I research the hell out of my bike purchases and usually takes about a year of reading numerous road tests and reviews. I usually won’t buy the first year of a new model but will wait a year or two for any bugs to get ironed out. The only bike I kind of regretted buying was a 2007 Honda St1300...

I’m pretty sure the term MILF is no longer politically correct. It’s been changed to “Yummy Mummy”.

This is a must read. The one thing that amazes me about this journey around the world (that took place in 1936 or thereabouts) was that he only ran out of gas once outside of Munich.He was able to push his bike to the next gas station.

Are you a Shwahemian?

My lawyer’s office is in the ‘Shwa, this is her car…

I remember when I bought my Sprinter from Durham Mercedes in 2010, I had a young, eager salesman. We were in his office doing the paperwork and he looked at me and said “ I know it’s just a work truck but underneath it’s still a Benz”. I chuckled and thought to myself , okay you can save the...

I haven’t had a breakdown in the over 370,000 km. I’ve put on the two Mercedes vehicles that I’ve owned. German Engineering in the haus!

Good to hear. Contractors seem to shy away from Promasters.I’m sure they’ve resolved whatever problems that they’ve had.

Durham Mercedes does all our maintenance on the chassis, never had a problem with that.

I had a Sprinter 2500 V6 diesel van I drove for work for 12 years that I replaced with the equivalent Ford Transit V6 gas which I’ve been driving for the last 2 years so some of what I’m about to tell you is based on that.Right off the bat fuel cost was consistently 27-30% less in the...

Leisure Travel Vans ( built in Manitoba) makes some really nice units. My wife and I picked up a new Unity Rear Lounge on a Mercedes chassis about two years ago and have been very happy with it. Definitely better quality and reputation than most. Also have a pretty good resale value especially...

As long as he’s not riding a 1980 GS750 with a Yosh pipe, your daughter will be fine.

That’s good to hear. If he’s had even one or two infractions he would never have gotten insurance. I would insist that your daughter wear the appropriate gear at all times or there’s going to be a problem. When I see new riders in t-shirts and shorts on hot days I always tell them don’t dress...

How old is your daughter’s boyfriend and how long has he been riding? If he’s able to get insurance these days that’s a good sign. I remember in high school I had started dating this real nice girl. She called me one day and said her parents wanted to meet me. I told her I would be right over. I...

That might be an alignment issue. Was that tire on the front of your car? It might be a good idea to get an alignment done if you haven’t done so recently. I usually get one done every time I get new tires.
