    What's Doug Ford's stance on indentity/gender politics and politcal correctness?

    What's so awful about this sex ed curriculum that's got everyone's panties all bunched up? The old curriculum was just that, old, so shouldn't it be updated after a decade or so? I don't have kids, but asked my coworkers and friends what they thought of their sex-ed-aged children going through...

    Narrow touring bike bike for old hips??

    Adventure tourers should be the segment you're looking at I would think. Tiger800, FJ-09, Vstroms. That'd be my recommendation for comfort 2-up and narrow width

    HD V-Rod dead ?

    I'd also like to add that the Diavel was a much better bike in every sense save build quality/reliability, which was pretty much the same.

    HD V-Rod dead ?

    Sad to see the vrod gone. While it's been a long while since I had one, it was a great bike ... had some qc issues, but I expected that buying a harley. I remember once driving past a canadian tire and my shifter just fell off ... fortunate timing for roadside repairs! That beauty bike now...

    How do you feel about the decline of petrol vehicles?

    Now that's an ugly car. Too much CrossTour and a lot of weird wheel-covering.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    At about 4000kms thus far, I've traveled about 500 using gas and about 3500 using the battery. On the old FJ, at (a generous, IMO) 14L/100KMs, it would have cost me $700 using premium at 1.25/L (again, generous ... but i usually filled up at costco when possible). I calculated a Volt cost of...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I predict Tesla will largely supply batteries in 10 years time as the big guys [seriously] get on board with electric.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Thanks PP; it's a Gen2. I may future proof a little and get something capable of 30amps, even though I know the Volt won't charge at that rate. I'd rather not modify the EVSE that comes with the vehicle, for a few reasons, including using it as a 120V travel charger. Now, if only I could...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Ya, I don't think I'm going to go that route. As far as I can tell, Wynne is paying for half of the install up to $1000, so I'll take that money before voting her out next spring (Weed at LCBO, last straw!) ... May look at cheapest option for an outdoor plug. Please let me know if you've had a...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Hoping to get some advice RE the EVSE chargers. I just purchased a Volt, and would like to get Level 2 charger for the garage. It looks like I could add 240V to the garage (two 40A breakers used in main panel for the garage; garage panel is rated for 120V/240V and there are enough empty slots...

    Sanitizing History???

    So, wait? You think the Charlottesville City Council is akin to ISIS? I'd love to hear you expand on this. Are the city's elected officials trying to gain territory to form a Charlottesvillian state? What would that look like? Is the mayor, or the woman who first suggested moving the...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I've got a question(s) for the Volt folk. I recently had the opportunity to drive a model S and loved it. One of my favourite bits was the regen braking and one-pedal operation ... also roller coaster-like acceleration, but that's not in my budget. Does the Volt's regen work in the same...

    Keanu Reves on Jay Leno's Garage/Arch motorcycles

    Diavel's look similar and cost 1/4 the price. $80K is nuts.

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    Ok, not Toronto, but fits the title. Here we have a six-year-old, crashed Sportster. Harley has brought it back to new condition and, as such, is priced accordingly...

    New Bike Without Test Ride

    I bought my FJ-09 this year without a test ride and have been very happy with it, albeit after a few modifications. The stock windshield is useless - take it off or replace it - and the bike is fairly vibe-y at speed, especially in the hands and feet. There are inexpensive solutions for...

    Toronto police bike accident in Toronto today. Formation riding at fault?

    I'm not sure using the ST1300 in the case of the Brits is such a great argument ... I'm pretty sure those things have killed a few Brit officers due to severe instability at speed.

    1903 | A Harley-Davidson® Café

    As far as I can tell, they don't sell bikes at the cafe. There is still no where to buy a Harley anywhere near downtown. I get the marketing angle, particularly given the location (there's always at least a few bikes parked out front of TownMoto), but IMHO they should have leased a bigger...

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    Six. I think. If every (6) adult drove 5,000 miles, is it a 30K mile bike, or did every adult (6) drive 833.33 miles? Inquiring minds. Exactly. I mean, never mind the 12,000 dollar price tag on a 14-year-old bike (one in which i paid $14,000 for an '08 way back when), it takes a special...
