    Motorcycle Safety Inspection - my experience June 2025

    Does every harley dealer still have a scrap metal dumpster full of new exhausts? There about to be a lot of ****** off owners when they realize that the vehicle they rode off the showroom floor can't pass a safety for less than a few thousand dollars.

    Motorcycle Safety Inspection - my experience June 2025

    Good to hear. I spoke with an honest friend that owns a shop (they deal with cars and trucks, not sure about bikes). New safeties run almost double the time (physically measuring drum brakes is slow and gives you very little more info than an eyeball inspection). Similar to MM, they have...

    Inverters !

    Upside to that is you don't need to worry about the boat not starting as too much coffee just kills the lithium and leaves the starting battery full.

    Interesting. Thanks. My router has an sfp+ port so I could run Fibre into it if I bought the proper adapter. That's theoretically the fastest connection (although it may be blocked by isp) but not sure it's worth the effort and expense. At best I have 1Gbps inside house. If isp equipment can...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    It's probably more of a pencil pushing problem than a designer problem. They know you need the part so they price it to the moon. Like every appliance where the control board is priced over 50% of the entire appliance. They could sell it for a tenth of that and still make bank but they have...

    Bluetooth, where to start!

    FWIW, my wife has a pair of Beats Fit Pro. Sound quality is meh but I've heard worse. They are inside your pinna so should fit fine in most helmets. They are theoretically sweat resistant but not waterproof. One fell out into the sink full of water months ago. Threw it in rice and it was fine...

    I find those guys annoying. Too much babbling, not enough rawr.

    Inverters !

    I haven't seen one of those that would work with an induction stove. That brings you back to fire or resistance heat. I'd stick with the nespresso for all the reasons you listed. As for the power usage, it's easy to test with something like a kill-a-watt and get a real kwh required. Even...

    Canada Post - Huge losses

    And very few of those changes have anything to do with CP/CUPW negotiations. Although I'm sure once those changes are made, cupw will have lots to say.

    Abba Skylift

    A large chamfer on a small lathe just means more passes. I assume your lathe has a compound slide. Adjust the compound to the angle you want and crank away. As for what shape you need, press play dough into recess, pull it out and you have the shape you need. Measure, draw and duplicate.

    Canada Post - Huge losses

    Not afaik. Technically they announced they were going on strike, waited the required time and then stopped doing overtime. I don't know if an escalation requires another waiting period or if it can just happen overnight. I'm sure there are many in your situation and CP volumes will be much...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    I wasn't sure if this was real but it seems like it might be. 2023 zero demo clearout on west coast. <50% of msrp. Does @Lightcycle want a quiet bike?

    Aching Shoulders

    A little more work to compare after but you can use a tripod or tree to hold your phone while you ride past slowly. Screen capture the best frame. No friends or centre stand required. Also, while probably minor, your torso may be at a slightly different angle to the bike when on centre stand vs...

    Reverse mortgage...redux

    He needs to raise revenue by 11 figures. He is increasing spending and promised to reduce taxes. The budget does not balance itself.

    Reverse mortgage...redux

    Taxing principal residences is such a complicated land mine that effect of reverse mortgage will be a rounding error. If they try and implement it their needs to be a starting value (maybe current market value?) and from that point forward you track renovations/investments in the property so...

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    And that is a shining star in the cap of ALPR. Keep hammering morons until they change their behaviour. Even the pressure applied by family members that constantly get pulled over to check for the dirtbag helps.

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    Driver has no CVOR certificate. That's one of the charges. Can't lose what you don't have. Now, we can't tell if driver doesn't have it at all or just doesn't have proof they have it.
