    What did you do in your garage today..?

    I feel a big help is using one of those along with (I don't what they're called) those punch screwdrivers that turn when you hit them. Whatever they're called I'm going to order one for when it's needed (thankfully not needed......yet).

    Daily sports car?

    Friend of mine used to have one of the true Mini's. He took me out in it a few times but we're both in the 230lb region so it was a bit of a clown car experience. Fun though.

    TV shows currently watching

    Anyone But You - I didn't know what Sydney Sweeney looked like before this movie but it's basically 1.5hrs of Sydney's (and other girls) boobs in various state of undress. Good rom-com if that's what you want.

    2025 Day Trips!

    I've always found Ardoch Road colours turn a bit sooner than other places. Maybe it's the type of tree's with all the silver and reds but I love that road in the Fall.

    Came through NB yesterday and the colours there are excellent now.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I have never driven an EV but I’m curious on peoples thoughts about EV sports cars. Obviously the acceleration is there but I wonder if the character and driving enjoyment would be as well. I’ve had a few sports cars and will likely buy another but I wonder if a nicely powered sportscar EV that...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Cleaning out some property in NS also meant stopping in for a mandatory dram. I’ve been here many times over the years.

    New Ducati Hypermotard V2

    Power/performance is so great now that having more of it isn’t worth paying new prices for as it can’t be used by 99% of the buyers. Sure there’s bragging rights in owning it but that fades as you get older/wiser (and maybe grumpier?). Bikes and cars need something to intrigue new buyers and...

    Pickup Trucks

    2000km drive to eastern Canada averaged 11.2L/100km in the F150. Was in the 10’s but the big hills and construction in NB/NS dropped it and I wasn’t driving very fuel efficiently either. Even more comfy than doing it in our Odyssey. Pretty good mileage imo especially with the more aggressive...

    Thoughts on the Honda NT1100....

    I haven't ridden the NT but I have ridden the AT version. The motor gets the job done but the owner of that bike lusts after my KTM 1290R in comparison and wishes he could have gotten it instead. Others will say the 1100 has "Plenty of pep for me!". I don't know you but if you're one to ask if...

    Thoughts on the Honda NT1100....

    It would be worth checking to see if GP Bikes is going to get one in.

    Pickup Trucks

    I drove them all when I ordered my truck. The Sierra was my second choice and what I really didn't like about it was not the fact that their was quite a few lifter failures (I joined a few truck forums and it wasn't just an internet rumour of the issue) but that the lifters were in such short...

    Pickup Trucks

    Indeed. I was getting gas recently and the guy across from me filling up his new 25 Sierra AT4 said “Good job choosing the Ford. This piece of **** blew the bottom out of the engine in month 3. Can’t wait to get rid of the piece of ****”. Some people say they’ll never buy another Ram, others...

    Pickup Trucks

    At least make it apples to apples. Our Odyssey has the identical engine bay. No turbo's, no hybrid system, and big plastic covers so you can't get at anything until you remove them (annoying). My 24 F150 engine bay has no covers, two turbos, and clean wiring. Easy to access everything. The...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    I built this generator sound box this morning using spare wood I had laying around. The top is angled to allow snow/rain to run off, sound waves to be directed away, and heat to escape easier. It is also the correct size to fit nearby under a deck out of sight to store when not needed. I plan...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Not always. We used Krown for the wife's Odyssey last year and it dripped on the garage floor for days. 25min drive home from Krown, parked in garage, wiped up floor the next day, wife ran errands in van and came back and there were more puddles the following day. I'm guessing it was sprayed in...

    What's the weakest link in stopping you from riding longer?

    Very interesting. I have zero cartilage left in both of my knees as they were MRI'd 14yrs ago. Specialist said my leg muscles are holding the joints adequately and it wasn't time for surgery at my age but made a suggestion of some type of fluid injection that was ~$700 per knee which would last...

    What's the weakest link in stopping you from riding longer?

    I usually take off for the day when I go riding and I'll cover 600-1000km in the day depending on how much dirt exploring I do. I usually end up stopping about every 2hrs either for food/drink/pee. If it's just to pee I'll just scope a quick roadside spot and leave the bike running then be off...
