Recall I contacted my MP on Dec.11th regarding Carney`s bill C-8 and C-9 further eroding what we have. As of now I`ve received SFA, no e-mail, no phone call, not even the standard BS form letter. I contacted Alex Pierson at am640 and she discussed those bills on her show a couple days later...

Not sure about the weather extremes in Poland, like most of Canada. I think a shingled roof has more eye appeal though. Rubber roof...huh. Maybe an errant Russian rocket or artillery round could bounce off. :p

I had my roof done just over 2 years ago. I picked the architectural/laminated GAF shingles. Total came to about 18 grand, it`s a big place. The old style 3 tab shingles were far less high wind resistant, I`d lost a bunch. I asked about a metal roof, it would have been close to 40 grand, I...

Wow. Made me think of the scene in "Casino" where the cops gunned down Frank "Blue" Bluestein. He got out of his car holding a foil wrapped Hero sandwich the cop thought was a gun..an actual story. F`n crazy.

That`s pretty much it. Cop or not, why would you run in front of a vehicle in a highly charged and volatile scene? This should serve as a future training tool. The woman driver screwed up, probably fully amped up and in fear/panic, not a situation someone ever faces. How do you call this?.... a...

Did you ever go to North York Hobbies, early 70`s on Avenue Rd., south of Wilson? A friends dad was a master model builder, he did work for the ROM and War Museum in Ottawa. He was a real oddball guy, I got to drive his Citroen 2CV. One of his creations was a RC Mosquito with a 6 ft. wingspan...

Confiscate and crush the car, with the driver in it. Morons.

Ride the stationary bike, lift some weights, use the snowblower, look in the fridge, look out the window, use the snowblower, read and wander around online. Day two....same as it ever was... :rolleyes:

The gallery page on Stile Italiano is amazing, something for any gearhead 2 or 4 wheels.

It is wild that the amount people will pay for something they perceive as valuable. And what they just want for whatever reason. I can`t see the prices that the Mecum or Barrett Jackson auctions fetch, there`s still no shortage of people with serious coin to burn. Back in `90 or so I looked at a...

In one of those episode of the two shows I mentioned, they were exploring a tide pool and found a tiny blue octopus. Turns out this critter is about the size of a toonie and tags you with a neurotoxin bite that will kill you within seconds. I recall them saying out of the top ten most painful or...

It wouldn`t too surprising the number would be more. Way back in the 500GP era it was over a million bucks to lease a "B" team level bike for a season. GP=mega$$$

Don`t recall where I saw it, a good pic of a Hailwood Ducati, from his `78 comeback TT win era. That could be it in the top pic, red tank, in front of the first full row. I`ll take it.

Those two giant spiders are bad enough, and that highly venomous caterpillar is another thing, and you`re out there wandering around in the dark. If you encounter one of those giant foot long, thick as your thumb, Hayabusa fast, centipedes, you must burn the jungle down. And if you find a nest...

Careful with that playlist, you`ll end up with "Muskrat Love" and "Mull Of Kintyre" :p

I`ve been to two Supercross races, the first at Exhibition Stadium which was the infamous 1980 mudbowl, the second at the `Dome in `89. A friend worked for Toshiba and we had the 50 yard line box, or whatever equivalent. Spectacular time, that was in the two stroke era( as God intended), and by...

I looked up at least 4 British `38 V-twins, amazing, what do you have? Also...any idea which parts they produced for which RAF fighters? I find this super interesting

And now BMW has a patent for a proprietary screw/fastener that will require their special tool, probably for big bucks naturally. I suppose if you have 40+ grand for a bike, they figure it won`t get you upset.

Years ago I torpedoed a huge raccoon just north of Port Perry, late night. It popped out behind the last vehicle in a string of northbound traffic. Just about ripped the front fascia off the dreaded Focus and pushed the rad back. Had a look at it and managed to limp home. I was reluctant to call...

OK...... Another representative of what the industry has turned into. I had two friends/coworkers killed in the mid `70`s that drove under the trailer of a rig stopped in a live lane.
