Buell S3T - Both Black, same year and slight differences in windshield and rims. Both were fun and worth it. Only sold due to limited garage space and wife didn’t enjoy riding pillion. She had a point as they do wheelie easily and cornered really well.

This thread did not disappoint. Thank you all for your contributions. Got nothing else to add. Good cuts are grilled and lightly seasoned. Cheap stuff is marinated in soya sauce and some Montreal steak spice in the fridge for the better part of a day. Pan fried when I haven’t shovelled...

I’d like to add my earliest memory of being on 2 wheels. My aunt Mary picked me up and took me for a ride on her RD350 back in 1974. I was 5 years old. It was around the block. My Dad loved it. My mom horrified. And to me it felt like I went for a tour around the world. Her husband/my uncle...

Life is boring when everyone agrees with each other. You learn from different points of view. They could be an idiot or you might be one yourself. Best times are with friends that have a different perspective than my own. Family? Well, they say patience is a virtue. 😆 Looking forward...

I think the 131 kWh extended range was rated at 515 kms. Cold weather, I’m not sure. But, at the right price, I’d consider one myself. I’m just looking into adding the 240 charger in the garage for charging etc. 95% of my charging with the PHEV has been fine over night with 120 circuit...

Ford has a couple of options. F150 & Maverick. Reasonable cost? Can that be a factor when shopping for a new pick up? Not sure the pricing on F150 lease returns?

I think if Elon had made the cyber truck look and function more like a Chev avalanche, it would still be a best seller. It attracted the earlier adopters and YouTube content creators and a few people with more money than brains and it’s selling exactly how it should. Poorly.

Rob and Nick made a movie based on Nick about a privileged kid addicted to drugs and the life it leads and impact is has on all involved. This is a family tragedy.

Less than ideal weather for the beach but, this fella makes us appreciate it.

Not all dog parks are created equal for sure. The attendees can be a pain as well as their pups. Some are well designed and have good folks that come out. Not sure about the GTA locations specifically which are good or bad. Edit. You do want to have your pup socialize with other pups and...

For dog training schools, look for local feedback from previous customers. See if you can come out and view a class in session without your pup. You may not be allowed to be in the space of the class but, might have a way to observe. Do they control the group well and provide good guidance...

Teething can be an issue for biting. Here is a YouTube clip from a decent trainer. Dog training schools are hit or miss. The good thing about them is controlled socializing as well as the training. Get the kids involved so everyone keeps things consistent with corrections and rewards...

This year was my first and was fun on the R80. No tweed or suit worn by this fella. If any of the GTA riders find their way down towards the Niagara region for the next one, the parkway is a nice ride and the end point at Reif Winery was quite nice. While I don’t support drinking and...

“The bench” wine is actually preferred by many “locals” of the Niagara region. Specifically this Cab Franc is quite nice. $40 nice? Debatable. But, we do pick it up from time to time and enjoy it.

Bookmarked for the future. I’m not ready for advanced information related to coffee. For me, it’s just not registering at the moment. Water temps and the like. I’m still at caveman, road side camping, keep it simple stupid. But, I have to say my coffee game has improved since I...
