    It's fantastic. We enjoyed Season 2 even more, I think. Have heard similarly good things about Season 3, though we cancelled our Crave subscription, so haven't checked it out yet. We're due to make some changes to our subscriptions as it's impossible to watch them all, so we chop and change and...

    GPS vs Phone

    I've heard very good things about the Carpe Iter handlebar controllers, and will likely pick one up this summer to combine with an Android Auto screen to pair with my phone tucked away safely somewhere. I've used an SP Connect mount for a few years with an old LG Android handset to protect my...

    Boat Rentals

    The surround on the transom comes off super easy (you can see a chromed finger nut on the port side). Otherwise, I'm fairly sure the raised and textured portions of the cockpit desk can come out as well, though with a bit more work. Still, all a pain, and either means more swearing and busted...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    More unsolicited advice time, but if it's my ad, I do a few things: - Clean those rims! Especially the rear wheel looks dirty, and it's accentuated by the chain lube drips. Ironically, the 'golden hour' pics are really highlighting that and it pops out when I look at it on my computer. I'd also...

    I think yours shows the clocks as the thumbnail for me. Make sure you post via the website and you can usually reorder the photos to make sure the one you want is the thumbnail...

    Boat Rentals

    Assume you mean a 24? I'm reasonably sure Limestone never built a 28, though Medeiros did under the Hunt brand, I think. Though with that XL beam, the 24s do feel a bit like a 28... $32k for a clean Medeiros-built example (meaning newer, not necessarily better than the Hinterhoeller ones) with...

    Spring trial

    Two things I'm always reminded of watching amateur trials: 1. A rider can go from looking like a ballet dancer on wheels to an epileptic wine maker crushing grapes in the blink of an eye. 2. The pros are absolute effing magicians with otherworldly talent. 3. Grassroots sport is the absolute...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    This can be a great source of deals if you're willing to roll the dice. But the flip side is I've gone to look at similar ads where the bike ends up being even worse than the ad suggests, with crappy photos disguising major problems or proving to be old photos with the bike now being in even...

    Are you Rotella or Motul?

    My Guzzi calls for 10W-60, so I'm stuck with boutique brands. Have a jug of Liqui-Moly for spring, and as they've been supportive of Canadian racing, I figure they're as good as anyone. About the same price as Motul and Motorex, and all made in Germany (I think?)...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    This is good advice. I sold my Tuono within 8 days in the fall because I looked at equivalents and undercut them by $500. Ended up selling for asking anyway, which is where a lot of those ads were likely looking to end up regardless. The bike was in excellent condition, and I was able to show...

    Aprilia does this from time to time with unsold models. I bought my 2018 Tuono in February 2019 for about $4k off sticker from International Motorsports in BC. Full warranty, mostly identical bike to a 2019 anyway. $16+ k for that bike is incredible value. That much gets you a much more basic...

    Used bike online listings.

    It's funny, in BC when I was there, everyone used Craiglist. Was a real shock coming to Ontario to find everyone on Kijiji. I personally much preferred the minimalist and clean interface of Craigslist, but considering both are being killed by FB Marketplace, it's clear that interface isn't what...

    BC Roads - What to ride, what to skip?

    Ah, if you want Ice Fields, then you could go as follows in Google Maps: - Edmonton - Jasper - Lake Louise - Lillooet - Vancouver - Nelson - Calgary Adds a bit to the previous route, but is much better than doubling back at the end. The above route really would be a 'best of' for the southern...

    Home office

    For standing desks, I have had one for years. The benefits of standings sitting I think are way less than once thought, but I still like to be able to mix it up and stretch a bit throughout the day. Sitting too long makes my legs ache. Where it was best was in my old office when I installed a...

    No tow points!?!

    Used to do a lot of work with tensioned cables, and sometimes shifting them involved pulling them with other cables and winches, which sometimes broke. We always used cable damper saddles with about 5 lbs of sand, set past the halfway point closer to the far end of the winch cable. The longer...

    MotoGP 2025 Discussion Thread *Warning: Spoilers allowed*

    This is what I'm doing his year, setting the PVR to record on Rev. First year in ages I haven't ponied up for the MotoGP.com package, but I didn't watch much except highlights past about the halfway point of the season last year, and I expect to watch even less this year. Will check back in when...

    BC Roads - What to ride, what to skip?

    If I wanted to get from Edmonton to Calgary by way of Jasper, Vancouver and Banff, this is the way I'd go: Gets you Jasper, but instead of the busy run down the Coquihalla, you divert through Lillooet and come down via Whistler and the Sea-to-Sky. It'll be very twisty and rugged (with...

    The "Official" Watch Thread and all Things Horological

    They are available on Amazon from a variety of sellers for less than $20, too, mostly identical but each with a different alphabet soup company name. I was just pleasantly surprised because I was expecting a bill north of a few hundred for regulation on the three pieces, so $18 was a bargain...

    LTTP on this, having been away for a while. but I've recently had good experiences with European Time in Oakville. Had been using a guy in Hamilton, but he got quite sick before Christmas and has cut his workload way back to only working on clocks, no watches. Took in a few watches for...
