    Don't confuse science with scientists. The latter can be bribed or forced to lie.

    Affordable thin-walled spark plug sockets

    Main thing is to check if the the gap has extended from electrode erosion, but that's rare with Iridium. The other is to decarbonize. With $5 plugs, it's easy to say F-it and just replace them. With $50 OEM plugs, it's a completely different story. Which begs the question - why do manufacturers...

    Eating out

    Smart. Drive customers away by shaming them for not topping up their salary when they chose to work for an industry that refuses to pay proper wages and the staff is relegated to begging. We used to eat out all the time, almost every meal. After hearing a waiter say something similar on the...

    Affordable thin-walled spark plug sockets

    The first time I tried using a hobby lathe, it wasn't powerful enough and all it did was scratch up the chrome plating. Second time, I used a file but went too thin and it split open when I twisted it. Third time I didn't make it thin enough and it wouldn't go all the way down into the well, so...

    Well, that didn't take long!

    What's the point when they can auction it off instead - they make some money, and someone gets a deal.

    Affordable thin-walled spark plug sockets

    Fortnine has these in various sizes for around $15. I got a 16mm with an OD of only 20mm, essential for my 2010 KTM 990 SMT with KR8DI plugs. Should also work better than the ground-down factory tool kit socket I was using on my 998 using NGK CR9EB's instead of the OEM Champion RGH4C's...

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    And at the end of that generation, they were also bundling a Honda-branded helmet, jacket, and I believe even gloves.

    Motorcycle Appraisal recommendations.

    I know Desjardins has that same requirement, at least when using an agent. I kept asking what specifically they need, but they said "just an appraisal". So I would start with a dealership and see if they will write you something simple on their letterhead. A Honda dealership did that for me when...

    Any Movement on Price

    Got this from the video below. Lots of mortgages renewing each month since the middle of last year until the middle of 2027 that likely started at much lower rates during 2020-2021. As more and more renew at higher rates, expect to see more and more toys for sale, especially with rising...

    If you thought that was bad, imagine doing it without the lift and stool.

    Your First Motorcycle Was a ............?

    I don't know why, or how they have the time to keep up on those. I joined some chats on a few different platforms, but if I didn't check the chat in real time, I'd miss a huge chunk of the discussion by the time I did and wonder what they were talking about. So I'd end up back-scrolling through...

    New pumps at Costco Gas - option to pay with only your phone starting Monday March 17

    Thought this might be of interest to whose who didn't know. At least this location updated their pumps a while back, but unlike the US where you can completely pay by phone by scanning your Costco app, you still need to swipe or tap your physical Costco ID (membership card or CIBC Mastercard)...

    Your First Motorcycle Was a ............?

    It was either an '88 Yamaha DT200, or the '89 DT200R. I knew squat about bikes, and wasn't into taking pics (of anything) back then. It was the cheapest street-legal bike I could find. I vaguely recall having a friend drive me out to somewhere like Orangeville to pick it up, and I rode it home...
