    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Subaru has $10k off and 0.5% financing on their EV. 359 kms max range per charge makes it a little more around towner. I’m frequently driving 400 kms trips and my stops don’t have ev charging. I’ve been looking. I’m keeping an open mind. I’ll likely have to update my panel if I go ev...

    Goodbye TSC

    I’m gonna miss them. Probably could have given them more business but didn’t make the effort for one reason or another. Which reminds me, I’m gonna stop by Lee Valley soon. They serve a different purpose than TSC/Peavy but, feel they are similar in terms of offering different items than you...

    Two Stroke?

    I tempted fate with a KX250 many times. Near death with the biggest smile on my face. Several times without a witness. So terrifying and exciting at the same time.

    Cruzing through the states! And maybe Mexico?

    Don’t ride like a hooligan and you should be ok. I’ve ridden the US and out of country plate and breaking the law will get you noticed pretty quick. Not sure about specific state law seizing your vehicle for a loud exhaust or other infraction but, I’m at the age law enforcement is generally...

    I’ve notice manufacturer rebates have increased and brought net pricing down.

    Normal car recommendation….

    They should be able to give you a decent ball park value for your trade in with the vin. They will run a carfax at their expense and give you a quote based on your feedback of condition. It’s not in ink so, it’s subject to change but gives you an idea before spending the time and fuel for the...

    Normal car recommendation….

    It’s been a long time since I purchased but, I do check out their stuff from time to time. If you see something you like, give them a call before heading down as they do move quite a bit of inventory and often the vehicle you are eyeballing was sold before they can update the website. But...

    Stealerships Stories... Got one?

    Our friend is 82 yo female with a 10 yo Cadillac SRX with 80k on the clock. Brought in for regular oil change. Service advisor recommended having the spark plugs changed out since they are getting old. They acknowledged they are well within spec mileage wise. Estimate north of a grand...

    My Harley is dumb and fun to ride... Just like your mom.

    I am your target audience. Subscribed! I’ve lusted for the V7 racer with chrome tank. Eye candy to the max! Pracality? Meh! Have you eyeballed anything British? Edit. Found some content related to Brit!

    latest on the new Safety Cert Drive On program...

    I’m familiar with a few small shops where its owner operated and they have another mechanic or two. When you have to tie up two resources for some elements of performing the safety, it’s a drag. Sure, you can charge the the client for the additional hours and out nothing in terms of labour...

    Apologies to the OP. We are all in agreement. I think I just read it incorrectly.

    Oh I get it! The number of shops performing them will definitely be less. For those that do, they are likely going to politely decline performing a safety by simply quoting the cost of doing it. Who wants to buy a cheap old bike that will cost hundreds of dollars and likely requires work...

    Why would the MTO know where to get a motorcycle certified? They process the registration and follow the requirements. Need a motorcycle certification, contact a shop that knows motorcycles.

    If You Could Turn Back Time

    Reflecting on the past can be a powerful motivator to your decisions in the present and future. I try to avoid regretting things I could have done or didn’t do. Spending too much time pondering the what ifs of the past only robs us of the time we can spend doing now or near future.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I review our transportation needs frequently and open to making changes that make sense. I like the idea of home charging and starting out with full range at the start of my day. The charging infrastructure is getting better although I’m not sure about the energy cost from one location over...

    LA Fires

    Trump doesn’t help himself calling the governor names and stating he is going to fix things. It’s divisive and makes the job harder on everyone dealing with the crisis. You can disagree with the way the state is run and even have an opinion on how things are mismanaged. But, gather the...

    LA Fires

    It’s a terrible tragedy. I don’t think there is a city in North America , let alone the world equipped to supply enough water from hydrants to fight the fires raging through the area. I do think the questions raised about habitat management and any changes to accommodate wildlife should be...
