Perhaps the Fire Department should be too busy at other calls and need to delay their arrival at the next fire in the encampment.

Or what's moving in the opposite direction.;) Several years ago, coming home from the resort via Hockley Road, I was a little over the limit and spotted an OPP cruiser going the other way. He spotted me as well and lit up his lights and pulled a U-turn behind me. As soon as I saw his lights in...

Oh, I've seen them there many times and that's why I am careful to hold my speed to under 100 all the way down that hill. Apparently the guy from Medford wasn't as aware of this "fishing hole".

It never ceases to amaze me how fast some drive/ride on Airport Road. I keep to 20kph over (or less where I know the OPP like to setup) and have been passed by virtually every kind of vehicle you can think of. Just yesterday coming south from 89 there was an unmarked SUV in a driveway near the...

A group of us did an over night trip to Pembroke and back on Sunday-Monday. Eastbound via 118 (blue, 531km) and westbound via 60 through Algonquin (purple, 472km). I finally remembered to take a few pics at Whitney on the return trip. Note there is a section of 117 between the branches of Old...

Wow!!! No mounting hardware and asking $450! Have you seen the price of that hardware? I wouldn't offer more than $100 for that box. The mounting hardware alone is probably north of $150 and the damaged lock could also prove to be fun/costly to replace. I think that guy will have that box for...

If it's a Thule or Yakima you can get the key online from them. There should be a code on the lock that identifies which key is needed. That's how I got an extra key for the Thule that I had previously. I think you can also get replacement keys through Rack Attack. My current Mont Blanc box is...

I hear you. Everything is either way overpriced, or damaged, or missing the mounting hardware, or have no key. I looked for months until I found the one in the pics above. I had the same experience, but had the additional problem that I was looking for a shorter (in length) box that would still...

There was a short three year period about 40 years ago when there was no motorcycle in my garage. This dark period had more to do with economics than concern/worry about not being around for my kids. Frankly those thoughts never entered my mind, likely because I never had a close encounter that...

Today (Tuesday) looks very wet all across southern Ontario. It might be better once you are north of Ottawa. Wednesday and Thursday look better, but I wouldn't place any bets on Friday. For the past couple of years it's been nearly impossible to string more than two days together for an extended...

You actually believe the forecast!!?? Good luck, looks like an awesome route.

Looks like a great ride, except for the portion of Highway 9 and the 400. I hate both of those roads and will take anything else to avoid going through Barrie.

The ones that get me are those who start their left turn waaay before the intersection and cut cross the centre line before they reach the intersection. It's fine if there is no one making the simultaneous right turn, but if there is this "racing line" doesn't leave sufficient space to properly...

They wouldn't be on strike if the majority of workers hadn't voted to go on strike in the first place, so they actually do have a choice. They likely voted to go on strike because on previous occasions the "made whole" wording in the return to work protocol has lessened the financial impact of...

I went to work at the golf course in the rain, which fortunately stopped by 1pm.

We did a quick cross-border shopping day yesterday and I couldn't believe how busy it was in the Peace Bridge Duty Free (leaving Canada). I've been in that place many times and have never seen so many people in there. Not sure if these were Canadians who were planning on returning the same day...

I haven't been up to Beaver Valley Road in a few years. After hearing this report I'll wait until fall before I venture up there.

Which is why I noted that the vehicle approaching from behind the police vehicle should slow as they pass. Since it is impossible to provide a full lane when passing a stopped police vehicle on a two lane roadway, even the cam car should move over to the right as far as possible and slow as they...

I've always been told that it is the responsibility of both drivers to share the available roadway when passing a stopped/parked vehicle regardless of where the painted centre line might be. In the video the roadway looks to be sufficiently wide to allow the cam car to move to the right and...

Here's my set-up. No lifting and it stores out of the way. Just lower onto the rack and attach to the crossbars.
