    246kph on the 403 Mississauga

    So true. It pains me to see the punishment given in today's world. There is nobody I know growing up riding motorcycles that have not done pretty much what this guy did.

    Canadians working abroad

    A overly simplistic version of what happens. A US citizen living in Canada, technically should be filing 2 tax returns. One for Canada and one for the US. They generally can use their Canadian tax paid as a foreign tax credit to offset their American taxes. But, it is not that simple. There...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I agree, convenience is individual. I'm just saying that I believe many drivers are like me and the following would happen. I know myself well enough to know I'd be walking out to a cold, under charge car pretty much every morning. I'd have to somehow actually pay attention to how much "fuel"...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    That is the rub. For me, and I suspect a lot of other drivers, convenience wins over cost. Can the cost benefits be brought to the point where this flips? Imo, it will require something pretty special. Only the future will tell us that. Imo, the only way EV/alternate fuel vehicles will...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    This. Totally this. It has very little to do with all the reasons the EV/alternate fuel vehicle apologists make. To the average car owner, I'm one, convenience reigns supreme. Gas cars are simple. Drive a long time, when near empty fill up in a few minutes pretty much anywhere. Why would I...

    How crucial is education in the real world?

    This type of course should be mandatory at every school in every program. Well done.

    Helmet Exemption Coming for Sikh Motorcyclists in Ontario

    I too could care less if people splat their brains all over the highway. But, if you are going to exempt one group then you should exempt all groups. The gov't should just repeal the helmet law. Our heads, our brains...

    NBA free agency...

    Did you actually watch the NBA playoffs this year? Especially the Houston vs GS series. Houston was very close to winning that series. Is GS the favorite to win, of course. Will they be better with Cousins? Has to be seen how he comes back from injury and what his attitude is like. If...

    NBA free agency...

    The only thing I can think of is that Ball's injury is worse then what is being reported? Rondo does not provide a big upgrade to Ball, if any. I would not think they would trade Ball unless in a package to get Leonard? Benching Ball also does not make sense if he is your point guard of the...

    NBA free agency...

    Really? Cousins is a gamble for any team. He tends to be a locker room distraction. On the court he often just seems to float on defense. The fact he is coming off a major injury does not make his signing a slam dunk. That said, the gamble is a great one for GS. If he comes back from...

    American boycott

    Have you looked at the possible nominees? None are crazy. All will be in the mold of Gursuch. They will be staunch conservatives. I'd also guess all are somewhat religious. Will Roe be reopened? Who knows. Gorsuch tilted the court conservative. The Kennedy replacement will keep it...

    American boycott

    He would win again with ease. You must know the popular vote is irrelevant. No way I would see the electoral vote changing in any meaningful way. Regardless of your personal opinions of Trump he would have a lot to crow about in an election campaign. The dems are in a complete state of...

    American boycott

    And this is why Trump(republican) was elected. There was a very good chance of Kennedy retiring and still a chance of Ginsburg retiring during Trump's presidency. The chance to shape the SCOTUS for the next generation was waiting for whomever won. This is a big reason the republican senate...

    Tipping point: If an ambulance attends.

    Sounds nice but really shows a bias towards motorcyclists, which is fine as a dictator.. :) Btw, totally agree with ditching stunt driving/street racing laws. We as motorcyclists have to realize we are taking a much bigger risk of injury or death then a car driver. It is our choice to take...

    Not just motorcycle riders are in danger of cagers / idiots

    I work in downtown Toronto and commute by car or motorcycle. The problems I see on a daily basis are generally in the hands of the pedestrians and cyclists. They seem to believe that they live in a bubble and can do whatever the heck they would like. The amount of pedestrians who jay walk...

    Looking for suggestions on what to buy

    I like to park my bike by ripping in front of the spot and doing a big stoppie, while the rear wheel is in the air I kick it sideways and voila I'm parked. I guess I'm a lazy, untrained dullard.... :) In all seriousness why in heavens name would you dismount to park you bike?

    Track days, lawyers and lawsuits

    It is interesting to see how words can be interpreted completely differently by different folks. Dick's comment comes during a conversation about overthrowing the monarchy and making a "perfect" world. I think he is basically saying that the first thing to do in making a perfect world is to...
