I can't believe some of you people. You think that saying, "I take full responsibility" and "I'm sorry that taxpayers money was wasted" is all that is needed to forgive and forget. Geez, really? If a rapist said he was taking full responsibility for his crimes do you think merely saying I'm...

I'm not being nostalgic, I have no misconceptions of what cars were like in the 50's and 60's. I'm speaking from experience and specifically to statements like they rusted out after 2-3 years and were all junk after 5 years. We're not talking about Chrysler "K" cars from the 70's! How many of...

Your original comment was; "Far better than the 1950- 1960 era when they were junkers in 5 years." Tire construction, oil changes, fuel consumption and crash protection have nothing to do with that statement! I grew up in the 50's and 60's. I remember people keeping their cars for 10+ years. Not...

Dude regarding cars, you know not of what you speak. The majority of automobiles built in North America pre 1970 were solid and dependable. Best of all, the average Joe could do basic maintenance and make repairs without needing a degree or expensive electronic diagnostic equipment. I agree...

Ah geez you guys are breaking me heart... My (much) older brothers always said I was spoiled because they only got to listen to radio shows as kids whereas I got to watch programs on our 7" RCA. And then before I was old enough to start school my father built his own 27" cabinet B&W. He never...

First service is at 1000kms. Then it’s every 6000km’s thereafter. So 1+6=7 unless I missed something in the manual. The mechanic should have reset reminder as well so you’ll have a 1000kms to prepare. ;)

Actually, 6 Dragsters came to Canada originally. To my knowledge Motorsports World in Ottawa delivered the first one. Tim lead me to believe that was it until next year. You must understand that even if you ordered one now and it was built within a month it still wouldn't arrive until the next...

Weather permitting I’m in for the demo ride on June 22nd. I’ll represent the east end MV owners. That’s two hours east… ;)

You do realize that your next service is at 7000 kms right? You will get a service reminder countdown on the dash starting with 1000 kms to go.

I'm liking three.

No, I was trying to illustrate that Ducati, Honda and Yamaha didn't see a need to use conventional side mounted cans for their race bikes like their Aprilia, Suzuki and Kawasaki competitors were/are using. As for everyday CBR's and similar street bikes the under tail exhaust models don't seem...

Pardon me? Ducati won 11 WSB Championship titles (14 Manufactures Championships) with under tail exhaust bikes. Honda and Yamaha one each for Manfactures. Honda’s Moto 3 bikes seem to producing lots of horse power with under tail exhausts as well.

Re: EESA gun club open house - June 7/8 9am - 5pm Many clubs have similar events. If you can't make it to this one do a search for those near you and check them out. I haven't been to Oshawa or Orono for a several years now. I got totally out of guns after selling my collection back in the...

You are trying to compare apples and avocados here. The 1100 Evo is an air cooled 2 valve 100 hp old school sweet heart with a slightly more aggressive seating position and hooligan like characteristics. Yes, it will run hot in traffic but the engines are designed to take it. The new 1200 is a...

Ever heard the phrase, "Hide in plain sight"? UBL had been in the compound for six years just a mile from Pakistan's main training base. He was protected by well armed people who were willing to (and did) die to protect him. Anything more overt would have drawn too much attention. As far as the...

It's not a pain at all when you know what you're doing. We make several trips across the border every year and have a great system. We know about how much gas we'll need so the wife goes in and pays accordingly. I stay outside and pump the gas while she loads up on goodies. Only once that I can...

It was the silver painted rear section that threw me. Now that I look closer at the side shots I can clearly see the Monza emblem. Enjoy your new toy.

1965 or 66 140 Corsa 4 speed?

Was his name Paul Gould by chance? Back in the sixties my high school shop teacher had a stage II Corvair Yenko Stinger. He built it up to stage III and then stage BANG! Instead of building a new Corvair engine he had the senior class put in a built small block. He also liked Vettes. I lost...

I'll take it. Yours too Ric if you're really that upset with it. P.M. me and we'll se up a meet. I knew going in that it was an American production from an American point view. It does have international content though, including some Canadian.
