    monthly breakdown

    Insurance policy runs February to February. Is there an ins. industry standard formula that weights each month a specific amount? Also how are partial months billed? Example, if I wait 'til July1 to insure second bike to save some money but instead insure for June 30 would I be charged for all...

    "At camp people believed in me"

    So reading the "about" blurb on Tom Hortons Camp website it seems to indicate for losers only. Is that correct? Would you send your kid to #CampDay? If you were a loser candidate would you want attention drawn to the fact that some hired help "believed in you" presupposing that your economic...

    Selling your house by yourself

    Every once in a while you see a lawn sign "House for sale by owner". I assume once he strikes a deal with a buyer, he gets a real estate lawyer to done and dust it. Everybody goes home happy. It couldn't be that simple. What are the pitfalls?

    Any GTAM'ers own an eclectic vehicle?

    Shirley there must be some interesting cars among the gtam brethren. Anybody drive something useless they haven't bragged about yet? In hopes of joining that grouping I'm keeping a keen eye on the new electric Isetta Messerschmitt being developed by the Swiss. The originals were current, I...

    starter clicks

    Starter clicks. Starter relay is good. Solenoid passes pull-in, hold and return tests. Plunger and contacts surfaces seem to look ok except lots of black. Battery cables look solid. Battery at 12.94v. Any ideas before I double check everything?:cool: Bike runs fine when push started. It's a...

    What's an odd ball bulb?

    If I go into Carp Tire for a turn signal bulb, and among the vast array of bulbs, the one I need is not there does that make it an odd ball bulb? Full disclosure, I'm not a bulb guy. Is there a best brick and mortar auto supply that might carry a weirdo bulb? Au-Lite H21 12V/21W E13 2D3 tia

    Suspension guru to courtesy phone

    Or a good googleologist. Lower fork legs, female slider DR650. Brake and axle mounts are threaded on c/w super duty locking agent. I need to get them off. I've seen a couple pictures on ADVrider but no mention of the process. Any insight would be most appreciated.

    Fork Bushings

    Is it common that wear items like bushings are not available for low grade damper rod forks? (41mmKYB) Or other forks for that matter? Bit of a fright today, parts fiche doesn't show lower bushings (on the chrome stanchion tube). These are worn looking and need replacement. Also sealing ring on...

    Choosing tires via review

    How do you choose tires? I can't be the only one who spends days reviewing every tire option pros and cons and still comes up empty. You think you've got one nailed down only to stumble upon a poor review that contradicts all the good ones or worse, you finalize a decision only your fave...

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    That reminds me of a passage from a Bill Bryson book where he talks about getting the grand tour of a US airforce base by a top fighter pilot. Back at the cafeteria, the pilot offered to buy sodas from the vending machine. Bill placed his request but the pilot came back with the wrong drink.

    Auto tech blue wall?

    Coincidence or conspiracy? My little truck started wobbling down the road, regular driving and on the brakes. So I took it in for a bunch of work. After, the truck still wobbled down the road. I took it back to the mechanic for a test drive. He cleared it as "Honestly, it feels fine" See ya. I...

    Politics of motorcycle design

    Office and career politics in it's many guises. It's a ladder. The new wife is pregnant. Oh the pressure. Your assignment: design the tail light and soon to be discarded extender thingy. You're going to design the snot out of that aren't you. You have no choice. This is no time for less is more...

    Fat in the middle.

    I struggle with a lot of the basics. Like how does a $10,000 reshingle on a $300g home become a $25,000 reshingle on a million dollar home? The 1m house is only 1m because market forces, not because the occupants have any extra income. Or lets say you're making average Canadian wages so you have...

    battery theory

    In the interest of putting my full ignorance on display. After coffee, jumped on the bike, no headlight and only the weakest protest at the starter relay. Not good as I prefer to peel out in a stylish fashion. Managed to get a bump start. Ran fine c/w headlight fully operational. At home, again...

    Property Taxes

    I don't like to grind my teeth into a fine white powder over stuff I have no control over so this has only just come onto my radar via a Hamilton Spectator piece by our Mayor. It seems we're getting some sort of light rapid transit dealio courtesy of a 1000 million $ from the province. This...
