But when you riding in a group during rush hour and holding the left lane, you can be sure that cars will try to squeeze in (which a lot did). Either move from the left lane or keep a position where you can block cars from merging in the middle of the group... The first option of course is the best.

In the Beaches on my way home, caught going north on woodbine and ended up following you till Main and Kingston where the wife snapped a pic at the lights. Couldn't tell if it was a 848 or 1x98 but completely redone including the shorty side exhaust which sound awesome. Couldn't tell which swingarm you were running but looked aftermarket with a super wide rear tire.

That is a RSD ( Roland Sands Design 1098 ).

To the gentleman who broke down on the Bayview-Bloor ramp just after noon today, if you're on here, hope your mechanic was able to sort everything out for you. Sucks getting your bike back just to break down shortly after.
 
Thank you, to the scooter-bro that warned me about the cop sitting on woodbine & steeles.

I owe you a beer for that one.

Crazy. Really not a fan of the graphics on it though. And it looks like they got RSD to make them one as the one spotted is biposto.

I wont lie, but the pics do this bike no justice unless seen in person - I think the same as you after looking at the website. The exhaust on this thing is ridonkulous and sound fantastic.

Btw, the exhaust off the website was not the one on his bike.

At around 2:30-3pm on the bloor/bayview ramps, (specifically the ramp to the northbound 404), there was a group of riders--the lead was on a yellow BMW single-cylinder bike--a 650? Another rider was on a red Ducati classic with luggage. Anyway, the lady on the BMW should not have been leading your group. I had to let her into my lane at the last second, (-why would she wait so long?), and then I gave her a wide berth on the ramp because she could barely stay in the lane, (-her bike was completely upright through the corners leading onto the highway at a snails pace). I was in my car and I can tell you I was genuinely afraid for her.

I'm no Valentino Rossi, but even I can tell that this lady needs more training before she gets hurt out there. I'm sure there are many aggressive car drivers out there that would've tailgated her---making her even more nervous and closer to crashing.

Some riding groups think that the slowest rider should take the lead, so that he or she doesn't get left behind. There are obviously pluses and minuses to this strategy.

As to not getting into the right lane until the last second, have you noticed how people drive in Toronto these days? It has become common practise to blow down the merge lane and then when it runs out, hammer your way into traffic. This is a stupid thing to do when your vehicle is small enoough to literally bounce off the vehicle to your left, but that doesn't seem to stop anyone from doing it.

I agree, the driving in Toronto is pretty awful---I'm glad I don't have to experience it too often. As far as using the merge lane goes, this lady was in the right lane, (-which goes to the south DVP), while I was in the left lane, (-which goes to the north DVP). She was waving at me to go by, (at the last second), as the rest of her group was behind me, (-or in the process of getting behind me).

What she should've done was out-accelerate me into my lane, or let me pass of instead waiting until the last second. I could see she was shaky and emphatically waved her in front of me before she got forced onto the southbound DVP. There are times where you have to boot it a little to place the bike where you need it to be.
 
to the guy who keeps the gixxer squid movement going.... saw you blazing down brock just south of 7. I was waiting at the lights at fresh co there and all i see is this bike coming south hard!!! Right lane passing a car, it was a newer gixxer the guy was literally doing about 180 k in shorts and a t - shirt! at that speed rash would get pretty nasty!

At least he wasn't going fast.
 
To the Red/Grey CBR(?) chasing me(black streetfighter w/ orange rims) from Bayview/Finch to 401W, I have no idea what your intentions were. Perhaps you got offended by my manoeuvres because you were hiding in my blind spot the entire time or you got scared that I ripped by you on the right side because you forced me to swing behind you to make it to the onramp. But why you foolishly ripped passed me on the 401, inches away from a collision, is unbeknownst to me.
You're prob just having fun. I'm curious to see if you're on here.

Gixer squid movement (GSM) I LOVE IT!

Hey if you see me in durham say hi. I am the only guy with the bright blue "power ranger" helmet :-)

Rode all over toronto today. The yonge subways were down there was busses everywhere, the beaches had a q107 festival going on. Great day!

Said hi to 2 riders on zx6r's on yonge street , there was an sv650 behind me on kingston road scarboro and then back in durham i rode with a cb250 a bit on kingston.
 
To the four D-bags that sat in the parking lot of Wild Wing on Lakeshore reving the snot outta one of the bikes before leaving a couple minutes ago... Yeah. Thanks for that. Everyone across the street enjoying sushi in the patio was thrilled too.

A little consideration for people around next time, huh?

Ignore it, shake your head and move on. When something bad happens to him and he's alive to remember it, he will think twice.

I don't think they would have the balls to do it and admit to who they are.
