    Speeding Ticket - Fighting it Help

    ^All of this. They can't just give you disclosure and expect you to mount a defense on the spot. You ask for a dismissal or worst case you ask for an adjournment which then buys you time and hopefully creeps into violating your right to a speedy trial. Good luck and just remember that the...

    Is this the beginning of the end for Harley?

    H-D had to do something to address the smaller displacement market so I think its a good move. At the end of the day, I figure its always good to have more choice and more interest in the motorcycle marketplace.. In Canada, we've had such limited choice for so long so its nice to see all the...

    Buell EBR racing unveil the 1190RX

    Erik Buell is a true motorcycle enthusiast who has had far more success in his life than the vast majority of motorcycle enthusiasts in this entire world. Why someone like yourself feels the need to criticize this because the guy has released imperfect products is something I don't understand...

    Buell EBR racing unveil the 1190RX

    Nope. If HD didn't want him using externally sourced motors, they would of stopped him from doing so.

    Buell EBR racing unveil the 1190RX

    So much misinformation here about Buell. HD still owns the company known as "Buell". EBR is Erik Buell's new company. The reason HD shut down Buell is quite simple. The new CEO who was appointed in 2009 following the 08/09 global financial crisis felt that the ROI for every dollar spent was...

    "A (Mostly) Scientific Ranking of All 140 Neighbourhoods in Toronto"

    Those rankings are so incredibly ridiculous its not even funny. The problem is they seem to be giving EQUAL weightings to each category of criteria. Like, as if crime has equal significance to diversity or shopping!!! For example, they rank Wexford/Maryvale #6 overall on the list even though...

    Online Store for Survival/Outdoor gear?

    I think a down jacket + a windproof/waterproof shell can handle most weather except for when it gets really cold. Put on a couple more layers including a fleece and you're good to go. I got a Marmot 800 fill down jacket that can be squished and folded into one of the pockets and a First Ascent...

    Supplements?

    Nobody needs to do squats ATG/full ROM and you can make some strength and size gains doing those barely parallel style squats where you don't really dip into the "hole". I did those kinds of squats for years before I really embraced learning excellent technique. But for me, squats ATG/full...

    Practical Car vs Fun Car as a second car! - Sub 20k or less!

    I think Ive only ever seen 1 of those GTO's on Canadian roads ever. There can't be that many around so if you want a more unique ride its a good choice. I see a good amount of G8's but not really any of the GTO's. Clearly the aussie made cars did not sell well. Probably because giving the...

    Car Buying Advice (Off topic)

    It sounds like OP is trying to be sensible making a not-so-sensible purchase... Im thinking of doing the same, mostly to just enjoy some money for a change. Still, owning (and in this situation FINANCING for that matter) an aging, rapidly depreciating, expensive to maintain car just doesn't...

    Supplements?

    Doesn't look that good to me. If you look at the price per serving, its nothing special and it also contains caffeine, not sure if you want that or not. Then you consider that 1 serving only contains 3g of BCAAs while a product like Xtend contains 7g + 2.5g glutamine, + electrolyte blend...

    Supplements?

    I should post this link in here since on the topic. Alan Aragon's take on supplementing with BCAA's... Its short but the even shorter version is he thinks its a waste of money. I agree for the most part in saying that if you have a high protein diet, there is no "need" but in any case I do...

    Supplements?

    Ive tried a few different ones but the one I like the most is Scivation Xtend. Check out nationalprotein.ca from time to time and try to catch a decent sale. The regular price is $70+ which is expensive but they had in on special for quite a while and it was like $50 something bucks for the 90...

    Supplements?

    I love canadianprotein.com and sometimes pick up a few things from the sister site nationalprotein. Im pretty sure it was HardWrkr13 who mentioned it in the other fitness post and thats how I found out about it. So glad as they have good stuff. Chocolate Peanut flavoured whey FTW. I buy the...

    Supplements?

    It always goes back to what the individual's goals are. I think a lot of dudes get into lifting because they want an impressive physique but then they get somewhat derailed and roped into ego-stroking and then start focusing more on lifting heavy weight than taking the right steps to improve...

    Supplements?

    Nothing wrong with the leg press, I like it after a round of ATG squats or in substitute when the back isn't feeling all that great but I would never use it as a measure of strength. I see lots of guys throw on 700 - 1000lbs and then do these little mini range of motion presses while they also...

    Supplements?

    No kidding. I usually stay away from caffeine and therefore from pre-workouts but I got some free samples of 1MR a couple weeks ago and decided to try it in 1/2 doses... Wow. Even at 1/2 dose I had some seriously intense workouts as a result. I felt fired up. I would not take it regularly but...

    Working out! Fitness! Nutrition!

    Reading your last post, I was thinking "dude probably needs more sleep" and sure enough it sounds like thats a big problem for you. Whenever I feel the most remote symptom of getting sick, I make sure to allocate enough time to sleep for at least 10hrs, even if I dont sleep the whole thing...
