The way this is being presented is a little weird. "FMVSS No. 218" is the DOT standard, therefore you would wonder shouldn't this be an immediate problem in the USA as well? The answer is that the manufacturer recalled these in the US 3 months ago: Home | NHTSA

It depends on the fine print. E.g. when I did FAST some years agos, there were two levels of insurance. Let's say one had the deductible of $2000, and the other $500. However, they stressed it was a true deductible i.e. if the cost of the repairs was less than the deductible, then that's all...

It has been more than a hot minute since I did FAST Phase 1 & 2 (Michel Mercier was still teaching) but I had so much fun doing it. I rented gear & a bike, and was completely happy with both. I think the only thing I regretted about the whole experience was a questionable ham sandwich from the...

Beer, videogames, and snacks? AND they're sending me a cheque to pay for it? Oh boy. I'll bet the call from EKOS Research comes on the same day the cheque does

At the end of the day it does represent a choice. Trucks can be an odd segment, because the "small" market is underserved, being unattractive for manufacturers to actually make them. It's not "exciting" but people want them exactly for what they are - utilitarian, reliable. You got what they...

Companies like Airalo negotiate deals with various existing carriers. I'm not sure what term applies for them, MVNO doesn't seem appropriate, but it would make sense to me that the deals would be for a limited amount of licenses and that they would have to re-up their agreements continually. The...

Right, I was just thinking about another layer. To "help" Parsons, since they had trouble meeting demand for the first rollout.

If this was rolled out January 2025 that would be an unprecedented success by the Ontario government. Although if I put my cynical hat on for a moment, Doug has established a pattern with "allying" with large private franchises to make things appear successful. Imagine say, all Canadian Tires...

I presume you mean travel eSIM, i.e. you are not looking for a new domestic cellular provider?

I once got a ticket for something or other (expired reg? out of date address on license?) and somebody advised me to get the problem fixed immediately, then schedule a first appearance with the prosecutor and give them the paperwork showing I took prompt action. I did this (prosecutor was a...

The benefit would be to not roll down the highway at 7000RPM

I saw this yesterday and was actually excited that I could stop using the 24 year old DR-Z400 as a punchline. I immediately got distracted by other things though I think "newish" is underselling it a little. New frame & suspension on top of the fuel injection and dashboard. It has ABS! ... but...

Hamilton and Alonso were both miserable due to the rough surface at Interlagos. It was a *little* funny that he got passed by both Colapinto and Bearman, but then Colapinto crashed and Bearman kept going off. Also funny was Norris being extremely salty about Verstappen's win. Verstappen's...

26% is supposedly 240 employees. I would link a source for this but the internet is being a nearly unusable ad saturated mess for me on mobile today. I always thought the frequency that GoPro released "new" products was unsustainable, but their marketing has been incredible for the whole time...

I'm not super read into Ducatis, but isn't the variable valve timing new? For their "small" engine at least. I know that they had it on the "big" Testastretta in 2014

I vaguely remember that you had to slew your head around in a comically exaggerated fashion in order to not get dinged for not checking for hazards. But man, that form looks pretty much exactly the same as I remember it

It's not a bad custom trike. Seller could reel in some extra contemporary audience by calling it a Space Marine themed bike

I just want to point out that dashcams that have GPS modules have the possibility of having GPS synchronized time. My Viofo A119 clone does this - furthermore, you can enable this without enabling other GPS functions that would record your speed (either directly or indirectly). As to this being...
