Does anyone know a good body shop that can buff this out? There’s also a broken stud on the front passenger side wheel that I need to remove, I was thinking of using an EZ Out. The yellow paint on the right front fender is from the fire hydrant. That would also have to get touched up.

Saw these guys in Toronto last year. Probably the best live performance I’ve ever seen and I’ve been to a lot of shows. They absolutely rocked the place.

My Cordoba met it’s end on a cold Scarberian night in 1984. It tore a fire hydrant out of the ground and slammed into a telephone pole before coming to a stop in a smoking pile of rubble (pictures to follow). The driver was thrown clear, so clear in fact that he was never found. There were no...

I had a 1975 Córdoba with Corinthian leather bucket seats. It was a piece of crap but man those bucket seats were nice.

My partner has had 5 shots, I’ve had none. By the time the vaccine was available I had already had Covid and chose not to get the vaccine. We’ve both had Covid 3 times that we know of. Her bouts were slightly less severe, not by much though.

Yes I agree with some of that but at the risk sounding like a conspiracy guy, the CIA would not make a statement like that lightly and they have access to information you and I could never imagine. There will never be a smoking gun unfortunately, China will make sure of that.

Your right, there is no proof and there never will be. China has been less than forthcoming about anything relating to the virus and it’s origins. No amount of evidence is going to convince someone that still believes in the wet market theory rather than open their mind to the possibility of a...

Let me rephrase that, I think that the general consensus is that the Covid 19 virus more likely than not came from a lab. If you know something that the CIA doesn’t, I hope you take the time to share it with them. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd9qjjj4zy5o...

The whole wet market thing was a distraction, I think the general consensus among the scientific community is that Covid was created in a lab.

Kinda like in the 70’s when you would go to buy brake shoes at Canadian Tire. The kid behind counter would look on the microfiche and ask a million questions, the last one always being “Does it have air conditioning?”. WTF does that have to do with brake shoes.

I consistently get 6-7 years out of the original batteries in my new bikes provided I keep a Battery Tender on it over the winter. They have always been made in Japan Yuasa’s. The replacement Yuasa batteries you get here are made in USA and I only seem to get about 4 years out of those. As for...

My buddies wife had a BMW, he called it the Bavarian Manure Wagon. Nice bike, those older BMW’s have a lot of character and seem to be a real bargain. The older RT’s make a great everyday rider.

There’s a guy that mechanics use in the GTA whose specialty is removing broken bolts and thread repair on site. I was getting my Mercedes Sprinter worked on in Scarborough and my mechanic broke a bolt off in the head in a really bad spot. He picked up the phone, the guy showed up within the hour...

Your right about bike thieves being like horse thieves. I had a bike stolen so I know what it’s like. Karma caught up to Nick. He stole bikes to support his worsening cocaine habit, he dropped dead at the age of 24 of heart failure. The only silver lining in this story is that Nick’s program...

Did your RD ever get stolen?

There was a guy in my neighborhood known as “Nick The Bike Man”. He was a prolific motorcycle thief that honed his skills in Scarborough. He worked briefly at Toronto Motorbike behind the parts counter. He had determined that there were only about 10 different keys that Yamaha used on their...

When I was a kid in Scarborough in 1974 there was an older guy in my neighborhood that raced an RD350. One Sunday my buddies and I are sitting on some swings in a parkette just outside of the Eglinton Go station parking lot where this guy is doing wheelies on his RD in the empty parking lot in...

I agree. I would rather see a nice old bike with original paint and patina than one with a bright shiny new paint job. I think those weird graphics Japanese bikes have had over the decades are difficult to replicate.They never seem to look quite right.They’re only original once as collectors...
