    407 ETR

    Based on my understanding the the 407 toll rates are set based on a formula which provides a certain amount of profit based on the maximum amount of vehicles it can can carry during peak hours without impeding the traffic flow. E.g. gridlock at rush hour. If I were to take it on a dayly basis...

    Premium Fuel price gouging?

    On average I have always noticed it to be approx. 20 cents above regular grade. I can handle using premium on the bike. I have no choice with my current bike. In the end its only a few dollars more per tank. For my dayly driver. I will only use regular as recomended. One thing I did consider...

    Mississauga and their Manhole lids

    Whenever you contact them. Do it by e-mail and always copy your local Councilor. This way there is a record. If they havent followed up to your satisfaction e.g did they actually go out and inspect the MH, what were there findings. ... Then followup by copying the Mayor, Councilor, Commisioner...

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    I don't understand the situation. These people tracked their own cars and then gave up waiting for the police to show up and left? I would of told the police I found my car . If no officer shows up within a reasonable amount of time. I'm calling a tow truck and getting it towed back home.

    Corsa Meccanica no longer a Piaggio (Aprilia/Moto Guzzi/Vespa) dealer (?)

    Just some experience from an intermidiate rider. My first two bikes were Japanese. Both were as expected extremely reliable. But again I don't ride anywhere near as much as most of you. So my experience will be based on time of ownership. Prior to purchasing my Ducati, I went in with the mindset...

    Ducati service in Vaughan, North GTA area

    OP I had a similar concern regarding trying to find Ducati authorized service for my Ducati ever since Maranello moved and stopped servicing Ducatis. I actually went with GPBikes. They came to pick up the bike in their trailor , did the service and delivered the bike back. This was over a 3 day...

    Looking to buy a small SUV

    Wow $45,000 for 3 year old Rav 4 hybrid base model with 50,000 kms. Crazy.. I purchased my 2021 Rav4 Hybrid XSE fully loaded for that price out the door. No wait time either. last summer. Good power great mileage. But I will be honest. Toyota reliabilty isnt what it used to be. So far had new...

    MAPLE LEAFS SUCK

    This is what happens when you build a team around flash players. They may score in the regular season and get away with winning alot of games. But when playoff time comes. They need real hockey players. The ones that scrap for puck , not afraid to get hit and hit back. The Leafs are not built...

    Cheaper alternative than aether pants?

    Those pants look very interesting. I am also looking for a motorcycle specific riding pant that is good in warm weather and that I can wear at work when I ride. The only concern I have with those is that it doesnt really menton much on the abrasion resistence. Most pants like riding jeans will...

    Working from home gets complicated

    True. But it doesnt take much for the insurance company to figure out you were using your vehicle for business related purposes and find cause to not only deny a claim but cancel your policy. Their priority is cover themselves and find any way out to paying anything. For the minimal premium...

    Working from home gets complicated

    In may case I would get expensed for the mileage of going to the job site. The expense is supposed to cover the insurance, gas, wear and tear associated with the business travel. It works out in the end. An example of when things could get complicated. A coworker went to a jobsite. His car was...

    Home Reno - Floor drain and weeping tile

    I also own a bungalo that was built in the 60's. My understanding is that the subdrain would be connected to a sanitary sewer and the eaves downspouts to the storm sewers. The reason being is that that the storm sewers are typically shallower than the sanitary sewers. Usualy only 1.5 m deep. So...

    Working from home gets complicated

    With regards to your personal vehicle. I have to visit the Construction sites for my type of work. Even though it may be only once or twice a month and the mileage is usually very low. Say 50 kms per month. I was advised the best way to protect yourself if somethong happens to you while on...

    2022 MotoGP Discussion (No Links - Contains Spoilers!)

    Curious why would Darryn Binder get a GP seat when there are others out there with alot more potential? Dont know much about him maybe I'm missing something here. But only one Moto 3 win and he's good enough to move up? Should of just kept Lecuona in MotoGP and offered him the seat.

    The curse of the double edge sword

    I made a pepper mix using black pepper, hot chili pepper powder. I placed that in back patio area where they were crapping to mark their terrotory. Seems to help. They aren't crapping there as much. Problem is as soon as it rains you have re apply after. You can also get critter ridder. Same...

    Hyundai Motor Recall Again

    I know of a few people with Mazda vehicles and so far I havent heard of any DI related issues with their engine designs. Mazda has come a long way ever since Ford was no longer involved with them. In fact Mazda is now near the top as far as reliabilty goes. Competing with Lexus and Toyota. For...

    Hyundai Motor Recall Again

    One reason why I didnt even consider Hyundai or Kia when I purchased my Rav4 Hybrid. I think the reliability of Korean cars are even worse than Ford or GM. Almost as bad as Chysler products. If you are concerned about direct injection vehicles and the carbon build up issues associated with...

    2021 MotoGP Discussion (No Links - Contains Spoilers!)

    Morbidelli deserved a factory ride by last year. He managed to finish 2nd overall on a bike that was older than all the factory riders. Once he gets back to 100% health and gets to spend more time on the factory bike. I honestly think he will be better than Fabio or at the very least more...
