It's great to see some renewed interest. I haven't talked to Yoshi directly for a couple of years, but he's been participating (and winning) in the civilian class at some of the law enforcement seminars (they don't call them competitions). I've been less involved since I retired after 32 years...

thanks everyone, and Baggsy that's the kind of thing I'm looking for. I rode for almost 30 years without any protection, then got diagnosed with mild hearing loss. I wear protection with power tools, at the few concerts I've ever attended, and I don't generally listen to music through ear...

I know lots of people wear earplugs, and earbuds for music and communications, but what about hearing aids? I currently wear the squishy yellow and red disposable plugs. I will be getting fitted for some form of device, and my concerns are: a) can they serve the same purpose as the ear plugs...

One of the underrated benefits of taking a course is that the people who coach you also test you. That's not to say they have an interest in passing you and will let things slide, but rather the opposite: a) They've gone through the lessons with you and coached you to standard equal to or...

I beginning to recognize why so many people think I'm an a-hole, cuz I can't let that go. It's not an exception. Many of the views on this thread are biased this way - as though the requirement is our local highways, and everywhere else gets an exception. The requirement is highways with...

I get your point, but this, (although a very reasonable assumption): "The reason that MTO allowance is there is purely for geographic realities of a province this size. It was never intended to be used to allow any lazy schmo or quivering snowflake from bypassing the controlled-access highway...

What about people (for any license class) that go to a test center outside their own area because the pass rate is higher? While I find it disheartening that "shopping around" is possible, the DriveTest centers are open to Ontario residents, and the test routes meet the minimum requirements...

There's far too much focus here on the 400 series highways being the standard. They are not the standard. We use them on most test routes in the GTA because that's what we're close to. What's the speed limit on the Allen Expressway? It's a limited speed hwy with a higher speed limit. We're...

You're not missing anything, and it's not a loophole. If the test center, and by practical connection the approved test route, is in an area where it is too far from a 400 series hwy, then an 80 or 90 kmh road will suffice (I've tested on such a route in KW). As I mentioned in a previous post...

Exceeding the speed limit is not an automatic failure. IF the traffic in the merging lane was indeed speeding - every single vehicle - then the rider would have to exceed the speed limit to merge, then gradually and smoothly reduce speed to a more reasonable rate. If the traffic is dense, it's...

I have a cbr650F - well maintained, 18,000 km, reasonably priced at $6,050.

I can't speak on behalf of RTI, but when I read what they're offering, and their response about the bikes (the bike won't sustain 100 - nothing about the rider's desire/fear/apprehension/comfort), it seems it is perfectly in line with the requirements. Their description doesn't say they are...

I've gone that way twice - and the guys I went with have gone two or three times a year for several years - that's the riding route. For a short trip and trailers, they stick to the interstate, much as we do when we're bookin' it home. 219 is fun for the variety - you can move along at a decent...

Excellent condition with ABS and heated grips (added), very clean. All stock except for the heated grips. 18,285 KM.

With all the places and names, and especially "a place called Boone", where we stumbled upon the closed down meth lab - I'm sharing the video again.

Anybody come along harbour between Bay/Yonge? Police were just taping up the scene when I went by. Tarp on the sidewalk. Some kind of tragedy no matter how it happened.

Posted in the RIder Down thread: "Georgina Advocate By Susie Kockerscheidt and Brea Bartholet A motorcyclist has been taken to hospital after a collision on The Queensway South near Glenwoods Avenue in Keswick, Oct. 1. York Regional Police were called to the area following reports of a...

It's not up to the cyclists to determine whether he can stop or not. If it was an emergency, he could stop. There is no bicycle lane, and he was far enough ahead to safely move over.He signalled his intention, giving ample notice for the first cyclist to go around. Instead, like so many, they...

My CBR is up for sale, and I have a deposit on a new (to me) CBR650F. It's out of town, and if I don't sell mine over the weekend (don't really expect to) then I will likely trade it in on the new one. I don't want the hassle of trying to store two bikes while I sell one. Anyway, a common...
