    Air compressor for home garage

    I run an Ingersoll Rand SS5L5 http://www.ingersollrandproducts.com/content/ir-products/en/air-compressor/products/reciprocating-air-compressors/electric-driven-single-stage.html I put in some cast iron hard line to the front of the garage with a regulator/filter/water remover at the end of the...

    EZ Drain Valves

    In all honesty, there are easier and more obvious ways to **** with a bike. First of all, the valve is not particularly easy to swing open and closed. I have to use pliers, or at a minimum gloves, to open mine. Secondly, if you add the safety circlip, I guarantee they won't be able to open it...

    EZ Drain Valves

    The Fumoto ones are generally around $15 US each give or take which model you need and whether you get the hose with it, or the safety circlip, etc.

    EZ Drain Valves

    I have used many of these on multiple cars, and on 1 motorcycle. I have never had a problem with them in easily over 100K km combined. It is a lot harder to turn the valve open and closed than you think. It is not nearly as easy as say on a ball valve for water with a large handle for leverage...

    Best (loudest) electric horn

    I don't know if it's the loudest or best, but on any car with a single horn, or even with dual diaphragm horns and I want a little more oomph behind the honk, I have always added one of these Wolo air horns. It plays a single low tone, and against a higher pitched diaphragm horn, I find it quite...

    Buying a brand new motorcycle & want to negotiate the price

    Personally . . . after deciding on the bike I wanted, I called and spoke with sales people at dealerships within what I considered a reasonable range to travel. After getting the best price I could through emails and phone calls with these sales people, I went to the most convenient location...

    First accident

    Are you aware of the charge? If so, what was the charge? If you don't mind my asking, will your insurance will be covering lost wages, or small claims?

    Power Commander

    I would argue that you do not need a dyno as long as you have a MAF and MAP sensor as well as a wideband O2, ideally one for each cylinder, but at a bare minimum, at least 1 wideband O2. Having the volumetric efficiency dialed in, you should be VERY accurate from run to run measuring any...

    Mechanical engineering

    It's not that they don't get any love, it just seems that it's not as rare as someone that has the designing skills and those others mentioned like soft skills, project management, hand on experience, etc. on top of the design ability. And as a result is compensated for accordingly. I'm pretty...

    Mechanical engineering

    I honestly think part of the problem is when engineers start, they are not particularly paid all that well in Canada, at least compared to many other "professional professions" if you will, i.e. lawyer, doctor, etc. And engineers that have hands on experience, soft skills, project management...

    Need a new helmet asap

    If you were honest and said you left your helmet with your bike and walked away when it was stolen, I could see insurance seeing that as negligence and an actuary calculating some increased odds of you doing something else similarly care less that would lead to a future theft claim and...

    ordering from fc-moto?

    I have a buddy that bought an exhaust from them. He was charged 13% taxes and paid even more on duties/brokerage fees.

    Failure to produce ownership/insurance...what do you guys think?

    What I'm trying to say is, yes, it's about time digital proof should be enough, but try telling that to the LEO at the side of the road, or the JP in court that rationale that it's high time it should be the way, and what'll it get you? That's what really matters at the end of the day. So...

    Failure to produce ownership/insurance...what do you guys think?

    And my point is, it doesn't matter whether you or he thinks it's a tad silly. It boils down to what the law thinks. You can make whatever argument about how in the "dark ages" the law and MTO, etc are, but ultimately the law is the law. You must have the paperwork, end of story. Feel free to...

    Failure to produce ownership/insurance...what do you guys think?

    Now all you have to do is get a cop and the legal system to agree with you.

    Failure to produce ownership/insurance...what do you guys think?

    If your smart phone "gets damaged or lost either by ride/error or by collission/accident" at the side of the road, how are you going to access any of those? And more importantly, at the end of the day it's not going to stop LEO from issuing you a ticket for lack of proof of insurance if he/she...

    Helmets for Round Heads

    No worries. Good luck. Also, I wear an XL FG-17, but I run I believe XXL or XXXL cheek pads to make it just right on my head. Don't be afraid to try different sized pads within the same helmet to "customize" it for your head.

    Helmets for Round Heads

    I have a very round head. A long oval helmet will typically be super tight to get on/off around the sides of my head and ears yet when actually on my head will be slightly loose front to back to the point that the helmet will rotate front and back. I was leaning towards a CL-17 but did not like...

    Mechanical engineering

    That is exactly what I meant when I said "However, getting only a masters in engineering without a bachelors will make getting the P.Eng very difficult". It can be done with additional testing and certifications, but ultimately if a P.Eng is what you are after to increase your earning potential...

    Mechanical engineering

    Is this *** wiping degree an engineering degree? My understanding is that a masters in engineering is not particularly helpful unless you are going for your Ph.D. or academic pursuits. The important designation is the P.Eng. And that can be attained with either a bachelors or masters in...
