Cool! Just got the eSim installed on my phone and my wife's. I turned off data switching because we're only given 500MB of data, so that could get chewed up quite quickly. Will only use it for text and emergency calls. We're doing a ride in the bush tomorrow where we know there's 0 service...

Good info. I've only bought stuff from them online and picked up a tire from them last summer. Went in and shot the shiite with them, seemed like a good bunch of guys. The more data points, the better. (y)

Network Trivia: Timeouts then a successful response from a subsequent host just mean those intermediate routers have filtered out ICMP and won't respond to ping or traceroute requests. They're configured that way to protect against ICMP flood attacks. It's when you get timeouts and then an...

October 10th! Also... Hypermotard 950 SP. What! And Jeff Bridges in a Dainese robe! (I know it's not, really) It's like I'm totally the intended audience they are targeting... 🤣

Saw this question online, thought some of the responses were good - stuff that doesn't even pop up on my radar like spoke tension... Other good ones: fork seals, suspension, spark plugs. I'm on top of most regular maintenance like chain (tension and clean/lube), oil, air filter, tires (tread...

Two VERY different investment vehicles with VERY different risk profiles. Nobody looking at one would ever consider the other as a comparable alternative Like saying, "I don't care much for pure spring water. I like deep fried Mars bars."

Not accurate. Even if dealerships did a hard pull, several hard pulls within a short period of time only count as one inquiry, as each additional pull will not lower your credit score: https://www.experian.com/blogs/ask-experian/multiple-inquiries-when-shopping-for-an-car-loan/...

I just ran my own traceroute (was successful) and the bexxx.bhs-g2-nc5.qc.ca is the last hop before GTAM/Canspace hosting. Most likely Canspace's datacenter provider: OVH Hosting. I think there's some IP filtering that's happening at either the router or on the host itself at OVH or Canspace. I...

Was at a camp'n ride in the bush a few weeks ago. Far, far away from any cell towers, so no coverage. The organizer had a satellite Internet hotspot available for all the participants at basecamp. Not fast. Not cheap. But if all else falls through and you need connectivity, this may be your...

eBay to the rescue: AIM SOLO 2 MOUNT Check your fork diameter.

I'm pretty good at clutch-up wheelies to pop the front up over logs and rocks, and I can chase a power wheelie down as good as the next guy (who also chases power wheelies). Also, I've looped several wheelies while motoring up hill climbs, had to bench press the bike off my chest more than a few...

Last summer, Triple Clamp helped us source a tire when GP Bikes fell through. They also do tire changes, should call them up for pricing. They're at Dufferin and Finch: https://tripleclampmoto.ca/pages/contact

We roamed around Africa for a couple of years on our bikes and during that time booked a few safaris. Our first foray was a private game reserve in the Okavango Delta which they turned into a safari. Very lux. Cost five figures for two people for a week, but included flights out and back from...

The other side of that particular coin is risk = reward. The employee clocking in and out takes 0 risk. It's transactional. He gets paid for his time and gets to not worry about the business after clocking out. The employer is the one putting up the capital and risking losing his principal if...

The shops where I live are insulated from seasonal downturns by offering snowmobiles, snowbikes, jetskis, ATVs, etc. We live in a rural area with lots of lakes and mountains nearby, so the powersports business is doing well. I think the single-manufacturer shops like Harley Davidson may be...

Curious too. 100% safe investment to me is a HISA or Money Market. As of today, (apart from introductory/promotional teaser rates) they are hovering around 3%. Dividend aristocrats like Enbridge are paying out 6%. A 12% return would be phenomenal if it was truly conservative. My ears are open!

The topic is not about *where* dealerships make most of their profit margin on, but about *how stringent* the requirements for credit are at a dealership. OP's original question: My response is that banks are more stringent about enforcing credit-worthiness, because the loan in and of itself...

Awesome! Safe ride and post pics when you return!

Nice. Bakflip. Got one on the Taco. Has worked well for over 6 years now.
