    Share your fondest memory of motorcycling

    In 1981when I was 17, I rode my bike with my 15 year old girlfriend( she looked 16) to Rich Stadium in Buffalo to see the Rolling Stones. US border guy just asked us where we were going and let us through. We thought we could buy scalper tickets but when we got there we found there were no...

    Black Friday Deals

    I bought a sweet Miller MiG welder and saved about $500. I’ve got my nose pressed up against the living room window waiting for Fed Ex to deliver it today. I love welding stuff to my bike. https://www.kmstools.com/miller-welder-44-mig-211-pro-120-240-volt.html

    Is It Time to Leave the Sport? Honestly… I’m Starting to Wonder.

    Saw this movie when I was 9 years old at The Elane Theatre in Scarborough and I’ve been hooked on bikes ever since.

    Is It Time to Leave the Sport? Honestly… I’m Starting to Wonder.

    For some it’s a lifelong addiction. There’s are worse things that one could be addicted to.

    Would you buy a demo bike ?

    I was on a supervised Honda demo ride out of Shannonville years ago. One of the guys mid pack was holding back until he got a bit room and pulled a good long wheelie. The Honda rep pulled the group over to the side of the road and gave the guy a warning. Five minutes later the guy did the same...

    Is It Time to Leave the Sport? Honestly… I’m Starting to Wonder.

    Everything in the original post is not only true in the motorcycle industry but in pretty much every industry. I blame unbridled corporate greed for much of this. Ever since Covid corporations have had consumers by the b@ll$ with limited supply, they’ve gotten use to these crazy profit margins...

    Marinating Steak

    A little bit of salt,pepper, fresh chopped garlic and fresh chopped rosemary. I pretty much only grill nice thick (1”-2”) rib steaks. Sometimes I’ll get a prime rib when they’re on sale and cut them myself closer to 2”. My showstopper side are sautéed mushrooms in butter with a bit of salt and...

    That and a little fear is what allows The Chinese Communist Party to exist.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    The only thing I would do differently is to strap the walls with 1x3 or 1x4 strapping before putting up the plywood. Putting up the plywood goes a lot faster and more securely, especially when all your studs are not exactly on 16” centres, which they usually aren’t. I was less than halfway...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    I did the walls in my garage with 3/4” plywood over top of existing drywall. I’ve actually done that in my last 2 garages and would do it again if I had to. They were both detached so fire rating was not required. Plywood makes it super easy to hang all your stuff on the wall and get it off the...

    Daily sports car?

    My brother had a beautiful ‘72 454 4 speed. They had dropped the compression that year for emissions but it still went pretty good. All that weight of the big block up front certainly didn’t help handling. I was riding shotgun in it when we raced his buddy’s ‘66 Hemi Satellite on Kingston Rd...

    Daily sports car?

    Ok GT package is basically leather seats, nicer rims and limited slip rear end I think. Just checked and the GT is $42,000 so not bad. They also have a 35th Anniversary edition for 2025 which is ruby red with beige leather interior and additional badging for another $2000 that looks real nice.

    Daily sports car?

    Yes, they’re pushing $50k now with the GT package., but what isn’t. Very nice car and once you’ve had a convertible it’s pretty hard to live without one. My mom had a ‘68 Firebird convertible and I’ve loved them ever since. A word of advice though, don’t ever get a convertible with a black...

    Daily sports car?

    I vaguely remember reading about those. Cosworth also supplied the drivetrain for a special edition Vega prior to that. Fun,sporty,affordable cars are almost non existent these days. The last one I think I would have considered was the Civic Si coupe although they still make a 4 door version...

    Daily sports car?

    The Anniversary Edition would have been 1978 and yes the late ‘70s was a very sad time for car enthusiasts.I was in high school at the time and had a part time job as a car jockey at Budget Rent a Car and got to drive pretty much every thing North American made. To say the cars were asthmatic...

    Home and Auto

    We had a very negative experience with TD Insurance. A neighbor’s tree fell on our house, damaging our metal roof, breaking trusses,breaking a window,taking down a fence etc.. It was just over a year before they even showed up to start repairs and another year to complete them. During that two...
