    No charges warranted in fatal motorcycle crash involving Toronto police cruiser: SIU

    There is a convenient way to get onto Southbound University from College. You turn North onto Queen's Park then turn around the island. The little double left lane way exists for no other purpose. And the SIU's track record speaks for itself.

    Help me settle something

    I don't think it's bad form if someone eats all of one cut of the wing. Pair yourself up with someone who prefers the one that you don't like. I prefer the flats to the drumettes every day of the week. I think it's more of a problem when your platter comes in anything but a 50/50 even distribution.

    Just to put things in perspective (Opinion)

    I like your choice of bike, @bitzz and @Priller . I only knew 4 other Hawk GT owners in the GTA. I use to live in Toronto and rode my 1989 daily. It had over 120,000 kms on it when someone smashed it when they were coming out of a parking lot. I currently have a few '88s and my daily ride '91...

    Side note: is your battery tender lead fused?

    Thoughts and opinions on LED turn signals

    You could always install the resistors in the tail instead of the headlight. But the answer to your real question is, "no, you won't need them with a different flasher." You could add more resistors instead of a new relay, also. And they don't really get hot.

    Wiring relay question

    I didn't say to run it without a fuse. And it depends on your particular bike but an easy example is to hook up (since we're talking about these), heated grips to something like the gauge illumination circuit. If there is a fault with the heaters then that fuse will pop and you will only lose...

    Wiring relay question

    The ground for the relay really isn't that big of a deal. It's just activating a tiny electromagnetic coil to pull the contacts. Put it some place convenient. Putting too many connectors at your battery makes servicing the battery needlessly difficult. It can also interfere with the battery...

    History of the Ducati Monster

    Hawk GTs in good shape sell for more than they did new. The CBR that was just a few dollars more didn't age as well. When I stopped riding 2-strokes and was looking for something new, I almost put money down on the then new Monster at a (now gone Ducati dealer -- maybe Rev Cycles?). Then I...

    Ballistic BMS Charger

    If the battery is below a certain voltage chances are it's pooched. The BMS won't even touch it if it is below the threshold, but you can turn the charger to lead-acid mode and charge it past the minimum V, then switch back to Li-Fe. The BMS is a good charger, BUT it's actually an IMAX B6...

    Got rear ended on the 401 yesterday....

    Can you? Once they declare it a total loss, I don't think you CAN get it back.

    FF versus 3/4 Helmets

    Something you might not realize, until you witness it yourself is: if you fall and slide on your back feet first, your helmet, (without a chin bar,) may roll forward and pop off your head. Where the chin bar of a fullface helmet will stop its rotation when it hits your chest. You can finish...

    Const. James Forcillo shot Sammy Yatim - the trial

    More triggers, different triggers, more or less powerful triggers. More devices with triggers doesn't fit into my idea of de-escaltation. Trigger culture: When the only tool is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail. What about when the only tools have triggers and cross-hairs? I...

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Kinda off topic, but this has been everywhere. All I've heard from the friends I have who look like that cop (mid thirties, white males, similar beards) is that if they stopped to help a kid build a snowman for the very same reasons (liking kids, liking play, liking snow) Cops would have been...

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Unfortunately, it's always the case that when you see an 'us and them' situation, it's too late. :sad1: Humanity is supposed to be one team. I don't think police see it that way -- and when you question them about it, all you get are explanations, rationalizations and assertions that 'we'...

    If no dislosure is recieved can I be reimbursed costs to attend a trial?

    Oh it can. They (JP and prostitutor) will use your lack of knowledge (or confidence in that knowledge) of the system against you. In trial, they will ask you about your disclosure requests and phrase them in double-negatives in such a way to get you to utter the word "yes." They will then use...

    Valve cover bolt leaking

    If you use a clicker type torque wrench, don't get fooled by the torque setting. A wrench that has a maximum setting of 100 or 120 ft.lbs is NOT going to be anywhere near accurate at 10 ft.lbs. Whenever you use a device like this, it's going to be the most accurate in the upper 2/3 of its...
