    The feeler gauge snapped off. :(

    This has not been my year so far. Job ended yesterday too. Today I was checking on the valve when the feeler tip snapped off when I was on the intake. I can't see it anywhere on the ground and didn't see it fly out so I have to conclude it snapped off inside as I was holding it at the time. I...

    Toronto politics

    Porn starlet Nikki Benz just filed her papers today, May 28th, to run for Mayor of Toronto. Here is a link to her campaign video from earlier this month: http://once.unicornmedia.com/now/od/auto/dd04fb63-53af-417a-be12-2abf285306e6/8b7e3c6e-8700-4656-b289-5af7250ef118/0-grlrv0iu/content.once...

    Provincial politics

    mxs: I knew I wasn't imagining things. There is a Marxist-Leninist party but they are federal. Here is the list of parties from the 2011 federal election and curiously, the expenses limit for the Marxist-Leninists is the same as the Bloc Québécois, whatever that might mean...

    How to Cope With Singing Office Co-worker

    My late gf told me how once when she was a child she was singing this children's song about brushing your teeth repeatedly over and over during a car trip. Apparently after who knows how many repetitions it was too much for the housekeeper who was travelling with them who then proceeded to throw...

    Provincial politics

    Ok, you are right. The M-L party isn't running in Ontario in 2014 but the Communist Party is! This link is a list of all the "parties" registered to run in Ontario 2014. Obviously not all of these are in every riding, lol: http://www.elections.on.ca/en-CA/CandidatesAndParties/PoliticalParties/...

    How many of you take your bike to redline?

    I got a speed ticket this morning in a 50 zone on a 250. On the way to work. Wasn't redlining.

    Provincial politics

    The liberals and what used to be the progressive conservatives (federally) are parliamentary parties. This means they do not have an ideology but rather will shift with the wind if it means they will get votes and get voted into power. If people begin voting for other parties like...

    Provincial politics

    No sorry, I'm not very social and seldom go to bars. In part it is because of my hearing.

    Provincial politics

    To people who would seriously decline their ballot, I would like to ask you to please consider voting Green. Why? They won't get elected but maybe a few more votes will get them into TV debates. The more voices the better for all of us.

    How many of you take your bike to redline?

    Don't backfire the bike too much. While fun, it actually can cause physical damage to your exhaust.

    Can adjusting valves too tight cause vibration?

    It's only a single cylinder 2012 TU250X with 3200 km so I am not sure what it could be and while it has a throttle body what would it sync to? But one person with the same year bike as me claimed that the TDC mark was in the wrong spot and said that he could prove it by watching the arms move up...

    Can adjusting valves too tight cause vibration?

    I do believe I adjusted the valve clearances too tight this time. They are still in range I believe just at the very bottom. What is throwing me off is that the engine is vibrating a lot more now through the seat and handlebars. It sounds ok but the vibrating is different to the point that it...

    Bike won't start after charging battery ?

    No they aren't and Yuasa is a good brand, but really, don't take it to Canadian Tire. Take it to a Honda Powersports or one of the shops that are popular here.

    Road Rage on the 401, May 21, 2014

    Don't worry. We'll be having words with Mike about this. We are not happy with how Mike has represented sport bikers and we'll be punishing Mike in a mighty way for this.

    Bike won't start after charging battery ?

    Whoever fixed your gas tank by draining the oil out of it, make sure they reconnected the electrical plugs to the fuel pump inside it.

    Highway Entrances + Tar Snakes + Middle Of Lane

    Montreal has been insane for 30 years now. Though I imagine it might be worse now due to the Charbonneau corruption inquiry (still ongoing and explosive) slowing things down. One municipality there had to do a referendum to ask their residents if they wanted to wait or go with one of the...

    Highway Entrances + Tar Snakes + Middle Of Lane

    There's a patch on the westbound 401 as you approach Scarborough that's all cracked and potholed for a distance on all lanes. It's pretty bad. And unlike Steeles ave which is a municipality "not my street problem" due to being the border, the 401 is province. DVP and Gardiner are City of Toronto.
