Where is the best place in the city to buy little things like metric nuts, bolts, rubber grommets etc. Thanks

I have 1995 Honda Shadow. Recently it started doing what I'm calling "slipping". When I give it some throttle, especially on a hill, the acceleration "hesitates". It doesn't grab like it use to only weeks ago. I though it might be gummed up carbs, but the engine sounds like the RPMS are...

I have an old car with some parking tickets on it. I'm in the process of buying a new car from the dealer. They just called and said they can't get the new plates for the new until the fines are paid? What gives, in the past, I got a new plate, even though I had fines on my old plate, albeit...

Went to court today to fight a red light ticket. Interesting to say the least. I'm planning on appealing the conviction, should I not talk about it here before the appeal is done? I'd like to get some advice, I think its worth an appeal but I'd like to get other opinions. Carmen

Got a couple court dates in Jan for some parking tix I got years ago. Already filed paper work for 11b. I'm wondering if its possible to get those dates combined and dealt with in one session. Thanks, Carmen

It's already difficult enough living and driving in the city of Toronto without having to deal with utter incompetence. I think most of the congestion problems in the city could be easily corrected with a little forethought. After spending nearly an hour on the Gardiner traveling from the Jarvis...

So I was convicted recently of a red light violation without receiving proper notice of trial. I plan to reopen it for trial. I emailed the Markham court house and asked them to reopen it. I get this email back from the court. "To request a reopening you have to attend at the Toronto East...

Hey I'm running some studies as part of my PhD at Ryerson University. I need some human participants. Its a fun little study and pays $10 and takes no more than 45mins. If anyone is near College and Gerrard at the moment I could use your participation. Thanks! Carmen

1995 Shadow 1100 Spirit Its very subtle, but the front end feels "loose", that's the best word I have for it. Steering head bearing? Carmen

Do it yourself garage? Anyone ever though about starting one? Would it be economically feasible?

Hi Any shadow owners should check out the 3 yellow wires coming from their stator going to the regulator / rectifier to make sure they are in good state. The couplers on mine had completely melted and that left me on the side of the road . . . not fun. I did my own repair and blogged about...

1995 Honda Shadow Spirit Late May, on my way to Montreal, front barring gives out. After making some bad metal grinding noises for about 100 kms, the wheel actually started wobbling about 1 inch back and forth. Towed back to Toronto. Had Ted's replace the front baring end of May. All is good...
