    Head scratcher?

    Thanks to all who replied with helpful advice. Fuse was fine, so I gave the battery a good charge, turned it over with the throttle wide open and within 30 seconds it fired! Gave it a good run today, refuelled it and ran some errands. All good! Started each time, didn't struggle and rode as...

    A brother firefighter killed this morning in North Pickering

    He was an Acting Captain with Toronto with over 21 years on the job. This one hits too close to home for me, both professionally and personally. I've been to quite a few calls/fires with Brian and known him since when I was assigned to the Heavy Rescue in the East core of the city. Always calm...

    What does "Work" mean to you?

    I subscribe to the idea that suggests " If you love what you do, you will never work another day in your life." I'm blessed that I've loved every trade, vocation and experience I've ever had...especially my current one. I guess I've never really worked at all.

    SUZUKI 600 cc (what is wrong with them)

    FWIW, I looked at a lot bikes before I chose a GSXR 600. Granted, it definitely wasn't my first bike as I've been riding a long time, but I found it and the CBR 600 were the best fit for me in the 600cc class of SS bikes. I went with the Suzuki over the Honda due to ease of maintenance and...

    Police conducting bitz on distracted drivers and cell phone users May 16-22

    I've got a neighbour who's a real estate agent (an aging MILF, with the obligatory stunt parts installed) and everytime she backs out of her driveway, she's got her phone pasted between her ear and her shoulder. Doesn't matter if she's alone, got her kids in the car or is slathering on the war...
