They use to bill them selves as “The only band that really matters” and for a very short time they were. One of the most exciting, memorable performances I’ve ever seen.

He could also resite every scene from “Jaws” word for word, it played there for a long time too. He had a little trouble with the Japanese dialogue in “Tora,ToraTora” though.

My cousin was an usher at The Elane Theatre in Scarborough, “The Sting” played there for like 5 months straight. He knew every word of dialogue in that film.

If you know, you know.

You should consider getting an electric vest, you don’t even need one with sleeves, just the vest is fine. As long as you keep your core temperature warm your hands and feet should stay warm. I had one and it was a game changer. I could ride all day at 4-5 degrees Celsius. I rode 10 hours...

Rumour has it that the woman singing backup, Merry Clayton, was pregnant, she walked out of the studio and promptly had a miscarriage.

We had a name for Mustangs when we were kids in high school, we use to call them Rustangs. Cars were not built for our climate back then. You would be lucky to get 5 Toronto winters out of those cars in the ‘60’s and 70’s. Fortunately they were cheap relative to income back then.

This is another garage favourite. This was recorded on The Rolling Stones ‘69 US tour. They had lost founding member Brian Jones just months earlier. Nineteen year old guitar prodigy Mick Taylor steps in to take his place and the rest is history. The Rolling Stones are really starting to hit...

Insurance rates are all over the map and inconsistent. Here’s an example.My wife and I called TD Insurance to insure her 2007 Triumph Bonneville. She had completed her rider training course the year before,had her M1 and was renewing her insurance( bike in her name), virtually no experience.They...

It’s actually on a corner within 50 yards or less of 2 provincial highways, Highway 12 and Highway 7 which have traffic at all hours. I’m sure a few people saw what was happening. There’s also a 24 hour Tim Hortons maybe 100 yards away. It wasn’t exactly in middle of nowhere.

Yes, I’m sure I’ve heard of it happening before. The perpetrators obviously used a stolen getaway truck or stolen plates but there must be some kind of tracker in the ATM.

This is a couple of blocks away from my house in Brooklin at around 3AM this morning. Some guy stole an excavator and used it to remove an ATM from a Bank of Montreal, load it onto his truck and drove away. The front of the bank is totally destroyed.

You had me at Oktoberfest.

What a great song.

He’s a pretty cool guy if he also owns that CBX in the background.

Kaplan Cycle gets some killer vintage bikes for sale, some of the finest in the country. I think he’s in Massachusetts.

If you want to go faster for cheap focus on your riding skills. Your 600 with good tires will keep up to anything on public roadways. I had a friend that went to Freddie Spencer’s riding school in Las Vegas who was a pretty serious rider, he owned Oshawa Cycle Salvage.Middle aged, overweight...

Very nice, I think the UK got the red and white version if I’m not mistaken. There’s a guy in North Carolina that will do a GS1000S paint job if you provide the bodywork for just over $2000 US.

I remember in the early 80’s two guys going up Scarborough Golf Club Road at warp speed on a Magna V65 and T-boned a car , flipping it , killing the occupants as well as the rider and passenger.That incident sent shockwaves through the riding community and the police started to really crack down...

The fact that PeeWee Gleason weighed about 115 pounds didn’t hurt either. I was pretty fast in high school on my GS750 when I weighed 115 pounds but yeah those Magnas were pretty quick,I didn’t encounter many though.
