Electric blanket.

Alternatively, it could be return spring on the shifter, which is what happened to mine. Same area, but $10 more to fix. If it's just the spring, shifting around neutral may be normal but problems start into third and above.

I've never seen a good connector that could fit through the nut required on the back of a light-up bolt, so I've always used t-connectors. Not the easiest things to re-use but they work, and if they don't they are cheap. If I had to do it again I would probably use some kind of tool-less...

Indeed, it is old news. http://www.airbagcrash.com/ http://www.crashforensics.com/automobiledatarecorders.cfm A quote from the first link: • Are General Motors vehicles the only cars that have a EDR / event data recorder / black box? No, based on a directive by the NTSB, almost all vehicles...

I'm only mostly joking. Hypermillers are funny. They will go on and on about their range on a single tank instead of focusing on the important things. I'm not saying it's significant but someone who's standard practice is to fill up from half is either fueling too often (Your extra idle and...

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this yet... Don't fill the tank from half. Never fill it unless range is an issue. You are only wasting more fuel lugging around that extra half talk, not to mention brakes. That said, I often fill anyway so I can get a roughly accurate mileage number, I...

I believe the are exempt under subsection 2. Amusingly, the municipal by-law isn't to be easily found. Given that the tickets are occasionally given we would assume there is one and it applies to all signalized intersections as per sub (3). In my experience, even in the worst of times, on a...

I have my starter on the left, probably a good thing I don't try to cancel any non-existent signal on the track.

From the measure of complete incident avoidance, on a real world highway, how relevant is 60mph to 0? I will wager 60 to 30 is more important, plus having somewhere to go and ability to get there. How about the reaction times? Of course, there are none on these test tracks.

I don't know if they'll beat the quotes you already have on uship but being flexible always helps as any shipper will want to combine it with as many other loads as possible. If they let you take delivery from their warehouse (Etobicoke) there could be saving to be had there too.

Curious to see what the renderings look like after someone who designs bikes that actually function has a go at it.

Nice find. Sure looks like the same guy to me, and I was paying extra attention from the wall on Saturday after the pass. Watching from the beginning, does it look like he's trying to warm up his slicks to anyone else?

Interesting, they must treat reseller/business accounts differently. I've done at least a dozen that way without issue. Amusingly, if you route (real-world) static IPs at them they blindly NAT to the WAN ip. Stupid stupid stupid. I hope they don't make it worse in the future, they already waste...

Fair enough. I think it was a GTAM day where we were told to get back to the pits asap but riding slow and off the racing line, looking it over yourself does sound safer overall, unless you are still in a crash zone.

In for the lulz. [Trim] Seemed perfectly clear to me, no safeties on ebikes, therefore Motorcycle, also, if they shouldn't even work on them, what does that leave a 'mechanic' to do? Agreed :) We need a study for that? Dang, we better figure out what percentage of people are bellow average...
