From the Globe and Mail and C D Howe institute. The number of temporary residents in Canada swelled to 2.8 million in the first quarter, underscoring the challenge facing a federal government that is looking to restrict migration to the country. Temporary residents – a group that includes...

Lane filtering is becoming a fact of (road) life now. While on the bike, a cabbie driving a van "filtered" past me - my fault, as I was maintaining lane safety (riding on the right side of the lane). While in a car, a guy on a Duc going down between two lanes to get to the front, unsafe as it...

Just got a Thinkware F200 Pro fitted for an all-inclusive $400, front and rear cams on a hardwired installation. Nothing fancy, just the essentials - good picture under day or night conditions - voltage sensor to save the vehicle battery - monitoring during "park" - heat sensor, to save the cam...

Was there last year, enjoyed checking out the vintage and classic bikes. The exhibitors were willing to chat and answer questions. Some would even start up their bikes just so you could experience the sound of a motor from bygone times.

Thanx for sharing the pix [emoji106]

The sale of that car was a mistake for me to, especially since I had the overlay of the Audi program on the CPU and a stage 1 chip by Pfaff and a tuned exhaust. It was a Q-ship!

Many dealers are selling used cars uncertified and they (the honest ones!) are upfront about it, stating that the car is "as-is". When I owned a 2.5 Rabbit (the 5 cyl model) my go-to shop was Techmaxx Auto in 'Sauga. They specialize in the german makes.

Reading about Canada's heroic defence of it's assigned beach, "Holding Juno" by Mark Zuehlke. The book is a great presentation with amazing detail on what happened 80 years ago on this day.

Cheers!

Sorry to hear, GWS. The bike resto looks faultless, it is a shame that the effort is wasted. Hope that you get fair compensation for both your injury and the bike. What was the perp's story on the cause of the accident?

Just finished reading "The making of a Canadian Sniper", applaud the persistence and courage of Jody Mitic! Edit: he ended up being a double amputee (both legs) and to enable him to ride, Harley made him a bike with a push button handlebar shifter. Possibly a Barrie Harley dealer was involved in...

All this tech talk is giving me a complex, during my apprenticeship I could not make a straight cut and even now I cannot slice bread with slices of even thickness [emoji12]

Sorry, my bad - please disregard my post, I had mixed up the bikes. Yes, Motul 7100 is a good choice and no there is no clutch or final drive oil to change. Apologies [emoji17]

If you are changing the g/box oil, then you may want to change the clutch oil and while you are at it, change the final drive oil. Stick to the specs and you'll be fine. John Parker (Budds BMW) recommends dino motor oil for the R9T engine and apparently BMW in Canada re-badges the Castrol 10W30...

Nothing to beat the looks of the six organ pipes and six pots of the CBX. The Honda must be more heavy to ride than the BMW (which carries it's weight low) and the six must be glass-smooth compared to the visceral shake of the opposed twin.

Group ride to O'ville to check out the event, who's going?

Thanks for the warning-reminder, GWS.

The under pinnings of the R20 and R18 are almost the same, the WB is prolly identical. From the look-see, BeeEm have "bobberized" the R18, added 100cc per cylinder and dressed it with an R9T styled tank. With those massive jugs on each side, the bike is unique and the thing is that except for...

"Bobber" styled with elements of the R18 and R9T, a very cool bike! Is this BMW's foray into the Diavel market?

Yes, other error conditions could trigger the warning light and in this case ignorance will not be bliss [emoji3]
