Did my driver's license renewal online yesterday. It said average time takes 13 minutes, download your temporary driver's license, your permanent driver's license mailed to you in 4-6 weeks. Punched in my info, all is good. Pay my $90 (3d party site), good. Then it gives me a screen telling me...

Only for the geek in you that's into the Kawi ZRX. Not that many people reading the G&M will know that the ZRX is a motorcycle. While the Kawi was made in Japan...

Rider gets knocked off bike by large piece of metal roofing. That must have hurt. Sandstorms from Mongolia are common in Beijing and northern China every year.

Not my type of bike, but posted for others.
Fluff, mostly, but some photos of 125cc bikes and their importance to the people. Quasi short video aka animated gifs. All the gear none of the time, same as in rural China...
My crash course in learning to ride a motorcycle

Good on Matt for taking the course and writing about it. It is a good example for potential riders.
I just linked to GTAM from a bookmark, as I usually do, and received a warning from Mozilla (I'm usng Firefox) saying that GTAM is a deceptive site. I took a screen cap. Once I clicked "Ignore this warning" I was punted to a Google screen where I verified that GTAM is not a deceptive site. It...

As a resident Scarborough I get the opportunity, daily, to see how terrible my neighbours actually drive. There is a high(er) proportion of Chinese and Indian drivers in Scarborough that never cease to amaze me as to novel and new ways of illegally driving at worst or how to inconvenience fellow...
Last month I read an article in the Toronto Star about a rider who had just returned from Cali and was shocked at the premiums asked by Ontario insurers. While it is an interesting read, there's nothing in the article that we all did not know.
Today an unnamed insurance broker wrote a rebuttal...
After the winter slumber I checked my tire pressure today on my cruiser and the front was way low. I pumped it back up the the recommended 28psi. If I bend the valve stem in a specific direction at 45 degrees I hear a slight leaking of air. It's not very much, but is audible. The tire does hold...
