You would have to be an absolute idiot to steal a bike on an open pickup truck, like that. Probably the vehicle and/or plates are stolen, even. Usually they operate with blacked out vans so you can't see what they have from hundreds of meters away.

Contact me if you have anything for this bike.

More posts, Gene. Chop-chop.

I call it "Toronto", as it is written, enunciating the ts like a pro -- except when I'm crossing into the USA because I don't want trouble from the US border guards. Then I need to sound like the rest of the illiterate hicks that infest this city lest I be singled out as something else.

Also, while I'm at it, Canada, say the following words for me, please: "Kilogram", meaning 1000 grams of mass "Kiloliter", meaning 1000 liters of volume "Kiloparsec", meaning 1000 parsecs of distance "Kilohertz", meaning the count of 1000 of something per unit second of time "Kilojoule"...

"Eff Zee Arr" sounds perfect. "Zee Ecks 6,9,10,14,2389573479569,whatever" also sounds perfect. Perfectly perfect, as just perfection intended. "FAY-zer", after all, not "F'zd-er". All built with aluminIUM bodies, I believe. but I could be wrong about that.

I have lived in Canada for nearly 100% of my life. I spell things the "American" way, if you want to call it that, dropping unnecessary letters in "color", etc. The "k" in "knife" and "knowledge" both piss me off because they are logically stupid. I pronounce it "aluminium", because that's its...

He called it "alumium" first, then changed it to "aluminum", then settled on "aluminium" finally.

In defense of the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust, the entire civilized world calls it "aluminium" with the exceptions of Canada and America (as far as I'm aware). All of the metals on the periodic table of elements that end in "um" end in "ium", with the only universal exception being...

Or you could run it down half way and swap them then.

That crap is a primarily North American trait, these days. There's still respect and civility elsewhere in the world.

I know a redhead Greek.

Hate to break it to you, but the plates are probably stolen and likely won't lead to any useful clues, either. Best defense against theft is a shotgun.

They load bikes into minivans and drive off. The motorbikes are never turned on. Total waste of time with severe exposure risk. A bike can be easily lifted by 2 guys -- they don't even have to be meathead types to get it into a van.

Thieves don't steal bikes like they steal cars. Bait bikes only work if cops are literally watching the bike 24/7.

Stop, just stop. I had this problem 4 years ago and I solved it very easily, and it had never even once returned since. Take off your air box. Open your air box. Look for an oily residue on the inside of it. If it's there disconnect ALL your vacuum lines one by one, clean them out with a pipe...

This came off a 2006 F150, but with a bit of a modification could be made to fit pretty much any truck. Outer width on the mounting tube is 63.5" tip to tip, but can be shortened easily on both ends. Made of steel, and replaces your entire tailgate in a few seconds, and folds securely on the...

I know, about highways vs actual mass transit, it was illustrative. Also, I'm aware of TBMs. But as you said, TBMs cost gazillions, and the reply was about saving costs. I'd prefer usage of TBMs, myself, for getting it done some time this century.

There is still some room on the sides of most of the 400-series highways for widening. The land was purchased with this in mind, originally. If you claim we're out of 2-dimensional surface space (I agree, 2-dimensional surface space is limited), expand to three dimensions. Highways *are* mass...

Bingo, wider roads and more lanes are exactly what's needed, actually. What's this about me influencing you to forgo helmets and safety gear? I'm only suggesting viable methods to make getting around great again, I never said anything about safety gear or Volvos. In non-satirical response to...
