    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Cops aren't too concerned about stats like that. They don't even track some really important things. I suspect that if it was tracked, every non-factory plate location/angle would end up in the altered plate category. Since that is 90% of bikes on the road, the police would say that 90% of the...

    #$%@ GP Bikes just made my life harder

    You missed galling. Shouldn't be the case here but if you ever end up in that situation, it's a miracle if you can save one part. Often both end up in the garbage.

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Also known as assault if a DA had the stones to bring blue in line (and by that I mean treat them as a normal citizen when they are clearly acting outside of their authority). They'd have to be on their way to a new job though as they'd never get a conviction again as team corruption tanked all...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    $268 with the battery is not awful. I get annoyed using the >15 lb chainsaw for brush and while a pruning blade on a recip saw works ok for attached wood, cutting loose pieces down with it sucks.

    #$%@ GP Bikes just made my life harder

    I haven't seen his situation but I often find myself using paper or tinfoil to make disposable chutes/deflectors/funnels when manufacturers made life difficult for me.

    Dry sump or just chaos? If you had a klr, you could just turn it over to get the oil out.

    #$%@ GP Bikes just made my life harder

    They are great. I am not convinced about much of the pricing. There is some copper in them but they are pretty simple. Many hover around $300+ which seems steep. Most are 100-200 if you buy from China. Still seems steep but probably the cheapest path for most people to cherry red (shaman should...

    Maybe before. Now it looks like he has a cylinder for the socket to grab on to.

    Your First Motorcycle Was a ............?

    It's nice looking. Also, nothing wrong with carbs.

    Anyone into gardening here?

    Can't entirely tell. Looks like crab grass. It's hell. Pull it all. Spray with vinegar and soap if you don't want to bend over. It makes tons of seeds and spreads fast. You can get selective chemicals from the states to control it but they are banned in Ontario unless you are a golf course or...

    Dealers and Trust

    At the time I was under warranty. Yes, you can get work done while under warranty elsewhere but goodwill warranty is real and can be very valuable if needed. The less bones you threw the dealer, the closer your warranty coverage is to letter of the law. Once warranty is over, it is very rare my...

    Dealers and Trust

    Fwiw, I had a dilawri dealership tell me the same thing. I replaced the brakes 18 months later and they were still well over 3mm. Lying thieves.

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Those running around screaming and taking video need a punch in the head. Maybe images of morons trying to profit from tragedy should be spread like the brantford boomer to get the societal backlash they deserve. Huge respect to those that did what they could to help.

    #$%@ GP Bikes just made my life harder

    I think he had gp bikes do a previous service and he thinks they screwed up the install (hopefully too tight and not cross threaded).

    Interesting. If you can get vise grips on that od (without mangling the case), even better.

    #$%@ GP Bikes just made my life harder

    I would be careful with a bolt extractor. That bolt looks soft and you may further reduce the diameter. Can you get an angle to get visegrips on balls tight? Tap them with a hammer and bolt should break free. Option two is weld on a nut. A very distant third option would be a drill.

    Helpful in some situations. In this instance, his bolt looks pretty round. I wouldn't be touching it until I had a replacement in my hand.

    Does Toronto actually have a plan?

    Ebikes? Most have a bike rack to offer your expensive rides up for the thieves.

    R1300 triple black

    I don't think that generation is pretty but I think it is miles better than the current monstrosity. It was utilitarian but had some parallel lines. The new thing seems to have given each part to a separate designer and then they just bolted the whole mess together.

    Does Toronto actually have a plan?

    Most of the 3/4 plex rebuilds don't have a parking spot for every unit. In the rare case they do have parking, it's because they turned the rear yard into a parking lot. Each unit gets a balcony. First floor is often smaller footprint to allow driveway to get to rear yard. I'm not sure what the...
