But, but...isn`t the never ending tsunami of tech supposed to make our lives easier, more beneficial and affordable? Try explaining this to the average hammerhead with their face in a phone 24/7. No argument from me, we`re done.

Is an ejector seat standard on these new Chinese EV`s? Sounds like some serious stupidity, obviously no seatbelt, how the hell do you get pitched out at parking lot speed?

I knew a guy that worked for Loblaws buying future investments of property. They sit on serious coin `til it`s time to act...and once in a while a sweet deal pops up.

Yup. Follow the money for the answer. Always. Like Hans Landa said..."Ooooh, that`s a bingo!"

Same way Trudeau amassed 500 Million in 10 years on a PM`s salary. How about Nancy Pelosi`s net worth on her salary? I`d think there may have been a small amount of criminality at play.

I used to think Ford was OK-ish,...he`s actually just another politician. A pompous blowhard dork out for his own good and the good of his wealthy buddies, the rest of us be damned. The science center sat on a primo piece of real estate, doesn`t Ellis-Don or one of the big players own a huge...

I was looking at Riders Plus, running numbers for a bunch of bikes. They`ll cover me for a `26 Hayabusa or `26 HD Low Rider ST for about 1600 bucks/yr. There`s about a 10 grand price difference between the 2 bikes. That was for stand alone policies, I never looked at bundling my car and house...

Around 1980 I went on a tour with a company called Western Adventures. About 14 or so met up in Vegas and we toured the SW for two weeks. It was run by a guy named Volker Beer who left his his corporate BMW job and moved to Tucson. We all got different bikes, R65, R80 and R100 depending...

The site you linked, phys.org is great. I stumbled on it a while ago and check it daily.

Possibly somethin else...if the ZX has a steering damper. Any chance the damper got tweaked in the crash, even so slightly bent and isn`t moving smoothly through it`s travel.

Years ago I read an article in the late, great Cycle magazine. Have you tried loosening all the pinch bolts on the front end? Letting the front end "relax" if you will, and re-tightening them. Any chance the rear wheel is drastically out of alignment too? Factory chain adjustment marks are...

Don`t be the wealthiest man in the cemetery, enjoy your life today while keeping an eye to the future. Don`t make money an obsession though. My ER nurse and Paramedic neighbor couple see "Here today, gone later today" pretty much everyday. You never know is right.

Hi Kev, nice selection of bikes. The 400`s are proper motorcycles as Dog intended, be a real shame if you had to sell the green one to me. :p We`re of similar age and experience, looking forward to your input here.

That used to crack me up...."I`ll stay here in the helicopter while Jim wrestles the Komodo Dragon". :p

Standing up close to the window overlooking my deck. A Dove has been sitting on a bench right outside the window, out of the icy breeze and in the warm sun for about an hour or so. In a split second the window is filled with red-tailed Hawk, swooping in hard on the brakes and talons/feet out...

And don`t turn around and run the other way. Don`t be the squirrel. :p

Does it have to be a Toyota dealer? Any brand dealer will do a tire swap in my experience.

Any recommendation for a wealth manager that can be trusted? That`s interesting, PM me if you`d rather, Thanks.

I`ll be 70 in 2027, mortgage free for over a decade and no other debt. Savings and investments are good, work and gov`t pensions are OK. Reverse mortgage is a minor consideration, downsizing to a purchased condo possible, maintenance fees are absurd in most of them, and an independent living...

Here in central Ontario I`m down about 65 grand from last summer. Used the RBC calculator(FWIW), from 725 to 661, adding in the upgrades takes it to 699. Consider too that nothing is moving here, same listings forever on Realtor.ca Any of us here approaching the age of 70 that sure puts a...
