    Deals Gap / Smoky Mountains 2024

    Check out Seasons Inn. Blairsville GA. I have stayed there maybe 8 times now. Not a resort but clean and close to all the roads you want. The Dragon is a **** show so skip it as there are so many others to ride. I was there for 5 days of riding and went 1400 kms. Remember there are some corners...

    Are you old enough to remember these motorcycle shops in To?

    I purchased three bikes, 1975 S3, 1975 Z1 and a 1977 KZ1000 from Action Kawasaki. The shop was located on Weston Rd south of the 401. Lang Hindle , Warren Milner {Honda Canada} and John Baylis (Yamaha Canada} all worked there at one time or another. The two Action partners opened Action Honda in...

    COVID and the housing market

    Laws of supply and demand apply here. Lots of demand and little growth in supply. The feds are considering some type of cap gains tax on primary residences. They will deny it but they asked CMHC to look into it for them. Estimated govt revenue about 78 billion a year. Peanuts with the way they...

    Stupid things people do in these times

    Was at the gas station because my tank was empty. Lady in front of me topped up her tank. Nozzle clicked off after about 30 seconds. Asked her if it was broken. She replied no as she only put $2.50 to top it up, because......you never know. Nuts

(home of beer fridge) Seating for bs sessions with experienced friends (experienced means retired like me) Smell of new rubber prompts another round of beers. Discussion...

    New tires for new season 2020 - options, supplier, installer

    I have used Bridgestone 016 on my 2002 ZRX 1200r for years now. Bought many sets out of the US delivered to me when there on trips. Last set I got,however, was out of Fortnine a year or two ago. Best price I could find, even better than the US considering exchange etc. Now the 016s are not...

    M1 Exit Course (Learn to Ride - Humber North Campus) Done... Now what?

    I would try to ride by myself for the first while. Being in a group is a complete change of riding environment. Not only will you have to ride your bike but you will have to be aware of those in your group around you. It does complicate things for you and can be very distracting. Most of the...

    Anyone here own a Chevy Corvair?

    Hey Ronnie. I had a 68 Monza I bought from my dad in about 74 for the grand sum of $1. 4 gear, 110 hp, smoked like James Bond's Aston Martin. Loaded two sets of scuba gear in the nose, flat on the springs. Cornered on bald tires on dry pavement like a roller skate. Never got stuck, leaked oil...
