    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    It is. And my Scrambler had multiple occasions where the clutch and brakes disappeared due to the heat in stop and go traffic. Once on Mississauga Rd at train tracks where I kept it idling and all feeling disappeared. Twice on the 401 in high heat and slow stop and go traffic. At least I...

    Skilled trades college

    Connections are a huge part of any success story that anyone that’s ’self made’ is primarily lying. Getting an apprenticeship…need connections as applicants are a dime a dozen and then having the hours signed off is another issue. I’ve never worked in my field of study (aero) but the...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Thanks! I’ve never cleaned a carb before but will keep this up one. Clean it up, and keep it as a spare.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Think I need to replace the carb on an old mower….barely runs like it’s starving for fuel. The motorcycle lift is getting more use now as a work table than it did as a motorcycle lift. Now if only the Amazon driver would show up….any minute now…any minute…

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    I won't mix threads here, but this is a direct failure of the justice system. Catch and release isn't the fault of the cops (most times), but the judges that allow leniency for this type of behaviour. Just goes to show...riders were doing nothing wrong at all, and could've been both killed in...

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

    Wow nice! Thanks for the additional info! Currently seeing rental prices in the $200-300/day range for micro/mini excavators with bucket. The trencher is also an option just need to reach out to a few but the only ones I found had a 36" trencher. Locates ordered this morning, but the next...

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

    My biggest concern is dealing with the roots of 2 very tall (70-100ft) trees.

    Agreed. How a utility is treated is dictated by the owner of said utility. Whether hydro, telecommunication, gas, or water...each utility has their own standards, rules, and requirements for installation. Don't adhere to their requirements...oops...no utility for you. I'm on the hunt for the...

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    It looked like a car was coming off the highway and crossed the median into oncoming traffic right in front of the riders... That's what I gathered from the comments in the post where I pulled the video from. Allegedly a drunk driver.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Too bad. I find the Volvo offerings with Polestar some of the nicest vehicles on the road.

    150ft at approx 42” deep. 36” is cable depth on 6” of sand….which in Wasaga is basically the soil so they’ll accept 36” as long as there’s no rocks / sharp objects at that depth.

    Requirements: Maybe I'll throw a GTAM bbq and trench digging party in Wasaga...

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

    Got an initial quote of 4k for trenching for the upgrade to electrical service at the cottage. Thought I was going to puke... 36in trench for approx 120-150ft (need to route around some trees). Any other recommendations? I can buy a trencher for that price from what I'm seeing online. Can...
