I've got one, but it's never gotten much use and it's not the first thing I think of grabbing for some reason. Maybe I should load it up with a metal cutting wheel and store it closer to hand and see how that goes.

Does anyone have a favorite reasonably compact cutting tool that they'd recommend? Not for something as big as the OP's hitch extension thing, but 1.5 inch angle iron, 1/8" or 1/4" flat steel or aluminum stock, threaded rod, etc. I've already bought into the Milwaukee M12 system and the M12...

I haven't used eBay in quite a while, but I bought some used wheels from a seller in the States and tried the new "eBay International Shipping" option. Allegedly it's easier for both buyers and sellers. Buyers know up front at the time of purchase what the duties and taxes will be, and sellers...

The Triumph website has a 'request a test ride' form that basically just lists every dealer in Canada. My wife is looking to buy and has called around to multiple Triumph dealers (including GP Bikes) and none is willing to do test rides. She's got her full M and is an experienced rider. Any of...

Saw this while skimming through Kijiji: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-dirt-bikes-motocross/oakville-halton-region/wanted:-buying-your-running-or-not-running-bike-416-919-4765/1563228103

You can register your events with Trackdays.fyi - Find Trackdays Near You if you want some extra exposure. I see they've already been added to Motorcycle Track Days in Ontario, Quebec and Canada

I'm not sure if I ever played Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe, but I played a LOT of Red Baron

Did some some digging, but the details are a bit vague: Aerial Speed Enforcement Upgrades I also stumbled across the official list of every speed camera in Ontario (except for Ottawa, which is on a linked page) and whether they're currently active: Automated Speed Enforcement - Certificate of...

For some type of knowledge workers, the amount of time spent with your butt in an office chair and exactly when you spend it is not strongly correlated with productive output. Inspiration and productivity rarely comes from an hour of work sandwiched between two pointless status meetings, but it...

Got the track bike put back together. The fairing repairs and paint came out better than I wanted, because every time I make the fairings too nice I crash the damn thing. It'll be covered in bugs soon enough, but maybe I'll go rub a handful of gravel on it first.

You'll get at least $1000 below market value if you sell to a dealer. I've done it before, just to avoid dealing with the public.

Your bike is too clean. I keep mine a little bit dirty so that fluid leaks show up better in the dust :p

I fiberglassed up some damage in my track fairings last fall and then put everything away for the winter, intending to finish them when things got warm in the spring. Of course I procrastinated on that, so now I'm rushing to get things ready. Trying my hand at Bondo for the first time:

A story from Jonathan Rea about how to check mystery fluids under your bike:

Most search engines allow you to restrict your search to only show you results that existed prior to 2023, which is one fascinating social response to filter out AI junk articles. Search engines could potentially provide ways to explicitly filter out AI junk, but the cynic in me thinks that they...

Here's an extraordinarily long and detailed dive into what LLMs are doing. The most easily digestible stuff is at the top: What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work? So they're effectively like a toddler, stringing together random words based on sounds they have heard other people make...

Maverick Vinales had a spectacular crash due to brake failure a few years ago after the team decided to run something other than the recommended rotors at the Red Bull Ring: Yamaha’s Red Bull Ring braking disaster explained

There's some good reading on live robo-taxis if you search "Waymo" or "Cruise taxi". San Francisco has/had some pilot programs, and apparently Texas cities are prohibited from regulating autonomous vehicles due to a state law. A gaggle of Cruise taxis stop in the middle of the city, blocking...

I saw a social media post of someone who had it happen to them. They said they just stepped on the brake, which automatically cuts the throttle regardless of the throttle pedal position. I think this might be a mandated feature on all passenger vehicles now. My econobox does it, which is kind of...

I meant the guy standing behind his vehicle looking down at his phone in the middle of the 401. :oops:
