    How long from Barrie to Toronto on 400

    I'd never do it, but I understand the reason that someone would. A perceived savings and great weekends out of the city. But my time is precious. I had to build a Payless shoe store in Belleville last year and was commuting every day. 90 minutes each way and it was killing me. Let's just...

    Remains found in Mexico identified as those of missing American

    After living in Mexico for 5 years on and off, I would tell you that you are crazy to go off on your own like that. Sure, there's lots of nice people, but also a lot of dangerous people. And no one trusts the cops. So there you have it. One time we were ridiing our bikes down the highway...

    Kill it! Kill it with fire!

    Some good, some bad. No doubt the guy is extremely talented. The results in the shapes and finishes is amazing. I wonder if he was wearing a mask, though. That stuff can be nasty.

    Kill it! Kill it with fire!

    On another note: a huge shortage of expanding foam at the Home Depot.

    What do you believe in?

    This poll likely represents a good cross section of Canada. I know that some people claim Christianity or another religion, but when I visit the church where my kids were baptised, it is largely empty with the people attending being mostly old. I think that this is the reason that Canada has...

    109 Cycle great job and friendly service

    I just got my bike back from 109 Cycle and the guys did a great job, with fast service. I got new tires, an oil change, lubrication and adjustments, replaced a fork seal, etc., plus a certification. I got the Michelin Road Pilot 4's. Probably some of the more expensive ones, but I wanted good...

    Buying Selling on Kijiji woes

    I posted and ad for my BMW X3 tires and rims, when I got rid of. the car I asked for a lousy 500.00, for virtually new BMW rims with Blizzaks (2,500.00+). I just wanted to get rid of them. A typical response- "will you take 300.00 and meet me somewhere along the QEW?".

    East York'r just got a bike

    Nice one! I have to say that this bike feels so right for me. I'm 6' 2" and it fits like a glove. The power delivery seems very even and fluid. I can see why it was such a successful model.

    Motorcycle Spring Show - March 21 to 22nd

    I was drooling over that one as well! What a beautiful machine. The auto/manual tranny I found intriguing. It looked brand new and the sign posted to it said that it was discounted by 9000.00.

    Motorcycle Spring Show - March 21 to 22nd

    I had a great time at the show today. I saw a lot of bikes that I'd like to get. Man, if money was no object... Picked up a jacket, boots and gloves at the GP bikes booth. Checked out some babes, and yes, picked up the meat (my sons request). I think that I have my choices for a new bike...

    Buying Selling on Kijiji woes

    That's how I got such a great deal on my bike. The original owner really wanted to sell it, as he was moving. The lower the price he posted on Kijiji, the more flakes he got calling him. "Dude, do not sell that bike", they would say "I'll be right over". I showed up with cash and a trailer...

    Universities ?!?

    I have my daughter at Ryerson. Since we live more or less downtown it's great getting there. She's in psychology and a few other courses with a path towards law. It's costing us about 6,000.00/yr. But when she gets into the law program, apparently that's about 25,000/yr. I'm not too...

    Close call in Winnipeg

    It will always be a problem. Last weekend, some jerk cut me right off while driving my wife's new 335i. I had to slam on the brakes and quickly make an evasive maneuver. I was fuming. If she wasn't in the car it would have escalated dramatically. Later, she expressed her concern about me...

    H2R First Laps

    They must be made of brass. Almost 320km/h in the straight.

    Which company to go for a Bandit 1200 under 30 years old?

    Seems like a good deal at 2000.00. I'm paying 1,200.00/yr. I'm with Co-operators and have a house, life insurance, my 911, my wife's 335i, my Tundra and my cottage with them. I'm older with a clean record. I got quotations from TD and it was 2000.00. Intact was 2200.00.

    Dude on bike drives through mall to ditch cops and beats helicopter

    Is it just me, or do we see something happening in Surrey, BC almost every day? What the heck is up with that place? And they used to ridicule Toronto. West coast, bit-ches!

    How do you deal with racist/close-minded people?

    It's a common remark. They feel that our skin has a pinkish tone, compared to theirs.
