    There is serious truth in that, I`ve thought that for many years. The legal system is a mega-bucks industry.

    Need help with my Vintage bike! (1978 Yamaha XS400)

    Jack up the gas cap and slip a new R3 under it...J/K. As you know, old machines can be a royal pain. Could the ignition switch or side stand cut out switch, if equipped,, be suspect. How about the plug wire or cap?

    Go Leafs Go!

    Lets go Oilers! I`ll wear my Leafs ball cap pushing my mower later today, and I`ll sweat more than any Leaf did last night.

    Displacement helps and age of the bike is important too. I looked at a `25 ZX-4rr though, still about 900/yr. For me. UnF`n believable.

    Hey,.....Zarco won the French MotoGP last weekend. His home race, on a Honda too. Miracles can happen. 🙃 We`ll see tomorrow night.

    That`s the story. My home and car are bundled with Desjardins at a good rate. If I add the bike it is hundreds more in total, that wasn`t the case when Desjardins was State Farm. If I bundle my home and car, with the bike, with Wawanesa, those policies are hundreds more. WTF?.....It`s like...

    Manse / Kingston rd 6:30pm May 15 2025

    Terrible news, RIP to the father and son. Generally the less government meddling in anything is good but perhaps it`s time for the provincial government to multi- media heavily bombard the inept, distracted, zero skills, apathetic, driving public regarding motorcycle awareness. The look twice...

    R1300 triple black

    The Ducati looks good. The BMW though.....yeah it works well but... Slab sided soulless Germanic King Tiger thing, undecided if that`s good or bad :p Hey,.. I`m largely German ancestry, that`s how I feel. A test ride on either would `prolly park one in my garage.

    R1300 triple black

    Don`t. But if you do, eye bleach on standby. Almost as hideous were the Low Slingers from Suzuki. I test rode the 1000 model, what a turd. Not a Suzuki knock, I had a hot-rodded `78 GS1000, one of the all time greats.

    BMW added just a pinch of Suzuki Madura for the win.

    High speed trains

    California began a high speed train in `08, SF to LA. The cost was set at 33 billion, to be completed in`28. Now it`s up to 135B...and only partially complete in the late 2030`s. Here would be the same idea.

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    As I took off my helmet, I`d show the cop he isn`t dealing with some young punk. He yells out, " Hey you old punk ". 😜 It is a thing, my neighbor who`s 78 got off with a warning for 75 in a 40, school zone...lucky.

    Yamaha RD 350

    Most motorcyclists view bike thieves like 1860`s horse thieves. They belong at the wrong end of a rope. I`ve never has a bike stolen but had a few stripped of parts, instruments mainly but exhausts and other aftermarket brake calipers and lines. Not a good feeling. Had a `83 RZ350 btw. Rode a...

    R1300 triple black

    What was the last really good lookin` BMW? I`d say the R90s. I`ve always liked the RT series, I think they do a good job on a big do it all bike.

    No question about it. I knew two guys that opted out last year. Great guys in their 40`s and 50`s with a load of family and friends. Great jobs and each talented. It`s nuts when something goes sideways in your head and then you`re dead.
