    Scala G9 - Volume too low?

    Hey all, Just got a Scala G9 to replace my G4 unit for my birthday, and the device is great so far, except I'm finding the volume to be way too low at times, compared to the G4. I'm using the same G9 headset module I was using with the G4 (bought it when I got my new helmet) and now that I'm...

    Shell/Gas Station Rant

    So ****** off right now at Shell and their moron employees. I was at the Kingston & Sheppard Shell station, filling up my (nearly empty) tank, and at less than $5 the pump cuts off, no warning.

    Low idle RPM, sputtering -- "Fixed" after refilling gas?

    Hey guys, I may already have the answer to this one but just wanted to get a 2nd opinion or two. Bike has been running fine up until yesterday. Was on the highway and I noticed that regardless of gear, around 5-6k RPM (power-band area) the bike would sputter & lurch, as if I were chopping the...

    401EB Warden off-ramp - Roadkill in Right-Turn (north) lane

    Just had a nice slip on the 401 Eastbound Warden off-ramp, thanks to some roadkill on the outer half of the right-turn (northbound) lane. Looked like a small animal, maybe a raccoon or even just a squirrel or something, but it was enough to unsettle the bike quite harshly. If you're going to...

    Laptop WiFi problems when on AC power

    OK, this one has me stumped. My new laptop (Asus VivoBook) generally works wonderfully, except for an issue with my WiFi. When on battery power, everything is fast and smooth; my 25/10 Fibe internet is fast as hell. When on AC power though, speed and connectivity turn to crap, and...

    Southbound 400 to 401EB onramp -- Gravel spill

    Was just informed by a friend that the 401EB on-ramp from the southbound 400 is covered in a fair amount of gravel, apparently from some kind of spill. He didn't clarify exactly where on the ramp, but that particular ramp is difficult to see ahead on due to the high walls, so be careful if...
