I laughed will sipping a cup of coffee and snorted coffee through my nose...you owe me a new shirt...

Thanks for the tip in the Can-Am, there's a dealer in Peterborough so I'll check them out this weekend. As for the suggestions about getting an old pickup...I though about it but it's too big, I have about 45 acres of bush that I'd like to access and even a small pickup would be too large. As...

Hi All, I'm looking for opinions on UTV's (aka side-by-sides). I've got a 127-acre farm and am looking for something that can tow, push snow, carry firewood, and be an all-around workhorse. Pulling power, carrying capacity, and reliability are far more important than how fast it goes. I'm...

Hi everyone. OP here. I had a couple of PM's from guys looking for the windproof jacket & pants, they can be hard to find. Rapala just opened up a store on their website and the clothing is available! Worth every penny... - Jacket - Pants Winter is coming! Cheers, D.

Anything in the database now? It's been a while...

Hands down my worst bike was a '92 Yamaha XT350. Hard to start, leaked oil (dealer tried for months to fix it, blamed porous casting), buzzy, and utterly gutless. I rode it for one year and traded it in for a '93 Suzuki DR350 (last year of the kick-starter). The DR was light-years ahead of...

I used to get stopped at least once a year by the cops when I lived in BC. They checked to see if I had a "M" endorsement on my license. Occasionally they would also check to make sure I carried proper insurance. On one of the stops I asked the cop why they kept pulling over motorcyclists as...

Bang on... Just stuff a shop rag in the caliper so the piston doesn't go flying and you'll be fine. No drama necessary. Unless you got money to burn and space in your toolbox I wouldn't bother.

My God that would be a blast to ride! At 6'1" I'd be mighty cramped though...

OP here... Glad I went! I thought the show was the best one I've seen in years. The new venue is tons nicer than the old one. I got there Friday at door-opening. Crowds were light but given the Hockey game going on I wasn't surprised. Something for everyone, even those *shudder* 3-wheeled...

+1 for Trail Tours if you don't have a bike. The one at Horseshoe is OK but I've found it caters more to the noob dirt rider (which actually may be a good thing in your case) and the trail system they ride on is much smaller. If you have a bike then +1 for the Ganny, it's 11,000 acres and has...

Agreed 100%. That's the way to go. I did exactly that last year when my folks decided to downsize and gifted one of their vehicles to me. Other than the usual transfer fees I didn't pay a cent in sales taxes.

Anybody have any clues or educated guesses on how this will roll out when it comes to dirt bikes? Especially dirt bikes for kids? My 13 year old son has a TTR125 that he got last year; I've been a long-term Desjardins customer and have two vehicles and my XR650L insured with them but they...

Soooooo....whatever happened to that dirtbag Ragu??? Pardon me..."alleged dirtbag". Did he beat the system or was he finally convicted? I tried following up on the case but it seems to have disappeared.

I know I'm a bit late to the party but +1 for the Sony ereader Love my ereader... I still read the occasional paper book but it's getting less and less. I went with a Sony and use Calibre to manage my library. I got the Sony because it handles a lot of formats (excl. mobi but with Calibre...
