    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    I thought they didn't cover motorized vehicles. I checked my policy and it doesn't seem to mention either way. Link is for sample policy endorsements. My umbrella policy talks about boats, off-road, RV's and rental cars but doesn't mention unlisted motor vehicles...

    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    Electric bike hit a 3 yo kid in New Tec today. Kid got a helicopter ride. I assume bike rider won't be so happy about having no insurance very shortly. Hopefully the kid recovers well. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/14KWEAUQEBV/

    And they are giving it away for free.

    Dainese sold to .... Blackrock?

    Weird. Link sort of works for me but goes to "page not found". From searching with google, the largest creditor (Carlyle Group) was owed $300M and threw in another $1 to buy Dainese. Blackrock considered swallowing CG in the past but chose not to.

    Maybe. Lots of municipalities theoretically have scanner apps but they are dead after recent lockdown. I havent tried listening to waterloo.

    900,000 students coming in…

    That's what happens when education operates as a profit centre first. Presidents are hired based on their connections and ability to raise money first and commitment to education as a tiebreaker.

    Anyone here a cyclist?

    I was hoping they would use the ditch to jump the peleton. Probably get you arrested but would make for an epic story.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    What's the plan for it? Trackside leather repairs as a retirement job?

    Anyone here a cyclist?

    Chinese parts bin components. No idea on weight (heavy bikes suck to ride). You can go into a physical store and touch one though so that's a major plus.

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    $3700 for a CBR125? That's a new high bar for stupidity. The paint job reduces the value, it doesn't add thousands.

    What's your most neglected maintenance item on your motorcycle?

    It can't be sealed. That would put the reservoir under vacuum. They could make them lightly pressurized with nitrogen to allow reservoir level to drop without introducing moisture but I don't know of any vehicle that goes to that effort. Changing fluid is cheaper than a pressurized reservoir and...

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    Maybe. Or spotters, or were cruising for crashes or have an informant on the inside or . . . Tons of reasons they could have been there. I have heard it is possible to decode the OPP radios with two SDR's running and some software/hardware doing math. I haven't personally seen a working setup...

    Speed camera update (Sept.11)

    Parkside camera is still missing. Another trip completed without seeing a single pedestrian on parkside drive. I think they should paint Helen Lovejoy on all speed cameras. That is about the appropriate level of fear-mongering used to justify their fundraising efforts.

    Broke bolt extractor - what to do?

    There is no reason to make the guide stainless. Make your life easier and use a crap mild steel bolt as the guide. Coat with oil and it will be good for your entire life.

    Tow truck drivers behaving like tow truck drivers and the police finally had enough and handed out 21 tickets to share. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/tow-truck-drivers-charged-fight-near-cambridge-crash-1.7593841

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I don't think it was all models. One model specifically had a do not charge, do not park inside order. It lasted for months as they had no fix. I can't remember which model (or if it was polestar or volvo). IIRC it was small and curvy and red. Any pics I can find now are all SUV's for volvo.

    What's your most neglected maintenance item on your motorcycle?

    And if you have added fluid with the worn pads, you should be sucking some out to avoid the reservoir puking. This may keep the bad fluid in the calipers though as they don't stroke down to zero volume (and the hose holds some crap fluid too). On a past car, I would alternate between blue brake...

    What's your most neglected maintenance item on your motorcycle?

    I like tools but $25 buys a lot of brake fluid and ime, the worst fluid is in the calipers where you can't easily test it. Flushing purges the gross fluid quickly. For bikes that spend most of their time sitting (eg for people with many bikes), the reservoir may have the worst fluid and a quick...
