I change the winters and summers on wife and my vehicles, always torque to specs in the book. One time wife had to get rear brakes replaced. That winter, I had to use a breaker bar to break the wheel nuts loose. It took a lot of effort. It didn’t cause the rear wheels to lock up. I think...

We got rid of cable tv many years ago. We watch Netflix on an extended membership with one of the kids. The only time I miss it is during world Junior Hockey tournament at Christmas time. Best hockey ever, with tomorrow’s stars shinning so brightly and before pro sports crushes the soul of the...

It isn’t a GPS but a remote screen of your phone, running those applications while you have the phone safely tucked away. I’ve been sitting on the fence with this. I’ve not heard many negatives about them.

I turn them over and reuse them again until they are out of round. I think there is a new thread for this kind of cheapassedness

Sometimes you use what ya got

You take the wheel off and roll it to either bag it, or throw in the back seat/trunk you have to see the gaping scar, and wobble as it rolls. Probably young kid getting the grunt job and rolling with one had with the phone in the other and not watching...that's my scientific theory.

It looks like someone took a belt sander to it, or it was stored beside something that vibrates wildly. My question is how did it get taken off at spring time and stored when it looked like that? I am real thrifty, but even I wouldn't put a tire like that on, even a summer tire.

Every parent's nightmare. I would go out for a ride with him, separate bikes. If you trust his riding capabilities, then you ride as passenger with him. Man that is a tough position to be in.

I saw on the weather app it was the last double digit day for a long time. Time to head up north. It was 4 with a wicked West wind, from Mississauga, Milton, Burlington, or maybe that’s another thread. Glad I had the heated liner and gloves as it got colder the more North I got. Duh. I had the...

I have mine on a trickle charger all the time. The battery is an AGM finishing the 9th year. I am going to order another one in the Spring as I think I am on borrowed time. As long as they are fully charged or charging, I think you are okay. Mine is an unheated garage. Went for a ride...

Tough enough having electrical issues during the day, last night would have been a big problem to break down. Hope you get it solved.

I remember that day. I went for a ride and I could feel salt grit in my teeth as I was grinning how great to be out riding. I worry about leaving the bike with salt dust all over it until spring. I change the oil and filter in the bike and lawnmower at the end of the season too.

I think Halloween is going to be postponed.

That's too bad as I thought season 1 was so well done, Season 2 was okay. We are watching Parenthood (6 Seasons) on Netflix. It is really good. I guess we are really behind.

Okay, have to admit, the West does move it a lot more. But I think hamburgers are a big influencer.

Let me correct that, Midtown, Downtown goes to die. North and East of the city; game on!

I’ve given up on pro sports (still a bit of love for the Leafs though) and I must admit I’ve been watching the highlights after the games and very happy they are going to the big show. Amazing really. Go Jays Go.

I bought an AGV K-5 S at the bike show and really like it. Much lighter than my Shark modular and very quiet (not as quiet as my old Shoei RF1000 though). Hopefully no recall on this one.

Hey @PrivatePilot how did the trip go. Where have you been? We miss you!

A long shot but what I did, specific for my bike was on eBay I bought a bag of fasteners from a bike breaker. It was a few years ago when shipping from the US was cheap. It weighed 15lbs as he had all kinds of brackets and even some relays. I still go to that bag at least 2x per season for me...
