I'll just leave this here:

Saw a squid riding what looked like a 350 Rebel or something similar at Bayview and Sheppard yesterday. Normally that wouldn't be worth noticing, much less posting - every rider makes their own choices, whatever. But when you ride with your young daughter (who looked like she was maybe ten) on...

Now you're talking crazy! Ten whole dollars?! Whose got that kind of money?! :confused2:

Jig-a-loo has been around forever, though it's new to Canada. It's a light penetrating silicone lubricant, not really much different from WD-40. It's full of solvents though, so uh, I'm not sure I'd spray my clothes with it.

Haha, Fitz, you know how often I've ridden to work in the rain... guess you don't need to hear from me. I mean riding in rain isn't FUN, but it can be done safely.

Haven't been recently, but using the AR30 and sticking to the south shore shouldn't be too awful, though you're still in the outer suburbs. And, as mentioned, the 30 is a toll road. I suppose if you really want to stay as far away as possible, you can go through the States (take route 37 from...

RIP Rider. I live right by there too. My dad actually saw this and called to make sure it wasn't me!

Wouldn't be the first time I'd asked what the hell the point of our fancy increased life expectancy is if it just means that many more years of working like a dog. The future's here and aren't we happy!

Ah. Thanks. I think if it's nice weather I'm definitely going to try to get out to SOAR on Friday. Really haven't had the chance to get out of the city much this year yet.

What's the address of the shop? It's in Whitby, I think? Got a pile of work at the moment, but I might be able to get out next Monday or Tuesday (or is that your 'weekend' since you're working SOAR until Sunday?). Might even go to SOAR on Friday for a nice little afternoon trip if I'm lucky, but...

That's exactly how it happened for me, though I had been riding a moped for several years back when you didn't need a license at all - just had to register them and get a plate. Actually, since I was one of the very first people to go through the process of upgrading this grandfathered ML to...

I liked this exchange in the comments: :lmao:

See, that sounds good. Definitely interested in trying these on then.

That doesn't sound as bad as you might think it does to me. I prefer softer gloves with multiple layers (at least some padding on the palm and some extra protection for the knuckles) and the all-leather construction of your gloves sounds much better to me than the usual gloves with hard...

Works on an OS10 Blackberry, you say? Well, you have my attention.

The Sheppard Subway just makes me laugh and shake my head. For a couple of years I used to work up near Sheppard and Don Mills and actually took it all the time - and I still think it's a useless mistake!

Yeah, the definitions have changed somewhat over time. There was definitely a time not so long ago when "Irish" was a "race". I think it's sort of funny (and also incredibly depressing) how we've sometimes managed to approach doing great things again only to completely screw them up. Like the...

Haven't read it myself, but it looks good. That said, Ondaatje's book contains some real anecdotes mixed in but is clearly fiction. I don't know that I'd take it as any sort of authoritative look at Harris. It's certainly possible Harris was racist by today's standards and if Harris did turn out...

The strength of the buildings or the fact that they were built with the future in mind has nothing to do with their being built with "slave labour" as you call it. We're talking about design and planning, about being organized, having a map of where you want to go, and thinking about the...
