My profile pic of Canadian flag is a signal to have elbows up and support Canada. As much as I want to support Canadian assembled vehicles, asking a Honda dealer to order a middle trim hybrid CRV is welcomed with we have this higher trim model in stock for only a few dollars more a month and...

Test drove a Sportage PHEV top trim. Some of the gizmos are impressive with camera displaying blind spot and eagle eye 360 view when backing up. I know it’s not exclusive to EV. Cooled seats was also impressive on a day like today. Overall, nice machine for a Korean marquee. Best finance...

I’m very nostalgic towards several bikes I’ve never owned. Their sound, their look etc. Gary’s CB1 is one. lol. Hawk GT is another from the same era. The Magna and Sabre V65 prior to that. Suzuki Katana 1100 from back in the day and of course the GSXR. Kawi’s from the 80s and early 90s...

Is there a chamber of commerce near you? They often have regular meetings, lunch and learn to meet with business owners, leaders etc. Just being curious is a valued asset and developing a network with local business contacts and community leaders can bear opportunities. At least get a...

I don’t like to compare one area of importance over another. Men’s mental health and overall health doesn’t get the same exposure as Pride month for sure. To address men’s mental health, one of the main reasons I ride a motorcycle. In general men like things. We can spend hours looking at...

A nice website to provide some listing details you won’t find on realtor.ca is HouseSigma It’s not 100% but, often has previous listings for the same residence to show the evolution of the property. If it was a flip, you can see purchase price, pics at time of listing and current listing. As...

If it was easy, everyone would do it. Running a business isn’t for the faint of heart. I’m sure when the franchise agreement was up for renewal, the financials were reviewed and there was a discussion between the owners and corporate. I’m sure there was some dumb spending on the owners part...

Currently looking into PHEV hybrid SUV. Wife doesn’t like low belt line of a car so, it will likely be SUV. Toyota pricing and availability makes it a low contender even considering high resell and reliability reputation. Ford has 0% financing promo and looking into the Outlander. Not...

Took The Red Barron out for a scoot along the parkway before taking a European Vacation. Really enjoy smooth, quiet and powerful. Handles great when in motion. Maneuvers around the garage and parking lot takes some patience and planning. Looking forward to putting longer rides in this...

I was thinking for those out of towers from the GTA or myself (Niagara) that make the trip. 😉 Even the locals don’t mind a stop in for a cold one and some music at The Cove. Food is pretty good too!

That is the typical rational and it’s valid. Really enjoyed my Ninja 500. Dated looks but, good all rounder.

Have family in Westport and it’s a great place to hang. Always in the cage when we go and always tell myself I need to ride up there. Truth be told, the family likes to party and my liver takes a beating so, if I go on the bike, I have to make sure they left town before I arrive. The roads...

Many of us are searching for the perfect bike. The all rounder that is easy to move around the garage, jump on anytime and go any where. Those smaller bikes are perfect for 95% of that. If you need to get across the GTA or travel somewhere, a cage is probably better suited to wear the...

GWS MacDoc! Glad you got the medical support to catch it and get you back on the mend.

Wonder if there are any developments from August of last year until now? Still riding the 300 or moved to the SV?

Found working on my cardio helps with strength training and recovery. Also, lots of post work out stretching/yoga. And definitely avoid taking on too much weight to power through. Start light and when my reps are easy for 12/14 reps, I move up another 10 lbs. avoid jumping up 20 or more...

Meh! It’s a sign of getting older! We complain about the cold and rain. Next month there will be chirping it’s too hot and seeing too many squids! I can gear up for cold and (some rain). Riding in an oven with or without gear isn’t fun at all.

Have you set up your preferences in indeed? I’m seeing a few postings for project management, account management and government positions in various roles, areas.

I gotta say the up front cost of any new car (ice or ev) is discouraging. And used ev can also be either high cost or battery degradation concerns. They maybe unfounded but, still lingers when considering something different from the usual. Our auto repair shop that handles our oil changes...

Agreed! A sharp insurance adjuster can deny a claim very easy. And most times folks get away with it until something happens and test the logic and rational.
