    Retro bikes

    The Kawi W650 was a Bonneville look-alike, not an Enfield. The mind gets more feeble with age, dunnit? ;)

    New rider looking for a new bike!

    Welcome to the GTAM jungle. Just a couple of pointers... it's not a good idea to post your phone number on Kijiji (or any other online venue, for that matter). And being 19yrs old with limited experience on a scooter with CVT drive does not make you an "experienced" rider. You should seriously...

    Harley Sportster 1200cc First Ride

    A friend of my Dad's stopped by to visit one summer back when I was 13 and we were living in northern Ontario. He had trailered his Honda 350 dirt bike with him and, after a brief lesson on clutch and throttle, I was allowed to ride it. Took to it like a duck to water and spent most of the next...

    Wow. I thought I was the only one with a deep, almost pathological hatred of them.

    Increase Ontario 400-series Highway Speed Limit

    I think we had this conversation before but, yes, I was in Lahr. You were still crapping in your diapers when I left in '86. ;)

    Increase Ontario 400-series Highway Speed Limit

    I'm not German and neither is my brother. I was stationed there when I was in the military.

    Increase Ontario 400-series Highway Speed Limit

    The USA is a more realistic comparison to our driving rules than Germany, perhaps you should use them as a reference instead. Canada, unlike Germany, does not have signage for priority roads, traffic cameras in the 30kmh zones, a "no trucks after midnight" law on the major highways and other...

    Increase Ontario 400-series Highway Speed Limit

    Some people can only focus on the Autobahn speeds and ignore everything else, like the reasons you've mentioned. What slays me are the people saying that there should be more police enforcement of existing laws; while I agree with that sentiment I don't think some of them realize that it...

    RIM Playbook. Limited sale... $200

    Takes longer to spool up with OS2, but that is offset by finally having a cut & paste feature. I like the pop-up keyboard for entering passwords on sites, it's nice having the number bar on top instead of having to tapdance on the ABC/123 button... Too bad it isn't on the regular keyboard. My...

    2012 Auto Show

    The wife recently traded in her '09 Impreza for a new '12 Legacy. I really liked the Impreza, but this new Legacy is a much better car.
