Would it make a difference if you gave an insurance company other business as well? Also, IMHO you would be better off to throw the SS in storage and buy yourself a smaller, older bike till you hit the big two five. I ride a 95 XR650L (duallie) and it's a blast. I'm much older so don't have...

That's INSANE! Had the couple stayed together there never would have been an opportunity to have that "extra" income, so the point should be moot. So I guess this means ANY extra income is fair game? Lottery winnings? Inheritance? Insurance settlement? That's nuts... Is it feasible for all...

Hi All, I still have on my bucket list to go for a ride in an open-cockpit airplane (preferable a biplane). I used to fly but lost my license shortly after I got it due to a medical condition; every couple of years when the itch gets bad I hire a small plane & pilot for a bit of sightseeing...

Reading all the comments it certainly nice to see the Star's "Woe is mom..." attempt backfired. While I don't condone what the dad did it's understandable. They system put him in an unrealistic and untenable position. Lots of men commit suicide when it happens to them...this guy chose to run...

RIP Andy, you were a class act. Now if only I can get the theme song from "The Andy Griffith Show" out of my head...it's been stuck in there since I heard the news...

Undergrad: Sociology/Psychology double-major at UVic Postgrad: MBA Professional designation: CGA Even though I have a knack for it accounting sucked in the beginning, dull as hell...career really took off after I had a few years under my belt. Now I'm exec-level and wouldn't trade my career...

Before you go further with this please try this first: I had all 4 wisdom teeth impacted (2 of them were turned 90 degrees from where they should have been!) and they were extracted for free, it was covered under the provincial health plan as a medical procedure, not a dental one. It was done...

Check your city bylaws. Most prohibit street parking beyond a certain amount of time regardless of whether you are a resident or not. In Ajax it's three hours on residential streets. That said though they don't usually issue tickets unless its winter (road must be clear for snow plows) or...

Hi All, My early 1990's vintage home air conditioner is finally nearing the end of it's life. Last year it wouldn't cool the house below about 26°C in the summer and since it runs using the uber-nasty R666 (or whatever) refrigerant I can't get it topped up. I've been looking for a couple of...

I spent a few years in Vancouver and lived in an area that was notorious for car theft. On the advice of a cop I modified my car by relocating the fuel pump relay to inside the car within easy reach of the drivers seat. When I parked my car I would simply pop the relay off and put it in my...

Hopefully Wong-Tam (Toronto City Councillor) won't find out what happened. We'll be having to deal with the long-handled spear registry...

I'll second (third?) the Beemer. My neighbour has one of these (same colour even). He's got a 31" inseam and the bike's 31½" seat height fits him perfectly. His only complaint is that the 9½ liter fuel tank is pitifully small and believe it or not there is NO helmet lock. I've taken it for a...

I installed Heidenau K60's on my XR650L a few weeks ago. I've only had them on the road so far but with everything I've read about them expect they will be excellent in the dirt as well. I've been pleased with how they handle wet roads too, very stable. I've been very impressed so far; they...

Hi All, I spent 30 minutes in GP Bikes today perusing their glove collection. Nothing fit. I got big hands but short fingers so XL gloves mostly fit fine in the palm but I had a lot of space at the fingers (I hate that...). The "L" Gloves fit mostly good on the fingers but too tight on the...

Sigh...I like it but too flimsy for my porky 360-pound XR650L :( It has a max capacity of 300 pounds... On edit: No stock at PA and no plans to reorder, looks like folks are SOL. Not sure why PA still has it on their website...

Chuck Norris once bet NASA he could survive re-entry without a spacesuit. On July 19th, 1999, a naked Chuck Norris re-entered the earth's atmosphere, streaking over 14 states and reaching a temperature of 3000 degrees. An embarrassed NASA publicly claimed it was a meteor, and still owes him a beer.

In fine print on the last page of the Guinness Book of World Records it notes that all world records are held by Chuck Norris, and those listed in the book are simply the closest anyone else has ever gotten.

Every time you say "nobody's perfect", you insult Chuck Norris.

I love my PSP (great for long flights) and like the look of the Vita but what about a UMD drive for us existing PSP owners? I never bought the "Go" because there was no way I could port my existing UMD games over to the Go and would have to buy everything over again. I also rarely buy a game...
