    Wasp almost killed me!

    Been riding 18 years, been stung almost every year, maybe because 90 per cent of my riding is in the country. Absolute worst occurred on 523 near Madawaska. Three of us ran into a swarm of bees that had left an overpopulated hive and were swarming across the highway just as we came by. I got...

    Please sign my petition to allow straight pipes in Ontario for rider safety

    3 thoughts: if loud pipes saved lives there would be dead BMW and Goldwing riders everywhere when has a Harley rider ever spent $1200 on safety equipment? If loud pipes saved lives insurance companies would bump up the premiums on quiet bikes

    missing person report

    Such a horrible situation. The abductors must have less than a full deck to play with. If they want to steal a truck just steal one and it is a minor case, will get little attention and they would probably get away with it. But kill somebody (probably) you will be searched down convicted and...

    Fun with Nukemap

    I don't think much about nuclear war anymore because things have calmed a lot between major powers. Probably the only 2 nations to worry about are Iran and North Korea. If they started anything nuclear they would cease to exist before much damage was done elsewhere. The scary thing for me...
