That's pretty much how all roof boxes end up damaged. Either that or those overhead height limiting bars they put over the entrances to some outdoor parking lots to keep out large trucks. When I had my Tribute with a Thule ski box I was always on the look-out for clearance issues, but wasn't...

Yes. Apparently their prices have increased over the past few years.

Got in another scenic ride to work yesterday. BTW, roadwork is about to begin on 124 between Hornings Mills and CR 21. Also, Concession 8 Nottawasaga is closed between Glen Huron and 124 (bridge repair) and Riverside Drive between CR 9 and Nottawasaga 15/16 for road resurfacing, which...

I wouldn't mess with the side spring type. My old door had the overhead style springs that are around the pipe that attaches to the pulley and cables. When those springs break they don't go anywhere because the pipe keeps them in place. The danger is when you are winding the tension up or down.

About 15 years ago had to take apart the wooden double garage door on a previous house because the spring broke while both cars were inside. That door was heavy AF but I was able to disassemble and reassemble it by myself without too much trouble. The fun part was replacing the broken spring...

That's a pretty good quote. I just got a quote of $5,109.27 (+tax) in June to replace our 14' x 7' door (one and a half car garage). We decided to keep our current door for the time being. BTW, the current door is an insulated steel door and the bottom of the panel that touches the garage floor...

I still use paper maps when I'm on the bike. I also had paper CAA triptiks for our recent drive to Florida in March. They were help planning the route and I took them along as a backup to the onboard GPS in the car. Good thing too because the GPS took us on three separate unnecessary detours on...

You pretty much hit all of the reasons why I refuse to set foot into the downtown TO area. And this is coming from a retired TTC employee who was required to drive around all transit serviced areas of the city for 38 years! I am thankful that I retired 13 years ago and was able to regain what...

When I heard some of the details about these two I thought it was just a matter of time before someone would try to kill the people responsible for screwing over their clients. The first new report noted that there were previous fraud charges and from the looks of it those charged were not...

If the bike is "written off" doesn't that mean that it would be branded as "salvaged" and can no longer be plated in Ontario? I'm not sure be that would seem to be the case.

Yesterday while driving around Orangeville I saw a guy riding a very nice Harley bagger and noticed he seemed to be missing something. No jacket, gloves, or helmet. No headgear of any kind. I must admit it took me back for a second or two and I was surprised to see someone blatantly out there...

I commuted from Orangeville to TO for over 25 years and often used my bike. When I retired, (about 13 years ago), the traffic on the 427/409/401 was already getting bad. There is no way in hell I would even consider your commute at this point in time. I hope you don't have too many years left...

I've actually used that route about five times so far this season on my way to work at the golf course. I only work two days a week and if there's no rain in the forecast I'll ride to work and take that route, or a slight variation of it.

Not exactly a day trip, just the route I took to work yesterday. Oh and I stopped for that photo of the horse on River Road. Although my pic doesn't show the horse as well as the one taken by Sunday Rider because it's hiding in the shadows. I'll have to try another time later in the day.

I've been meaning to stop and take a photo of that yard art for years. I have ridden past it at least 10 times this season, but next time I'm stopping.

Come on, 27 is not that old. And yes, we really like our ST's. Why replace something that is fun to ride and does everything you need without a problem.

Photos please.

That sidecar rig has been there for a couple of years now. The owner decorates it seasonally. Lights on it over Christmas and a pair of skeletons during Halloween. It looks like a Honda Four, but I'm not sure. I'm going to stop and have a closer look next time I ride by.

And Friday night is Cruise Night for cars and trucks. Both events are worth attending. There are bands playing at a few locations along Broadway, as well as down Mill Street. Food trucks, free entertainment and a great destination for a ride.

Similar story here as well, although it happened on my first motorcycle when (unknown to me) the laces got tangled in the footrest. I couldn't get my foot down when I stopped and just fell over. Although it's kind of funny when I think back, I will never ever wear boots with laces when I ride...
