That is not good news [emoji3525] The Recaro seats in my 'Stang are really comfortable, the wanabe Recaros in other cars that I have driven still don't reach that standard of comfort.

RIP Rider, condolences to the family

RIP Rider ([emoji122]for the person that waited by his side)

Was on the 401 yesterday, as usual traffic was clumped at spots, what was not usual was to see squids riding at speed on the shoulder (some with scantily clad pillion passengers) and others weaving at will between lanes of traffic. Yeah, the traffic delay in hot sun is a pain, but the...

True dat, ByBre are Brembos, with the distinction that they are "small bike" brakes. (Sorry, don't mean to derail OP's post)

It was only the 350 Bullet assembly jigs that moved to India in the 50's. The "new" Conti is of more recent manufacture, 2013 I believe. Eicher Motors own the RE name plate.

KTM is considered an upmarket bike in the land of the most populous nation, never mind they use Bybre brakes and not Brembos. Import restrictions are onerous and it makes sense to establish a plant there if KTM plan on taking on the local market. Is the local plant a tie-up with a local mfr, a...

Was in the area and it was an alternate to Hwy 17. True dat, it is no match for the actual TOD, tho' it is a decent ride and I did see a black bear scuttling across the road.

On that note, would you classify the Kananaskis loop as the AB TOD? (I have ridden that on a rented Harley)

Agreed, 129 is definitely not the TOD but it is one of the nearest that we have in ON [emoji1]

Fuelled up at a reservation gas bar, cost me 20 cents/litre less than the Esso ahead. How do they manage that, is the quality of gas and the calibration of the dispensers the same as those on the "outside"?

Anyone done the 129 (Wawa and Espanola, are the nearest cities at either end) Plenty of curves, gradients, straights and decent paving, good scenery, no gas stations tho'. Wildlife? if you are lucky, black bear and moose (unlucky, if those animals impact you!)

Once its gone, its gone and even the best hearing aids are no match for the natural. As MacDoc has testified, HAs work well in a quiet environment and not so well in a room full of jabbering humans. And you know what, it is the same with IOLs, you trade one set of problems for another. Though, I...

The count of Temporary Foreign Workers is increasing

From the Globe and Mail and C D Howe institute. The number of temporary residents in Canada swelled to 2.8 million in the first quarter, underscoring the challenge facing a federal government that is looking to restrict migration to the country. Temporary residents – a group that includes...

Lane filtering is becoming a fact of (road) life now. While on the bike, a cabbie driving a van "filtered" past me - my fault, as I was maintaining lane safety (riding on the right side of the lane). While in a car, a guy on a Duc going down between two lanes to get to the front, unsafe as it...

Just got a Thinkware F200 Pro fitted for an all-inclusive $400, front and rear cams on a hardwired installation. Nothing fancy, just the essentials - good picture under day or night conditions - voltage sensor to save the vehicle battery - monitoring during "park" - heat sensor, to save the cam...

Was there last year, enjoyed checking out the vintage and classic bikes. The exhibitors were willing to chat and answer questions. Some would even start up their bikes just so you could experience the sound of a motor from bygone times.

Thanx for sharing the pix [emoji106]

The sale of that car was a mistake for me to, especially since I had the overlay of the Audi program on the CPU and a stage 1 chip by Pfaff and a tuned exhaust. It was a Q-ship!
