    Toronto bans electric scooters

    It's my spring and fall ride. The off motorcycle/snowmobile season. I also hope it helps with cardio.

    Toronto bans electric scooters

    I don't have mine yet but it's a 500w motor and comes with a DOT helmet. I won't be on busy streets, mostly in the ganny forest.

    Small trailers?

    In my 41 years in the trades I've seen all kinds of horrors. Bearing buddies a cheep at princess auto and get lubed prior to any use. Grease is also cheep. Changing bearings on the side of a road is no fun.

    Small trailers?

    I bought this at Lowes for $1300 a few years ago. I can't believe it's now $1900. It was the only small trailer I could find with a 2X6's for a wood floor. Others have that cheep mesh S**t. I added an articulated wheel chock, six floor tiedown points, spare wheel and bearing buddies. I also...

    I'm too damaged from the crash to ride a dirt bike. Until I get a hip replacement dirt bike is not happening.

    Toronto bans electric scooters

    I just ordered a e-mountain bike. Peddle assist, no throttle. I'll bet that is a loop hole. Anyway I'm using mine off road. Yall with dirt bikes don't run me over ok.

    Riding options.

    2 years ago I came off the bike (totalled it) and found myself in the hospital for a month. I am paying the insurance extortion now and I'm almost done with this S**t. At the time it was 38 years without incident. I hit some gravel and came off. I'm thinking of just doing track days and...

    Flat repair

    I picked up a small piece of spring steel wire in the rear tire. I plugged the tire and rode all day with no issue. Checked a few times and psi was acceptable. 2 days later tire deflated by about 15psi. Ordered new tire. Shame because tire has more than 1/2 it's life left. Too bad a no-mar...

    How Many Of You Have Been Forced To Become Amateur Mechanics?

    So you're calling the entire nuclear industry liars? We most certainly use an accelerometer station to calibrate torque wrenches. If I didn't then I would have been terminated decades ago. Perhaps your definition of an accelerometer and ours is different? I have also uses various types of...

    How Many Of You Have Been Forced To Become Amateur Mechanics?

    Without an accelerometer it's anyone's guess. I would expect a snap-on product to be superior to a Canadian tire tool. Having said that, an un-abused and good condition torque wrench is better than no torque wrench or just guessing. My personal torque wrenches are only left in the "on"...

    How Many Of You Have Been Forced To Become Amateur Mechanics?

    I've been a machinist, millwright and heavy industrial mechanic/technician for 41 years. I have seen all types of horrors so nothing surprises me anymore. Where I used to work we had to calibrate torque wrenches before and after each use with an accelerometer and enter the tool number...

    How Many Of You Have Been Forced To Become Amateur Mechanics?

    I do but then I grip it with my hands afterward and see if I can gain a little more, just in case.

    Start hoarding your gas powered motor bike. 2035 is the last possible year for gas powered motorcycles to be sold in Canada.

    That's it!! I'm done. Headed off to the garage and going to invent a steam/coal powered motorcycle. As per the first law of heat and thermal dynamics, I should get about 3km per ton of coal lol. See how silly this is? You can't get more energy out of said unit of energy (see first law of...

    Another lockdown=less riding?

    I didn't happen to me (but could have) but I heard the police were targeting a sled in a truck or being trailered.
