All I really wanted to know is how the same show at the two locations compare. The way I see it, if a manufacturer isn't showing to one, they're probably not showing to either. We have GP Bikes, Montreal has Pete's. Rightly or wrongly, my impression is that the motorcycle culture is bigger in...

Same organizer for the upcoming Toronto and Montreal shows. Has anyone been to both and how do they compare? I've been to the Toronto one a few times recently and like it better than the January Supershow because of the better manufacturer presence. But even then, they don't always bring the...

It always amazes me when people replace things that have nothing to do with the symptoms. I can understand that not everyone is mechanically inclined, but replacing tires on a machine that won't start doesn't seem to make much sense. Same with all the other driveline parts.

Oof, sorry to hear. Did you ask UPS if there's any recourse? Since you bought from a Quebec company and paid Canadian taxes and were never told it would be shipped from outside the coutry, maybe they'll send the bill back to the shipper? Otherwise, what's next, we get dutied on Walmart.ca...

Thanks, that's dirt cheap if it runs, and I only have a 24 km round trip commute now, 2 days per week. Just not loving the look of it. I can let the cat out othe bag now. I was looking at a 2014 Tesla Model S with unknown mileage because the battery was drained and the seller didn't know how to...

When you pre-heat an EV while plugged into your home charger, does it only use the wall current, or does it dip into the battery?

To stay on topic, I'm debating whether to roll the dice on a cheap high mileage EV to get my feet wet. I've had good luck buying high mileage ICE vehicles at such a discount that the money saved could fund just about any foreseeable DIY ICE component repair. But on an EV, if the battery pack...

I don't know how they do it, but Gibby's has a crazy ongoing prix fixe lunch for $50/person including appetizer, main, lemon sorbet palate cleanser and dessert: https://www.gibbys.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Gibbys-lunch-S2025.pdf Worked out to be one of the cheaper meals we had there.

Not sure how accurate, since it's a Facebook post with no references. It's also mentions country of parts origin, not country of production or assembly. "Where are motorcycles made today? Few are made in the US, although many are "assembled" here. The two primary American brands, Harley...

Probably because they're including scooters, mopeds, and any other motorized vehicles with 2 wheels - possibly even e-bikes. There's no way Italy is half or even 1/3 of Japan without Vespa.

LOL, now I really want to wear one to the next Burger Night! Or better yet, the next off-season get together!

Don't. The only vest worth wearing for warmth is a heated vest. And for protection, you get more from a varsity jacket with the leather arms where you're most likely to drag on the pavement when you fall. If it's just for fashion, that's different and you should just do whatever speaks to...

I love the idea of closing out a day of riding by tailgating in the Tim's parking lot on a busy bike night, but not sure how well that would be received by the tenants (especially Tim's and Firehouse Subs).

La Castille is classic old school fine dining in an old mansion. If you liked that, The David Duncan House is very similar. There used to be a whole bunch more but slowly disappearing over time.

I really miss the old Hy's location. The new place may look more modern, but the old place just felt more opulent. I loved the fireplace that was a window into the kitchen, and the back room just oozed excess.

Yup, and you'd think having a lift in your garage saves you from all that, but nope. A couple weeks ago I was replacing a leaking power steering hose on the MDX which required me to remove the front bumper cover to access the other end of the hose. Sure I got it on the lift to save my back and...

Is that with or without the snow guards installed?

Yeah, but to search all of Canada, you end up with doing it a number of times.

Setting up an FB account with no real personal info that you only use for Marketplace and Groups is just as safe as Kijiji and Forums in my opinon, so really nothing to dislike. But my biggest problem is they give you all of these options to sort, but none of them work. I wish they'd just...

Pic doesn't do it justice. I guess this is one of those "you had to be there" moments.
