    PA tire changer on sale Tuesday

    That Rabaconda looks pretty slick.I had a Nomar Classic setup along with one of their balancers. It was a nice solid unit built to last a lifetime. I had it anchored to the garage floor so not very portable. The Rabaconda looks like it would be perfect for soft sport bike tires at the track, I‘d...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Had a nice new Craftsman snowblower about ten years ago, neighbor borrowed it and broke a shear pin. He replaced it with a grade 8 nut and bolt without telling me. Next day I use it to clear the frozen windrow at the end of my driveway.I’m really biting into some ice and the impeller and auger...

    Memorable bike events.

    I saw Super Joe Einhorn brake the world indoor record, jumping I don’t know how many cars at the International Centre. He did it two nights in a row so it couldn’t have been that hard. Howard Cosell and Evel Knievel were there the first night as commentators for Wide World of Sports. I was there...

    Canada post rant

    My brother drives a delivery truck for Canada Post. I call him the Parcel Arsehole. He’s the most entitled loser you’ve ever met.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    I just tried to play a Neil Young song out in my garage and realized that he pulled his catalog from Spotify, so not exactly a perfect set up. Some might disagree.

    Jay Leno at it again

    I’ve ridden a few H2s back in the day and the ’72 was definitely the best year. Each year they got noticeably slower due to carburation and exhaust changes to meet emisions. My brother had a real nice ‘72 with chambers and K+N pod filters that had the carbs set up by someone that really knew...

    Are you old enough to remember these motorcycle shops in To?

    I was just thinking that. I bought a brand new 1980 Suzuki GS750 from Sonic Motorcycles in my last year of high school. I paid $3100 + 7% provincial sales tax. I made $3 an hour working minimum wage at Budget Rent A Car. So I had to work over 1000 hours to pay for that bike.

    Are you old enough to remember these motorcycle shops in To?

    I use to go in there occasionaly , it was run by a Czech guy and his wife. Generally pretty nice but he could be pretty cranky if you caught him on a bad day.Dont remember his name but it could have been Jerry. Funny story about that guy. A few years after it closed I remember opening up a Cycle...

    Are you old enough to remember these motorcycle shops in To?

    I use to drive by that place every day. I think Dick had a falling out with Honda or something like that in the late 70’s He locked the place up with bikes and showroom paraphernalia still in there. You could look into the front window, it was like a little time capsule in the 80’s and 90’s. I...

    Honda VFR1200 or ST1300

    I think that was the trade off for comfort on both the 800 VFR and 1200 VFR. What it also got you was stability at high speeds.Lighter sport bikes are great on the track or billiard table smooth roads but when you hit a pot hole or bump on an Ontario backroad at warp speed it ain’t fun. The VFR...
