    to all of the fathers that ride...please read

    #1 Life insurance. My kids are MUCH better off financially if I go down hard. #2 I don't drive like an azz but I assume everyone else has their head up theirs. #3 I stay out of areas where I find the worst drivers #4 I ride much slower in areas and times when there are deer on the road. #5 Zero...

    Snow City Marine blows

    Re: deleted Same experience, excellent parts service, go beyond the ask and figure out what I really need, not just what I ask for. :)

    New Toy! Double neck lap steel - a gift from a friend

    Kewl, very familiar with the hound dog, wouldn't mind owning one. My Dad played in some bands in the '50s, Ventures covers etc. His dad played violin (or fiddle as he would call it.), My Great Grandfather on my Mom's side was a player and apparently a well known Luthier (just found out from my...

    New rider - Looking at a 74 CB450

    LOL, yeah I recall using the kick start on mine.... We can't all afford/justify buying new, and some of us like the nostalgia, or simply messing around with the mechanics. More power to ya, hope she makes you happy.

    my garage door opens my neighbours...

    older models have switches, grab the model# and do a search. It is a fairly common problem, that's why most manuals tell you how to deal with it... IOW RTFM. ;)

    Does Your Bike Give You An Erection?

    LOL! Well I stroke her (the bike that is) when I pass her in the garage. ;) My wife caught me doing this and remarked "you don't treat me that well", I was tempted to reply "you don't ride nearly as well, nor are you as reliable" but, I'm still alive today so I obviously didn't. ;)

    New rider - Looking at a 74 CB450

    Yeah, the old CB series were great, reliable bikes, I had a 350, 360 and a 750, all were great bikes. I started on a smaller bike (Suzuki 185 twinstar) and soon outgrew that, the 350 was good replacement and would have been fine to start on imho, the 450 isn't much larger. If you're comfortable...

    Is the season over?

    No (I ride until the first black ice warning/encounter) but, it is a good time to start looking. From what I've seen, many students heading back to school will dump their prized possessions to get the money they didn't save for school.... The next wave is mid to late October, when some are...

    Road Trip - Toronto>Sudbury>Manitoulin>Tobermory>Toronto

    Wish I'd known that. Please limit my critique to the obvious (walking distance from Ferry parking) Fish'nchip place. My stomach rebels when I think of it, blech!

    Road Trip - Toronto>Sudbury>Manitoulin>Tobermory>Toronto

    Hey, I did that trip last year. Watch the construction bypassing Sudbury, I almost lost it when I hit an unmarked pavement cut. Yikes!!!! Oh, and if you decide to hop the ferry, definitely don't eat at South Bay Mouth, seriously bad fish 'n chips, antique grease. :( Coming back from...

    Laser Eye Surgery Anyone?

    I can't believe this isn't more popular: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthokeratology I've been wearing Ortho-K lenses for 12 years now, I wear them while I sleep and enjoy 20/20 vision during the day. No glasses since then. A little pricey (about the same as Laser), and somewhat difficult to...

    For those 35+: Did you start riding b/c of a midlife crisis?

    Yep.. that's what everyone else is beginning to think. I think my wife wants to grow old together ... now.... I was fun before I met her, now I'm so boring I bore myself... I've had it, it's time for some deep changes, time to reclaim myself, I bought the bike last year against her wishes, I'm...

    For multiple motorcycles: how about insuring by plate?

    ^^^ No tracker for me please. I can't see this working anyway, all the MTO databases, police access terminals etc. would have to be updated to allow for multiple vehicle descriptions under the same plate. Major coin for that change to an already antique system.

    What a Vasectomy is Really Like - Best of Craigslist

    Yep, sounds familiar, pain of the needles was bad but, the nausea was far worse. Worse than that (and not even mentioned) was the swelling, I felt like I had a very sensitive nausea ball (about the size of a softball) between my legs for 3 days and that my kids couldn't resist jumping into my...

    Throttle lock recommendation

    LOL Ok, lots of options. Safety is my first concern. The pinch type ones, do they mar your grip at all (I have original '83 grips in great shape). I'd like a cheap solution that works, I like the idea of being able to remove it easily for in-town (I'd rather ride twisties, highways are just...
