Meet the new law, worse than the old law! http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2014/06/04/ottawa_unveils_new_prostitution_law_targeting_those_who_buy_sex.html

This has not been my year so far. Job ended yesterday too. Today I was checking on the valve when the feeler tip snapped off when I was on the intake. I can't see it anywhere on the ground and didn't see it fly out so I have to conclude it snapped off inside as I was holding it at the time. I...

I do believe I adjusted the valve clearances too tight this time. They are still in range I believe just at the very bottom. What is throwing me off is that the engine is vibrating a lot more now through the seat and handlebars. It sounds ok but the vibrating is different to the point that it...

It is a 6 point 18mm socket and has the spark plug insert inside. A socket is nice to have if you want to use your wrenches instead of the emergency socket that is in the toolkit. Part # 58-8909-6

Hi, I was just wondering, do any shops have a jig set up to do laser beam alignment like cars have? From what I have read, the hatch marks on the frame can't be counted upon to be accurate and that there are several places where alignment can be improved upon. -Alignment of rear sprocket to...

Hi, I know to be perfect about it as recommended in the shop manual, the o-ring should be replaced every time something is opened. But in practice how often do you actually do so? Seems like the o-rings can actually be quite expensive if you start adding them up. This is on a Suzuki. They used...

If you want to try engaging in dialogue with him on Twitter, perhaps to ask for bikes to be allowed in provincial HOV lanes, his username is @Glen4ONT Please remember, it is important to be polite and respectful as if you were being introduced to him in person. If we are all polite and...

Hi, I think I might have a defective (or missing?) gasket. This is something I need to fix the hard way because Suzuki doesn't sell gaskets for the cap they want you to buy the whole assembly for $200. I have read sometimes you can make your own gasket or substitute a Honda gasket of the same...

I just found out Bell is using a scanning process to make a Star custom fit to one's individual head shape on a limited basis. I hope I'll be able to take advantage of this technology advancement sometime because I wear a cochlear implant and no helmet I have tried has room for the BTE so I have...

This Charles fellow has published a 16 point platform that is intriguing. http://www.charlesformayor.com/

Mechanical: -Fuel doesn't sit in bowls evaporating away like it does with carbs. -EFI agitates the fuel to a certain extent Chemical: -Fuel stabilizers as I understand it try to spread a thin layer of oil on top of the gas in order to act as a barrier to oxidation and make it last longer as a...

Australia begins its war on the bikies. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/australiaandthepacific/australia/10379154/Australia-creates-bikies-only-prison-to-deal-with-warring-motorbike-gangs.html

Papers here say if we allow them to install the black boxes into our cars to track our acceleration and braking behaviour and other stuff we can be eligible for discounts up-to 25%. I'm not installing that **** into my car. I'll wait till they buy off the pols and make it compulsory. At which...

About 1-1:30 AM? I drove past this. It was right next to road construction. There was a lot of construction all over yesterday. Saw a police SUV go past on the shoulder with lights on and cynical me thought it was just another cop using their lights to get past traffic. Approached and in the...

I rejected a parking spot this morning. This is at Oshawa GO. They have made lines to park 8 bikes there but really only 7 bikes can "legally" park. The problem with the 8th spot as I see it, bike rack on 1 side, no 1 foot or whatever of space between lines. Car doors and people run risk of...

Hi: I have a bike that has less than 2000 km on it but I think it has more smell than it should. What is happening is that often after riding it and especially (but not always) if I shut it off with the kill switch the garage will smell even days later of "bike". I want to say it is gas but I...
