WHEN he gets back into drinking/drugs behind the wheel, then that's on him. FTFY

Because it's where there is a great deal of speeding, dangerous driving and passing using the centre left turn lane. There is also a higher than average accident rate along the entire section from Brampton to north of Orangeville. This strikes me as odd, because I drove this road when it was...

I stopped doing fall oil changes years ago. My winterization now consists of putting stabil in a full tank, plugging in the battery tender and putting the cover over the bike. Last season I put on less than 3000 km after the last oil change, so the full synthetic oil was still relatively fresh...

Also, remember that the entire section of 20th Side Road / River Road had a speed limit reduction a couple of years ago. The portions that were 70 or 80 kph over near Airport Road are now 60 kph and the rest is now 50 kph from just east of Terra Nova, west through Kilgorie and up to Prince of...

Finally got around to doing the oil change on the bike yesterday. Then a nice ride as my reward.

Years ago I altered my commuting route from Highway 10 and began to use Gore Road down to the 427 in order to avoid both 10 and the 410. That worked for a long time, right up until Brampton expanded all the way over to Highway 50. We now only go down to Brampton to visit family on weekdays and...

That section just west of Airport Road was recently reduced from 70 kph to 50 kph due to resident complaints. The section between 10 and the gravel pit entrance is also a heavily patrolled 50 kph and school zone. My last ticket in my car was in 2020 on Hockley Valley Road near the church across...

My last ticket was in September 2020 in my car. This was in the first year of Covid, so going to court was not really an option at that point. The officer had reduced the speed to 15 over and since there were no points involved, I just paid the ticket online. There was no effect on my car...

I will continue to shop where I find the best specials. If Zehrs/No Frills has what I need for the best price, that's where I'm going. We don't have many choices here in Orangeville (Zehrs, No Frills, Sobeys, Freshco, Metro and Walmart). It takes just a few minutes to drive between any of them...

I retired 13 years ago and can count on one hand how many times I have driven back into downtown TO since then. The last time was for an Elton John show at the ACC in September 2018 and by the time we got to the venue and finally into the building we had missed the first few songs! We had left...

Last weekend we hit a tile store, Stone Road Mall and the Royal Tent sale. There are also a few nice roads between here and there so the drive or ride is nice as well.

It should be no surprise that they pay the highest vehicle insurance premiums in the Province. Between the new drivers who come up to Orangeville to get licensed, the aggressive drivers and blatant fraudsters, it's a wonder any company would insure want to do business in that city. We used to...

I just paid $66.99 for a 4L jug of i-PONE 10.4 full synthetic at Royal Distributing during their no tax/tent sale. When the total came up my wife asked how much was that! At least there was no tax. I bought a Mobil1 filter a few weeks ago at a Walmart in Orlando. It was US$12, so with exchange...

While the deposit might give peace of mind to some, I will never e-transfer a deposit. I've heard of too many times where these sellers take that money and vanish. I want to see the item first and complete the transaction right then and there, in cash. The background check was a surprise since...

15K, wow, that is desperate! And I was questioning why I should have to pay $41 of my money to get a criminal records check as part of the job application process to get a part time job with a turf maintenance company! BTW, it's the first time I've ever been asked to provide one of those in...

The answer to that one is "Never too old".

Well if I have an at fault accident and a dirtbag tow company takes away the wreckage of my bike, they can keep it. I will have no further use of it and I wouldn't waste my time and money trying to fix it anyway. If the collision was the other persons fault, well then that's what a bike accident...

I still have the required minimums. On older vehicles it just doesn't make financial sense to have collision coverage. Fire and theft is more of a value judgement, but as I said a 27 year old bike really isn't worth much and would likely get a minimal pay out from insurance. The first few years...

I've looked at the cost for each of those coverages. At one time I had fire & theft on the ST. However, I dropped it about five years ago because, let's face it, who is going to steal a 1997 ST1100 with over 180K km on it. I mean really, I tried selling it a couple of years ago for $1500 and had...

Actually yes, and that is just one option available to corporations. They will continue to reduce staff, increase prices, close less profitable stores and or automate. The automated versions are already in use in some places. Why do you think McDonalds brought in those self serve ordering...
