If you're not familiar with the Prof. Jordan Peterson case or his work I would suggest doing some reading and listening. This type of behavior is pretty standard across North American universities. Just look into who's been banned from speaking over the past year, unpopular opinions aren't...

No love for the S40 / LS650? It's a belt driven small cruiser. Not big on HP, but over twice the torque of the GZ. 200lbs lighter and 8in shorter then the M50. Now the M50 is a better looking bike, but cost wise both in purchasing and parts the S40 is a better option. My only concern is the lack...

I once spoke with a guy that claimed to have been a partner in the Guelph Eggcetra. He said that in order for a [pure] restaurant to survive it needed enough money behind it to last one year with zero customers. He was right because when me and my old man went in that first year we were often...

Well my DR200SE (which I'd be willing to sell) has rear pegs, however considering it's a light 200 (about 250lbs) I question how highway capable it would be 2up. Even alone on the 401 would be suicide. Maybe something more ADV like? I think you've got to be really skilled though to do any...

Mice being killed by pesticides and machinery is something that is going to happen no matter what diet you're on. Even an all meat diet, the farm animals eat farmed grains, hence dead mice. All plant diet, yes the mice are still dead, but the cows, sheep, pigs, birds and fish are still alive. We...

Right there's nothing moral or ethical about wanting to not contribute to the suffering of sentient creatures. A dictionary, buy one.

Already admitted to being wrong there. I like not having worms. Yes there's some meat you can eat raw, but if you saw someone take a bite out off a live fish you'd probably avoid them. And seriously your canines will not let you tear apart a cow. Wrong carbs. I lost 140lbs on a vegetarian...

Not buying the canine argument, your two canines can not compete with a carnivores teeth. They are not that sharp and we also don't have that much jaw strength. You could not just go to a farm and take a bite out of a live cow. Again humans have to cook an animal before eating it, totally...

Alright some quick research shows that I may have bought into too much vegan propaganda. Still not going to change.

Pleather jacket, jeans, synthetic boots and gloves. Although I might go textile next season as the pleather look on a Jap dual-sport or Italian scooter probably looks ridiculous. May also go full leather gloves too, the synth ones aren't very good. I used to think the same way. However every...

Dual Sport = Dirt bike with lighting and signals. ADV = Street bike with dirt bike elements (clearance height, all-terrain tires, better suspension) KLR is a dual sport, however because if it's height and weight some people will be hesitant to do anything too crazy. An example of ADVs would be...

For items like individual wrenches, sockets, spark plugs, etc I just use the big box stores online ordering with ship to store. Pick it up on the way home, without hunting through the (constant layout changing) store. I'll start with Home Hardware or NAPA first since their service is better...

Hard to say, I can't remember how many kms my Shadow had before being sold. I only had it for three months, but used it almost everyday to get to work and went out for 3-5hrs every weekend. My scooter is less confidence inspiring and the non-existent suspension makes rides over an hour...

Hopefully some province tells him off, probably Quebec. I don't know much about Alberta or BC politics, I know Alberta doesn't need this right now. Wynne will fold like an origami set.
