    Question about RACE classes

    When I lived in BC I was a member of the Westwood Motorcycle Racing Club. Unfortunately Westwood its self is a sub division now, but the club raced at Mission. I have a 1982 RD350LC that I used to race there. It has a 370 Farhon motor with the triple exhaust ports and I could run it in 3...

    Oh, for the love of Odin....

    I rode a wee-Strom and I'm not disappointed

    I have never ridden the previous 650, but this is one supposed to have 5-6 more HP and a lot more mid range. It would be interesting to ride them back to back. I would imaging ~10% more HP would be noticeable.

    How much do you pay in Taxes?

    No, seems like they only took one or two. if I look at my old uFiles I paid about 38% income tax for tax year 2014, I paid around 49% for tax year 2016. Now, in all fairness, I did more from Vancouver back to Toronto in 2015 but provincial taxes are a very small portion of that.

    I rode a wee-Strom and I'm not disappointed

    I was filling up between 250 and 280Km and it took around 16-17 Litres. I was also filling up with Regular, and it didn't seem to complain, but I should really check that just incase. Its very different than the GS but once I got used to it I really enjoyed riding it. I think if it was my...

    How much do you pay in Taxes?

    I would think that's about right. Even a little low. I paid more than 42% to the income tax man last year

    I rode a wee-Strom and I'm not disappointed

    My son bought his first real bike this year. A 2017 650 V-Strom XT. My GS is in the shop having the rear seal replaced so I just spent a few days on his doing Bruce Peninsula, Manitoulin Island and back home through Parry Sound. My only real V-Strom experience was a 2008 V-Strom 1000 that I...

    What would a Wildrose win in Alberta mean for Canada?

    Just spent 3 weeks in Alberta on business and the Wildrose/PC merger is generating a lot of buzz and media coverage Seems like the PC's are currently polling at 30% and the Wildrose at 38%. A merged 68% of the vote equates to a huge majority. Speculation is that Notley will also call an early...

    Purchasing BC bike

    I moved from BC and brought my GS and Truck and it was a very simple process. She will need proof of identity (e.g. driving license), proof of purchase (Bill of Sale - I had the original title portion of the vehicle permit in my name as it was already my bike), proof of insurance in Ontario and...

    Toy Hauler

    The bike will come out as soon as I get to the track so not concerned with sleeping with it. I can see if the OP wanted to quickly pull over and sleep then that extra bed up front is a real benefit

    Toy Hauler

    Been thinking about this myself. I have an enclosed trailer so end up either sleeping inside on a blow up mattress or if there is grass, sleeping in a tent. At my age its convenient having a toilet so I don't have to walk across the pits a couple of times in the middle of the night ... LOL i...

    Talk to Zoodles about Trucks... Mid size and 1/2 Ton...

    +1 one the proportional break controller. if I were buying a truck today it would probably be the GM 1500. I bought an F150 last year and it's a good truck, however I think by friends Sierra with the V8 tows much better than the Ecoboost. I have driven both with my enclosed trailer. They should...

    OEM Style Connectors

    I'm helping a friend with a engine swap on his track bike. Only the wiring is left. is there anywhere in the GTA that you can buy OEM style connecters, 3 and 4 pin. I don't want to use a bunch of spade or bullet connectors. If they are waterproof even better. TIA

    Camping at Calabogie

    Android Boxs - whose got 1?

    Yes, those are the 4 that are currently taking part. I don't want to go too deep as there is a lot of secret sauce but... Ideally you would shut it down at the source. if I'm a customer in the UK and I'm restreaming that content, the content itself is uniquely associated with both the operator...
