    air cooled vs liquid cooled? ducati monster...

    You are trying to compare apples and avocados here. The 1100 Evo is an air cooled 2 valve 100 hp old school sweet heart with a slightly more aggressive seating position and hooligan like characteristics. Yes, it will run hot in traffic but the engines are designed to take it. The new 1200 is a...

    Ever heard the phrase, "Hide in plain sight"? UBL had been in the compound for six years just a mile from Pakistan's main training base. He was protected by well armed people who were willing to (and did) die to protect him. Anything more overt would have drawn too much attention. As far as the...

    How to enter CDN Postal Code

    It's not a pain at all when you know what you're doing. We make several trips across the border every year and have a great system. We know about how much gas we'll need so the wife goes in and pays accordingly. I stay outside and pump the gas while she loads up on goodies. Only once that I can...

    Anyone here own a Chevy Corvair?

    It was the silver painted rear section that threw me. Now that I look closer at the side shots I can clearly see the Monza emblem. Enjoy your new toy.

    Anyone here own a Chevy Corvair?

    Was his name Paul Gould by chance? Back in the sixties my high school shop teacher had a stage II Corvair Yenko Stinger. He built it up to stage III and then stage BANG! Instead of building a new Corvair engine he had the senior class put in a built small block. He also liked Vettes. I lost...

    Why We Ride...the movie

    I'll take it. Yours too Ric if you're really that upset with it. P.M. me and we'll se up a meet. I knew going in that it was an American production from an American point view. It does have international content though, including some Canadian.

    Kahuna closing

    Re: Kahuna closing? Very confusing situation. Ducati’s franchise agreement dictates that no more than two other brands may be sold by any one dealership at the same location. Plus, there has to be a definite and distinct division between the Ducati brand and the other two. Last time I was into...

    What was your first street bike? 1974 Kawasaki G4TRD 100 with dual range transmission. Bought new at auction from Ontario Kawasaki on Sheppard. How much riding experience did you have before acquiring that bike? Not much. I had bowered friends bikes but only got short rides. I had never...

    Motorcycle show

    FYI, the January Super Show is now under new management and it shows. The Super Show has had it's ups and downs over the decades but it was at it's best when the manufacturers all supported it. The official story was that the manufacturers wanted a higher class, 'show only" with no venders...

    The T Rex Report

    ah YEP! Especially when he started off by saying the vehicle came from Quebec and this thread is titled The T Rex Report and not the TMax.

    Transporting Bike in truck bed

    I've been moving bikes for over 40 years, in vans, pick ups, trailers and even in a '76 Austin Mini. For that I removed the front wheel, secured the front suspension in the trunk and left the back wheel rolling on the ground. This photo is way over kill I know but, this is how I usually...

    I rather liked Green Zone. I didn't have very high expectation of the movie so it was a big surprise when I actually found myself getting into it. But then, I really liked The Kingdom. I don't give a rats behind what Rotten Tomatoes or any of those other review sites say. I found it exciting...

    Range Rover runs over several bikers

    I have maintained all along that something occurred prior to where the video starts. It was clear to me that the bikers were already chasing down the SUV. By accusing Lien of hitting several motorcycles prior to where the the video begins this lawyer has successfully discredited Cruz's...

    man plows through motorcyclists

    As I pointed out in that other thread that a certain member felt compelled to start... We all know he wasn't changing lanes or looking for his friends. In this still taken from the video you can clearly see he has forced the Range Rover over so as to occupy the same lane. As he...

    Range Rover runs over several bikers

    We all know he wasn't changing lanes or looking for his friends. In this still taken from the video you can clearly see he has forced the Range Rover over so as to occupy the same lane. As he rides along side the drivers window he is looking inside the vehicle. Did he think his...
