As everyone has been saying, inspections are key. If it was me, I'd make sure to have a professional inspection of the septic system and a flow test of the well before making an offer. When you visit this weekend make sure to walk around the back yard looking and feeling for soft spots or...

I was with Rogers years ago. Got tired of the annual retention calls required to keep the rate from being completely extortionate so I switched to Teksavvy. I was with them for a decade but this past winter they increased the rate by yet another $2-3/month without offering any improvements to...

There are lots of shops that fit in between the hobbyists and $$$ fab shops. When we have a small one-off job at work we use a local shop called Nel-tek in Ajax. Nel-Tek custom fabrication. There are lots of small shops like his all over the GTA. A month back I had him repair a broken engine...

CTXP did a video using the Ryker Rally (looks to be virtually the same machine). Worked great on smooth-ish dirt roads and in the sand. Not so great on washed out trails.

Just out of curiosity, do you pay extra at the campground if you're going to be charging your EV from the site power pole? 50kwh is a whole lot more juice than your typical camper would use over a couple of days. I'd hate to see campgrounds increasing their already high rates to cover the cost...

I notice that nobody answered your question. The thermo-bob is simply a bolt on device that adds a thermostatically controlled coolant bypass to the KLR. With the stock setup, the coolant is always flowing through the radiator. When you're riding around on a cool day the coolant temp is very...

I've had mine for 12 years and 85,000km. I spent most of the winter looking at new bikes to replace my KLR but in the end I couldn't find another bike that does everything the KLR does so instead I spent $3k on new suspension, a 685 kit to solve a minor oil burning issue and a few more farkles...

Had a cold at the beginning of February. Nasty one, but just a cold. Most of the symptoms went away after a week but I've had congestion and the constant need to clear my throat since family day. The doctor told me that the cold virus this year is hanging on for longer than usual and symptoms...

Good news! I just got the Christmas present that my brother sent from Belgium on November 20th! Great job as always CP.

I haven't seen any difference between X and O ring chains on my KLR. Just buy a good quality chain from one of the major brands, set the tension properly and ride. I used to lube chains, then I decided to try not lubing after I installed a fresh one. I got about 19,000km on the lubed chains...

3 hours from Toronto to Montreal. That's actually pretty good. Oh, but since I live in Whitby first I have to take a 20 minute bus ride to the GO station then take the GO train from Whitby to Union Station. That adds about 90 minutes, if the bus and the GO are on time. Then when I get to...

I went to Nfld on the bike back in 2018. Ferry to St. John's then rode around to Gros Morne (got a cabin for the long route but not the shorter return trip). It was beautiful, but not amazing from a riding point of view. There aren't many smaller through roads. Across the majority of the...

Pretty sure the accessible washroom thing has absolutely nothing to do with DriveOn. Having an accessible washroom is simply a requirement when running any business in Ontario. Technically, a one man shop run out of a home garage is required to comply with the Accessibility for Ontarians with...

Does the IIHS test rear impacts on North American cars? I can't find any info on rear impact testing for the Rogue. If I was in the market for a kiddie hauling small SUV, I think I'd cross the Rogue off my list after seeing those pics...

If you're just flushing, use a stick to put pressure on the brake pedal and crack the bleeder. Let some fluid flow out and then tighten the bleeder. Re-fill the reservoir and reset your pedal stick before moving to the next wheel.

Dark and stormy night outside Winnipeg on my way out west and I hit a massive puddle that darn near made me crash. The bike (a 1997 Honda Goldwing 1500) started running like crap but I got it to a campground about 30 minutes from the city. I parked and went over to the office to self check-in...

No manufacturer is making the bike that you want. You have to make your own. Just get a KLR (or similar) and mod the heck out of it to make it what you want. Touring: hard luggage + windscreen + seat cushion = all day comfort. ADV and mild off road: soft bags + smaller windscreen + knobbies...

Every year I send a Christmas parcel to my brother at NATO HQ in Belgium using the Canadian Forces PO system. The Forces ship for free from CFB Trenton, so the only cost is getting the parcel from here to the CP-CF handoff point in Belleville. I've always used CP to ship the parcel to...

Those 2 idiots basically shut down traffic in Durham Region on Tuesday and caused tens of thousands of dollars in damages. It took me over an hour to cover 5km from Lakeridge to Brock St. I witnessed 3 minor rear end collisions near me as we were all creeping along and at one point Google maps...
