So I picked up a nice sandblasting cabinet to use on a restoration on a Yamaha RD400 that I’m about to emabark on, plus it was my birthday and I just wanted one. A couple of problems have reared their ugly heads and looking for advice from anyone with firsthand experience. First, my 20 gallon...

The torque wrench I actually use the most is a 1/4” drive 250 inch pounds (about 20 foot pounds). Everyone should have one of those. It’s the small fasteners that you have to be the most careful with.

The range on that is a little high for most applications on a motorcycle. Most oil drain plugs are about 20-25 ft-lbs. I think mine is 15-100 or 150 ft-lbs. and that does almost everything I need it to.I think they are more accurate when used in mid range rather than the upper and lower ends of...

I was at Shannonville on the Friday morning of a race weekend when Steve Dick unloaded a brand new Kawasaki S1 factory race bike from a cube truck.About 1:30 that afternoon he crashed it pretty bad in corner 6 just doing fast laps. I was in the pits when they unloaded the wrecked bike. I still...

Dave Meyer is the guy that built Lang’s bike, his younger brother went to my high school in Scarborough. I think Lang re-acquired that bike very recently.

Came across this in Muscle Shoals, Alabama last week after years of searching, the elusive Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon. You have to enter a lottery to get a bottle and can sell for up to $1000. It was pretty good but you can get other bourbons almost as good for a fraction of the price. The Mrs...

Sorry, I skipped over those previous posts.Coincidentally, my father is from Steyr, Austria. That’s where they made a large number of the K98 rifles as well as MP40 sub machine guns among other things during the war.As the Americans got close a lot of guns got dumped into the canal/river that...

Are you referring to Long Branch? I know that’s where the made the Lee Enfield Mark IV which is highly regarded among collectors. The building was still there up until a few years ago that I know of. I know the Inglis plant made Bren guns at their plant closer to the city near the CNE grounds...

The failure of the gun buy back program is actually making me want to go out and buy a gun. Does anyone know where to get a PAL in Durham and basically what’s involved? Not interested in anything restricted , just a nice new quality bolt action rifle and maybe some WW2 era military stuff, Lee...

I enjoy seeing vintage motorcycles that usually only show up at bike meets and otherwise don’t see the light of day. Haugen’s, on Hwy.12 just outside of Port Perry use to have a really good bike night and would have a really good turnout. It t wasn’t unusual to see 2 or 3 mint CBX’s and the odd...

You might find something for about $500,000 in Durham or other out lying areas.

That’s a great idea but I don’t think you will ever find a 1500SF unit for anywhere near $75,000. You can’t build a garage that size with heat,hydro,water, permits etc. even if you were given the land for free. I did work at a guys 2000SF unit at HWY.27 and Steeles and I’m pretty sure he paid...

Absolutely one of my favorite bands ever and a great video. I saw them at the CNE Stadium right around when this video was made. Joe Strummer still had the same crazy haircut he has in this video. The most memorable show I’ve ever seen, not the best musicians but they had a real positive energy...
