Well it finally happened to me. I was told there were two types of motorcycle drivers those that have fallen and the ones that will fall. Well some PR$*@ in a pick up decided to leave the left turning lane and cross my lane to turn right. I met him half way just where the cab ends and the box starts. how i am walking with a cane and my A16 is in the shop. Luckily i will be ok to ride again, hopefully soon as my bike is fixed and i can walk on two legs again. Just a note to everyone keep your eyes open and watch for drivers that think they own the road. I will always approach an intersection with extreme caution from now on. Ride safe Dave Noel Goose Bay Labrador A16?

happened to me a couple days ago. I was next to some big fat red neck, and here he comes into my lane. My horn was 3 feet from his ear when I beeped it, he was forcing me into oncoming traffic!. Well he went back over and I gave him the universal sign of masterbating, and boy was he pissed. He was cussing at me as we left the next light, so I wheelied just as a courtesy. Stay alert! By the way, was he insured? --- davenoel70 wrote:

I just rode with a buddy to Mt. Washington, NH from Toronto area and had the best ride ever. It was quite an endurance test for me...2200 km/1300 miles and I would say, other than the butt/seat interface, it was without a problem. That seat needs some getting used to. I got 65 mpg (4 L/100 km) and the bike was flawless. It went up the mountain really well, no overheating and I barely needed the brakes on the way down. It was a bit lonely though with all those V-twins around! Cheers, Bruce A13
