I'm not sure where this whole talk about immigrants came into play but the shooter was a white kid from USA suburban paradise. This kid was midly autistic and a social outcast who had access to a SAW; a weapon designed for annihilation. He also had practice at the shooting range. Stick a...

Neither do I personally which is why my earlier reply said "if". The replies to this thread and talk around octane rating doesn't seemed to be restricted to just motorcycles either so that is why my response was in more general terms.

You're right that octane rating itself is not a measure of performance or power but it will be most resistant to engine knock. If your ECU is able to detect this and take advantage of the high octane fuel, it can advance the timing to effectively increase compression and torque. Again, it's...

For certain things, the owner's manual is a helpful guide rather than a "must do". My owner's manual says the oil change interval is every 12,000 kms. Guess I'm a moron for changing it sooner. It also suggests to take some air out of the tires for winter storage while tire manufacturers...

True if your ECU is loaded with high octane fuel maps that can advance timing.

Stay away from a company called 360 Duct Cleaning. Completely unprofessional service. I was just glad I was able to get a full refund after weeks of unreturned messages and emails.

If it's anything like Honda's warranty for their cars, from what I've heard, importing the vehicle actually voids the warranty in both countries. Apparently, something in the warranty states that it is applicable only to vehicles "normally operated" in the USA and for while travelling outside...

The Honda CB500 shouldn't need anything to pass the RIV inspection.

Mmm... brains...

I guess I should have accounted for conditions by predicting the future that a car would spin out into my lane in front of me.

Guns are nice but in a post-apocalyptic world, ammo can get scarce pretty quick. Plus how much ammo can you carry on yourself once you're on the move?

Guys, someone asked for a report. I found one and posted a link. I didn't write the thing. As with anything you read, form your own conclusions and decide for yourself if it's useful or not, don't decide for others.

http://www.tirf.ca/publications/PDF_publications/2012_Winter_Tire_Report_7.pdf For anyone to lazy to read, the report basically says that on dry surfaces just above the freezing mark, a car equipped with all seasons has a 30% longer stopping distance than when its equipped with winter tires.

Then they'll say wait for Dec. 23rd because that's when the Mayan Calendar really ends according to some experts. Mind you, these same experts don't believe the Mayans were predicting the end of the world either. It's actually funny that this whole thing has become such a big deal that NASA...

Re: Jelly Bean is here It won't completely replace plastic cards just like plastic cards haven't replaced cash. NFC will work on the same terminals for those tap and pay credit cards. The incentive is not having to carry all those cards around or worry about losing them. Certain offers can...

Re: Jelly Bean is here And also show the merchants that it'd be worth they while to offer NFC transactions. In North America, it's kind of a chicken and egg scenario. Merchants don't see enough mobile subscribers with NFC enabled phones and mobile users don't see enough merchants who use NFC...

Re: Jelly Bean is here That's the aim behind it. Instead of carrying all your credit cards, debit cards, reward cards, coupons, etc., they are all stored in the cloud and accessed through Google Wallet. There's potential behind it. In Japan, they're already using NFC for public transit...

Re: Jelly Bean is here Google Wallet. As usual, Canada is a laggard.

Re: Jelly Bean is here That's all some Apple loyalists and cultists need to hear...

Whether the offense is a summary conviction or indictable offense will determine how and under what reasonable grounds a person can be arrested without a warrant or without the police actually being witness to the committed offense. That's my interpretation of the Criminal Code anyway.
