    Glad to see that there is another interest in Military history here, thank you for your valid comment! That was the "escape" clause used by the organizers of that ill-fated raid. Military strategists have said that such a rehearsal will have groomed the opposing force on what to expect and to...

    What are you reading?

    Just finished reading a fact-novel on the situation in 1939 Palestine, not much has changed in 2023. The actors may have changed, the scenario is the same. Ditto with the novel "Kursk", the war time strategy then in Ukraine is much the same as it is today, right down to the wrestling over the...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Hah, just like another auto maker - they never have "recalls", they only have "upgrades". Semantics!

    Jan motorcycle show, plan on going?

    https://motorcyclesupershow.ca/ $27.91 for a ticket - is it worth it? The big players have not put on an attendance for the last couple of years, ticket prices are up and has it become a flea market of sorts? (The last show I had been to was pre-pandemic)

    GTAM App?

    Girder forks with a new twist!

    Read about this unusual fork design that may even make it into production. The engineering is fine, but the looks? https://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/new-tech/cfmoto-girder-fork/

    Anybody need some cellular data?

    The phone guy at the store told me that the difference between 4G and 5G speeds is only evident with hard core gaming or binge streaming and that too it may not be a whiz-bang difference.

    Honda Recall (250k vechicles)

    Sometime back I had approached a Honda dealer for an issue with the Civic, explaining that there was a TSB for the very same issue in the US. I was told that "that is in the US and not here in Canada". Same car, same issue and a geographical division dictates that the problem is a non-issue...

    Deterrents

    Me too, seriously considered a Volvo but when I heard of the servicing costs and explanation thereof, I walked away. Example: $400 and the reason why is "Volvo has so many software modules and we need to check and update these at a service. Huh? Other manufacturers provide software updates as a...

    Ethanol is bad for "Vintage" engines

    For me, the addition of the additive did not help, but then I tried to start the motor after 18 months of storage.

    Ethanol is bad for "Vintage" engines

    The link below is from a "small engine" site, I would think that the principle is the same, draw your own conclusions! https://www.yourgreenpal.com/blog/is-fuel-stabilizer-worthwhile-here-is-what-lawn-care-pros-have-to-say

    when does the salt start?

    Heard that Startron works against the ethanol and moisture and Stabil works against the moisture. Am not a chemist of any sort and the above is just hearsay. (is this in danger of becoming like an "oil" thread?[emoji6])
