    How Long Can Economic Reality Be Ignored?

    It was really a rhetorical question, but yes. Christy has done a brilliant job selling BC as somewhere that's open for business.

    Sept1 licensing fees

    Completely agree, same ****, different shovel. He just has a better barber. 600 troops going on "Peacekeeping Duties".... Wait... Didn't he call Harper out on that. His challenge, and what he has not thought through is that he has to avoid getting the country dragged into intractable conflicts...

    How Long Can Economic Reality Be Ignored?

    I don't think that necessary true. Our company just moved the majority of their manufacturing jobs to BC, and the rest to upstate NY. I'm sure that had the option to go to China so there must have been a reason why they did not. The question then becomes what can/did BC offer that Ontario cannot.

    Sept1 licensing fees

    I think Trudeau is completely incompetent. He reminds me of a little child in the school yard with no friends and will desperately do or say anything to be liked. However other Provinces seem to be doing OK. BC for example. Their idea of a scandal was public servants fudging their expenses to...

    Hard Anodizing

    Any recommendations for someone in the GTA who does this? It has to be industrial Hard Anodizing, not the decorative stuff for billet. I need to get the inside of a pair of fork legs done and its very expensive to send to Racetech since the Canadian $ is now in the toilet :-(

    How Long Can Economic Reality Be Ignored?

    Sorry. I think I got you confused:-) They didn't move people there. They laid them off and hired locals in BC and NY.

    How Long Can Economic Reality Be Ignored?

    I had thought about quitting back in June and just riding for 3 or 4 months but I already had a trip booked to Ireland in July. I'll see if I can get another year out of it. I'll be 55 then so it will be pretty much time to retire. The thing that pisses me off is that our company is sending...

    How Long Can Economic Reality Be Ignored?

    It's bad. Our company has lost 75% of its employees in 6 months. Some jobs went to Vancouver but most went to the US. The only thing out there are part time McJobs.

    Shipping a Motorcycle from the Northern Ireland to Toronto

    Again. Thanks to all. I got a quote for £262.63 GBP for Door to Port service in Toronto. All in all it seems pretty reasonable.

    Shipping a Motorcycle from the Northern Ireland to Toronto

    Thanks All. $500 is fine. It's around what I was expecting. I'll reach out to them. I would love to go to every Irish road race. Such a great experience. It's almost like the Northern Ireland National Sport. I need to go to England on September 7th so I'll just fly across and pack it up.

    Shipping a Motorcycle from the Northern Ireland to Toronto

    I just came back from 2 weeks in Ireland where we hired some bikes and toured around. We went to the Armoy road races - which is a whole other thread :) - and stayed in a B&B where I came across 1981 Suzuki X7. I've always loved them so I bought it. For 75 pounds I thought it was a good deal...

    What's a good first car?

    Hee Hee. My son has a Mazda3 GT 2.5 and I have to say I love to drive it. It's like driving a go-cart. I even did a track day in it at the DDT track at CTMP. His is particularly bad as the paint just seemed to fall off. I called Mazda Canada for Him and the first thing they asked was did you...

    Donald Trump: Sociopath?

    I can see how some of these points could apply to Trump. I do think it's a perfect description of Bill Clinton though. There are examples of every single one of these through out his presidency. I get the feeling Hillary is exactly the same Bill's probably salivating over the White House...

    France terror again

    Well, regardless of what taxonomy or semantics you want to apply, or regardless of the fact that the guy was an Islamic terrorist, depressed, insane, high or whatever, 84 people including children who should have went home to their families last night didn't. RIP

    2005 ZX10r No Electrical Power

    Sounds like the battery. If your getting no running lights its a pretty good sign. I had one go really quickly in a car once. It was starting fine all day and I had actually pulled into a dealers to get an oil filter. Came back out and there was nothing. The mechanic who swapped the battery...

    Exhaust pipe bending

    I'm restoring a 1977 KZ650. I managed to find a used Kerker on eBay for a later model and took a chance and bought it. The header fits perfectly but muffler is touching the swinger. I need the collector pipe bent about Half an inch to clear it. Could an muffler shop do this? I was also...

    Machine shop that can cut fork tubes

    Thanks. Some good ideas here TK4, I wouldn't mind them sticking through the the clamps about an inch but they are so long I wouldn't be able to get the bars on. Statesman. The issue with pitting is that it's not a cosmetic problem. The pits ride over the oil seals and bushings causing wear...
