Build your own track at the farm. Saves on all the commuting. Furfari family used to have a go-kart track behind their house in vaughan. It would also work well for small bikes.

Without profit, I suspect most politicians will instantly lose any interest in speed cameras. They like to bang the safety drum to justify their existence but it is 100% about the graft.

Was in Niagara for a few days with the family. Going from my normal ~6k steps per day to 15-20k for multiple days apparently flared up something I didn't know I had. Doctor google indicates bilateral peroneal tendinopathy or sinus tarsi syndrome. Doh. Time to go see a physio and get some help...

That depends imo. When I was getting prices to re-shingle, the "best" company was more than double the company I went with (I was happy with the company I went with, the two owners were on the tools). They did some things differently (eg scaffolding entire house) but imo, most of the price...

IIRC he liked it so much he already had a newer one as a replacement. Sold the old one as he didn't need two identical.

Is that a prank? Everybody hates thieves. Try that in canada and you would get handfuls of charges (and likely convictions) for the "prank".

I think it is ask for help from a competent person if you are confused. The collection of words they used to convey that thought are pretty bad.

Do you have a piece of pipe approximately the right size? Easy enough to make the prongs with a hacksaw

Imo mostly because they have no desire to change. Hire goons that will fall in line and put blue in front of the law. Hiring smart, well adjusted people would threaten the largest gang in north America.

I know of a stretch of road near me where residents were constantly hassling council to slow down traffic. Council installed effective speed humps. Immediately the residents were up in arms that the speed humps required them to slow down too much. They wanted speed control measures that limited...

Another electric school bus burned up. This has made the news a few times within the last year (IIRC, at least one in Ontario and this one in QC). I have not idea on rate as diesel bus fires wouldn't get as much attention but there can't be too many electric school busses on the road so multiple...

It's been that way for many years (some of them where you wouldn't see a construction worker during the year). Thankfully, OPP isn't often exploiting that turd for revenue generation. There are more people pushing 172 tickets in those zones than driving at 80 km/h.

A battery that can start my four cylinder car can be "bad" if I rely on it to start my v8 truck. It's all relative. How did the guy test the battery? Load test? Algorithm voodoo (which can be very accurate)? Did we figure out where this bike is yet? A competent troubleshooter that has been...

That's awesome. Check the GVW of the TW200. I assume you plus warm stuff plus gear may add up substantially.

The last time I was on a jetski, I was practicing being right on the edge. Keep the throttle to the bar, lean over until it starts to slip and try to hold on. Too much lean becomes too much slide and it will low side on you. Sit up too quick and it presses the ejector button. Not enough lean and...

You will never ever save $1000 on power. Holy crap. I haven't found most fans to be annoying on low.

For me it depends on price. If I am paying full price, I expect <six months old. If you want to sell me a helmet four years old and new in box, I'm not interested unless price is <20% of msrp. I don't care that it's new, it's most of the way to aging out. In practice, that means I very rarely...

I like to be in control. Tubing your destiny is decided by the driver. My FIL is not easy on passengers in a tube. Last time I was on a tube with him pulling, he ejected my 3 yo so I jumped off so she wasn't alone in the lake.

Just trust and hang on. On topic, I tried kneeboarding again this summer to show my nephew. My first jump in years and I tried to go wake to wake. Landed a little short and a little forward and did my best impression of a submarine. I felt that for days.
