    Appliance Repair

    The two most common problems with old dryers are the door switch (they’re cheaply made) and the thermal overload which stops your dryer from bursting into flames when the lint trap or duct is blocked. Both are $10-$20 parts.

    Bikes with character...

    A ‘73 like the one in that documentary sold for $25,000 US last year at the Mecum bike auction in Las Vegas. Apparently a record price for that bike.

    #$%@ GP Bikes just made my life harder

    Oh it had the rich Corinthian Leather alright.Despite popular belief, it was not actually from Corinthia , wherever that is. The leather used in the Cordoba was from New Jersey, some marketing guy came up with the whole Corinthian Leather thing. Mine had the aforementioned Corinthian Leather...

    Appliance Repair

    I went through all that with my step kids. I was constantly fixing appliances. Don’t know how many times I had to fix the rollers on the upper rack on our Kitchen Aid dishwasher. They would jam anything that would fit into it, oversized cutting boards, cookie sheets, you name it. I was replacing...

    #$%@ GP Bikes just made my life harder

    Does anyone know a good body shop that can buff this out? There’s also a broken stud on the front passenger side wheel that I need to remove, I was thinking of using an EZ Out. The yellow paint on the right front fender is from the fire hydrant. That would also have to get touched up.

    What Are You Currently Listening To?

    Saw these guys in Toronto last year. Probably the best live performance I’ve ever seen and I’ve been to a lot of shows. They absolutely rocked the place.

    #$%@ GP Bikes just made my life harder

    My Cordoba met it’s end on a cold Scarberian night in 1984. It tore a fire hydrant out of the ground and slammed into a telephone pole before coming to a stop in a smoking pile of rubble (pictures to follow). The driver was thrown clear, so clear in fact that he was never found. There were no...

    I had a 1975 Córdoba with Corinthian leather bucket seats. It was a piece of crap but man those bucket seats were nice.

    Covid Vacs

    My partner has had 5 shots, I’ve had none. By the time the vaccine was available I had already had Covid and chose not to get the vaccine. We’ve both had Covid 3 times that we know of. Her bouts were slightly less severe, not by much though.

    Covid Vacs

    Yes I agree with some of that but at the risk sounding like a conspiracy guy, the CIA would not make a statement like that lightly and they have access to information you and I could never imagine. There will never be a smoking gun unfortunately, China will make sure of that.

    Covid Vacs

    Your right, there is no proof and there never will be. China has been less than forthcoming about anything relating to the virus and it’s origins. No amount of evidence is going to convince someone that still believes in the wet market theory rather than open their mind to the possibility of a...

    Covid Vacs

    Let me rephrase that, I think that the general consensus is that the Covid 19 virus more likely than not came from a lab. If you know something that the CIA doesn’t, I hope you take the time to share it with them. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd9qjjj4zy5o...

    Covid Vacs

    The whole wet market thing was a distraction, I think the general consensus among the scientific community is that Covid was created in a lab.

    Everybody Give Me Wrong Battery, Even When I Give Them My Ownership

    Kinda like in the 70’s when you would go to buy brake shoes at Canadian Tire. The kid behind counter would look on the microfiche and ask a million questions, the last one always being “Does it have air conditioning?”. WTF does that have to do with brake shoes.

    Lead acid vs AGM life expectancy

    I consistently get 6-7 years out of the original batteries in my new bikes provided I keep a Battery Tender on it over the winter. They have always been made in Japan Yuasa’s. The replacement Yuasa batteries you get here are made in USA and I only seem to get about 4 years out of those. As for...

    What is your Budget for a Bargain Find?

    My buddies wife had a BMW, he called it the Bavarian Manure Wagon. Nice bike, those older BMW’s have a lot of character and seem to be a real bargain. The older RT’s make a great everyday rider.

    #$%@ GP Bikes just made my life harder

    There’s a guy that mechanics use in the GTA whose specialty is removing broken bolts and thread repair on site. I was getting my Mercedes Sprinter worked on in Scarborough and my mechanic broke a bolt off in the head in a really bad spot. He picked up the phone, the guy showed up within the hour...

    Yamaha RD 350

    Your right about bike thieves being like horse thieves. I had a bike stolen so I know what it’s like. Karma caught up to Nick. He stole bikes to support his worsening cocaine habit, he dropped dead at the age of 24 of heart failure. The only silver lining in this story is that Nick’s program...
