Thought Turkiye would do better considering some of the young talent they have. Netherlands looking imperious today (and Gakpo being another Liverpool player who looks very different in national colours). A German friend went to see his team play Cote d'Ivoire, and wasn't too happy until the...

A little of both, plus a systems mismatch (Qatar doesn't have the big players like Bosnia that nullified Canada's attack), plus a relatively early red card that blew the game open for Canada, then a later ugly red that motivated Canada to really put the boots in. A very well drilled defensive...

A friend was at at the Canada game last night. Said it was as fun as any sporting event he's ever been to, despite the horror injury to Kone. They've put themselves in an excellent position to advance and looked a lot more fluid than they did against a big and organised Bosnia. Just need a draw...

It's the worst bit of aging dogs, that and when they get dementia and are scared and confused. Our chow/shepherd mix had back leg issues from middle age, would occasionally seem to lose control and the back end would flop over. He'd immediately recover, but as he aged, his back legs got very...

Thank heavens PSG took that, definitely the lesser of two evils for me. As a constant consumer of podcasts and other Premier League content, an entire summer of debating whether this Arsenal were one of the great sides (they're not) would have been unbearable. I only hope the Premier League refs...

Apparently had had problems with wheelspin coming out of Moss' into the dip, so he tried putting a bigger tire on the back. That solved the wheelspin but made it wheelie straight towards the woods on the right of 5c. The smaller tire went back on.

That's just a sliver of Paul's collection. His basement, attic, and garage at a different house are all loaded. He thinks he has over 50 bikes of various vintages and in states of repair spread through the different storage spots. I'm glad he's my neighbour, he makes my paltry three bikes look...

'Arris was one of the best. CMG Online was a real font of knowledge for then-new me, soaking up everything the old heads had to say on the Soapbox. Learned so much from Larry, Bondo, @TK4 , Blackie, and many others. Even did a spot of freebie work for the site, but quickly realised it didn't...

My neighbour was featured on Pete's Classic Cycle YouTube channel recently. Paul loves an oddball, you probably know him if you're involved in the VRRA: The RG500 has been through a few iterations to try and make it less insane at Mosport, but none have really done the trick. It's a wild ride...

The PL needs to fix how they call set pieces in the box. Being so permissive has led to this mess. No other league would allow the pick and rolls and rugby rucks that happen on every corner now. Like you, I've watched a lot more lower league football, particularly enjoying Serie B in Italy...

I saw recently that Richard Mille is estimated to be the 6th largest Swiss watch brand by revenue, at around 1.7B Swiss Francs, or about $3B CAD. They have by far the highest average revenue per watch at almost $500,000/ea CAD, which is roughly double the next most expensive brand. Only the...

The F1-isation of MotoGP will start this year. Big money tracks and big money dictatorships will get priority, tracks like PI and maybe even Mugello will go away because they don't have enough hospitality boxes. Bad news for WSBK, too, which I can't see lasting long in it's current guise unless...

Seems you're already aware, but just to be sure, it's a REALLY bad idea to mix different resistance cabs from the same amp, even one with dual outputs. The differential loading can burn bits out, and it'll sound awful to boot. I went through an SWR phase, as the gear got stupid cheap for a...

Now you're talking. Whack an Akra can on that and that smile would be permanent...

Inventory sale is up. Would pair nicely with the YBA-200 (many examples of which are also on sale), as long as the EQ is set appropriately. There's a Fender Rumble V2 350W combo on for $130 that's a screaming deal if it's in decent nick. Those cheapo Rumble combos sound way better than they...

That's a later model, I'm pretty sure. If you look at the Paul Smart LE, the bar height is about halfway down the tank, at about the height of the bump-out on the side. Or about 4-5" lower than these pics. The seat is also further back and the tank is longer, plus the pegs are higher. Stunning...

Looks like Pro 6 is auctioning off what's left from the Kipling store is anyone is interested: Bid Gallery | Toronto (Ontario, Canada) SELLER MANAGED Commercial Liquidation Online Auction - Kipling Avenue | Maxsold Some random parts bins, lots of work benches and tables, etc, but not a lot...

Not sure if you can get RevTV, but they carry most of the races. I set the PVR, but barely watched a minute once it became clear how the season would go. You don't the all the FP and QP stuff, but that is a lot less interesting anyway since they squeezed the sprint races into Saturday. As a...

There's uncomfortable and then there's torturous. A buddy of mine in BC loves the Sport Classic so much he now owns two of them. One is the original model, with the same clip-ons and long tank as the Paul Smart LE (less the dustbin fairing), one a newer version with the higher bars and lower...

Filler year, playing out the string on these 1000cc models. Everyone else will be pouring the development money into the 850cc bikes, so I expect more Ducati Cup than ever and possibly a record points haul for Marc. Would at least like to see Aprilia steal a win or two before they get swallowed...
