I used to be a Police dispatcher. Very clear, unspoken rule that cops don't charge other cops (or certain Mayors for that matter) with impaired. Happily left that job to go work for Fire. Skip to a few years later while on my way home from work I come across a very impaired driver. Called it...

When the gas cap finally arrived I got working on the tank. Flushed out the Rust Wash and was quite surprised with the results. Unlike the vinegar the tank wouldn't start flash-rusting immediately after being emptied. Pretty good stuff. I made sure to give everything a good wash and scrub...

No offence taken IF you submit a full ride report upon your triumphant return. :cool:

Awesome! Great ride report so far. Keep it up.

Next on the list of things to do is clean the tank. It isn't the worst tank I have ever seen, but it can be better. Researching all of the ways to DIY clean the tank I decided to go with plain old White vinegar. Inexpensive, non-toxic, easy to dispose etc etc. I watched some online vids and...

I’m quite impressed with this stuff too. It comes in a “Gel” and this Rust Wash. Bottles are almost identical so look carefully

Pulled the side cover off to get at the battery. It's been sitting awhile so I wanted to put it on a tender. Considering how slooooow the bike is I was toying with the idea of getting a lighter anti-grav battery. Especially since there is no starter motor and it only needs to run the lights I...

It is neat huh....and it's new to me. I'm used to having the Petcock in the tank. I wonder how many setups are like this:unsure: Yeah she's a gem. Parts for cubs are so plentiful and cheap in Japan she was able to get them easily.

So over the winter I brought the bike down into the basement. Made it a bit more convenient to work on it. I removed the seat, fairings and fuel tank which made the already featherweight 170ish lbs bike that much easier to bring down. Time to get that carb out and get cleaning. At my...

With the Intake hose repaired, time to see what the air filter looks like: I wonder when was the last time this Air Filter was changed. :unsure: If I remember correctly, when I bought the bike the Ad did say it had a new air filter installed....oh well. Can't dwell on that now. Time for a...

Haven't posted in awhile but lots of work going into the Super Cub. Thought I'd put some of it up here for those that are interested. Where we last left off I was beginning to dig into the Cubs innards. Compared to all of the V4's I have owned, this bike is quite simple. But, at the same...

My current place was rented through a Realtor. Real PITA. Homeowner did everything through them. Asked for a credit report from one of 2 companies. To get one quickly enough to apply I had to subscribe to their website and pay. Letter of Employement. T4. Personal references and atleast one from...

Don't get me wrong. An RX-8 is a cool car. But you haven't seen his vanity plate 🤦‍♂️ ...and if you're gonna quote my post SunnY, quote it accurately. ^^ You're making it sound like I said he's a typical old fart because he drives an RX-8, when I clearly said he's a typical old fart because...

Duplicate post. Please ignore.

That's very true.

My dad is a typical old fart that hates change. Very conservative, and anti-EV. Always sends me articles how crap they are and how unreliable they are. (ironically he drives an RX-8 lolol) Anyways, he's always sending me articles about Electric cars catching fire, and always brings up how they...

Congrats! Love the dress! Your husband looks sharp too. Does he ride? 😜

I never seemed to enjoy most bike meets. Though I am sure there can be some great people that I am missing out of the pleasure of getting to know, the bunch that want to chat are the loudest ones with the chip on their shoulder or something to prove. Even in my "youth" I couldn't relate to the...

River Road was the first thing that popped in my head when you said that. Also Hockley, Snake Rd, Side Rd 15, Mono centre, Lower Base Line w, Guelph Line...

Nope. Nothing. But seriously there ain't any. A lot of these roads that are being suggested are technically not in Toronto, and that's because you have to leave the city to get any decent riding in, unless you want to go "ramping". I feel you though OP. I asked the same question 5 years ago...
