    Route from Toronto to Midland

    I am doing the same route from the west side of Toronto and the default non-highway from google is to use 27 so wondering how the weston/sideroad 5 route you are suggesting compares vs airport road/27 which is a few "blocks" over? Less traffic? Better scenery?

    How To Get Into Stocks?

    If you are going to pick individual stocks as an newb private investor.... Learn Blackjack and go to the casino. At least you will loose money slower and get some drinks comp'd. How much time a week are you willing to spend on this? 1hr? 5? 15? If you aren't willing to play - don't enter the...

    Dominican republic or Cuba?

    Been to Punta Cana and Varadero but not Punta Cana. My vote - Cuba all the way. Varadero is the Daytona beach of Cuba, party place but not a lot of culture or atmosphere. Diving/reefs are better elsewhere in cuba. Scooters rock in Cuba. So do the old Cars. Food isn't as good (good luck on...

    10 in the fall when I'm feeling like a pansy 5 or less (amount of salt on the road) in the spring.

    Google buying RIM?

    It's funny all the people downplaying a soft keyboard are current BB users. I've been on BB since 2002 and gone through 5 generations of their devices. I switched to Android August last year. Not looking back. Took at least a week to get used to the new keyboard (HTC is the best so far on...

    So Who went out and picked up the Iphone 4S?

    Honestly - you do get used to it. I have had a blackberry for the last ... 10 years? I switched 3 months ago to an android device. It took about 2 weeks but I am faster now than I was on my BB. I find the screen on the iPhone too small though but they have arguably one of the top keyboards...

    Passed! Full M rider now!

    Thanks all! For some reason I had thought it would be more "riding skills". As in "how to ride your bike" in general. Now that I think about it - I'm not really sure why... Probably just my pretty newb-ish view of "would be nice to know a few tricks / tips" for improving cornering or...

    Passed! Full M rider now!

    Passed my M2X on the weekend, had my M2 for 5 years but only got a bike and started riding this year. Thanks RTI for the course and friends who encouraged me to go for the exit rather than just renewing M1/M2 for another 5 years. I'm in Etobicoke with a SV650 if you ever want to head out for...

    Dog Breed Recommendations

    Also+1 on petfinder. 1 dog and 1 cat from there. Both are great. Things to think about.. Kids / no kids? (now and future) Other Pets? In terms of energy level / exercise requirements when you say "walks" a few times a day do you mean 5 mins outside to go #1/2 or 1 hr of leash free romping...

    Fuel econ, efficiency and Power - are we missing out?

    Are motorcycles being left behind in the fuel economy push? Take the current 2011 Transport Canada rankings for cars. Removing the hybrids which have a technology we don't have access to and diesels you still see vehicles like these at the top of the list: Smartfortwo 1000cc engine, 70hp...

    Worst drivers - by make & model of their cage...

    Let's setup some fun discussion on which vehicle make/models contain the worst drivers in your experience. Note:don't care WHO is inside - just interested in the community stereotypes of driver skill as expressed by their choice of vehicle. I'll start - I used to avoid VW Golf drivers - too...

    Bell TV or Cogeco Digital?

    I'm on it now (moved from Sat to IPTV). "Huge" might be a bit much but it's pretty good. Sat I found more reliable. The Sett top boxes for IPTV (Fibe) are little computers really so they need to be rebooted now and then like any other computer. The whole home PVR rocks. full stop. All your...
