    Oil Change Epic Fail - overfill now won't start.

    Actually I've gone ahead and ordered some new sparks - I did notice last time I pulled to clean, that there was some non-ignited gas on them suggesting that there are ignition issues. I tested and there is current running through it, however I couldn't see any spark (perhaps too bright)...

    Oil Change Epic Fail - overfill now won't start.

    They were oiled up good; The sparks were new this season and it didn't look like the oil was baked on; so I cleaned them up pretty good. Aside from scraping them down is there any other cleaning I can be doing to them? sand paper on the contact? Torch?

    Oil Change Epic Fail - overfill now won't start.

    I have a 2002 Suzuki Katana and being proactive and overly ambitious, over filled my oil (probably about a quart over) similarly to this guy: http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?139385-89-ninja-250-overfilled-oil-(&highlight=oil+overfill I wasn't too far over the F mark in the...

    Electric scooter troubles

    I think just to get back to the main point of the posting, what can your buddy do: 1) look at the police report. Regardless of how much we speculate as to who was right or wrong, speculation is all it is. Look at the police report see who the officer determined to be at fault and use that to...

    Young women looking to marry rich - the exponential depreciation

    100k especially as a single income isnt huge dollars anymore, consider that the average price of a single detached home in Toronto is 600k plus, and condos are 4 and change.

    Safety Cert - Downtown TO

    Aside from having Rosey Toes come out and do the cert for me, I was wondering if anyone could reccomend a shop that could do a cert for me that's located downtown or just east of downtown. I'm looking for something that has some reasonable hours so that I don't have to take a day off work to...

    Motorcycles - You need to be rich... or have a trust fund.

    That is what I'm suggesting, which seems generous as per stats can. Agreeably incomes are likely higher in Toronto, however even at a 10-15% premium for inflation and another 10% for location, the math still doesn't pan out. http://www.statcan.gc.ca/edu/img/edu02_0019a_01-eng.jpg If you live...

    Motorcycles - You need to be rich... or have a trust fund.

    I guess part of my point was - at 3000 bucks, if you do the math, that's: 4050 pretax at a 35% tax bracket or 4200 pretax at a 40% tax bracket... Any tax rates under that and you're fundamentally spending more than 10% of your total yearly income on insurance.... .... .... That's nuts. I...

    Motorcycles - You need to be rich... or have a trust fund.

    How do you guys afford to pay 3000+ dollars a year for motorcycle insurance on a 600 SS? I keep trying to get my head around the super high cost of ownership for something you can only use 6-7 months of the year. Is there something I'm missing? That seems like a ton of money. What do you...

    Laid-off? GTAM Members looking-out.....???

    I notice that there are a lot of questions re: wrongful termination / termination benefits; I work in HR and am fairly up to date with legislation, case law and benefits, if you have questions I can try my best to field them. PM is the easiest way to get in touch with me.
