    Parking on sidewalks!?!?!? Wtf

    Malcolm Gladwell is a really engaging author, I quite enjoy his take on sociology and many other topics. All three of his books are a "must read" for any thinking person. Most of the time when I read his articles I'm saying to myself....this is stuff I've always thought about or pondered but...

    Parking on sidewalks!?!?!? Wtf

    Exactly like the "one piece of trash" sociology! People should read Malcolm Gladwell's piece on New York. http://www.gladwell.com/1996/1996_06_03_a_tipping.htm

    Parking on sidewalks!?!?!? Wtf

    People get upset at things that are illegal here, because the laws were put in place to keep this country from becoming exactly like most of the countries people like awyala left to come here...laws like "you must park in the street and not on the sidewalk" are the most basic form of control...

    CB400 Bobber was running

    The R stands for "resistor"...you likely have resistor caps and resistor plugs. (Not right for an old CB.) Take a look at your plug caps and see if they are resistor caps. Change to the correct plugs. (D8EA) You can get them from CDN Tire. It may not help but with too much resistance you end...

    Sticky Throttle

    They should replace the throttle tube then...it must be damaged or something for the cable to come out of the track. (If the cable had the right tension anyway.)

    Thoughts on The Misfit by Cleveland Cyclewerks

    It's chinese made garbage! This stuff looks good from far away but up close is only one tiny step up the ladder from an ebike. If I was your friend and you rode up to me on one of those I would literally cock punch you...just to teach you a valuable life lesson. If you want a cafe racer, get...

    Parking on sidewalks!?!?!? Wtf

    It's just more evidence of the "me first" selfishness epidemic that is plaguing the entire country... I've seen that parking in Montreal and wonder how the cars get out of the spots with bikes tucked into every nook and cranny....interesting.

    Suspended Drivers License 7 years ago

    Interesting point I found out from an insurance company when I was applying for new insurance a year or two ago...while the ministry only punishes you for infractions for 3 years on your drivers abstract...the insurance bureau of Ontario keeps records forever. When you apply for insurance, and...

    top exhaust doesnt heat up?!

    Ok, I'm going out on a limb here...your rear cylinder isn't firing. It will still "blow about the same pressure" because an engine is basically a big air pump. You probably have no fuel getting to that cylinder. You said that cylinder is hot? If it is hot, and the exhaust isn't...then where...

    It's about time, MTO

    When they ride your ***...I think what they are really asking for is all the change in your pocket. At least when I throw it back to them at 100 km/hr they seem to go away...just saying. Sometimes stuff just falls out of your hand...there is little you can do about that.

    Olds Cool... Post-up Pics of your 10 year or older bike!

    Thanks Triple and Shortstop! So far she rides like a dream...I had her up to 80mph yesterday on a back road and absolutely steady as a rock. I've been inching up towards the ton, but I want to take it easy until I'm sure everything is just right. The timing and carbs seem to be fully dialed...

    Local Shops VS Online Dealers.....discuss.

    I have the opposite problem....retailers that have one of each item in stock for "trying on". I go in and figure out exactly what I want, and then they say "sorry, we have to order that"....you know what? I can order online too...I often tell them that. I go into a local store because I want...

    Chain drive in bath of oil

    You would have to use a non-oring chain for this to work best. I guess it would help with keeping the wear down on the sporckets...seems like you are adding more weight and complexity with this crap though. Is it that hard to just maintain your chain?
