestrian crossover, it means the same as red pedestrian light - finish if you already started but don't start crossing?

    50 shot dead - Orlando shooting

    The lowest number of self-defensive uses of firearms (as I noted in another post), touted by Liberal propagandists was in the 55,000-80,000 ballpark. When you consider the fact that they have about 10,000 gun homicides a year, I'd say that any rational CBA would indicate that guns are definitely...

    50 shot dead - Orlando shooting

    Aaaaaaaaand it wasn't an AR, not that I expect for the Libtarded types to tone down their rhetoric now that they really got into dancing on top of the graves, while the earth is still fresh...

    50 shot dead - Orlando shooting

    US gun death numbers in recent years have been in the 30-35,000 ballpark, with about 1/3 homicides, 2/3 suicides, and those numbers are commonly available from many sources. The lowest estimate, frequently touted by anti-gunners is the David Hemenway figure - 55,000–80,000 of defensive gun uses...
