    Blue Mountain report

    It's a big storm... combination of two weather systems. I wonder if Blue will get packed on the weekend. Most likely as the drive Saturday should be alright. I don't like it when it's super busy. I try to go weekday evenings. Went Friday evening 2 weeks ago when most people wussed out...

    Primmum renewal just in:

    TD MM must've had a big rate increase for my area or possibly my alumni group. I did a quote with them last year, $800. Wasn't worth it for me to switch due to canx fees with my current carrier. Re-quoted with TD this year... $1400. Nothing changed except I'm a year older with a full M this...

    What do I need to know for buying a helmet online?

    If you're going to buy a helmet online without trying it out in person first, then you need to know the return/exchange policy.

    FedEx used parts from the US??

    I've never done this myself as I always get items shipped USPS but I've heard that if the items can only be shipped via UPS that you can either inform the courier prior to shipment that you intend to self-clear the items at your local CBSA office or refuse the shipment at the door telling them...

    Do any companies insure trackdays?

    Are track days something you can get coverage for under your standard Ontario Auto Policy (OAP 1)? Nope. However, you can insure pretty much anything that is not illegal as long as you find someone willing to insure you for it, you are willing to pay the premium and the agreement between...

    Cancelling insurance policy?!

    Here's the other thing to consider if you should ever file a claim, it doesn't take much effort for your insurance company to pull your record. Especially if it's a large claim, it's an opportunity for them to examine the policy all over again. It's written in your auto policy as part of your...

    M2 exit course and test

    As long as you're aware of what your bad habits are and how they can cost you points on the test, a couple of weeks of good practice should be enough prep. For looking, use common sense. You probably already know where to look. You just have to exaggerate your head movement so the examiner...

    TVs - Look for advice on TVs

    Keep an eye out for the unwanted soap opera effect on these 240Hz LEDs. Most of them now should have the option to turn off the feature if needed. Some of these new LEDs have a ridiculously high dynamic contrast ratio. Make sure the TV doesn't crush all the details in your blacks and blow...

    Ontario should make winter tires mandatory.

    A good Swedish designed tire. The Altimax is a rebranded version of the discontinued Gislaved Nord Frost 3. Continental AG is parent to both General Tire and Gislaved.

    Address on insurance doesn't quite match ownership or license.

    Address on insurance slip should match the address of the vehicle registration. Insurance companies can change the territory rating on your policy if the car is garaged and used primarily in a different city without you having to change the registration and pink slip. A case like this might be...

    World Juniors

    Oh of course that too. We can pick apart the goaltending, defensive zone breakdowns, team discipline and coaching but to me, this team man for man also didn't mentally execute and show composure when it mattered most. We were asleep in the semis against the Americans and fell behind early in...

    Called this. As for Canada, like I mentioned earlier, our mental game has really hurt us the past few years.

    Dealing with State Farm after car was hit in a parking lot

    Your policy covers your car for actual cash value which may not always be the same as your actual replacement cost. Having said that, you feel you've been low balled so what are your options? First step is perhaps to try to renegotiate the value. Ask your adjuster for a copy of the valuation...

    Shark Helmet dealer in GTA?

    It's where I got my Shark helmet but I don't think Pannon still has a store open anymore? Looks like you can order left over stock online from them though but OP says he needs to try them on. Kahuna also had some last time I was there in the fall.

    World Juniors

    TSN is reporting that Binnington is starting. Canada will always have the talent to ice competitive teams. We won't be as dominant as we once were though. What I think has hurt us the past few years is the mental side of the game, however, remember that these are just kids still learning...

    World Juniors

    No excuses but that's 2 years in a row it looks like getting the bye to the semifinal has hurt our team. They might be the underdogs against the Swedes but Team USA is hot right now with the best goaltender. We'll get junior gold again someday but I'll be surprised if we ever reach the same...

    Where to get the Motorcycle Handbook/What part of the G handbook do you need for M1?

    If I can remember correctly, you only need to know the road rules and signs that you were tested on for the G1 plus additional sections specific to the M1 from the moto handbook. If you plan to take the safety course in the spring, additional basics will be taught and tested there for your M1...

    Opinion on USED NINJA 250 prices.

    People are insane asking $4,000 for a used 250 when a new 2012 can be had from the dealer for $3999 + fees. At 6'2, it won't be the most comfortable for long distances but plenty of riders have managed. Otherwise, the 250 is a great learners bike and cheap entry point into the world of...
