Burnaby road test speeds?

chefytech — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 01:44:53 GMT

Hi, I rode around the Burnaby area near the ICBC test center today and saw two common signs. Normally, we ride 50 km/hr on the street and 80 km/hr on the Hwy. I saw many signs say "MAX 50km/hr" and "MAX 70km/hr" in the area. Are they any different from the regular speed limits? What I meant to say is when I take the road test, do I ride under the MAX speed indicated on the sign? Or, can I do 10% over the indicated speed limit? Thanks in advance for the answers.

Silly me bought another bike and am looking at an additional vintage. So some garage space needs clearing:

"Candycane" 2007 BMW R1200S ($7000.00 OBO)

71,xxx Kms

In good knick, latest service at dealer this spring included all fluids (brake, oil etc.), battery and inspection. Tires new this spring. Paint bunged up a bit under right side knee grips. Hardly noticible. Exhaust sounds sweet.

Includes:
Ohlins Suspension
ABS
Heated Grips
Staintune exhaust fitted, stock available.
Carbon fibre hugger
R&G Race sliders
Wonderlich tank bag
Bridgestone BT 021 tires (190 width)

Great bike for storming through the local mountains.

free: dining set and computer desk

Incantation — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 01:30:31 GMT

this isn't free for anyone.. i want to give this stuff to an underpriviledged family.. single mother.. someone who can use a bit of help.

if anyone can suggest where i can donate it to (not giving it to value village to make a profit off it), please pm me.

if you know someone who can use it, please pm me. i have a hard time with this because i don't want someone pretending they know someone and taking it for themself.. so i might want to deliver it with you. i don't need to take credit for giving it though it can remain anonymous. no need to embarass anyone or make them feel uncomfortable

the desk is a light pine colour, light duty, but perfect for someone with a desktop computer and keyboard. it has grey legs and a lil keyboard tray that comes out

the dinette set is dark maple or maybe pine, with four chairs and the legs/backing are metal. pics to come..

anyway, please let me know if you know someone/somewhere they can be of use

The Transpondor Transponder Rumour

BMR — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 20:31:46 GMT

After reading the various BCCOM sportbike meeting reports, I was surprised to hear talk about having a TRANSPONDER put on motorcycles. Rather than me replying without some data, I opened the Bill C14 from the BCCOM page and did a simple word search using the full Adobe Acrobat word search system. I spelled it transpondor(s) and transponder(s). Please do the same to confirm this. If your results are different, please post them here asap.

Adobe word search for Transpondor:
The results were "0".

Adobe word search for Transponder:
The results were "0".

Google says:

Transpondor: Did you mean: transponder Top 2 results shown

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Transponder: A transponder (short-for Transmitter-responder[1] and sometimes abbreviated to XPDR[2], XPNDR[3], TPDR[4] or TP[5]) is an electronic device that produces a response when it receives a radio-frequency interrogation.

I have asked all along that motorcycle enthusiasts do their homework when attending these types of events, as misinformation can be rampant, and then used as a diversion tactic to shed light on other subjects....but some of you are now up in arms and seemingly approving this tactic which appears at this time to be based on unproven information and or hyperbole.

Does anyone have documentation on this transponder topic? If so, please share it here.

Some are comparing this Bill C14 and the transponder rumour to religious persecution. I wonder if this is the desired effect the organizers were after? I know there are some highly educated and rational people on here so I ask that you please, please do your homework.

Thank you.

the NCS Super Leggera 1200 Special:

from future-motorcycles.com:
"Bike is made on the basis of apparatus Ducati Hypermotard 1100, but almost all that could be replaced with parts made of titanium – which has resulted in significantly reduced weight.

If the original Italian 1000 100th weighs 172 kg, Leggera – 57 fewer total of 115. A power with this issue for 20 hp more. Front brakes – Ceram-carbon, body – full carbon.

To work and on the engine – cylinder was replaced with a larger diameter, set combustion chamber NCR, titanium valves and others complete the construction of short-style exhaust MotoGP.

The resulting price system – neither more nor less than 106 500 euros."

(I couldn't have said that better myself, lol...)

whew: fully exotic!

p.s. make that $150G...

Notice of Dispute sent, but ICBC wants me to pay anyway

kanelupis — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 19:23:29 GMT

So the story goes like this: I was driving along in Kamloops in my cage. I'd just pulled out of the Safeway and was accelerating towards the green light intersection. It was 9pm and the roads were deserted. I glance down for a moment to get the music going. When I look up, it's a yellow, and since I was almost at the intersection and still accelerating I decided to just go through. Just as I a cross the other end the lights go up. The officer pulls me over and he asks if I knew what I did. I politely respond that I'd been speeding, which was true, i was 60 in a 50 zone. At the moment, I thought that's what he was pulling me over for since I thought that I'd cleared the yellow light very cleanly (again, there were no cars in sight in any direction). I answer all of the officer's questions politely and even thanked him for the ticket. I drove home angry, but didn't show it to the officer.

So I send a notice of dispute because I thought it was pretty BS. I get a letter from ICBC stating that they've gotten my letter and to wait for a court date. 11 months later I get a letter of Remittance stating that my fines are due. This means that I never got a notice for a hearing.

The twist to the story is that I'd just moved to Kamloops and my driver's license address said Vancouver. The officer also issued a warning to have my address changed. I did that the same week. My car's insurance had already been changed to my new address for a couple months.

Anyways, I went into ICBC to renew my license today and was told I had an outstanding ticket. I was then told I'd have to goto the courthouse to see what I can do.

The question is: what CAN I do? Or, rather, what DO I have to do?

All help is appreciated.

btw: Kamloops RCMP have been killing/shooting/beating innocent people, driving drunk into things and watching prisoners eff each other recently. They seem pretty bad ass and I'd rather not piss them off.
