    Motorcycle Lift from Princess Auto

    Ya that's what I want the height to work at a comfortably, instead of lying on the garage floor studying the oil and dirt patterns on the concrete. I think I'm gonna go with the one that has air on it, for $150 extra, I also like the colour and I've got a compressor that I use for other things...

    Latex Gloves to cut the wind off the knuckles....

    Not sure if this a well known practice already, but I was at Royal Distributing on the week-end talking to a sales rep about cold knuckle riding during this time and for the next month or so, he suggested using the garage latex gloves as they are more or less air or fluid proof.... (just like...

    HOT lanes coming to T.O....

    So as many of us predicted and some wishful thinking the HOV lanes are closer to turning into HOT ( high-occupancy toll) lanes. After they go over lessons learnt they will be heading our way. Tory hasn't committed to yet for the Toronto highways but I think he'll be on board sooner or later...

    Riding the Valley these days....hope the the City keeps the Don HOV lanes permanent..

    As I mentioned those who need to be downtown will always stay downtown, those that left...left many years ago and will never come back. I don`t see the London City UK becoming a Detroit after they introduced the tolls for Downtown, Detroit had problems unique to the other cities, it`s a whole...

    Riding the Valley these days....hope the the City keeps the Don HOV lanes permanent..

    Riding the Valley these days....has been awesome, from Bloor to 401 I've been doing it in under 10 min in rush hour thanks to the HOV lanes. I'm hoping the the City keeps the Don HOV lanes permanent. I've always thought this would make sense especially for rush hour if anything.
