Thanks! Yes that bench is sketchy as F. Was built many years ago before kids were on the horizon. We find it super tight when we’re all there and want additional space. In all honesty removing that and replacing it with a proper railing would give at least 1-2 ft.

Looking to extend a deck at the cottage about 2-4ft so it still stays under the roof. Thoughts on best / quickest approach? I don’t want to tear the whole thing down as it supports a roof to prevent rain / snow coming down.

Funny how it’s typically people from the same culture that take the most advantage of their own.

That is one gorgeous bike! Congrats! @Jayell how’re these things long distance?

Riding on the 401 to/from work literally killed the joy of riding for me. I sold my bike after that, and in 10 years since I commuted exactly 1 day to/from work on the 401. Never again.

They probably knew about it. They just didn't care enough to do anything about it. Because as @FullMotoJacket properly pointed out...just saying the quiet part out loud is racist.

Well said. I'm tossing around the idea of just buying a scrap / project bike to tinker with in the meantime. Nothing overly complicated. Just something to keep in the garage and muck around with when I find some time.

Mrs MP has a VERY different idea on this item...trust me it has been brought up multiple times. I want to buy them a small electric dirt bike / ATV for the cottage...that can be a pathway forward.

Appreciate it and already told my wife. Biggest issue is finding the time to go out your way lol But will remind her again. Thanks!

I am not a fan of the bare bones interior. The Mach-E / Equinox are still top of list for an EV if I can convince my wife that she doesn't need a minivan for 90% of her driving...maybe I should give her the Maverick and I'll buy the EV LOL. In other news...another step closer for Ford EV...

Awesome to hear! And I'm glad I'm not alone in my thinking. Kids are annoying, but they're mine, and they're awesome. I'm continually searching for the next bike, but not with such enthusiasm / urgency as before.

So is it still taboo to be buying Tesla's or is that gone? I'm seeing brand new Model 3s for 40k with the RWD and standard range. Tempting to say the least.

Always wanted to ride, and it made me really happy to go out for a full day ride with nothing to worry about except the road, idiots on the road, and the scenery. No schedules, no timelines, no obligations that needed tending to. Then life happened. Wife, kids, responsibilities. I found...

Shocking abuse of an ill thought out system….shocking I tell you… https://globalnews.ca/news/12006955/india-bishnoi-gang-used-canada-student-visa-program/
