    Haliburton/Elephant Lake area

    Been up there for the last two weekends. Provincial highways are all clean and dry. County roads are hit and miss. Flooding throughout Minden and Kinmount and debris left behind where it once was. Gotta watch - from what I saw they are just starting to clean some of the roads and it hasn't...

    Well this could be problematic....

    I used to install traffic "loops" so know a bit about them. Your best shot will be in the centre of what looks like a pad. In any set-up I've done/seen there is twice as much traffic cable here than anywhere else in the loop. All the loop does is create an EMF field and the computer just...

    We can now sue the Police- know your rights ppl before you lose them

    Just curious if there is a thread for highlighting cases where riders have beaten the stunt-driving law in Ontario? It seems to have become pretty much a blanket that they use to cover everything from lunatics to those standing up for a second to scratch/stretch! Anyone have any success...

    Bringing the Bike to a Stop

    Matching engine speed (RPM) with road speed (KPH) makes for a smoother ride and is easier on the rider/driver and whatever machine he/she is riding/driving. Who cares if you cannot yet blip the throttle while down-shifting for a stop. Continue to use your front brake on dry, clean pavement and...

    where the hell to wash bike downtown?

    +1 - best tune up your bike will ever have! And a good chance to make sure that everything is still fastened!! Not to mention, it'll be much cleaner than any other way.

    Quietest helmet?

    Anything Arai. Only helmet that I know of on the GP circuit that will not pay a rider to wear them & many still do. +1 on the earplugs though no matter what you go with.

    I think we will also disagree on how relevant a CFA is to managing a personal account?! I have several friends that are charter holders and I beat their returns every year. Dont know a thing about the companies.. just their stocks!! We need an investment / GTA rider meet!

    Investment Help

    Sorry Johnp but I have to say you have it ***-backwards! You can check out my last rant from a previous thread but I assure you the only thing that matters in the markets are supply and demand. Toss in basic understanding of trader psychology or investor sentiment and you have.... Technical...

    Investment Help

    ETFs are a great alternative, as someone mentioned earlier, but you have to do your own due diligence and you'll need a brokerage account. It's a lot of work/time getting familiar with the platforms (ie TD Waterhouse) but if you are willing to put the time in it's not a bad idea. Considering...

    Sometimes a moment of "stupid" happens...

    Listen Brother... 20 years ago I was almost taken by the same type of scam and I am just like you only more anal retentive about research. My guys flagged me down at a stop light.. honest. It was for speakers back then and it all looked great... invoices... same story as yours.. left over...

    Saying you do not believe in technical analysis is like saying you dont buy into human psychology. Trust me... we're all lemmings. We can be counted on to feel either fear or greed at identifiable points. By tracking volume and trends you can get a general idea of who is feeling greedy and...

    There's not enough bandwidth for me to get into the mistakes I've made! When I started I was told it's OK to make small mistakes, bad to make big mistakes and unforgiveable to make the same mistake twice. My best education was watching my trading account get smashed to the ground during the...

    Investing

    I'm a trader not an investor. But, statistically speaking... stocks trading at or near their highs are much more likely to continue higher than otherwise. Along the same line of thought, stocks trading at or near their lows are statistically more likely to go lower. This is not my opinion but...

    That MBA comment above made me choke on my coffee just before laughing my *** off! Not that an MBA is not valuable but in the markets they are about as useful as a rock at a frisbee tourny! Warren Buffett said it best years ago... investing is simple but not easy! My friend Danny came a close...

    FedEx used parts from the US??

    I once rebuilt the entire front end of a bike using eBay and the majority of the parts came from the U.S. Now it doesnt matter what I am buying from that side of the border I insist on USPS.

    Where to buy old honda parts?

    Try the VRRA (Vintage Road Racing Asoc) - there are quite a few old CB 350/400 being raced/maintained. There is a parts forum on their website and you might get lucky.
