I'm looking to install a master power switch right at the battery terminals (or wired into the trunk, same place on the actual circuit) so I can effectively disconnect the battery when I want to, without having to bust out the tool kit, take off my seat, and disconnect one of the terminals. My...

I never said I would draft any law, OpenGambit, this is a fantasy you've conjured up for yourself. Repeatedly bringing it back to try and affect me is a childish attempt at taunting me to satiate your ego. I haven't responded to such things because it's a waste of my time, as I suspect even this...

I'm glad you live your life by movie clichés. How many people get to **** the prom queen, do you think? Is your experience an outlier or does it represent the average in your peer group? Don't talk to people as if they are losers simply because your circumstances aren't as bad as the average. I...

My kid sister (who is now gainfully employed, albeit at a slavery job beneath her intellectual skills), just sent me this, as written by a 29-year old and published formally today. It'll take you all of 5 minutes to read, don't let the length fool you. Just another schmuck trying to buy the...

This is a step off of the rear bumper of a moving truck. It is solid -- VERY heavy duty, made of very thick metal, and has very grippy no-slip teeth on it, and can be used as a loading ramp or a step. $30 OBO

All tires are fronts, have about 50% tread on them +/- 10%, have good, symmetric wear, and were manufactured less than 2 years ago, so the rubber is still in good condition and usable for at least another several thousand kms (3000+ at least, if not many more). Take em both for $70! Michelin...

Here. Someone pointed this out to my just 10 minutes ago, and it's so bloody relevant to our discussion it's not even funny. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=37eqoYbj1QM

Who do you think takes the bath on bad banking bets? Let's remind ourselves how TARP/TALF and all that other ******** steal-from-the-poor-to-bail-out-the-rich crap works. If anything is cyclical, it's the repetition of that throughout history. You see more BMWs and Mercedes than ever, but do you...

Refer to my comment about having Rob MacLennan's view insulated by his Canadian perspective. I will now give you three excellent examples of why this is dangerous: 1) Europe, which is in a crisis so big it defies my ability to describe it 2) United States of America, where people did lose...

We've been paying the piper's interest for the past 30 years and it's starting to show in real inflation and the continuation of stagnant/declining wages, especially relative to that. House prices aren't propped up by a bubble or by productivity, they're propped up by immigrants who come here...

Perhaps on paper.

It's not just another lean time like those previous iterations. This time it's much, much worse, for reasons that are very different than those prior and cyclical lean times.

Re: City council voting on getting rid of free parking for motorcycles today Excellent. As you were, city council.

That's awesome that you host! I met so many nice people who were gracious enough to host me. People like you are really great for opening up your homes to travellers. Tips? Definitely check out the Oregon coast along the PCH. It's too nice to miss. Visit the Redwoods and CA-36, but don't...

Hey look, a Chinese Wendy's

Anyone got any pointers on keeping a DSLR safe, dry, and cool? I'm thinking to put it in my tank bag with my moto cover, but I'm willing to entertain other ideas.

Yep, I'm at it again. This time down to Miami, then up to Newfoundland to surprise a childhood friend, and back to Toronto. 15,000+ km. I'll be doing the whole ride report blog thing, too. Probably no real-time GPS tracking, though. Can't wait!

We can't talk about religion? That's like perpetuating stupidity by not acknowledging that stupidity exists. Problem->Denial->Problem, instead of Problem->Awareness->Solution. Censorship of any speech or topic or idea or even random insult is pure intellectual weakness. If someone wants to...

My buddy and I are headed out to Florida on the 23rd, too! We're going to Pittsburgh first, then to Raleigh. Blue GSXR 600 and a blue SV650 with Carbon Fiber fairings, both Ontario plated. If you see us, don't be a stranger!

Of course, it was just an example to try and drive home the point that one bad instance doesn't mean an entire batch is like it. You know what I mean.
