    VW deisel?? wtf...

    I guess I am one of the few then.... I know a lot of people chip and tune their cars, but I'm not one of them..... If I was after performance, I definitely would not have bought a diesel!! And yes, I agree diesel is not the cleanest alternative (or the cheapest), but the associated "penalty" of...

    VW deisel?? wtf...

    Still don't know what you are nitpicking about?? Point is, these are marketed as "clean" diesels which were a factor in mine (and I'm sure many other's) decisions, in addition to the spectacular fuel economy that these cars get which was the primary factor in my decision (an I'm sure many...

    VW deisel?? wtf...

    Never said it was my main reason for buying, but having it be "clean" didn't hurt, especially when the other option was a hybrid

    VW deisel?? wtf...

    I liked the fuel economy, wife wanted a hybrid but it made more sense for us, and the fact that it was a "clean" diesel didn't hurt because that was a big reason my wife wanted a hybrid (less emmisions). Using less gas is eco friendly too! (Same reason why we like to use our bikes for...

    VW deisel?? wtf...

    We decided to buy it because of the fuel economy and the fact that it was marketed as a "clean" diesel. We opted against buying a hybrid because of the amount of highway miles that we do. I liked the fuel economy and my wife liked the fact that is was (wrongfully) marketed as being eco...

    VW deisel?? wtf...

    My wife and I love our TDI wagon, we bought it earlier this year and have already put more than 20 K on it! I love the power, handling and especially the fuel economy, but I would have never bought one had I known it polluted so badly. Really disappointed as I thought I would be keeping this...

    Another great experience with frekeyguy

    Just wanted to give a review of Fiaz's work. He is very thorough. I had a complicated wiring job for several accessories that I needed to install on a relay and was not comfortable doing it myself. He did a really clean job with the installation, made sure that all the wires were neatly...

    Mount Temblant

    While I was there, I tried this route... really nice roads near tremblant, got choppy past that, but really good twists and turns, the 349 was a delight, but there is consstruction in some spots. Depending on how far east you want to go, try and go to the provincial park (La maurice), really...

    Mount Temblant

    Just got back from a short trip there... stayed close to tremblant at an air-bnb site for $40, pretty good for the money

    How do I choose a TV?

    Only thing I can add to the points here already, (and it's been mentioned twice already), is that if you are getting a 1080p TV, get at least 120hz refresh rate. It is a BIG difference between 60 to 120, and if you look, the ones on sale are usually the 60hz. If there is a 120 hz or above for...

    new rider, opinion on a Honda CB300FA

    If you are unsure, take a test ride on both. Honda is having an event ("rock the red" or "ride the red" or something) this sat in Markham, where you can demo bikes, I'm sure the 300 and the 3 different 500s will be there.

    Yamaha R3 or CBR500/CB500

    If you want ABS, then get the Honda. AFAIK, ABS is not offered on the R3. Might be a priority for some people, was a definite consideration for me.

    Touring tips - the little things

    Cycling shorts, can double your seat time between stops. Also someone here mentioned an airhawk.... if inflated correctly (i.e a lot LESS that you think you need), works wonders, way cheaper than buying an aftermarket seat.

    What is everyone wearing for touring gear?

    I'm using the AD1s, fit really well, easy to take on and off, and the armour can be moved around slightly. Only thing is that they are really stiff. Mine have broken in a bit, but I'm hoping they break in more. Completely waterproof though, and in the heat it's not too bad either.
