    Anyone else becoming more reclusive?

    True. I had to ban two hardcore Liberal acquaintances that flat-out just made up a fictional reality of their own and wouldn't stop trying to impose it endlessly on me, replete with "apparent" facts that they could never source (and never did). Once I did that, I noticed a lot less stress in...

    Knowing Better

    I haven't ridden my GSX-R 1000 that I bought from Clint McBain since 2018. Last week I put a battery on it, disconnected the fuel line to be safe, and it turned over like I'd ridden it yesterday. Yeah, I'm a cad, but I had a few rough years and also Covid-19 horse@#$& to deal with. Other than...

    Where are the Toronto Jays fans

    Not my fault. I bought my wife Jays earrings and let her wear my (previously worn once only) '93 World Series Celebration shirt with the team signatures on it to work on Friday. If there's any truth to karma, I did my best ... but I have to tell you that a LOT of Elbows Up types turned this...

    Something tells me the Yesavage family is going to frame this one.

    Daily sports car?

    I attended one of the local car group rallies this weekend, good time. No laws were broken, the speed limit remains 299,792,458 meters per second despite my best efforts.

    2026 Triumph Trident 800 launched

    Personally I love naked bikes, as the last 20 years of my riding will attest (tuono 1000r for 16 years, now 3 with my Super Duke). But, FFS people, we need naked bikes with a similar engine package that comfortably ride two-up. There's plenty of highly-sporty naked bikes now but ones with...

    Moi ici. The wife and I had to work today and I ran out of beer. :ROFLMAO:

    Where are the Toronto Jays fans

    I was there at both of the celebrations. I've got a signed baseball from Joe Carter and the two posters they handed you at the gate framed on my wall right above me now. Trying to find a bar with room to stand after 30,000 fans all poured out of the Dome downtown was a struggle.

    Where are the Toronto Jays fans

    Yeah, it made my guts twist watching it. Dropped him like a stone. The way it hit, I expected tendon and soft tissue damage but Springer and Bichette are nothing alike in this regard... take that how you want to. ;)

    These speed limit reductions are getting out of hand

    From Kingston, it takes about another hour each way than driving, but that depends on what time you try and drive downtown. As often as not I'm on par with time and a LOT happier when I get there than when I've spent an hour in door to door stopped traffic on the 401 and the Don Valley. I've...

    Where are the Toronto Jays fans

    I had a great time watching it last night with a couple of St. Bernardus Abt 12, the wife and the huskies. Good times. Trey Yesavage looked like he got punched in the face, I'm sure he's thinking "I just pitched a post-season game and now I'm going to the world series in the same month I...

    These speed limit reductions are getting out of hand

    I use the train. Easy peasy. Screw driving down there. Which reminds me, I have to go down there with the truck and trailer to get valve checks done for the RSV4 track bike. Going to call Pro6 first and see if they have experience with them, but it's also not in the very best spot.

    These speed limit reductions are getting out of hand

    I wish this really was the case but I get people pulling in front of my onrushing 8,000lb+ diesel truck all the time. It's 8' wide, 7' tall and 23' long and they act like I was in the GTI or something. In the 911 they rarely do, which is just inexplicable (maybe they think I'm always going...

    These speed limit reductions are getting out of hand

    Anyone paying attention or who has attended city council meetings knows that the cities have a war against cars. The speed limits lowering were also totally predictable. Apparently idiots that can't avoid walking directly in front of moving vehicles trump the point of having a road in the...

    Daily sports car?

    Both my wives, current and past, have sampled the brakes on the 911. Both think it's ridiculous. And me? I think I need stickier tires. :ROFLMAO:
