    Anyone working in the trades here? Specifically HVAC?

    Good on you Mimico. Trades are great career path for those looking for a change and it is never too late to start. I started my electrical apprenticeship at 25 /26yrs old lol, after university schooling. I was considered one of the OLDER GUYS during my schooling lol. Aim as high as you can...

    Laguna Seca - Spectate

    Absolutely a great track to spectate. I have been there for both moto gp and world superbike. Get to the track early and set up camp at the corkscrew. You will not want to leave that area after seeing the bikes shoot down there. Plus the next turns after the corkscrew are short walking...

    Yamaha MT10SP

    I've never ridden the yamaha but I think it looks great. I borrowed a tuono factory for a couple days this summer from Corsa. It's a fantastic bike, sounds incredible, more power than I will ever need though and it drinks gas like a z06 lol. The only things I didn't like we're the digital...

    Got rear ended

    Wow. I hope you are OK an no long term effects. I installed front and rear dashcam for this reason, nobody pays attention anymore. You shouldn't be at fault and you won't see a raise in your premium. I didn't for a rear end collision.

    Bill 70 threatens trades

    Not all of us tradesman are unionized people. I have been an electrician for 10+ years of non union and will continue that way. I'm not 100% sure where the Libs are going with this or what the real mandate is. Ya sure I would love a laborer running conduit and pulling wires for me all day...

    F1 Thread!!!

    I hear you. At the end of the day, who cares? the past 3 years of F1 have been horrible to watch anyway. The most exciting part of the race was watching hamilton back off in the closing laps, real exciting lol :( I have never pressed "fast forward" on my PVR during a race until this year and...

    Dear VW. Why do your new cars handle like a #@&% 1972 Buick???

    What did you expect from a car that competes with the mediocre Camry for sales? Most people are not enthusiasts and so the cars are neutered in driving pleasure ie shitbox handling, no steering feel, awful non linear brakes. Should have got the Jetta GLI (pretty much a full size GTI) if you...

    Looks like Photo Radar is coming back..!

    How about a revamp of the graduated licensing system? That might work. She's running out of ideas. I agree there are some problem areas, but not the 4 school zones I pass on a daily at 3pm when schools out. In fact, most people are 10 under the posted limit. Maybe only the problem areas should...

    Carpal tunnel repair...too many years riding and computing

    As an electrician I know what you mean with the hands lol. I haven't had surgery on mine because they have gotten better since I switched to maintenance and less construction. I have had a back surgery though lol. I have had friends do the wrist surgery and it has worked out great for them...

    2017 New Model Thread (INTERMOT etc.)

    I like that much better. I couldn't stand the 1990s digital part of the last tuono. This is much better but I do miss the analog tach.

    Ducati Monster buying advice

    2011 monster 796 with 30000km on it. I'd say it's been pretty reliable. Regular maintenance oil, battery, tires, sprockets, chain and valve adjustments. Things that did go wrong are belt tensioners, sprocket retaining clip, and exhaust valve motor(I scrapped it and got a servo buddy). Also, the...

    Buying A Ducati 848 Evo

    Your ECU was not "flashed". Its a whole new ecu with upgraded map that is swapped for the old ecu unit ,and that comes with the termigioni kit, as well as an air filter. At least that is how it is on my monster 796, have the old ecu in my basement collecting dust.

    Buying A Ducati 848 Evo

    I'm a ducati owner as well, monster 796. I know it's different than the 848 evo, 2v vs 4V, but the intervals are the same. Every 12k km is a valve service, don't skip it. Luckily for me, 3 valve checks and they are still within spec. Keep an eye on your belts and tensioner bearings as they are...
