    LOL! Maybe in the secular world!

    The single rant.

    Hey Jinster! If you are a Christian, I would highly recommend Christian Cafe as an online dating website. I met my wife there! Just pray about it and leave it in God's hands...all will happen in His time. Don't get caught up in the chains (and prison) of what you think others might expect...

    how do car drivers act around you?

    Generally don't have any trouble with any car driver... they give me the same level of respect as they would any other vehicle. However, I got a pleasant surprise down in Virginia a couple of years ago. Was driving with a small group on an interstate and a large white limousine pulled up...

    Fuel economy :Supersport vs entry level bikes going at 100kmph

    While riding around Vermont on my 2006 Yamaha FJR 1300, I managed to squeeze 3.6 L/100 km on a 400 km day trip. Riding was done at 90 - 100 km/h. Pretty astounding! Slightly off topic - My 2013 Nissan Altima 3.5L V6 got 6.5 L/100 km while cruising down the 407 today (average over about 100...

    Over night trip suggestion

    How about a nice little tour to Ottawa via this route? http://goo.gl/maps/DWdwP While in Ottawa, stay at Webb's Motel... good inexpensive rooms and there is a great Japanese restaurant across the street (at least there was a couple of years ago.)...

    Suzuki Gladius vs FZ6R vs Ninja650 vs GSX650F?

    This seems like an amazing deal on this bike! I had an FZ1 a few years ago and it was a great bike for all around use. The FZ6 and FZ8 seem to have much more modern frames and suspensions, so I presume they would be more enjoyable to ride. If you wanted more wind protection, I believe there...

    Advice on Tires

    Best bet would be a completely new set of tires in this scenario. Why take the risk to save a couple of hundred bucks? My latest set are Michelin Pilot Road 3 - pretty impressive tires!

    Need A New Battery, Looknig For Recommendations

    +1 I have hooked my battery up to a Battery Tender every winter and it still seems to be going strong, even though its 5 years old. On my last bike, I didn't use a Battery Tender and the battery was done after the first winter. Those Battery Tenders are quite a bargain! Has anyone used those...

    What the heck... How do you clean protective armor?

    I just bought a Fox armoured compression jacket. It gets a bit sweaty inside. In the instructions, it says handwash only. I'm going to handwash it in a bathtub with laundry detergent added to the water, rinse using the shower head, and hang to dry.

    to the HAUGENs for lunch: jul 28

    Thanks chunkeager and infernobuster! I drove right past it ... twice! I guess I was looking for a more flashy storefront or bigger sign (which of course, would be out of character for such a fine eatery! LOL!) I'll take a jaunt on the bike for lunch next week. Tomorrow night is bike night...

    to the HAUGENs for lunch: jul 28

    Looked for Baldwin St. Burger yesterday but couldn't find it. I wound up finding a place with delicious handmade burgers and awesome fresh-cut fries called "Blazing Burgers" in Port Perry. They are right across the road from Wendy's... Worth a try! Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

    A new low for vets

    It should be noted here that in the last 20 years, it was a Liberal government who eliminated the deficit and returned years of massive budget surpluses. This sound economic management has been undone by Harper - under his watch, through years of budget deficits, our national debt has grown by...

    Speed limits

    THe speed limits do seem to be painful at times, but with the abysmal level of driving skill I have witnessed on our roads, a higher speed limit would only cause more carnage.

    Lots of Advice Needed for a New Rider

    It should probably be said here that riding a motorcycle is not that much cheaper overall than driving a small car when insurance, maintenance and gear are factored in. Then there is the thought of having to ride on that nasty QEW between Toronto and the Hammer. Then there is the factor of...

    Motorcycle Superstore Brokerage Fees if Shipped to Canada?

    I bought a Sergeant seat from Motorcycle Superstore a couple of years ago. There were no extra charges when it arrived at my door. In addition to this, the shipping was fast - it was delivered to my house in Canada less than 48 hours after I ordered it. Impressive service (but I don't know if...

    to the HAUGENs for lunch: jul 28

    Just so ya know.... I have classically trained taste buds ... honed to perfection by years of enjoying the fare at such fine restaurants as KFC, McD's, and Wendy's! Now honestly, Sonny... how could you possibly resist that BBQ chicken, and those fresh-cut fries at Haugens? (and don't get me...
