No one expects The Spanish Inquisition. Back to my now redacted original post, that is where my comment to the effect that "Islam needs it's own Reformation, out of the 17th century". A significant minority subscribing to the Muslim faith is significantly backwards, as compared to the other...

meh not worth it

I got a 70 lb, 2 1/2 year old impromptu baby-gate, formerly a working HDTV that says otherwise. I've done a fair amount of research in the past 36 hours. The 42" VO42L is one model that is problematic. The 37" and 47" models also have similar issues. Second tier, with 3rd tier pricing...

For the Love of God do NOT get a VIZIO. Junk! Look up up the phrase 'black screen of death hdtv' on Google .. whats the first thing to pop up? VIZIO. I bought a Vizio VO42L back in November 2008. It basically sat unused and unplugged until January 2010. I have since used it as a secondary...

A refresher in sex-ed 101 might well be in order..:laughing3: :D

Sold.

Not the same bike, but similar pulled off the 'net. Norton 850 Commando. First ride on the back of one of these at the age of 10, thanks to my uncle. Set the hook, line and sinker. 2nd most inspirational would be a Ducati 860 Darmah owned by the same uncle.. Never did get a ride on that...

Another thought that comes up - that i don't think i've really seen addressed yet. is the financial aspect - the fallacy that motorcycling is a 'cheap' form of transportation. It isn't. Factor in insurance, consumable parts costs, safety gear costs, maintenance and service costs, and this...

Please note my qualifier- "by his appearance alone". Professor Hawkings is extremely physically disabled. Mentally, he's sharper than any 10 people on this forum combined. I hate to also Godwin this thread - but by the philosophy of the Nazi's and racial genetics, he would have been one of...

While there are wait-lists involved in getting involved with the various community living programs and their various programs, there is no real qualification limitations on respite care for the disabled, for primary caregivers in the home. If you apply, and you have a validated need for...

This particular case has a lot more to do with the actions of a psychopath against someone unable to defend him or herself, vs any perception of disability rights that the disabled individual has. This is about as far and as away from the Robert Latimer case as you can get, as a comparator -...

Re: If You or Want To Ride The Dragon Horse poop. I've been down to deals gap myself a few times - starting about 1999. Last time i was able to go down is a while ago now, in 2004. I took the following photo on the Deals Gap website circa 2002. Typical Deals Gap blind corner, the...

My recollection goes back to circa 1992 - i remember the bike being trailered back from whatever crap-hole that he found it in. As i remember it, it was a red trim on white base stock paint-job originally. That rear light looks like something he'd have done - as i recollect, the original would...

So, if you aren't whinging, and yet you don't see the point that a condo parking lot without a lot of theft protection precautions in effect is pretty risky, or storing that later model motorcycle elsewhere to radically increase the chances that it remains *yours* makes some good sense.. what is...

That kind of eerily sounds like a mish-mash project bike that a friend's father built up (he owned an independant shop in Oakville at the time) and sold on. What a ghetto-tastic nightmare that bike was.

I also had a GR650 Tempter for a few years, again back in the early 90's. An '84 model, it was my third bike concurrent with the TX750, i think. I was actually pretty glad that i had the GR650 as a back-up/regular bike. While it was a total odd-duck of a bike as compared to the other Suzuki...

The two TX750's that i had (The '73 on road, and one '74 complete parts bike held in reserve) both had the retro-fitted engine cooling kit installed - which included a 'deep sump', an oil cooler and lines, and the oil passages in the barrels and heads drilled out further. As i understand it -...

1973 Yamaha TX750 that i had in the early '90s. It's of no exaggeration when i say it was one of the few survivors of that notoriously poor design, that should have been mercy-killed instead of being put back on the road by me. Still had fun with it - but posing with it was mandatory -...

Be my guest to ride whatever the heck you wish to ride, even if you live in a condo box in the sky. My point is that by your own choice to do so, you incur significant risk in owning a high-theft item like a late-model sports bike or other vehicle in terms of theft stats - without actually...

Greater Toronto Area. Why are all your posts so far, necro'ing old forum topics?
