Unfortunately, everybody else has to live with your decision too. Some noise is inevitable in populated areas and most people put up with it in exchange for the fact that said noise serves a greater purpose, e.g., the houses we live in were all built noisily, the trains bring people and goods...

No question those folks exist, Ray, but you seem to sing a one-note song when it comes to H-Ds. I sense some history there. Frankly, it hurts your credibility. Seems to me there are plenty of sport bikes out there with riders who shouldn't be allowed on a tricycle, much less public roads. Just...

Yeah, they do.

Check out the parking at 415 Yonge. Vehicle access is actually off McGill street, but pedestrian access is through 415. Enter the main lobby and take the parking garage elevator to P1. The attendant is on duty during the day and can help you out. No idea what the monthly rate is but the daily...

Yes, it's beautiful and yes, people like to ride there. I can hardly begrudge anyone when I spend my free time doing exactly the same in someone else's neighbourhood. But the sticking point is when people fail to recognise that they are part of a society and as such, should at least try to...

Absolutely. Been going on forever. Variously ascribed to Aristotle, Plato and Socrates: “Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they...

I also enjoy the ones who claim that it's for "safety", when A) the physics of how sound travels doesn't support it and B) they wear half-helmets and t-shirts. I used to live on Highway 10, about 3 kms south of FOTC and much as I like bikes, it got tiresome to hear the cruisers with...

LOL, I'm 55 and fear for the future. I look at the 20-somethings (and some 30-somethings) around me and most of them couldn't figure their way out of a paper bag without Google and Wikipedia. And then post the results to FB or Instagram. Critical thinking is now another lost skill.

I'm not a legal expert, so I can't speak to that aspect of it, but I am a technical writer of many years, for both private and public enterprises. It's not always possible to maintain a parallel structure when creating French and English versions of material; the languages provide for discreet...

Wow. Just.....wow.

I know you were kidding, s'all good.;-)

The semi-colons at the ends of A, B, C and D take the place of the word 'OR', as it is used to qualify the last list item. It is grammatically correct and legally accurate, meaning that at least one of the five listed certifications must be satisfied.

An alternative to Helibars is a set of Gen-Mar risers. I had them on on my CBR1100XX. Easy to install, cost effective, and made an already comfortable bike even more so. http://www.genmarmfg.com/

Good article - from this decade, even - with some insights. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-drive/news/how-old-is-too-old-to-drive/article15584850/

Bump, happening today and tomorrow.

This. Plus the taxes you pay here pay for the roads you ride and the hospitals that patch you up.

Not only that but the gravel is just as likely to take out a rider who is respectfully riding at the posted limit, with quiet pipes, as the ones loudly speeding.

Schwartz's on the Main (St. Laurent Blvd) for smoked meat. Also hit a LaFleur's for steamed hotdogs and fries. Total greasefest and unbelievably good. Lots of good restaurants in St. Henri area of Montreal, still reasonably priced. Globe & Mail has some relevant articles...
