    I once led a group ride of 8 bikes. One guy had never ridden with me before. At one point we went through the few sweepers at Terra Cotta, coming up to Mississauga Road, and I had to wait 30 seconds for him to catch up. At the end of the ride he complained that I wasn't going fast enough in the...

    He was at West. After they closed he moved to Kahuna. I inquired about a bike that they had for sale, that I was really interested in and he was the one who responded, so I dropped it. I later got a response from the manager and told him if Rossler was involved, I wasn't interested. The manager...

    Yup. Electric will get you to the speed limit faster than you can blink. It just won't necessarily give speed addicts that top speed that they crave. It's a great idea for Montreal/Toronto/Vancouver where you spend a lot of time in stop and go traffic. unless you're breaking the law everywhere...

    True enough. Those wonderful 7 and 8 year loans are a cash cow. I once had the sales manager at Cycle World dick me around over a loan, the day that I was supposed to pick up a new bike, saying that the loan hadn't yet been approved. In a month. I tossed two credit cards on the desk and said...

    Won't maximize, but he certainly wouldn't get any benefit of the doubt without contrition. Then again defendants seem to be quite good at manufacturing contrition, when they're really just sorry for getting caught.

    Pretty much always has been, though some shop managers don't recognize that fact.

    From the video, the perpetrator would have a very difficult time arguing that their actions were not purposeful. This fits the definitions for Assault Causing Bodily Harm (CC267). That's up to ten years. Given the conditions under which this occurred an argument could be made for Aggravated...

    This story on Global has a better clip of the push. And it was definitely a push, not a "touch."

    Reports are that they're selling like moldy bread. They've been sitting on showroom floors too long and keeping inventory that doesn't move is money the dealership can't do anything with.

    I just watched the GenCon pre-release version of the last film in the "Gamers" series, "The Gamers: Dorkness Falls." Projected release date is Spring of next year. Even with a bunch of effects missing and it still being in need of some audio balancing, I loved it. Except for one thing. This guy...

    Not Ontario, but relevant to this board. Don't be a dick, especially not to a senior citizen. He could have been killed. I hope that Hyabusa boy ends up with some serious repercussions. (guessing on the bike)

    Last episode ever of "Resident Alien" tonight, as it got cancelled. That really sucks as I've really been enjoying it, and I was hoping for a 5 season arc. Tudyk is a bloody comedy genius and deserves an ongoing show. I really need to hunt down season 2 of his webseries "Com Man" as I was a...

    Thought that I'd give "Renegade Nell" another watch (D+), before "Wednesday" season 2 drops, on Wednesday. Nell could have well done with another couple of seasons. Good stuff.

    "In the Lost Lands" - I can see what they were going for, but it's a huge miss.

    @MacDoc - The last episode of "Sandman" was probably the best of the lot and it stands on its own.

    I enjoyed it, and have a copy of "Preludes and Nocturnes" somewhere, but he's done. The star does a very good job of depicting Dream. I was curious how they would handle the voice and it just seems to be the actors own voice, instead of any sort of manipulation, which I appreciated. The way they...

    The last episode of "Sandman" has dropped. It was cancelled after the issues with Neil Gaiman came to light.

    "Fantastic 4: First Steps" - Really good for this old comic book collector from back in the '70s. They do the Galactis story with a few twists from later versions, and without being slavish to the original. The production esthetic is the 1970s, as predicted by the 1960s. Well worth seeing. I...

    I have director and editor friends who looked at the barrel scenes and immediately picked out that they were shot on GoPro. Then they pointed out to me where you could see the flaws in costume and makeup, because of the resolution and frame rates that they chose. That very likely had an effect...
