Shush, you! You'll upset all the RIM bashers. ;)

I'm not exactly an Alpha Geek, but I found the tutorials easy to follow and understand and the Playbook itself easy to operate. I doubt your wife, who like all women by default is way smarter than I, will have very many problems.

I don't think I understand what you mean... if the Playbook can be tethered to the phone to check your email, why is it an issue? Also, if you don't want or can't tether it, what is wrong with using Webmail?

So the wife let me muck around with her Playbook this morning, after forcing me to watch all the tutorials first so as to lessen the chances of me initiating a self-destruct sequence or some other catastrophic failure. After a few minutes of playing with it, I realised what she had told me was...

I've had my Bold for over a year now, it still holds a full charge and has yet to let me down. The wife told me not to upgrade to newer versions of the OS right away when they became available, but to wait a few weeks until the bugs were worked out. Might be why mine has never locked up or...

This thread is bringing back lots of memories. But it needs pics!!!

You: Eastbound on the 401 near the Black Creek Rd exit, on a V-Strom(ish) looking bike at 04:45am in -5C conditions. Me: In my big jeezus truck in the slow lane, with a look of total amazement on my face. I salute you, sir.

Just finished the first week out on the road with my new co-pilot, "Diesel". He's a Pug/Boston Terrier mix that was rescued from a local puppy mill with a bad eye infection and other problems, then nursed back to health before being put up for adoption. He still has some issues to work through...

Quebec city to Immigrants: Don't bribe, avoid smelly foods (CTV Online) Where does one draw the line between a helpful immigration guide and blatant racism? Quebec always seems to be able to push the boundaries and get away with moving the line well into the racism area and this latest offering...

It wasn't until I made my own wiring harness, changed over to a negative ground system and scrounged a regulator/rectifier unit off an old military Can-Am that the electrical problems disappeared. I still had to occasionally "look back" while riding though, just to see if any parts had fallen off.

A Google search came up with this company: http://www.motorcycleshippers.com/s_Ontario.htm Or, as suggested already, you could rent a U-Haul trailer and do it yourself. Fly N Ride can be pricey, it all depends on where you want to go and what you want to rent. This article gives a bit of...

Strobe light?! Luxury. I remember kneeling by the road side in the pouring rain, setting the timing with a 12V signal light bulb and a length of wire.

Last time I looked at a new Wing was at the Harley/Honda dealer in Kingston back in '07. I counted no less than 46 different buttons within reach of the driver's position... way too many gadgets for my taste.

Yeah, points ignition is definitely old school. But I bought my '71 BSA A65T used back in '83, so I'm not quite in the same category as the bike.

Debatable. The majority of the problems with my Hinckleys were mostly electronic related and resulted in the "pickup truck ride of shame" back to the dealer to get fixed. With my old BSA, though, when the points crapped out I could get the beast running again with a piece of 600 grit sandpaper...

Baby steps. Yes, the first few episodes will take awhile, but as you learn the episodes will become shorter. Not right away, but in time they will. Um, that doesn't make sense... a 2nd bike will keep you away from the road twice as long as a single bike. Unless you plan to completely ignore the...

But wait... doesn't that negate the whole "police state" rhetoric? You know, the stuff like what you said...

I'm not going to dignify that kind of ******** with a response. Give your ****ing head a shake and smarten up.

Owning an old British bike puts one on the fast track to graduating with honours from the self-taught mechanics course. DAMHIK.

Y'all should band together and form your own group withing GTAM. You could call it the "Chicken Little Society".
