    Stopping the engine

    Yes CSC,forgot were i was.I have a tendency to cruise GTA and Volusa Riders at the same time.On my bike the ignition is on the side of the neck cover which is harder to get to while on the bike and easy to damage as a result.I also tend to leave the bike in gear so having a brain fart while...

I must...

    Gas prices going up to $1.40 at midnight

    Canada is the only country in the world that sells domestic oil to it's own population at world prices then adds a tax.We are sheep to the slaughter and may I also point out the highest taxed per citizen as well.Common knowledge yet we do nothing to help ourselves.

    ^^^^^^^ ya if it's between the lines she can GTH.I really cant see how she can try and charge you $50 to park the bike with the car then tell you one vehical per spot as pre the lease.She has boken the lease in that regard already.

    Can my landlord do this? re: apartment parking

    Honda Shadow 750?

    Shadows are good bikes but the suzuki c50/volusa is the best bang for the buck as far a mid size touring crusers go hands down.Faster then than a v-star 1100 with the same wheelbase and style and more room than Marauder.Ill post 1/4 times for comparison later if i can find it.The c50 is also...

    Is it leagl?-not HTA related

    Going to the paper is a good idea.The cops didn't show up?I would be demanding action he shot an 11yr old childs dog in front of him.I would have to question the mental stability of this person and the ethics of the police publicly for not showing up.
