The contractor rewards for Lowes is much better than HD, but there are not enough stores, the website isn't as good, and the fact that some Rona stores are franchised while others are corporate is a PITA for returns. Buy something in Calgary HD, return it in Fredericton if need be. Definitely...

I absolutely believe debt is a tool, but it isn't used in such a manner. Debt is how governments buy votes, and social idiots buy friends/likes. A large portion of Canada's older population likes Pierre Trudeau because their wages went up and HATED Mulrooney because of GST. Go to the debt...

I stand corrected, good on you.

I'm a bit late to the game since you've bought a bike already, but my suggestion would have been a racer5 or similar track oriented package. You can rent the bike, rent the gear, and actually learn how to ride. My son is still a few years from getting his license but he's done track and races...

With all this 'maintenance' do you guys actually have time to ride your bikes? All I can picture is the coffee shop chrome guys with 15 year old bikes and 3000kms on the odometer.

Now I'm curious, if you've admitted that you're new to bikes and don't know how to fix them, why did you open the stator case? In any case (pun intended) just make sure you didn't damage the gasket and pin it back together. Top up oil and you're good to go.

I am most definitely NOT a socialist, but I'm also not heartless and accept starvation in the streets. We should move toward a workfare system though. No one that I have ever met is completely useless (some where pretty close admittedly). Have these people pickup garbage, plant flowers in...

Exact same problem with Triumph Daytonas and Dunlop slicks. Oddly, I burned through almost the entire length of an abs fender, but when I switched to a Daytona R carbon fender, there's no contact.

I agree with Lightcycle, cap it on everything. Limit debt to xx% of a person's monthly salary. If a company exceeds that percentage, there would be no recourse if the debt isn't repaid. Today you can buy two cars, furnish your house, and outfit the garage with tools without spending any...

Printing copious amounts of money, then handing it out to anyone that asked devalues a currency. If the currency is worth less, and the value of the products hasn't changed, then the price goes up. That's inflation. Anyone except Robert Mugabe can grasp this I assume. I know people that were...

You're kidding right? https://spencerfernando.com/2020/10/07/the-bank-of-canada-is-printing-money-like-crazy/

Out of curiosity, how many people that are complaining about inflation now were happy to receive CERB for the last two years? Just curious.

Prices do come down either because of competition with other retailers, or new retailers entering the market. They do not, however, come down as quickly as they go up. The term for the phenomenon is called sticky prices. And your options will be: 1. Pay 2% premium for 1% cash back 2. Pay...

A lot of people have clearly never taken an economics class. The retailer doesn't pay the extra cost, the cardholder does. You get your 1% cash back, but the retailer has unintentionally raised their prices by 3% to account for that expense. When this goes into effect, prices for goods will...

I've had way more luck with lithium batteries than agm.

Depends on the kid's size. My daughter can ride decently, but she's about 4'4" and weighs in at a whopping 54lbs. She rides a 110crf now and there's no way she'd be able to pick it up. I've also seen the opposite. 6'2" and could bench press the litre bike they own but belong on a tricycle.

KTM gets a cut of MV's customers repair bills.

I got my daughter a ttr50 when she was 6, and upgraded this year (she's 8). The estart is nice, but have some way to boost it conveniently. For a 3 year old you're probably better off with the crf because a 3 year old won't be able to pick up the bike by themselves and restart it anyway...

Don't pull the headlight fuse, just disconnect the headlight connector.

I had no idea the site was still up, thanks. As for the gloves, I've had a few pairs of Jimmy's gloves (gauntlets) and crashed the $#!T out of all of them. They all held up great and I found them to be the most comfortable gloves. I've used the original shorty style gloves for the street and...
