So, as most of the internet now knows, I bought a new tire recently. It's a 130/80-17 dual sport from Korea. It's intended for the back of a big trailie but before I mounted it there I thought I'd put it on the front of my sport bike. I've been toying with the idea of converting it into a...

While toodling around the country side I saw a KTM EXC 300 for sale. I'm only mentioning this because it was blue plated. I understand that's a desirable feature for some. Corner of Brock Rd/6 Conc. n/w of Dundas. There was a contact number so should be ok to post here? I have no affiliation.

I need to pick up a tire out of town. I want to take motorcycle because nice day. Current plan calls for putting it around my waist. Have never done this before, may have seen pics on internet, not sure tho. I don't see a problem. All advises and opinions welcome. Will be leaving in 90 minutes...

It finally happened, opened the visa statement to see charges from Home Depot North York. I only shop Ancaster Home Depot. The Visa card has not left my wallet all year. What's the protocol?:(

Nobody cares but what's the best thing you've ever done? Lifestyle changes - married/kids/divorce, career/sabbatical, health/exercise, hobbies/passions etc. What is the biggest contrast before-after change that makes your life the roaring success it is today?

Let's say hypothetically you're going to a musical performance and gathering at a residence where a spread of buns/cold cuts/possibly cheeses (not Cheezies) will be on offer what is the right colour wine to bring? I hope this question doesn't betray my lack of social graces but if it does bite...

On a quiet paved country road. Parked car on soft shoulder, went for hike. Parking ticket for "Park on Boulevard" Looking up By-Law shows car must be 6 feet from edge of roadway. This is not possible on most country roads I see, have parked many times, never received ticket before. So, are you a...

You're usually fun to argue with but I got nothing. Anyway, I saw the video and I also agree with all the Brians and ex cops and truckers and stuff.

I need to fasten a steel sleeve to aluminum carb body. I have no experience with bonding agents beyond thread locker. Does anybody know of a surefire product so I don't have to rely on product blurbs? Thanks.

LOL, just pulling your leg:p

Isn't that racist?

I think that's called the "broken window effect" I recently saw a well documented documentary about one of the worlds biggest democracies where everybody throws garbage into the street because everybody else throws garbage into the street. In other words once lawless driving reaches a certain...

For carbs and air boots, 8mm wide. Is this strictly OEM or can they be found locally?

Wow, unfortunate. Guilty, I also did not know to come to a complete stop. I rarely see anyone stop and when I do I always consider it a nervous Nelly type response. My bad. I just get out of the way and hold a steady speed. If the emergency vehicle is on the other side of a median I still pay...

Is there such a thing as hassle free, possibly legal, stealth camping on Lake Huron/Georgian Bay shore?

2010 was a glorious year because TDMM gave good premium, Feb. to Feb. coverage with good pro rating system and moving policy around bikes just a phone call away. Do other companies allow moving policy around willy nilly and/or pro rating? This morning I shopped a good quote for auto and bike...

On the phone with TD today I was informed mileage is now used in the formula to determine rates. I always thought it was because, every time I switch bikes around, mileage is a standard question. So how does that work? Are there brackets? What if you go beyond your predicted mileage? Etc.

After bleeding the front brakes some people say to tie the lever back to the bar overnight for best results. What is the theory behind that:confused:

I got a free welding table I have no room for but it's perfect size for the laundry room. I'd like to knock the loose rust off and coat it in the "rust converter". Has anybody used the "rust converter"? Can I use it as a top coat to give it that olde tyme funky look or is this idea just Marvin G.?

It's amazing what you run into on the internet. Get this: there's a movement called "men going their own way" All kinds of informative videos on the youtube. So, anybody around here pussy whipped?
