    My year long ACF-50 vs WD40 vs Naked rust inhibitor test

    Thanks for test OP. Where and when (on the bike) do you use e.g. ACF-50? Is this a 'for winter storage' product? On all metal parts (except brake rotor I guess)?

    Aleix Espargaro brake failure at Motegi

    I think he might have just fallen off. Went to hang off the bike and missed the right foot peg. ha ha I wouldn't have admitted it either.

    Resp?

    ^ you have to transfer to RSP the earnings on your contributions and the govt. grant. However, you can take out your original contributions though (as opposed to the earnings on them) without penalty. So there's no double taxation. http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/ndvdls/tpcs/resp-reee/

    Resp?

    Do it even if you're loaded. It's all about getting the $500/year/child from age 1 thru 17 - EDIT with max of $7,200 total grant/child. As others have said make sure you start a Family plan so if any one child goes to school the money can be used. Lots of schools are eligible i.e. your kid...

    Brake Flasher legal or illegal?

    I think they are illegal but I doubt any cop would penalize you for trying to be extra safe. I have one (goes solid after 4 flashes) and have had cops follow me with no probs. I wouldn't worry about it.

    KGB dismissal tactics Legal?

    My boss got called away to a meeting on a Friday and on Monday his half eaten muffin was still on his desk. Then some guys showed up to pack up his personal belongings e.g. " Is this his toothbrush?" , pictures of kids etc. It was indeed termination for cause, although no criminal code...

    Cure for cancer FOUND in CANADA!

    Sadly true. Very conflicted industry. They don't make money if you're healthy. Nor do they make money if it's a simple cure. And it shouldn't be called health care, because it's not.

    First Bike Crash - Advice Required

    Don't forget it's not as if you agreed to pay $575 beforehand. What if the towing company said you owed $10,000 would they have a right to collect - well same thing for $575? You might gently ask him how on earth you were expected to know that they were going to charge $575.
