    Carbon emissions

    I manage the stewardship (blue box program) responsibilities for a fairly large company in the GTA. Each province has it's own recycling program in place. Most are/were broadly similar in their approaches. In Ontario under the old system (which is currently being phased out), producers...

    Tobogganing

    What's the problem with that last site? Looks perfectly clear to me unless the City's expecting people to slide all the way to the skate park...

    Moto Camping refresher...

    Also a lifetime side sleeper. I have a Hennesy Explorer Zip. Sleeping on my side works fine and is very comfy. It's also nice to always have a level sleeping platform, since most campsites are far from flat or level. However, turning over in the night is a PITA and requires waking up to...

    Motorcycle Dolly

    Ha! Got it! I had a thought and ran out to the shop to try it. I just used the car floor jack to lift the KLR front tire off the ground enough to secure the dolly in place, then used the attach-tilt the bike-rotate technique for the rear wheel dolly. A bit of a heave to get the kick stand...

    Motorcycle Dolly

    I bought 2 snowmobile dolly sets at Princess Auto last night. The Honda CRF300L went onto the dollies no problem. The knobby tires help with keeping the dollies in position during setup. I just zip tied the dollies to the tires, then tilted the bike up onto the side stand and the weight of...

    Motorcycle Dolly

    Hey all, I'm looking at getting a couple of motorcycle dollies to make it easier to move the bikes around in the shop over the winter. The ones designed for bikes (long central rail with side-stand support rail sticking out the side) are pretty pricey at over $150. On the other hand, a...

    Benching ZX10R, buying KLX300 for a year's use.

    If you want to go off road, buy a bike designed for use off road rather than a heavy ADV bike. The KLX300/CRF300L is what you want. The 300cc versions of both bikes are much improved over the 250cc versions that some members here like to dump on. I've got a CRF300L and a 1st gen KLR650. If...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Kinda sounds like a needle valve or valve seat issue. Could be some crud preventing the cone of the needle from sealing against the seat, or possibly the o-ring on the seat leaking. Mikuni has a youtube video about leaking needles: image from...

    Boat experts

    Get 2 Seadoo Sparks. Then you can both have fun. Stupidly fun to blast around and only uses about 10L/hour when riding in full hooligan mode. Also surprisingly good for touring. I regularly do long days on the Trent system. I'll put in on Lake Skugog and ride out through the locks to...

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    I had to check on the MSRP for a Rebel 1100. How is that a $15,000 bike??? I mean, I know inflation is bad but that's insane.

    Ganaraska Forest Closed - due to storm damage

    Anyone have an update on the status of the forest and trails? I've been hearing some people saying most of the trails are open, while others are saying it's mostly closed.... No reply from the CA to my request for a status report.
