    Everybody Give Me Wrong Battery, Even When I Give Them My Ownership

    And by the way, the YTX14-BS is a taller version of the YTX14 S. I take the latter but if I remove the factory spacer in the bottom of my battery box, I can install the YTX-14BS. You would think this is rocket science.

    Everybody Give Me Wrong Battery, Even When I Give Them My Ownership

    And the Federal government (or any level of government) is the perfect example of useless aka grossly overpaid, grossly underworked and with benefits that the private sector would die for. For over 2 weeks, I've been going to the CRA web site to figure out what my TFSA limit is. You'd think the...

    Everybody Give Me Wrong Battery, Even When I Give Them My Ownership

    You might be right there. I have four friends with vehicle problems calling me in the last two weeks and they are all my age. Sorry, I got no time, sort it out yourself. Then I have other acquaintances that you only hear from when they have problems. Well eff them!

    Who's still riding? (Fall & Winter 2024 Edition)

    Maybe, but not quite. I don't see snow that is up above the bash plate and it doesn't look that cold with gloveless hands punching at the sky. You gotta do it every day in the biggest of snow storms going to and from work. Oh and lets not forget the local ice races where we'd all plow the snow...

    Let's talk about the ELEPHANT in the room (certifications)

    Obviously you are either not too informed or you are part of the system. Sorry bud, but I am not so brain washed to believe I live in utopia. Most intelligent people not living on a cloud would agree. It is good that the government can operate the way they do, because if they had to compete...

    Who's still riding? (Fall & Winter 2024 Edition)

    I hated taking the bus and drove to the bike shop daily all year long. Lets not talk about the number the salt did to the engine cases. I am not the one pulling their suspenders out to see how late people are riding. Besides the GTA does not get any real winter. Going to motorcycle shows in...

    Let's talk about the ELEPHANT in the room (certifications)

    Nothing like getting FACTS. It seems all my Canadian vehicles have this Maple Leaf and Federal government sticker on them.

    Let's talk about the ELEPHANT in the room (certifications)

    I am talking about governments in general from the city level to the Federal level. Tell me why they all get paid more than any equivalent job in the private sector. If you want anything turned to sh*t, let the government take control. Oh and di*khead Trudeau was a perfect example and strange...

    Everybody Give Me Wrong Battery, Even When I Give Them My Ownership

    Because we are now living in the X, Y, Z generation where nobody gives a ****. They all want to be CEOs upon graduating with some useless degree. Bottom line, trust no one and do your own homework. Pull the original battery out, get the battery number off it and also take its dimensions. I...

    Let's talk about the ELEPHANT in the room (certifications)

    Just ask our last Federal government for the past 10 years and the clown people just voted in. Gun control comes to mind based on no facts at all. They dictate to us all the time by people who have no background in the subject.

    Who's still riding? (Fall & Winter 2024 Edition)

    So far from the pics I have seen riders are on dry and wet roads. What happened to the die-hards driving on snow and ice covered roads where we get real snow like in Montreal taking turns with the front wheel at full lock Kenny Roberts style dirt tracking. And down to -23C where two hours later...

    A petite rant

    Well what did it go down to as in from what premium last year to the premium this year? Maybe they grossly overcharged you aka ripping you off compared to this year. Echelon went from $976 last year to $1279 this year, so I switched and am paying $788 for the same coverage.

    A petite rant

    NFP offers Echelon insurance and went nuts price-wise this year, so after over 10 years with them, I switched. Prior to that I was with Riders Plus till they jacked up their pricing. Its unfortunate that BelairDirect does not offer motorcycle insurance because their car and home rates are...

    Getting a bike from Quebec without lisense

    Same here. One time I was looking at a motocrosser and the owner did not have a registration for it, only a hand written bill of sale. That is no proof that you own it. And when selling, I never sign the back of the registration hoping the new owner will transfer it into their name. I go with...
