I'm out. Looks like the edge of the storm is just west of here.

Incoming on weather radar ...

The banks all have attached brokerage divisions. Mine is with TD, and I'm happy with the way theirs works. First place to ask is where you usually bank ... ask to set up a brokerage account there, and see how you like it. The advantage of doing it this way, is that it should interface as...

I'm in

Hmm that's a good idea. The 62TE in my van is at 120 000 km on its supposedly lifetime fill. No dipstick, no drain plug. I should see how much I can suck out from the top.

A bunch of the regulars just got back from a track day at Mosport RDT. Best Thursday ride ever!

CHAdeMO is not physical-adapter-compatible with either CCS or NACS (which uses CCS communication protocol). Owners of vehicles with CHAdeMO are plugging in at home, and using existing fast-charging stations that have that connector, just like they've always done, and that's what they'll have to...

Appears to have fallen apart before it got started. https://www.roadracingworld.com/news/big-money-world-moto-clash-race-50-50-ceo-says/?feed_id=3619&_unique_id=6a7ce44827012

Tesla cars aren't particularly out of whack relative to the weight of modern CUVs and SUVs. My driveway has 4 sunken spots where the tires of my van have to be in order for me to sneak bikes in and out of the garage. Because it is always in the same spot (and because the driveway was put in by...

Alexandre Michel has been posting on social media. He has a broken collarbone. He also posted video of the crash. I saw this in the paddock but didn't have the ability to slow it down or do any stop-motion analysis at the time. Do not click this link unless you want to see it ... Video Zoltan...

Iirc that was at Shannonville. Personally I don't push my limits at Mosport. I leave something on the table and just enjoy the ride.

We think the tangle happened because Michel started turning in but Frast was at least partially in his draft and couldn't scrub off enough speed to avoid collision. Draft is very significant at those speeds. On bikes with downforce aero (all modern superbikes) that's less effective when in...

Example - a year ago, there was only one fast-charger in Grand Bend. Now there's 3. There's still the thing about needing multiple phone apps for charging networks, but now, a lot of them talk to each other. Getting a charge going generally means pulling up, opening the app for a compatible...

Like I've said many times, don't confuse Tesla problems with EV problems. Don't confuse "any modern car" problems with EV problems, either.

My Bolt crossed 100 000 km a week or two ago. Original tyres, though on the one hand some of that 100k has been done on snows and on the other hand, there's still wiggle room before wear bars. I'm still declaring them done after this season. Original brakes, too. Needs sway bar end links...
