Except that the number of jobs created by one company making self-checker-outer machines is far fewer than the thousands of people put out of work by them. As well, the people losing the check-out jobs are often termed "most vulnerable"; they are often students or older people working to...

I don't have an SS though it has be written that the Tuono is basically an RSV4 with flat bars and a re-tuned engine. At 175HP and 1100ccs it's definitely on the "beastlier" end of the spectrum. I've had it for two years and don't have a moving violation yet with it. Keeping a clean record with...

I so wish we had somewhere public to ride those things around here (KW). I'd have one in a minute.

My phone is off most of the time. I use it almost entirely as a ... phone. The point is that this is another intrusion that people welcome into their homes and for what? I get the impression that most people buying these things are of a younger generation who had "devices" in their cribs and...

Yes. As someone who has been driving for 36 years, has zero at-faults and no moving violations despite driving cars the insurance industry hates (VW GTI, Ford Mustang GT, Subaru STi) not to mention no moving violations or claims on the bikes I've had I feel like I'm due the courtesy of rates...

Look at your insurance policy and do a line-item check of costs. You'll find that the majority of your insurance premium if Statutory Accident Benefits or SABs If you want lower insurance premiums lobby Fat Tony at Queen's Park to remove the 'S' part of "SABs": make ABs optional instead of...

I don't know why anyone would surrender their privacy to this degree. It's bad enough that we can't surf the web without our every move being tracked. Now we got these things spying on us, that are probably listening for keywords and triggers to know what to market to us, how often we have sex...

Rest in peace. Condolences to his family.

Looks lawn & garden grade, not automotive grade. Maybe a part from a snowblower or lawnmower. Something adjustable with detents or a clutch/engage overload mechanism. Process of elimination: Check everything else in the garage; some aspect of something else in the same space probably isn't...

Meh. 600s are fast over 11000RPM but below that they're actually fairly soft. People say these aren't great bikes for the street partly because of their crappy ergonomics but also their lack of usable torque down low: See ~3:00 to hear about power and torque down low See ~5:30 where these two...

Cagers. To the man with "life altering" injuries: I won't offer the boilerplate "GWS rider" but I do hope for the very best outcome for you. Being airlifted after any accident warrants so much more than a mere platitude but all we can say here is "get well soon."

Back in the early 80s I had an RM125 I raced. At Hully Gully the chain failed at the clip-link; the chain bunched up at the rear sprocket and I went ass over teakettle. Bike was pretty banged up and I had the wind knocked out of me. So they're not "always on there" when you stop; sometimes...

Chains live terrible lives. There are all sorts of dynamics, harmonics and motions in a chain. For example, during hard straight line acceleration: @SVeezy, agreed: To each his own. The goal is for the individual to make an informed choice with all the info.

I don't know the answer to this, TBH. Maybe they sell them because they know there's a niche of lazy people that will buy them. Chain manufacturer RK state that the clip-type connecting link is intended for off-road use: the link can be installed without the use of a special tool which...

I wouldn't use clip-type master links on a street bike, anecdotes of reliability from random folks notwithstanding.

You don't have to have ABS. For decades motorcyclists got along fine without it. When you take an M1X course the bikes you'll be riding won't have ABS either and you'll learn the skill of threshold braking etc. ABS is a nice safety net. It's one of those things that you may never, ever need but...

6a) If you had two bikes in front of you, otherwise identical except one had ABS and was a bit more expensive, I personally would choose the one with ABS. Some folks dislike the feature and they have their own valid reasons for doing so. Those reasons, however, are usually "corner cases" where...
