Another Beemer. Waved to this guy and he let me squeeze in after him

We should take up a collection to get him taller boots (or longer pants)

Another wave to let a copper make his left turn. Build up some goodwill for HD riders, LoL.

The second rider I’ve seen in as many days riding (slowly) with their feet down. Is this what they teach at M1 courses now?

Dunno, but to me it's a bad riding habit IMHO. Actuality I think it makes it harder to balance the vehicle and no access to the rear brake which is probably more useful in slow speed riding. .

I was told not to do it during my riding course, but now I do it just for fun when I'm bored sitting in slow traffic. I pretty much never use the rear brake unless I'm starting on a hill and don't want to roll back

I do the same when bored in traffic. Bounce my boots off the pegs.
 
Did you miss my daily updates?

Here's Wednesday -

Looks like a Fiat 500, but it’s huge!

2-up on a 250!

A motorcop talking on his cellphone while I fire up the 103 (wth Cycle Shack slip ons)

Sorry Inreb, my camera doesn’t have enough exposure range to see the detail of the black leggings. You’ll have to use your imagination.

If I was a cop, I’d be ok with this plate location / tail tidy.
2016-10-12-7_zpsc7rfsdne.jpg





Hard to see - but the plate numbers were upside down from the Ontario / Yours to Discover. A stamping/printing error?

And on to today:




Pulled up beside this Ninja rider to tell him that his brake lamp wasn’t working…
2016-10-13-1_zpsugjassyq.jpg





This pay duty officer was doing a really good job keeping traffic flowing (preventing cars from blocking the cross traffic). Other days/cops not so good. Maybe because he’s a motorcop?
2016-10-13-2_zpsohxrivhb.jpg





The visor on my 3/4 helmet came in handy today -

Overtime last night, again this morning, then some household chores. Time for a ride. Looks like I’m not the only one.
2016-10-15-1_zpskudleuer.jpg



Full stop here (saw him coming LoL)

Ducks

And duckwalk

Kerfluffle on Appleby - ended up stuck just after the hairpin. Hi-vis v-star guy decides to join me.
2016-10-15-4_zpshxmaf3dj.jpg



And saw stretched-swingwarm-R6 guy again. This time he’s outrigging down the hill.

Cars aren’t going so fast, no need to hang my butt off the seat.

And the best part of today's ride - a wave to & from a future motorcyclist:

Post #314, I think that's a gixxer
 
Once I squeezed in here, I moved right to let the Virago guy (in my mirror) in beside me. Teamwork!

Wonderbra?

Beauties. The bikes and the lady with the long legs and heels.
