    And he's gonna get Elon to build it, and somehow... the Mexicans to pay for it ... how bout some mass transit THROUGH the city ... how bout some public housing... REAL public housing (funny thing, when I lived in Vancouver, everyone called public housing Ontario Housing). We used to do public...

    Tire pressure gauges

    Yamaha, among others, played with "air suspension". Use air volume as a spring, use pressure to adjust preload (works GREAT on paper... sucks in practice) The Gold Wing iteration wasn't TOO bad, (IIRC) it would run 10-12psi, not SO bad (a pressure gauge like almost everything used to measure, is...

    2025 Yamaha YZF-R1 And YZF-R1M

    I don't think the real reason they dominate MotoGP is the same reason you think they dominate MotoGP... but that just might be me Nissin AND Tokico brake companies are 50% owned by Honda, so is Showa suspension. Hitachi Astemo is the parent company Ever heard of AdeLin brakes? Chinese...

    Time for a new ride... (ideas welcome!)

    When ya google hooligan moto, or stupid hooligan moto: it returns a bunch of KTMs, Ducatis and the odd Husky. NAH I meant something like a XR650 with a desert motor kit, or a CR500 stuffed in a "street" frame, and road suspension and tires Something MENTAL. 100hp in a 300# bike I want to build...

    Time for a new ride... (ideas welcome!)

    Ever ride a "full on hooligan moto"? Range ain't a consideration. The fuel will last longer than you will. T'is physically demanding. ... the cops would be on ME in about a minute and a half. As long as it's not a prolonged chase....

    More money than brains......

    Now just to argue with myself: When the paint/printing on your plates falls off, becomes unreadable: if the plate is less than 10 years old, they replace it free... if it's older, you pay for new plates and registration HUH???? ...it's not mine to replace

    More money than brains......

    The province owns the plates, they're not yours to sell, give away or transfer in any way... or take to Australia Pretty sure you could transfer a personalized plate, but it would take a long time. In Ontario, like other places, you register a vehicle with a plate from the year the vehicle was...

    Anatomy of a crash: ‘We just happened to be on motorcycles’

    The "panel" does not nominate inductees, the "panel" votes on induction. Join the Hall of Fame, and nominate him... someone has to nominate him (I don't think the "panel" can nominate inductees, that would create a conflict of interest)

    Anatomy of a crash: ‘We just happened to be on motorcycles’

    Has anyone nominated Mr. Harris for the hall of Fame? There's a process

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    True, but for us motorcycle folks, TIG is infinitely more useful. Not easy? nothing is easy. It is "easier" to bodge two steel plates together with a MIG than a TIG, but it's not welding. I've got a pulse AC/DC... and using pulse on steel feels like cheating... it's comparatively EASY (I grew up...

    Sending money to USA??

    It would help in the conversion to USD, won't help getting the money to them. You'd need a USD account IN the US. Paypal will be the easiest, or Venmo. If you go through the bank you'll pay for the transfer, about $32 for me, plus conversion fees.

    EBC brakes

    Canadian Tire now sells Brembo... not bike stuff, but still, I think that says something

    EBC brakes

    I'll tell ya it's one of those things that difference between: the very best and NOT the very best, isn't much... all things being equal (< let's get ahead of that interweb argument NOW) We spend way too much time and effort on "BEST" Some guy from William's Racing: "Our quality ranges from...

    EBC brakes

    No real preference in pads, OEM usually works well with OEM parts. EBC makes... er ...SELLS good rotors, some of the best readily available, better than OEM usually. EBC knows brakes. EBC has a 330mm rotor for "old" TZs... COOL, I want some. Canada is serviced by EBC-USA. EBC-USA doesn't stock...

    Now that was slick.

    So funny thing eh? The newer the system (that has security built in from the ground up) the less secure it is compared to a plain old telephone service (known as POTS) that was built with ZERO consideration to security. They'll be passing folded paper notes soon. The company that made the...

    2025 Yamaha YZF-R1 And YZF-R1M

    You've conveniently left out ego and emotion... which sells more super sports than anything else. If you wanna tell me your "winglets" make you a better rider, be prepared to get laughed at
