A popular helmet sticker for Goldwingers is "If you can read this, my wife fell off" I've never polled pillion riders but wonder if just sitting and looking at the back of a helmet for hours on end is a fun thing. I've only ridden pillion once but the rider in command was a buddy's really...

A ten hour recharge buys you 80 Km minus heating load to keep the cabin cozy. It's been mentioned that some commuters bundle up to avoid using the heater, especially if it's resistive. Unless everyone holds their breath, defrosters are needed. Obviously if you live 79 Kms from the parking lot...

Wouldn't the block heater circuits be the equivalent of a class 1 charger, 8 KMs per hour of charge. Has winter driving been factored in with the batteries supplying the heat? Heat exchangers are better but a friend got stuck on the 400 and the two and a half hour crawl didn't suck out the...

True / False As a crown corporation the crown owns it but isn't responsible for any debt should the corporation become insolvent. If true the government could be under attack if another crown corporation needed money and was denied. The pattern could be used against them.

175 square foot social area. Small RVs are bigger. I assume the bedroom and bath are more generous.

There's a discussion that starts with a butterfly flapping its wings in the Sahara and builds it into a hurricane in Florida. There are so many "and ifs" in the theory that it's impossible to get people to believe the reality that it's the opening of beer cans changing the weather.

He may get the tab for the guardrails.

In the USA they are using reading competency failure to pull drivers off the road. Would this be a factor. Also what defines "heavy"? I've seen a class D heavy truck come through the hairpin (10 wheeler cargo)

Near me, Brafasco is flakey often with minimums. If that's their business model, so be it. Bolts plus will sell anyone a bolt.

There are enthusiasts, then collectors, then museum owners, going up the money ladder. Serious collectors and museum owners can play tax games to offset their purchase prices. They don't go after the low end stuff because they have the money and facilities to look after the collection. They go...

I've been watching some Mecum auctions lately and not the upper crust stuff. Some cars are going for the cost of the paint job, maybe less. The combination of aging out boomers, the post Covid re-think, housing and job security issues, DJT antics etc has made vehicles once thought of as...

I got delayed going up Carlingview on Saturday with the road closed. I asked the LEO for an alternate route and it wasn't easy. There are huge blocks of land with no cross roads. The airport, a golf course, the 427, 409. I asked if the closure was a crash or crime and was told both. Sounded...

FIFY

Sport bike = Adrenalin rush Touring bike = places to go Cruising bike = only place to go is Timmies and the coffee is now crap.

I don't drink much scotch but keep a small bottle for ceremonial purposes. I have a silver quaich that gets dusted once in a while. However my stash of modest single malt is getting low and I'm too cheap to buy a full bottle. The LCBO doesn't seem to carry 375ml bottles of Glen Fiddich.

In Toronto proper one can live without a car. Walk to neighbouroods, 24 hour transit, high cost of parking when you can find it. The burbs are different. How many Barrie drivers were trained in Toronto and retain the mind set?

To deflect attention from this fiasco the Liberal party is funding a $12 Billion lolly-pop festival in Trout Creek. Thinking of the children of course. Sarcasm font.

20 years? I was driving my brand new 1980 Buick and went through an amber light thinking "I could have stopped". I checked my rear view mirror and five more cars came through after me.

When you got to the gist of the problem was there a “Gotcha” sticker from Honda?
