    What are you currently playing?

    Haven't played a lot lately myself, replaying Sekiro currently. Was looking forward to Mina The Hollower for ages, but then when it finally came out I hit a wall and fell off it. The combat is 180 degrees out of phase with what normally makes sense to me Pragmata was good, Saros was great...

    I liked Stray, but I wished they tried a little harder to endear the player to the flying robot thing

    What are you currently playing?

    PS3s in good working condition are valuable. You might be better off just hooking up a laptop to a TV and running emulators on that

    Let's Laugh at my Expense!

    I'm trying to think here... reserve petcocks give you the feeling of running out of gas, but you haven't actually run out yet, so I think I've only actually run out of gas twice. Funny enough both on a current bike, my TL1000S, which has a wonky fuel level sender (ain't no way I'm disturbing the...

    What would trip the main house breaker?

    It definitely wasn't you, while you were fiddling with the generator? :P Otherwise it could have tripped when power came back on, if you had a bunch of stuff with high start-up loads. I don't know what that would be in a house though... did you leave your air compressor, cement mixer, and...

    I'm Going Toronto-Washington DC Bike Trip, What's Your Advice?

    The one time I tried to call AAA it was a miserable experience. I literally could not convince the rep on the phone that Secaucus, New Jersey was a real place

    I'm Going Toronto-Washington DC Bike Trip, What's Your Advice?

    The zip ties and lockwire are for if something unexpected happens. Maybe the bike tips over in a parking lot, maybe a bolt vibrates loose and disappears. They don't take up much space and they are extremely useful to have in a pinch. The phone number for the consulate is a half-joke. The USA is...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Prestone and Recochem vehicle-specific coolants are all identical except for the colour. That's the only difference I'm NOT saying that's the only difference in the OEM coolants...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    A Hindle full exhaust system I bought some years ago came with this awesome welded steel hook thingy for installing the springs. I used it all kinds of spring pulling for years, then I broke it I think using it trying to remove some crusty springs off a drum brake. Oops

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    The "problem" is that regular off the shelf "green" coolant today is different than it was 20 years ago. Today, you can put Prestone "All Vehicles" coolant into pretty much anything. I happily use it in my bikes.

    Getting bike from Algonquin area to TO - Best Option

    I rode a ZX-11 from North Carolina back to Toronto without using the front brake at all after it developed a wicked vibration. That said, I GUESS older and wiser me wouldn't recommend it. Have you gotten any quotes for a flatbed tow? Won't be cheap, but maybe still feasible No friends or...
