    Does the car you drive...

    At the end of the day it does represent a choice. Trucks can be an odd segment, because the "small" market is underserved, being unattractive for manufacturers to actually make them. It's not "exciting" but people want them exactly for what they are - utilitarian, reliable. You got what they...

    e-sim recommendation

    Companies like Airalo negotiate deals with various existing carriers. I'm not sure what term applies for them, MVNO doesn't seem appropriate, but it would make sense to me that the deals would be for a limited amount of licenses and that they would have to re-up their agreements continually. The...

    Motor Vehicle Fitness Certificates

    Right, I was just thinking about another layer. To "help" Parsons, since they had trouble meeting demand for the first rollout.

    Motor Vehicle Fitness Certificates

    If this was rolled out January 2025 that would be an unprecedented success by the Ontario government. Although if I put my cynical hat on for a moment, Doug has established a pattern with "allying" with large private franchises to make things appear successful. Imagine say, all Canadian Tires...

    I presume you mean travel eSIM, i.e. you are not looking for a new domestic cellular provider?

    Ticket for Plate Not Plainly Visible

    I once got a ticket for something or other (expired reg? out of date address on license?) and somebody advised me to get the problem fixed immediately, then schedule a first appearance with the prosecutor and give them the paperwork showing I took prompt action. I did this (prosecutor was a...

    The vatican has dove head first into the naughts and launched an AI mascot.

    The mascot has nothing to do with AI. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/260129/meet-luce-the-vatican-s-cartoon-mascot-for-jubilee-2025

    New DRZ-4S and DRZ-4SM

    The benefit would be to not roll down the highway at 7000RPM

    New DRZ-4S and DRZ-4SM

    I saw this yesterday and was actually excited that I could stop using the 24 year old DR-Z400 as a punchline. I immediately got distracted by other things though I think "newish" is underselling it a little. New frame & suspension on top of the fuel injection and dashboard. It has ABS! ... but...

    F1 Thread!!!

    Hamilton and Alonso were both miserable due to the rough surface at Interlagos. It was a *little* funny that he got passed by both Colapinto and Bearman, but then Colapinto crashed and Bearman kept going off. Also funny was Norris being extremely salty about Verstappen's win. Verstappen's...

    GoPro in trouble ?

    26% is supposedly 240 employees. I would link a source for this but the internet is being a nearly unusable ad saturated mess for me on mobile today. I always thought the frequency that GoPro released "new" products was unsustainable, but their marketing has been incredible for the whole time...

    V2 reimagined as Ducati's new 890cc V-twin motor is the lightest to ever leave the Bologna factory

    I'm not super read into Ducatis, but isn't the variable valve timing new? For their "small" engine at least. I know that they had it on the "big" Testastretta in 2014

    Rant: pulled out of my M test

    I vaguely remember that you had to slew your head around in a comically exaggerated fashion in order to not get dinged for not checking for hazards. But man, that form looks pretty much exactly the same as I remember it

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    It's not a bad custom trike. Seller could reel in some extra contemporary audience by calling it a Space Marine themed bike

    Red light camera ticket for turning right

    I just want to point out that dashcams that have GPS modules have the possibility of having GPS synchronized time. My Viofo A119 clone does this - furthermore, you can enable this without enabling other GPS functions that would record your speed (either directly or indirectly). As to this being...

    Wanna buy a CBX ?

    I look at this picture, at first confused by a two post lift inside a building with a drop ceiling and what I thought was a carpeted floor, but maybe it's something else But then I started wondering, are there any CBR600F2s left alive in the wild? Or were they all hunted to extinction by...

    Rising prices/labour

    The 11k interval is for copper plugs (CR8E) and the the 22k interval is also for copper plugs (LMAR8A-9) on later bikes. It looks like nobody makes an iridium plug yet for the later bikes
