To be fair, TFD and EMS do one helluva job and not just in their primary functions. First on any scene is usually TFD, and would YOU honestly want to be an EMS ? Incredibly high rate of suicide from being on the job - scraping people up off the pavement or out of burnt down houses will do that...

My buddy finally had visit from an MOT guy today at his repair shop to explain the ins and outs of motorcycle safeties. Yes, it will be more complicated (and expensive) than it has been, but nothing like what the car, truck and heavy vehicle guys are facing. More details to follow when I have...

Uh, where's the rest of it ...

To be fair - steering head bearings, swingarm bearings (bushings), brakes, forks and the like still have to be inspected, but it shouldn't take 2 guys with a camera and a tablet to do it. It's utter and complete b.s.

FYI - I was talking to my local independent auto repair shop. They've been doing the new safeties since June and say it was expensive to set up and a total PITA but they really didn't have any choice. I didn't ask how much they have to charge now, but I'm certain it went up significantly.

A lot of the MotoGP money comes from Red Bull. It would be interesting to find out how much.

That's because motorcycles are lumped in with other 'light vehicles'. Yes, the cost (and time) will likely double or triple. Dirty or sloppy safeties will still be out there, people always find a way to work around just like they did with Clean Air. IMO, the provincial government, specifically...

With heavy trucks isn't that what the MOT is supposed to do ? How many times have you driven past one of those stations on the highway and it's closed. All commercial vehicles are supposed to have an annual inspection and get the yellow sticker, what that has to do with smaller private vehicles...

Apparently yes.

Lots of questions and so far no answers from the gov.

For personal vehicles (cars, light duty trucks, motorcycles) there needs to be some serious clarification and soon. If it's just a matter of going paperless, no big deal but if it means buying a ton of useless equipment and doubling or tripling the time (and cost) required to perform the...

Highway 11 was a mess today just south of Gravenhurst. It's not a matter of days, it's here. :confused::confused::confused:

I'm sorry I mentioned it...

Lots of people do already and don't even know it.

If I were CF-Moto or Bajaj I'd be waiting to see how this all plays out. If KTM goes for a complete dump either of those players would likely be able to pick the company up from the receivers for ten cents on the dollar.

There's Brembo and there's BREMBO. I don't know if it's still true but at one point Suzuki was using the $1.98 Brembo front brake master cylinders on Gixxers instead of spending the extra dough for the good stuff. Yes, there is a difference. At least brand it ByBre or J-Juan.

Maybe it's time to start a Stupidly overpriced motorcycle accessory page ? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/526138059919058/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks

Dear seller: pump the tires up, drag it out of the garage and wash it.

What's your time worth ?
