If you want to see a real crazy-ass movie by Cronenberg check out “Crash”, filmed in Toronto as many of his movies are.

    Jokes

    I remember someone telling me that Kentucky Fried Chicken changed their name to KFC because their food was so genetically modified that they couldn’t legally call it chicken anymore. I don’t think that’s true but it makes a great story.

    Did I ruin this tire?

    Yeah, that’s what it says on their website but I had a jar of it in my garage for a number of years and never had that problem. It was vegetable based, I guess they changed their formula.

    Meditative riding, preferences and hondas

    That is a conundrum, a bike a bike that does everything well, is easy and effortless to ride generally does not put a smile on my face. My last Honda, an ST1300 fell into that category, it was about as exciting as driving my dad’s Buick. However, Honda got it right on the bike I had before that...

    Did I ruin this tire?

    You can use this as is or mix with water and use it in a spray bottle. They also sell weights and nice tire balancers. Is it me or have tire changing threads replaced oil threads? https://www.nomartirechanger.com/sp-lube-pint.html

    Trailers

    If your buying one for the long term I highly recommend going with aluminum or galvanized. I’ve had two steel trailers I stored outside and used all winter, they both disintegrated after about 12 years.I think one was made by Jensen here in Ontario, it was really well built otherwise.

Even the science on how environmentally friendly those EV’s are is somewhat questionable. On a global...
