    How Long Can Economic Reality Be Ignored?

    I'm much more concerned with what's happening in Ontario and Canada then the crapshoot that is the American election. This province has been dragged into the mud by the liberals and nobody seems to care. Wynne will likely win another election due to the conservatives constantly being painted by...

    The Mandarin

    The food there doesn't have much in common with real Asian food. Asians tend to eat very light, large quantitys of chicken balls or pork smothered in sugar based sauce is an American invention. It's sort of like Italian pizza versus Chicago pizza, one is a small meal, the other a family sized...

    Any good shops that specialize in vintage bikes?

    A bit outside Toronto, but I spoke with the guy that runs Cycleking Inc (@ Derry & Dixie) while at the Paris Vintage Rally. He deals mostly with Goldwings (old & new), but probably knows his way around any old Honda and seemed well at sourcing parts. He knew the brake caliper I was holding onto...

    insurance for M2, no G, under 25

    No. He can transfer ownership without insurance. If the safety is done it'll be registered "fit", no safety "unfit". You need insurance for plates, not the safety.

    PSA- Beware Kijiji Scum

    I would never carry around $12K in cash, not even as ransom money for my own mother. A bank draft or a trip to the bank. Carrying that around is just asking to be a mugging victim.

    How should i pick up the bike i am buying?

    Wait you still haven't viewed the bike? Do you know the guy you're buying it off or is this a kijiji/autotrader purchase? Because you should really see the bike before doing anything. Legally if it's going to be ridden on the road it needs to be insured. Towing you won't need it. I believe...

    What's a good first car?

    Haven't read all 5 pages, but I agree with buying used first. You're starting out, don't finance. Also only hand over the cash after the car is certified. If they won't let me take it to a mechanic first, I walk away. Don't go luxury either, the parts and maintenance costs are too high. Find...

    Open face + no windshield = ????????

    So general consensus is to try visor up + glasses and that the people who ride totally open may need mental help. That or the usual "be a man, suck it up" approach.

    Scooter suggestion

    I recently bought the same scooter, a 2006 Piaggio Fly 150 several weeks ago. I use it mostly to get to work, but on the weekends I have taken it out through Halton and one longer trip to Elora. Overall it's alright, you'll beat (most) cars off the line in the city, but it lacks passing power at...

    Donald Trump: Sociopath?

    From 34:00-39:00. I don't think you'd hear much from the old guard republicans about getting black youths jobs or defending gays. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CVTuOyZDI0 Now the speech is full of fear mongering and Trump has trouble saying how he'll actually fix anything that isn't...

    Open face + no windshield = ????????

    Can someone please explain how so many people seem to pull this look off? While scootering around this weekend (today is maintenance day) I kept getting hit by rocks, sand/dirt/mud and insects, including a big *** dragonfly that made me stop to clean my visor off. I only have experience with...

    Donald Trump: Sociopath?

    This is an election between two sociopaths. The reason you don't notice it with Hillary as much is because her speeches are written, rehearsed and on a teleprompter, versus Trump who just says what's on his mind. That and the media like to pick out the best of Hillary's speeches and the worst...

    Hello and annoying newbie questions :-)

    This is my checklist: Before starting: - Crash damage (tank dents, steering locks, swing-arm damage) - Tank interior (clean vs rusted) - Electrical (lights, horn, etc) - Oil level - Chain condition - Suspension & brakes (sit on the bike, hold the front brake and rock back and forth) - Tire wear...

    Daily observations

    Cookie Monster helmet guy on Britannia this morning. He was stopped right beside me, but unfortunately my camera didn't pick up the front. Took off like a total hooligan of course.

    Thinking of scootering

    Suppose I should finally update this. Sold the BWS50 on Friday to a 17 year old kid, I hope he doesn't get himself killed. A week back I bought a Piaggio Fly 150. Much better at staying with traffic, aside from the usual maniacs. Went for a couple hour ride around Halton and Flamborough this...

    No lets not just take pictures of the bike, but lets print them out and then take pictures of those. Brilliant.

    Thinking of scootering

    Yeah beginning to wish I'd waited a bit, this BWS50 is way too slow even for my short inner city commute. I really wanted to get back on two wheels though. I think I'll go find a nice 125-150. Anyway if I can find a buyer, does anyone know if the safety is still valid if I only have the...
