I rode one. It was a decent bike, but that motor? It didn't belong in a sporting bike. It just plain felt unhappy being hurried. It was never going to get many Sportster riders moving over. Compared to my Tuono at the time, which in a sense was a similar bike, it was chips and cheese... the...

If it has FWD, I won't consider it a sports car - don't care what Lotus had to say about it, they couldn't sell theirs back in the day for that reason. However, all this talk of the Prelude, it's not far off the price of my GTI. Rated at 241hp, it makes the same as the 281hp Euro variant...

Sometimes the best ride of the year is in the fall. This was a good one for various reasons. Lots of "exuberant" riding, 3.5 hours in the saddle, stayed incognito where the twisties are. Perth Timmy's, Perth Brewery is just across the road, didn't go up the 511 this time around.

It's been a few years since I was up there last. I need to do that more regularly.

I made more on investments than I made on my business income this year. Significant enough to live comfortably in retirement, though that's not the way you do it. I was surprised to have to drop Qualcomm this fall, but it was just under-performing. Invested in Brookfield, they're clearly...

Get a jug of water or bleach or something, pump the brake until there's pressure feedback and hang the jug off the pedal to keep pressure on. Do it for maybe 20 minutes, and see if it pumps up firm after that. There's probably air in the system.

I'm a heretic. I don't even wax my 911. Too busy driving it.

It's a loss leader for them. But it's still owned by Bell.

Primus *is* Bell. It's a Bell off-brand. Same as Distributel which Bell acquired Primus through. There's no real competition in fiber, not in almost all of Canada.

The OPP and TP are starting to fight back against the courts and the Province. Not only that, they refused to work with Gary the Chipmunk to confiscate firearms. Credit where credit is due.

That's the smart ones. There's few of those. The reason I know that they do it this way (either way) is that my tower climbers watched a couple of guys do it in a field nearby when they were up one of my telecom towers @ 250' or so. 😆 Same tower, about 10 years ago they called the police...

Both. They roll it up into stolen grocery carts, pour gas over it all to try and melt off the plastic coating, and then strip it all. It must be a cast-iron b!tch to do.

I've had their smoked porter, a little too sweet for me - but my palate varies, I might like it better on another day.

It does not taste the same, unfortunately. If you really like Dublin Guinness, what you can get here that more properly tastes like it (with a bit more booze in it) is "Foreign Extra Stout" which you can ask the LCBO to order for you, if you're serious about it. I really like several oatmeal...

The funny thing is that my diesel Chevrolet truck has cost me a LOT more to own than my 911 Turbo S. Even if you throw in the tire bills. And I take the car to the track.
