    RV & Trailer Discussion

    Leisure Travel Vans ( built in Manitoba) makes some really nice units. My wife and I picked up a new Unity Rear Lounge on a Mercedes chassis about two years ago and have been very happy with it. Definitely better quality and reputation than most. Also have a pretty good resale value especially...

    Not sure how i feel

    As long as he’s not riding a 1980 GS750 with a Yosh pipe, your daughter will be fine.

    Not sure how i feel

    That’s good to hear. If he’s had even one or two infractions he would never have gotten insurance. I would insist that your daughter wear the appropriate gear at all times or there’s going to be a problem. When I see new riders in t-shirts and shorts on hot days I always tell them don’t dress...

    Not sure how i feel

    How old is your daughter’s boyfriend and how long has he been riding? If he’s able to get insurance these days that’s a good sign. I remember in high school I had started dating this real nice girl. She called me one day and said her parents wanted to meet me. I told her I would be right over. I...

    What's going on with this tire?

    That might be an alignment issue. Was that tire on the front of your car? It might be a good idea to get an alignment done if you haven’t done so recently. I usually get one done every time I get new tires.

    Degreaser Recommendation

    Apparently the guy that use to own Oshawa Cycle Salvage (Steve Leclair), has an absolutely pristine Walter Wolf Edition that he says is worth well north of $50k US. I’m was a little skeptical on that price but he really knows his bikes so he’s probably right. People that collect bikes of that...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    If you’ve been married for 30 years your probably old enough to remember this. Happy Anniversary!

    What are you reading?

    Believing that the CBC is an unbiased, reliable news source while receiving well over $1 Billion a year from the current Liberal government is even more ludicrous.I don’t think it was much of a stretch to compare the two.

    Daily sports car?

    Was the wife in the car with “old me”?

    Daily sports car?

    Another car that I was really disappointed to see discontinued was the Acura RSX Type S coupe. It was a really nice little package. I wish they would bring back an updated version. I’ve heard rumors that they were bringing back the name on a new model but it would be a 4 door electric or hybrid...

    Daily sports car?

    That sounds a little disappointing. Seems most car manufacturers aren’t taking any risks and just keep pumping out the same old products. I was really disappointed when Honda axed the Civic Si Coupe, it was the best bang for the buck by a long shot. The MX-5 and Mustang are close seconds but I...

    I just bought a 1984 Honda V30 Interceptor

    I just bought a 1984 Honda V30 Interceptor

    Nice bike and a big thumbs up on the original paint, that’s getting rarer on vintage bikes these days. Interceptors, and Ninjas for that matter, we’re a giant leap in technology that year being the first water cooled, mono shock mass produced sport bikes. Your right about the 500 being much...

    5 years out of a Yuasa AGM battery?

    Probably because the Yuasa battery that come with your Japanese bike was made in Japan. The Yuasa battery you buy here is made in the US. I’ve always found that the battery that came with my new bike lasts about twice as long as the replacement. Good thing batteries are relatively cheap, if...

    The knife thread

    A Glock 78 that I keep under my pillow and a Fairbairn Sykes Commando Knife that my wife’s grandfather carried in the Pacific Theatre during World War 2. It was made later in the war, it had the rings on the handle instead of being knurled. Not as nice as the earlier ones but just as effective.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    I would try bolting 2 pieces of 1 7/8 “Unistrut” or “Electrostrut” across the bottom. You can get it at any electrical wholesaler in 10’ lengths, Rona carries it in their electrical department and I think Home Depot does too. Great all purpose stuff, I use it for building conduit racks and to...
