Today I inadvertently tested the new rules. Heading back into town after a three hour ride in pouring rain (BTW my new FroggToggs worked excellent) my arthritic joints were complaining so, without thinking, I stood up and stretched then stretched each leg out. It was only then that I realized the car to my left was an unmarked 'ghost car'. I waited for the siren, nothing. Then we came to a light, I expected at least a finger shake, nothing. Maybe he was going off shift? Maybe he's a motorcycle rider and understands? I like to think he finds some of the rules as stupid as I do.

I intend to ask a motorcop for an 'off the record' comment on these absurd rules at the earliest opportunity

silver spirit, as long as you are speaking to a Mountie, please ask him why I was not allowed to use my Canadian Tire Money at the Tim Horton's in Baddeck, Nova Scotia; I am still ticked off about that! Thank You! Or, as they say in your country: Merci!

I have arthritis in both knees, it's not bad, but I have to stand up every now then. And I thought Canada was a friendly country.

Honestly, sounds like a "rule" to bust stunters not necessarily a rider who is adjusting or stretching on the bike... one of them laws that is up to the officer's judgement.

Our 'motorcycle cop' (we only appear to have one) was at my local coffee shop today. He directed me to this https://www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/osmv/road-safety/motorcycles.htm and admitted that it was aimed, mainly, at the 'bad ***' crowd, as opposed to those of us who get a bad *** from doing what we love.

Did you happen to ask that motorcop how he manages to follow the letter of this law when patrolling unpaved roads with his motorcycle?
I agree that the intent of the regulation may be admirable, the actual, (stupid!), wording seems significantly less so, and leaving such things to the discretion of the LEOs does not inspire confidence.
A disgruntled cop could potentially seize your bike :angry2:

The perfect Canadian!
Only questions are, why does he have a 'child size' latte, why are my FJR bags in his cage and why does he have a damp crotch?

Ah come on now Al, here is the "obvious" answer to your questions! Besides he is one of yours, not one of ours. If yamafitter was one of ours we would make him live in Owosso fecking Michigan!The perfect Canadian!

Don: You have to stop referring to that trappers hat on poor Bill's head as a toque. According to Wiki, a toque is a chef's hat. The traditional Canadian knitted cap (useful only 11 1/2 months of the year) is a "touque" or a "tuque" if you're Inuit or PWI. That abortion on Bill's head has fold-down earlugs which come in very handy if some Chandlerite starts yammering incessantly in your ear - just sayin.... I think one just like it would look good over your Schuberth!Beauty, eh Al! Going to do that, plus wear Hoser yamafitters toque over my Schuberth helmet!

So, you're saying that Bill takes his hat off when he's cooking? :lol:
