It's better in the garage. The colder a battery is, the lower it's self discharge rate is - although, if you're leaving it on a "maintainer" for the duration - that doesn't matter much. So far as freezing goes - a fully charged battery will not freeze up in your garage, with the temperatures...

Re: We know you ride, but do you Shoot? Quite often, both are done at the same time. Usually they're set up to be done in a week end. Friday evening, all day Saturday and a good chunk of Sunday. Cost you in the neighbourhood of $275 to get your RPAL.

Re: We know you ride, but do you Shoot? Just got a flyer from Canadian Tire - they have a "hard" case on sale (starting today) - fits 2 scoped rifles (55" long). Looks pretty solid - has a "dry-loc" seal, so I assume it would offer water protection. Reg. $180, on sale for $130. They also show a...

Never been a fan of stickers/decals (or tattoos) - always liked the clean look. If something (or somebody) is in nice shape, has clean lines, a nice paint job and looks attractive, why screw up the visuals, by plastering extraneous crap all over it. On the other hand - if it's ugly, lumpy and in...

Been around long enough to be disappointed/frustrated/screwed over, by all parties - but that's bound to happen, as long as we have politicians running governments. At this point, I've become a one issue voter. Neither the NDP or the Liberals trust the Canadian citizenry to own firearms and...

You might try Hagerty. They're underwritten by Elite Ins. Co. 2206 Eglinton Ave. E. Suite 500 Scarborough, Ont. M1L4S8 The broker is Lant Ins. Brokers 37 Sandiford Dr. Suite 100...

If you think ABS is a good idea for cars - then it's a brilliant idea for bikes. Some "purists" think it doesn't belong on a bike. Of course, years ago, I thought electric start and turn signals didn't belong on a bike.

Wanna feel a little better about your filter ? Cut it open and spread it out - you'll probably find that 3/4's of it's surface, still looks clean.

eljay - if you haven't already got one, Canadian Tire has the "Eliminator" charger/maintainer (2,8,12 amp) on sale right now. Reg. $90 - now $58

Ya' - but then you wouldn't have been blown away by his awesome skilz !

eljay - One of the tender/maintainers I use is a MotoMaster "Eliminator" - it's a 2/8/12 amp unit. the CTC model number is 011-1518-8. I've had it for 3 years and it works well on smaller batteries (works fine on large ones, too - just takes a bit longer). Regular price for this unit is $89 -...

If it was my bike, I'd put the battery on a charger/tender for a few hours. My second choice would be to boost it from another battery (your car) and run the bike for an hour or two and let the bike's alternator charge the battery. Motorcycle alternators are happier topping up a battery, rather...

Re: We know you ride, but do you Shoot? You can also have a member of the club you're being invited to shoot at, send you a text, inviting you to shoot on the specific day and keep the text on your phone, so you can produce it, if you should be questioned.

Hydrogen Peroxide - 3% or 6% - pick up a bottle at the drug store - 400ml. is $3 or $4. Put some in a spray bottle and spray it on. Leave it for 5 or 10 minutes, you'll see the bug guts go foamy. Wipe off with a damp cloth. The hydrogen peroxide breaks down the proteins that makes the crap stick...

I was thinking the same thing. Wonder how this would have unfolded in Texas, or any of the other 37 "right to carry" states ?

Not much to do with snow/ice tires, but a response to Chiller's observation about speed ratings. You're right about most of us never needing the V, W or Z rated tires, on our roads, but it's been my experience that, these higher speed rated tires, usually require fewer and lighter weights, to...

Rob, what Diesel is saying - and I agree with, is - a firearm is not considered a weapon, unless it is used offensively - or defensively against a person. (deer and moose may offer a dissenting opinion, but it won't stand in a court of law). I have a couple of firearms and they are used solely...

Winter tires are generally a wee bit narrower than "summer" or "all-season" tires. The narrower the tire, the less friction on the pavement - and I was told, less rolling resistance - although, I'm not sure why that would be. So, assuming you're keeping them inflated to the proper pressure, I...

I may be able to fix you up with piece you're looking for - older P08, with new 6" barrel. P.M. me if interested.
