I think that’s what the Kawasaki 900RS goes for. The nice thing about the Kawasaki is that you can get the SE model that comes with the Ohlin shocks and Brembo brakes. I’ve heard many times once you’ve ridden a bike with Ohlins it’s hard to go back to the OEM suspension, especially if your doing...

Boxing is a very unforgiving sport, much like motorcycle racing. I remember seeing Miguel Duhamel walking through the pits late in his career at Mid-Ohio, both his legs were held together with plates and screws, I was in pain just looking at him. Lang Hindle still walks with a limp from his...

The retro Honda CB1000F is getting really good reviews in the UK and US.I think it may be available in Canada next year. My only complaint is the digital gauges, just doesn’t look right. It would look way better with analogue gauges like the Kawasaki 900RS...

Never heard of that bike. Just checked it out on Suzuki’s web site, seems like a nicely updated SV650. A little more electronics than I would like but I don’t think there’s any getting away from that.

I’m sure George contributed to some of Muhammad Ali’s neurological problems later in life, He was a formidable opponent to Ali.

We lost one of Canada’s greatest athletes yesterday. His claim to fame was going 15 rounds with Muhammad Ali and then 12 rounds a few years later losing by decision both times, no easy feat. I can believe it,saw him at a restaurant about 25 years ago, he was one thick, solid looking guy.

He’s going to climb it and drop it down in pieces, get rid of the wood and grind the stump. We had an option to use a crane to drop it down in larger pieces to sell the wood, apparently Butternut is very desirable but there seems to be a surplus due to recent storms.

I’ve got a massive Butternut tree behind my house that needs to come down, 4’ in diameter at the base. They’re protected but turns out this one is a “hybrid” so apparently it can come down without any red tape. We’ve been getting prices in the $10,000 range.

I also had a 2007 st1300 that I fell out of love with, rode the Kawasaki and really liked it. Reminded me of the bikes I first rode in my youth in the late seventies/early eighties but waaaay faster. It’s everything the ST1300 isn’t in a good way.

BAM!

I think a Generlink with a 30’ chord is about $1400. Whitby does not charge for isolation to allow you to install it and does not require a permit. Toronto charges for a disconnect ($500-$1000) and requires a permit. Most rural areas with power supplied by Hydro1 get a free isolation but require...

I like the Generlink setup for the following reasons 1) It’s cost effective, especially if you already have a generator. I recommend a 7500W or larger generator but you can probably get by with a 5000W one. 2) It will keep running as long as you can keep putting gas in it. If you are on natural...

I think he later said that he just used extension chords to power up his pump and fridge from his generator, that wouldn’t have caused any faults.

You forgot Commander.

No Have you seen Biker Boyz?

I would watch anything with Ann Margret in it, I don’t care how bad it is .

Not a myth.You can absolutely backfeed the grid from your home under the right/wrong circumstances. Tying in a 240v generator to your main panel can backfeed a transformer on the street and step it up to thousands of volts on lines that someone is working on. Consider getting a “Generlink” if...

Yes, to some what I do seems like voodoo black magic. It’s been an interesting career. At the risk of sounding like a name dropper, I’ve decorated Conrad Blacks Christmas tree many times, reset the power bar Keith Richard had his tea kettle plugged into, set up Mick Jaggers dressing room, did a...

In over 40 years as an electrician I’ve only had to reset a main 100 Amp breaker once in a home, the cause was loose terminations on the main lugs causing the main breaker to heat up and trip prematurely. I tightened them, problem solved. Your problem may have been from the inrush current when...

I was in the Kennedy/401 area and they got hit pretty hard with a few intersections flooding and hail. One of my customers owned a large,older commercial building nearby southeast of Woodbine and Steeles, they had problems with flooding in the area.The city bought it from them, knocked down the...
