    Cheapskates Corner

    Wait until retatrutide becomes the norm, along with peptides that simulate body hormones that grow skeletal muscle and raise metabolism (they're coming fast, probably two years) using the same chemical signals that working out does. Reta is a GLP3 agonist - GLP1, GIP, Glucagon. And it makes...

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Why should they be given any leniency, when your average person would be saddled with a criminal record, massive expenses, possible jail time and a future of restricted travel?

    Carney drops tariffs to 6.9% on Chinese EVs

    I think it will be the opposite. This is China we are talking about. They'd love to step on our auto sector.

    Restaurants

    At the last gig I did, I had two pints of "guinness" - or whatever that is that they call guinness in Canada - and it was $25 with not quite 20% tip. Jeebuz wept. The best part is that I absent-mindedly set one of them on my bass cabinet just as we went to play "Radar Love" and of course about...

    Damn, a lot of bass ballers around here. I've got a fairly simple rig, that I use both here at home for practice and also at my gigs. Heads: Mark Bass Little Mark III for gigs & at home, Mark Bass F1 Limited Edition for rehearsals. Cabinets: Mark Bass 400W 4Ohm 2x10 cabinet, Mark Bass 300W...

    2026 Rides

    Anyone that wants to come East from the GTA, I'm happy to meet anywhere North and West of Bancroft etc. and run a little ride through some great roads more local to me (depending on how far North). Warning: I don't ride dead on the signed speed and I avoid long straight roads. Happy to run...

    Christmas Whatcha Get Thread

    My first day of college in Sept. '87, they played Sneaker's Pub at St. Lawrence College (Kingston campus). Most of the songs they played were covers of the Who, Pink Floyd etc. and they were flogging a few newly minted songs for their upcoming release (Up To Here, 1989). I can't for the life...

    Christmas Whatcha Get Thread

    That's awesome. I get to see a few of them out and about in Kingston, my ex's brother was friends with Rob and his family. We played four covers of theirs last night at the Tir Nan Og downtown; I think we did them justice. Seeing people hang this kind of thing on their wall makes me wonder...

    I do all my own work

    Actually true. I've used that, soaked in oil, to reseal the bottom end of a two-stroke motor before. Not only held, but held for years.

    How long do you keep your motorcycles?

    Nobody ever respects the little bikes until they FAFO. :)

    Honda bringing back the V-4 ?

    My RSV4 - the really good V4 - with stock gearing will do 144.5kph at 13,500 in first gear, and redline is 14,300. I say really good, because nothing sounds like them... roar, bark, gurgle, scream, they have a character all to themselves that the Ducati and Honda v4s just don't match. That...

    NASCAR star Greg Biffle....

    I agree with all of that. But I also know that if I lost a friend suddenly like that (sadly, I have), I might slip up. There's a few friends in recent years surrounding racing and motorsports that come to mind. Had a really hard time with them, mentally. RIP Tim, Jose, Grant, Ali. Ain't...
