    I've done some back-of-the-napkin calculus, and the tax savings compounding the DRIP on the divvies in my reg port are huge. This vs the 30% withdrawal tax + future tax on my non-reg seems like a double whammy, even though I know I will have to pay that income tax eventually. My preference is...

    If you're wondering why your CDN stocks got a little bump up this morning: https://globalnews.ca/news/11675702/donald-trump-tariffs-us-supreme-court-ruling/ If this keeps going, may not have to tap into those RSPs...

    The Toronto Motorcycle and Powersport Show - Feb 20-22 @ Exhibition Place

    LOL! I remember @VoiVoiVoi ... that's a deep cut from waaaay back in 2022. Did we ever get those line break issues solved?

    The Toronto Motorcycle and Powersport Show - Feb 20-22 @ Exhibition Place

    To all GTAMotorcycle.com users, It has come to our attention that the selection process for free tickets to the Toronto Motorcycle Show on February 20-22 at Exhibition Place in Toronto, Ontario has come under scrutiny. The staff at GTAMotorcycle.com takes such matters seriously and in the...

    Really?!? That's kind of an obscure bike. I don't know anybody that rides one of those...

    2026 MotoGP (spoilers allowed)

    Too true. When I was there, was so surprised that PI has barebones hospitality! All seating is entirely temporary and have to be put up and taken down for each race to host the spectators.

    2026 MotoGP (spoilers allowed)

    That sucks. So many great motorcycle tracks I wish would come back to the calendar, like Laguna Seca. On a kinda related note, COTA is going private soon and this is the last year they are allowing track days for the public. If you want to ride that circuit, better do it in 2026. Big money...

    Newfoundland T'Railway

    Any plated and insured ORV (Off-Road Vehicle) is allowed on the T'Railway, but if you're not a resident of Newfoundland, you need to purchase a Provincial Park Non-Resident Pass: https://trailway.ca/ $100 + tax + $5 handling fee

    I've always been a fan of the RSV4. Got a chance to ride one the very first year they came out.

    The Toronto Motorcycle and Powersport Show - Feb 20-22 @ Exhibition Place

    If you wait a few more years, once all the Gotta-Have-Newest-Shiny-Toy guys move onto the next new thing, you'll probably see some good deals on them. If you're not averse to buying used, those guys often put less than 1000 kms on them before they trade them in.

    Yep. I'm humble enough to admit that I have done some (a lot of?) pretty boneheaded things while on my dirtbike in the middle of nowhere. Nimrod? <<Raises hand>>

    Agree! That is a good-looking bike. Waay better effort than Ducati's Formula 73!

    Search and Rescue

    I don't think the Canadian search and rescue services work this way. At least not the ones in BC. My buddy is part of the local SAR, they are all volunteers, and the vehicles, fuel and other resources are all covered by donations made by snowmobile associations, hiking and other trail use...

    TFTs aren't that expensive, they can be bought on the aftermarket for ~$100. It's the ECU in the dash that'll break the bank. No aftermarket for that, has to be OEM. Can run upwards of $4K USD which also covers the reprogramming fee, depending on the brand. Unfortunately, every modern vehicle...

    100% I've never loaned anyone money, but I've picked up many tabs for dinner and other shared expenses. Not sure what others are seeing, but there's a lot of pain out there right now, economically. A few of my friends have been laid off and others are struggling with the rising cost of living...

    Speaking of sitting on bikes, at the last show, this is the one I liked the most: They had to clean the slobber off the tank when I got off. Oh, and also the seat. But that wasn't slobber...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Nice try. I'll just hang outside the hardware store and wait for someone to come along and pay them to go inside and buy me ratchets and sockets.

    Shots fired! ... and judging from who fired it, it appears to be from a fire lance: https://archaeology.org/issues/may-june-2020/collection/fire-lances-cannons/weapons-of-the-ancient-world/
