    Request: Best Rain Gear

    I have a Sidi rain suit that has been great so far. Picked it up second hand for $60 or $80 and still going strong; though I think the pants are on their way out because in a heavy rain my ***** does start to get wet after 30-45 min.

    Locked up rear tire

    Burnout to equalize the tire? /s Good on ya for keeping it upright though, I've had an instance where the rear locked and boy does it give the heart a flutter when you feel the rear start rotating around. I say just ride it out and it should take care of itself as long as you are talking...

    Other people's property...

    I almost decked a coworker who thought I was joking when I said "that is my bike" and decided to hop on. Before he could even get his leg over I stopped him and asked WTF he was thinking?!? He apparently thought I was joking that it was my bike and didn't even seem to understand that you don't...

    Scooter rental - hit and run or am I being taken advantage of?

    My first question would be of proving that it was not there prior to your rental. If you didn't sign anything that stated it was mint without any damage, my response would be "prove it wasn't there to begin with". Tough luck for the business but that might teach them to do a walk around with...

    Haliburton Crash

    Generally you want to be in the left tire track if it's only one lane though (obviously there are exceptions to the rule). The downsides to being in the right tire track is that vehicles behind may think you are pulling off, are a slower moving vehicle, plus the likely hood of picking up crap...

    Crazy storm in Toronto

    lol, another day, another storm. Is everyone really that worried about riding in or through a storm? Rode through that yesterday and thankfully avoided hail but got the heavy rain and wind. I will duck out for hail for obvious reasons but wind and rain just means to take it easy and be extra...

    Off leash dogs running around

    Very much this, a lot of people do not understand dog behaviors or even the subtle cues as they get close to another person or animal.

    Off leash dogs running around

    You are the kind of owner I wish all were that let their dogs off lead. It comes down to obedience, if they cannot follow given commands then they should always be on lead. My husky for example will listen most of the time, but if there is something more appealing than treats, or just feels...

    Wild out there

    Wasn't that wild after all, wet though yes especially north of TO

    Off leash dogs running around

    I'm glad 'm not the only one that has to deal with this issue. I have a Husky and would love to let him free to run but for obvious Husky reasons, he's on a lead at all times outside of an enclosed area. We have a large green space directly behind our backyard that opens to fields and has a few...

    Wild out there

    Looks like I'll be riding home through that unless it changes course or just falls away. Meh, bit windy but manageable....providing no hail.

    Post your Return/Exchange Policy Nightmare Stories!

    Only one I can think of was at Royal earlier this year, they had a pair of pants my wife was looking at but not in her size. I asked about getting a pair in her size and was told I can buy them, try them on, then return if they don't fit. I would have no problem with that if they had to order...

    Aprillia Grey parked at Merton & Don Mills August 1st @ 11:55

    Good on ya for doing that, most people would have just shrugged and walked off...including the driver that hit it.

    Home furnace shopping

    Ours were 25 years old when they crapped out and we noticed a reasonable amount of savings with the higher efficiency units...gas and electric on the furnace and major electricity on the AC. Now it's time to deal with other areas of efficiency to really get the most from them.

    Rear Brake Locked Up

    Honestly, it's not that daunting of a job to do...especially on the rear in terms of fluid and bleeding. I would check the slider pins first but depending on how old the bike is, it could be time for a rebuild. Drain fluid, pull pads, remove caliper, use compressor to push piston out, clean...

    HD mess

    The problem with HD is their shrinking market share with new riders. They market a lifestyle more so than the bike itself and the newer, younger generation of riders don't care about the specific image as much (or being hipsters, want a cafe ). There are those that will want one because of...

    Favourite Riding Roads

    I don't understand the hype over The Forks. A buddy took me there last year, after going through all I could think was "that's it?" Low speed limit, short distance, too much traffic. I much more prefer River Road, Ridge Road, or any other road in the Barrie area and north.

    Home furnace shopping

    My wife and I did this last year through Reliance. We went this option (furnace and AC) only because our furnace crapped out unexpectedly and did not have the money in the bank after having bought the house a year prior to buy anything outright. I know we will pay more in the long run (that's a...
