Traffic sucks when you're in a country that can't filter/lane split!!!!!!

:mad2:
Given the way the average Lower Mainlander/Vancouverite drives, you really don't want to be doing any filtering or lane splitting here.
You should see traffic in Central London! Vancouver maybe a city of 1 million, but London is 7 million and 1/2 the size! OMG! You NEED to know the width and length of your motorcycle in that mess.

Got my first ride in on monday. Well, real ride. Then it snowed. Lol. My brother got himself a bike, 250 ninja and he's liking being a new bike owner. So now we did a 122 km ride. Pretty fun but cool outside.

I've been getting out in between snowstorms during the crapiest spring in recent memory. It is actually snowing outside right now....on the 27th of April! :rant:

yesterday, 4-30-11 first nice day, sunshine in the 70's, central PA, I had my Tmax out all day put almost 200 miles on it, I mixed pleasure riding with running errands.
It was fun I stopped at a restruant with outside seating where I had a table with my Tmax parked near me, it was fun watching the people walk by and checking out my Tmax ( I am the only person in the Northeast U.S. that owns one so that makes it an attention getter)

Sunshine, does your bike have a built in immobilizer?
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Always wear a helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing. Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
