    News: E-bike rider hit by van on Dufferin Street

    I was northbound on Bayview Ave. around Sunnybrook Hospital in stop and go traffic. Looked over to the southbound lanes and saw a person on an e-bike with a mobile up to her ear on a call. She was easily doing traffic speeds, which would have been 40kph - 50kph given the lighter traffic in...

    I should start taking my own advice

    For me, this is one of those threads that makes me think "Of course, so obvious.". I hadn't heard mention of or thought about post-ride inspections before but once you mentioned it, that's what I thought. Thanks for the light-bulb moment.

    What's your view on trail braking?

    Doesn't the advice in that video contradict the advice given in the video series Twist of the Wrist by Keith Code? His teachings are of the "do all your braking before entering the corner" school of thought. It gets confusing taking advice from different conflicting sources. Who do you believe?

    I haven't been able to find any control panel that allows me to change the number of topics displayed in a board list, or the number of postings visible when a thread is opened. Do these options exist? If so, where will I find them?

    Costco lawn and garden battery sale

    Darn, I JUST went out and bought an Odyssey PC680 from Saskbattery to replace the old battery that died on me in late-August. Haven't had much saddle time since then so I could have bought this one and saved a bundle, if I knew the sale was going to happen. Well, the PC680 has a 3 year...

    Costco lawn and garden battery sale

    Hold on a sec. When you say beemer, do you mean Airhead? If you mean a Brick, then it certainly won't fit. The battery terminal lugs are too tall, they are swapped from the BMW configuration and the battery size is too big to fit in the battery tray (too long and too tall).

    Why the difference?

    Good discussion; great points. When the aviation scenarios of were brought up, it occurred to me that maybe the difference in penalties, thoroughness of investigation, etc. is related to the perception that accidents caused by "professionals" differs from accidents caused by "public". Pilots...

    Why the difference?

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44815820 So, an unfortunate road accident claims two lives because the decisions made by a lorry driver on how he should secure his load. The responsible driver is eligible to be punished appropriately to the severity of his actions. Second...

    Hit to H-D by India because of Trump's trade war

    It's known that H-D's market in the US has been declining for some time as die-hard Harley customers age and millennials don't purchase the current H-D models because those H-D designs don't reflect their tastes or lifestyle. The EU and Indian tariffs (maybe others in the future from other...

    Hit to H-D by India because of Trump's trade war

    Well so much for the policy of "Make America Great Again". The Principle of Unintended Consequences has hit here as potential American jobs will transfer to Europe, making those jobs unavailable for workers in the US. My guess is that the US Federal Government will then either pressure H-D to...
