Saw a ZX-11 rider go down this AM (paint stripes!!!)

Just a reminder for the wet weather people...watch the lean and tires whilst running over those crosswalks, linear dividers, etc...

He was okay, just a little shaken up. Ride safe boys! And girls!

It's a shame Alex didn't see him first, he would have just run out of gas.....

You dont need a ZX-11 to fall.
This morning I slipped on the ice and ended up my fall in a disgusting grey puddle !

Taking the opportunity of this post to share with you my feelings, Fucking hate this cold Quebec more and more, and the 640$ licence plate for the Hyper is not helping !!!

Need to move to CA... asap !

Well, I can vouch for all three locations. Currently I'm in Fullerton. You can't go wrong with any of 'em!

And I can embrace your hatred towards the weather out there...my grandparents lived out in Glendale and Northern Phoenix. No bueno.

You think 640$ is a rape ?
Quebec decided to divide bikes over 400cc in 2 categories, risky and less risky.

Less risky plates, for a year (read 6 ridable monthes here) is 640$. HD, naked bikes and things like that go into thiss category.
Now the real rape begins :
Risky bikes, including all the sport bikes, are now 1410$ a year.

On top of that, you have to pay for insurance...

At the end of a season, it's like buying a BST rear wheel every year.


Add the wicked crazy winter, me falling on the ice getting all wet and an american girlfriend I've been with for the last 4 years, and I got an easy way to move in US, if possible to a warm place (FL or CA) with nice roads and a nice baseball team to root for (that definitly put FL away of my list for its lack of curves and the Rays...)

Ha!!! Well, I'm an Angels fan so I welcome you to Southern California with open arms IF you don't turn towards Chavez Ravine......

Besides, the humidity in FLA is a bitch...good for baking bread, bad for riding AGATT...
