That MV triple was one of the highlights of the day. As soon as they fired it up it drew a crowd. I don’t think anyone was disappointed that they had it running for quite a while. It went out with the other Team Obsolete bikes for a few laps during the lunch break. No RC166, but someone did...

Saw a blue Husky 901 Norden with a BC plate westbound on the 401 near Kennedy at around 12:45 pm yesterday. Mrs. @Lightcycle?

VRRA’s Vintage Festival is happening at Mosport this Friday-Sunday. I haven’t been in years but will likely be heading over for the Saturday. https://www.vrra.ca/1-2/ On the Saturday, CVMG is also putting on a swap meet and concours d’elegance https://cvmg.ca/VFest

Yea, lacking a stand (or the means to easily make one at the time) was the main reason I picked up the PA one over the Marc Parnes set a few years ago. It’s been good enough for my use (3 wheels balanced). It also looks like in the time since I got it, they’ve added washers so the bearings...

You’ve probably come across them already, but the Pete Plan and beginner Pete Plan are great for being able to just put your head down and make progress, which can be pretty motivating. C2 also a calendar of events and challenges. And if you’re using the C2 log book, new season starts today.

Thanks for this!

That’s a per driver price - there are 8 driver options, ranging from $17-23

I bought the Hozan 4 pack about 10 years ago and they’ve held up ok. I use the Vessel ball grip driver the most now, though. The Vessel Megadora ones always looked the nicest but are a bit spendy.

Not the most frequently used tools, but ones that I like having when I need them are Koken’s “wobble fix” extensions and their spark plug sockets that have brass spring clips. The extensions can convert between being fixed or allowing +/-15 degrees of rotation. With this rotation, I could...

Before I had a garage, I had to remove a stubborn filter and had the same pair of pliers. It looks like they’re just slipping on the filter. I ended up getting the pliers to really dig in and crush the filter somewhat. Once the slippage is gone, they should give enough leverage to get it...

Apparently they’re coming back. No date is given, though.

I would feel bad about missing the meetup that’s closest to me, but we’re on standby for baby arrival. If I’m not there, it would be because things are happening on that front

I’ve liked the Road 5 and now 6. I bought mainly on durability and all weather performance and was not let down. Before the Road 5s, the bike had some marginal Bridgestones that didn’t inspire confidence in the wet (don’t remember the model).

Congratulations!

Looks (and sounds) like a whipping siphon
