Can't say for bikes, but for cars that is/was completely untrue. When I was 24 my car insurance was $161/month. As soon as I turned 25 it dropped to $59/month. And I mean it was the payment following my birthday. Not a little while later, right after I turned 25.

I don't think I am. Society in general has been moving in the right direction for a long time. Racism, mostly gone. Slavery, mostly gone. Gender inequality, mostly gone. Religious intolerance, mostly gone. Environmentalism, very active. Materialism, getting better (I believe). Historically...

Maybe I'm delusionally optimistic, but if AI makes everything far cheaper and people need to work less, then I'm hoping people will spend more energy trying to improve themselves than crap they bought/leased/financed. Bragging more on social media about books they read and actual ideas rather...

I bought my wife a set of Global knives when we were dating. She likes cooking, I'd rather starve than make a sandwich. I think they're still ok except for one that my daughter broke the tip off with a coconut. They get put in the dishwasher....often. We've had them for about 20 years now.

Ryobi here for a few years, would never look back. I bought it when they first came out so got a string trimmer and blower in the deal. I think it's fantastic that I no longer have to run out and start it when my wife or son are mowing the lawn. Just push a button and go. Even using the...

You're probably putting on way too much compound at once. Remember, it's easier to add compound than it is to remove it. Just like painting, multiple thin coats.

To add to the unreasonableness of this. If he was charged before becoming a cop, no force would hire him. But once a cop, you don't lose the job? So much horse$#!+ !

I'm with MadMike on this. Yes, you will learn something, but the course is aimed at getting you to pass a test. Advanced rider training is aimed at advancing your riding ability. If I had to choose between M2X course or a race school, I'd put the money down for race school. Which is...

Maybe mother nature is going through menopause?

Is that just Unionville? That 12 cars per day. Damn.

Assuming you're in the correct lane, why would anyone honk?

Hole of @$$. ;)

Are you guys seriously more concerned about a clerical error than the idea that it seems to be overshadowing? Also ignoring the fact that I've already acknowledged it. Geez. Post above edited. Great, so the limit is almost where it was 60 years ago (70mph/112km/h) when cars had: crappy...

I thought it was 120km/h, I don't drive through there often. Mea culpa. Regarding the speed camera in the school zone, there used to be one right around the corner from my house...and it was stupid. Thankfully it was vandalized a few times and removed. The reason it was stupid was that during...

I'm curious now, does anyone here drive the QEW and other 400 series highways often? If so, do you notice a speed difference given the fact that the QEW speed limit is 110km/h? My guess is the difference in average speed on both highways is less than the 10km/h speed limit difference. For...

I agree with literally everything you just posted. That doesn't mean that the speed limits are set accordingly. They are too low, and erratically enforced. Set the limit to 140km/h so most people aren't breaking the law all the time, raise the fines substantially, and enforce them strictly...

See, they're being educated at a bargain cost of $500. And I bet they now know the rule and will obey it. All jokes aside, just about every Canadian uses money on a daily basis and drives a car. Why aren't both of those a large part of the high-school curriculum? Instead of teaching useless...

Maybe once, until they scared themselves and dropped down to their comfort zone. And even that would be a small percentage of people. Most people, and by most I mean the vast majority aren't car/bike enthusiasts. Go to any track for any motorsport and you see the same handful of people every...

Some of you are failing to understand that introvert does not equal lonely. An introvert only speaks when they have something they feel worth saying. But, once they start talking, pull up a chair or your feet will get sore. We don't do small talk. Lonely is when you can't find someone to...

I solidly disagree with that. If they raised the limit to 180km/h, do you think the average person would start doing 200km/h? Everyone drives at the speed they feel most comfortable at (which is directly proportional to how far ahead they look while driving). I actually think accidents would...
