The seal on mine went yesterday. I can't complain, I've had it about 10 years. Shouldn't be hard to get repaired.

Yup. Revin' the heck out of it did the trick. Uses a lot more fuel though, but so be it. Nicer not to have to scramble around in the snow.

Sadly I will have a chance to try it out this afternoon. Driveway's blown in. I'm running at the lower PTO mark. I'll raise the RPM this afternoon and see what happens.

Apparently it's supposed to be a bolt, but I'll do some research. The PTO shaft has 2 flat surfaces with a hole and the bolt hold them together. It's has been my experience that any play (smaller diameter bolt) means quick failure.

I keep breaking the shear bolt on the PTO of my tractor mounted snowblower. I have an idea what I'm doing wrong, but get only a slack-jawed, "I guess so." from the people behind the parts counter at 2 different ag. equipment dealers when I seek confirmation. The tractor is a mid-sized 2005 90hp...

Honestly, as someone who remembers the original R80GS, and the 1000 cc. variations I'd rather save some money and buy one of those. The R9T version pictured is just some tarted-up, budget version of BMW's twin. It truly is a street bike with a throwback paint job and seat cover suited primarily...

I think Triumph has nailed it with their 1200 models. The 900's are nice too. The Kawi is nice, but overshadowed by the Triumphs in my mind.

Actually the "Lakeshore line" is what they called the trackage they built in the early 1900's that goes through Pickering, North Whitby, Oshawa, Port Hope etc. nearer to the shore of Lake Ontario. The Original line through Peterborough, Havelock, to Ottawa was originally part of the Ontario &...

Back in the 90's governments allowed and pretty much encouraged the railways to abandon thousands of miles track as unprofitable or redundant. Very short sighted. We don't necessarily need high-speed trains, as there is no possible way we can build it for anywhere below astronomical and...

They're "planning" to use the old CPR right-of-way that goes through Prescott, Havelock, etc. and through Agincourt to Union.

10 billion? They've "budgeted" 3.9 Billion for planning alone. Then they want 5 YEARS of consultation before anything could happen. It's completely unfeasible, and a downright stupid idea, which isn't really surprising coming from the Peter Pan of Canadian politics. Idiot. As for the costs...

I thought this was the best version of the February show since it moved to the Ex. Lots of bikes, with great examples of the respective model lines from many of the manufacturers, though a couple were a bit sparse. All it was missing was a vintage bike display, though the VRRA was there and...

Says sold though. Old dirt bikes seem to hit a price floor and stay there. Obviously not $11k, but somebody figured it out.

It's certainly complicated, including MC stuff. Jack Daniels is made with 100% Canadian grain (rye) according to a bit I heard on the radio. Irish whiskey is aged in American-made barrels, that's what they told me at the Jameson distillery anyways. As someone who comes from an agricultural...

My wife and I went to NFLD last summer. We were hosted by friends for 2 weeks. My wife and her friend are avid hikers, and hiked numerous day trails throughout the island and did the long range traverse crossing in Gross Morne, a minimum 3 night, 4 day hike through inaccessible areas of the...

I was surprised how pretty Saskatchewan was. Definitely worth the trip.

How about out to the Gaspe, doing that loop then crossing the St. Lawrence at Riviere-du-Loop and make your way towards Ottawa, working northward. Then across northern Ontario, down through Manitoulin, cross on the ferry, stay on the shore south to Windsor, then along lake Erie shore to St...

This looks like a good deal, and an inexpensive way to try out a sidecar. The Yamaha is likely as reliable as a sledge hammer too. https://cvmg.ca/Motorcycles-For-Sale/13453469

You're correct that they're not going to put it on their lot with a safety from Moe's Garage, but I was thinking more about when you go to turn the leased car back to the dealer or even buy it out, and they say it needs X+Y+Z+A+B+C to be certified and you can say, "No, it really doesn't."

Just from my own experience, but it seems to me that their visibility/presence off road has declined. They're likely thinking they'd sell more 2 stroke dirt bikes than 4 strokes. I bet if they had kept producing the final model KDX220 they'd still be selling them, like Yamaha has done with the...
