Rona Ambrose - if she can be talked into it. Smart, likeable,experienced, not dragging around any negative baggage.

Many years ago, when the 401 speed limit was 70 mph, the majority of drivers would be between 70 - 80 mph. It got dropped to 60 mph - to reduce fuel consumption ? - and Trudeau went to metric and the speed was bumped a bit, to 100 kph. People still did 70 - 80 mph (120 - 130 kph) - and they are...

Castrol Edge has a 0W-40 synthetic that has no "friction modifiers" in it and while it isn't specifically approved for motorcycles, it is approved for BMW, MB and Porsche, etc. It's made in Germany, so we know it's a Group IV synthetic. CTC puts it on sale quite often. I've been using it in my...

"service person" was blowing smoke. You can switch back and forth all you want - if you are willing to spend the extra for synthetic (assuming it's a POA or POE) then it is a better oil (longer lasting) than the regular stuff. The only real concern with playing around with different oils is...

Re: We know you ride, but do you Shoot? All double stack anything, in .45, have a bit wider grip - not a problem, unless you have short fingers. miggs - use the flat side of a small screwdriver to depress the retaining pin - and the slide release will push straight in. - - - no idiot scratch.

Re: We know you ride, but do you Shoot? Rocker Guy - don't know what your budget is - and I know you said double stack - but - Marstar is selling the Norinco 1911 for $400. I like 1911's too and have a couple of nice ones (not Les Baer nice) and I was never able to bring myself to buy a Chinese...

Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. - you can buy foam tubes in various diameters and lengths - they are split down one side, so you can fit them over the pipe. Use a few zip ties to hold in place. You could also get rad hose from any auto supply place - split it yourself and use zip ties. The rad hose is...

Can't comment on the various options you are looking for - you want what you want. My money is on the Forester. Nobody does AWD better than Subaru - a couple of manufacturers are as good - Audi comes to mind. Nothing holds it's value like a Subaru - except Honda. Toyota's are really close. The...

I was told, many years ago, that radial tire construction was to "flexible" for a two wheel configuration.

Maybe, because I'm an Old Testament kinda' guy - - - sometimes, bad machinery just needs to be returned to the factory.

Getting your RPAL/PAL, simply lets anyone who you tell, or is able to access this information, that you are legally allowed to acquire and own firearms. I expect that Canada's various police agencies, don't have the time or desire, to do random checks on RPAL/PAL holders - anymore than they...

When down-shifting, I pull in the clutch, give a blip on the throttle (this spins up the gear carrier in the trans, so it will slip into a higher ratio gear, without a clunk), shift down and then do rev match thing, as you're letting out the clutch. If you ever spent any time in a car/truck...

I enjoy it every time - I may not shoot it as much as some of my others, but it's still a hoot to run through a box. Reloading takes some of the sting out of the cost. Some of us appreciate the gun for what it is - others, it's lost on.

If you enjoy it, it's useful. You didn't enjoy yours - you were wise to trade it.

Hey Nobbie - Can't help you with over the boarder shopping - the couple of times I tried it, I got screwed over too. So far as your filter search - K&N oil filters are decent filters (wouldn't use their air filters on anything I was going to keep). I believe their oil filters are made by Clarcor...

I have an '03 'Wing and it's still on it's first battery (OEM). When not in use it's connected to a Battery Tender Plus, year round. I ran the plug-in lead from the battery terminals, through the frame, to an unobtrusive, out of the way spot, that's easy to get to. Park the bike, take a couple...

Re: We know you ride, but do you Shoot? Don't have the "Camper" - have an older "Nomad" - and some other Brownings. Most of the Brownings I've come across, have been well made - nice fit and finish. They have a reputation for quality and reliability. None of mine have ever been fussy about the...

Re: We know you ride, but do you Shoot? Okay - I see where you're coming from and I can't fault the logic. I'm pretty much in agreement with what you've said - except the bit about being naive and delusional.

Re: We know you ride, but do you Shoot? Nikki, I'm curious why you, as a female, find that odd. I would think that, as a female - unless you're particularly adept at self-defense - you would see the benefit of "leveling out the field", if you found yourself in a situation against a more...

Re: We know you ride, but do you Shoot? Some of you may find the following, an interesting read. (link: http://bearingarms.com/americas-gunsurgency/) Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of...
