I don't claim to have the cost/benefit answer, just that it might be a wash because the numbers are harder than both of us think. In my personal case, I get better fuel mileage per km traveled on my snows vs. three-season tires because I use a narrower tire and they don't spin all the time. My...

Mandating winter tires would only incur a cost for vehicles that don't go into hibernation for the winter and don't already use them. Not all vehicles. If anything, I think mandating their use for all fleet and rental vehicles would be acceptable. The 'cost' is also a one-shot deal, and should...

Gloves. Slightly more effort with the plugging in and running the wires but I find the difference worth it. With my old grips I had to move my hands around a lot to balance the palm to fingertip temp, with my new Tourmaster gloves I just have to turn the heat down when everything gets too hot...

Not only do they have to take pictures, the unit has a webcam which a ministry overseer can access to watch for fraud attempts or help the technician. I'm told (but don't know with any authority) that the new fine for a technician trying to scam the system is $4,000,000. I don't know what...

8K for a WSBK tuned 1000cc Bike? I'll take three.

You might be surprised, I've met many people with more money than brains who buy the biggest set on account of not knowing what they need and only have the price to go on as the measure of quality.

Fair enough, I was mainly commenting on what seems to be a poorly written CBC article, it doesn't even mention WSBK. This one is better: http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/185490/1/canadian_pension_fund_to_buy_39_of_dorna.html I have a hard time seeing CPP as a premier sponsor, Bombardier, on...

How misleading... CPP invests in ' an event management, media and marketing company' and some other fluff, not FIM and FIA.

At the risk of sounding silly, if rider-aboard is the limiting case, would it not be more useful to measure for slack requirements with the suspension compressed?

The logical response would be to pick up the noisy beast and drag it back to the other end of the cord, no?

Looks like the front of the bikes to me, as if we are on the lead bike looking back.

True, which is why it would need more data to clean it up, once we have that we can log it and analyze it later as a bonus. Who is going to let me put extra beacons around the track to break it into sectors? Will different organizers let me put them in the same places week after week?

A lap timer is about all I would want. Have it talk to a gps which has programmed with the track info and you're mostly there. I believe there are phone apps which try to do this already but I doubt their accuracy, you need a good accelerometer based ILS to smooth out the data. I'd want lap...

I'm not going to tell you it's legal, because I'm not a lawyer. I can however say, that nobody cares. The networks, publishers and lawyers send plenty of take-down notices for ppv events (UFC, mainly), movies, and software and say absolutely nothing about tv shows, not even the dvd or blueray rips.

Cops don't actually look, they just put it on a list so it pops up if they are running the plate or checking the vin if they think it's abandoned. A CRX owned by my ex ended up in Brampton almost a month after it was stolen, apparently it was sitting in mall lot for over a week before someone...

I'll bet the $20 there is a Lien, and the seller doesn't want you to know until you have already paid him and are standing at the counter trying to register it.

When I got my hitch installed, the uhaul and hitch city offerings were the same, down to the part numbers. I went with hitch city in scarborough after I considering some history with uhaul maintenance and safety records. Their wiring wasn't horrible but I ended up re-doing some of it and...

If they can tow cars... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiojZ7HfCWo

Pro6 had a rivet in stock for the chain I got from them, handy since I forgot to ask for it.

I found a review saying it has worse rolling-shutter effect than gopro. For that reason alone I'll say "Pass" and wait for the next evolution. Might be okay on a helmet instead of the bike, but that's not my cuppa.
