Moto-MoJo: When the shiny side doesn't stay up
http://moto-mojo.blogspot.com/2010/05/vast-majority-of-motorcycle-accidents.html
Wednesday, May 19, 2010. When the shiny side doesn't stay up. Most motorcycle accidents are single-vehicle accidents. It's the nature of the beast: when you're rolling on only two wheels, things happen and you sometimes fall over. Those who haven't learned the ins and outs of push steering for cornering, particularly, often end up in ditches or worse. But I'm more interested in the attitudes. And I don't think higher fines would be much more effective at deterring hit and runs or improving driver beh...

Moto-MoJo: Gnashing of teeth into the dark of the night
http://moto-mojo.blogspot.com/2010/08/knashing-of-teeth-into-dark-of-night.html
Tuesday, August 31, 2010. Gnashing of teeth into the dark of the night. The past few days have been rough on riders of motorcycles in the greater Toronto area. It started in the wee hours of Saturday morning, with a shocking report about a rider who ran from police in Whitby. Horribly, that's not the most shocking part: THE RIDER KEPT GOING. Left the passenger to be crushed and dismembered in traffic, without a look back. As did the cars who ran over her. No one stopped. Let me repeat that: NO ONE STOPPED.

Moto-MoJo: April 2008
http://moto-mojo.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 28, 2008. The making of a road captain. This is my friend, Wally. Last summer I joined a riding group called the Southern Cruisers on his recommendation. He belongs to the chapter in Brampton and I belong to the one in Toronto. Most riding groups have some version of both. Members of GTAMotorcycle.com have a Ride Leader and a Sweeper, who brings up the rear and makes sure no one gets left behind. Here is the group before the ride. Links to this post. Thursday, April 17, 2008. My riding budd...

Moto-MoJo: November 2010
http://moto-mojo.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 6, 2010. More information emerges as SIU clears officer in passenger fatality. A few (very few) more details. From Google and here's an eye-level view. So, police are saying the rider evaded being pulled over by police by riding around traffic on the left shoulder? And then made several lane changes, which is when Bocunescu fell and was run over by traffic. Rashid Soujah, 37, has been charged with manslaughter. No word yet on a trial date. Links to this post.

Moto-MoJo: June 2010
http://moto-mojo.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 19, 2010. Why Internet users should ride motorcycles. When an article in the June issue of Wired. Based on a book by Nicholas Carr first started me thinking about this topic, I intended to post my thoughts on my Media Gleaner blog. Adapted from Carr's book The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains. Which was released this month, at first blush, the article appeared to belong in the category of media. That probably sounds crazy, so, please allow me a digression. Carr has pulled...

Moto-MoJo: May 2009
http://moto-mojo.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 31, 2009. Lil Red Bird Ride Saturday May 30, 2009. The ride was scheduled to leave at 8 am Saturday, so I got up at 5 to get to the ride meet-up point at Haugens BBQ on Highway 12 north of Whitby by 7:30. Only two things will get me up that early: a track day or a Lil Red Bird ride. Lil Red Bird organizes these rides for members of GTAMotorcycle.com. Got back on the highway and booted it, hoping to make good distance and time before the rain hit. Ten minutes later it was pouring buckets; ...
