In reference to motor vehicles, power is power. It is a standard unit of measurement for the delivery of force used to propel said vehicle. What you feel is the torque, that twisting motion that makes the wheels go around. Some bikes, like a long stroke, air cooled, L twin Ducati makes lots of...

Speaking of high end die casts and having specific models made, my brother commissioned a company in south Oshawa, (Durham Classics) to do a replica of our father’s 1934 La Salle that he now owns. This photo was taken when the car was on display at the 1964 New York Auto Show. This is the...

I have no personal knowledge of anyone in the Quinte area but if you’re still looking I can list off the ones out of the Yellow pages. Just got our new phone books today. ;)

Holy crap Jamie, I’m in that Tim Horton's a couple or three times a month as an old racing / gaming buddy of mine lives just a couple of minutes away on the 8th line. However, I’ve never been into the gas bar. Who would’ve thought, eh?

There are at least six dealers in southern Ontario. Where do you live?

Insurance adjusters have always had the responsibility of identifying fraudulent claims. Problem is, many are too lazy to do their jobs properly. Case in point, I had an adjuster who threatened me with criminal charges because he believed I was making a fraudulent claim. He was willing to pay...

I can’t comment on dead vs. live animals but I can tell you that if you crash while swerving to avoid hitting something or someone it’s going to be on you. However, if you strike an object that you can trace back and prove where it came from (like a section of scaffolding falling off a specific...

Sonny, you’re joking right? I would never recommend an MV F3 to a newbie. Hell, at this point I’m not sure I’d recommend an F3 to seasoned rider who was also a motorcycle mechanic. :sad1: You own an MV, you read the forums, you know the issues. This is a first time buyer who needs a dead...

I cannot stress strongly enough how important it is for your first bike to be the right bike! Also, if you’re only riding 10 kilometers one way you may do more harm to your brand new bike as it’ll barely be warmed up. Leave home earlier and take a 30 or 40 kilometer loop each way. ;) Hehehe If...

Dirty, dull grey coloured unmarked OPP Chevy SUV parked in the gulley between the east bound off and on ramps at the highway #37 / #401 interchange. Three marked cruisers parked further up the off ramp road with six or more officers pulling cars over. At the time I drove over the bridge they had...

I have not had any dealings with this company but you have to wonder about the Victory dealer in Belleville who is actually a HUGE John Deer dealer. http://www.deerhavenfarmandgarden.ca/ And they call Harleys, “Farm Equipment”...

Drove down and back for the first four years. We didn’t go last year. Even towed a bike down one year. Long story with a very happy ending. Always stayed where the main Ducati group was and always had Ducati grandstand “Project Mugello” tickets. Never had any problems or issues in Indy but the...

Scott Saunders posted on the Ducati Owners Club Facebook page that he will be riding his bike down from Toronto again this year and was asking anyone else who was interested to contact him. http://www.facebook.com/groups/ducatiownersclubcanada/

I will concur, far less variety from the main players and more venders from the fringes, (pun intended). On the food side we found the Asian Noodles in the beer garden area very flavourful and a much better value than the other offerings. You get a huge bowl in your choice of veggie, chicken...

Ride has been selling Indians for years as well as being one of the very first dealers Norton signed up. The final hurdle for Norton in North America has been passed so those who placed deposit all those years ago should be seeing their bikes later this year. You can read more here...

Oh, how I’d like to do this to some car salesmen Iknow, have known! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5mHPo2yDG8

So what you’re saying is that you’ll be planting your tukus on every available seat this weekend at the bike show.

The wife went from her 250 Rebel to an M600 Ducati Monster. She rode that until the fall of 2010 when she moved up to a 2011 M796.

Those HP Course Hydraforms are saaaw-wheeeet! Those were not available in the fall of 2010. Besides, Linda’s deal included the Temis. It's had to say no to this classic look, right? Or P.S. It’s the same bike, just different body panels. Monsters are so much fun! The 675 MV’s are...
