    What's the Ride The Rock story?

    Been a Member here for quite awhile, though don't post much ... I do check in every week to keep up to date. Was a member over at the old NLBiker.com back in the 00's until that website imploded and shortly thereafter discovered this Site :) Am a casual street Rider not an ADVer per se ... do...

    Crazy Insurance in Newfoundland

    I was rear ended by an 81 yr old woman this past August. Luckily it was a low-speed impact. The Bike was damaged and I did come off of the machine but was relatively uninjured (stiff, sore, some light bruising) and able to walk away. Never bothered going to Emerg. (didn't want to wait 12 hrs...

    NL M/C License Plates; options?

    Thanks b'ys ... am figuring that's what I'll have to do ... a trip to the MVR in the Spring to get a new plate. To bad the Gubmint doesn't accommodate us tax-payin', workin' stiffs with hours that don't clash with our 9 to 5 <rolleyes>

    NL M/C License Plates; options?

    A few questions to ask of The Collective regarding NL M/C license plates. Long story short, my plate was (severely) mangled when I was rear-ended by a l'il old lady back in August, so don't think I would like to strap that back on my Scoot when she eventually gets repaired (parts are taking...

    New Bikes

    True dat. Saw a dude riding thru Paradise this past summer on the matte desert tan version of the R.E. Meteor Classic ... nice lookin' Bike! There's a dealership in New Brunswick I believe ... will wait to see how my refurbished TUX turns out when she comes back from the 'zuki dealer (hopefully...

    It's too bad none of the Dealerships here are carrying these:

    May have written off the bike.

    Update. A few weeks back a good friend of mine, who couldn't stand the fact that my poor l'il TUX was languishing outside in the elements at Avalon Towing's impound yard, offered to trailer it to Freshwater Suzuki, where it would wait inside for an assessment. Within a few days, the Insurance...

    Hmmm?? So how does this work? They cut you a check, minus the amount they'd want for a buy-back?? Never had to go down that road before, so I really have no idea?

    May have written off the bike.

    Quick question for you Inmates. I don't think the impact was enough to have tweaked the frame (hopefully), but Bike is only a TU250X, so not really worth much $$-wise. Am hoping she won't be written off, but if so, will I have the opportunity to get it back somehow (how does that work?)? Am...

    Yeah, lucky for sure ... I've never ridden with a pillion and don't intend to start ...

    Glad you b'ys're fine. Sucks though. Got rear-ended on Bike m'self this past Saturday (Aug. 26th) over at intersection of Ruby Line & Southlands Blvd. Classisc little old lady who said see didn't see me stopped directly ahead of her. Not a mark on her vehicle. Rear of Bike is a mess. I came off...

    Moto Life in The Philippines

    you're welcome Rob :) ... I don't work in the PH however; strictly vay-kay. Visiting with the GF's family mostly ... her Mom passed in 2020 during the pandemic and she was unable to get home then due to lockdowns, so this trip was in part about her making good on that ... I can't WAIT to go...

    Moto Life in The Philippines

    Well, this spring weather we’ve been having generally sucks! Excuse my l’il rant, but am not long back from a month long tropical sabbatical in The Philippines. It was my second time visiting that country and it was once again, an awesome time! Basecamp this time was Cabanatuan City, 160 km...

    FYI- Increased Enforcement

    I typically drive the speed limit or max. 10 kph over if road and traffic conditions permit ... and having said that, would not have a problem with photo radar catching chronic speeders. BUT, as others have pointed out, the photo radar is not REALLY about that and a parked cop car is a better...

    Robots…

    1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not...
