Installing a Level 2 charger at home can get expensive fast... The charger itself can be 2-7 grand depending on the specific make/model and options... Install is very specific to the home/layout - a few hundred bucks if your panel is in the garage; to 10's of thousands if the panel is at the...

Posting here, as I'm not sure where it would best go... Had my M2 for about 2 years now, and thinking about my full M test/course. Did the M1 -> M2 via Learning Curves, would likely do the M through them as well, or possibly Niagara College (since NC is literally across the road from me...

I live just up the street from a college with a large international student population... Their unique driving style has become so normal, it just blends in... Turn right from the left-turn lane? Sure. Turn against the advanced green? Why Not. The roundabout, however, takes the...

The maintenance manuals are available... Kinda. No longer directly from BMW, but through Amazon and eBay, can get PDFs or CD's of the full factory service manual. Parts are easy, if not a little spendy at times - and for tools, other then a couple of specific torx sizes; nothing too exotic...

Given the sad state of some vehicles on the road; I'd be all in favour of safeties as part of the plate renewal process... Getting mechanically unfit cars and trucks off the highway would be fine by me. Unfortunately, GG may be onto something with the per km road tax thing... It's the...

Claire's in Fonthill (I think? it's on 20, anyways) has a few smaller (300-450cc) bikes on their website right now; may be worth going to have a sit on a few of them, to see what you think, and how they feel...

I can top that, for embarrassment... New bike was probably 3 weeks old... Took a 350km ride up to my parents place for lunch. Showed her off; had lunch - was getting ready to leave - they have a drive that slopes down towards the road; but the sidewalk portion is level - walking a U-turn...

A 20+ year friend, and exGF of mine - ended up in the reverse situation... Her new guy rode; got her into it. She passed her courses and took all the training - bought a 600cc bike; the day she picked it up - a 19 year old kid blew a stop sign, and that was that.

As another Niagara rider... you will end up taking the highways more than you may plan on. Trying to cover any kind of distance on back roads/secondary highways takes forever, if only because of the way the roads are laid out, and the water everything has to go around. Jumping on the QEW or...

I'm in the process of requoteing all my insurance right now... 2021 BWM F750GS, 2018 GMC Sierra 1500, 2018 Ford Explorer - nearly 700/mth... My wife's record is clean, mine has a few blemishes, but all 5+ years old; and spotless since. CAA came back at less then 1/3 of what I'm paying now...

The battery AND the bike it's in, both cost way more then the proper charger... buy the proper charger.

RIP Rider... GWS to the passenger.

Elijah Craig is my go-to; for sure... Also enjoy a dram of The Macallan from time to time.

No idea where EvoEx and BigEvil teach at - but I did my M1 through Learning Curves, and can't speak highly enough about them... the instructors love to ride, and love to teach... They had 3 or 4 different styles of bikes to practice and test on; and when I was having trouble with one (long...

https://www.buildingcode.online/section7.html I'm the electrician, not the plumber - but hopefully the above can point you in the right direction... 7.5 is venting.

Thankfully, I work for car-guys... we all part our toys in the back of the warehouse. I fill the tank, throw in stabilizer on the last ride; park it inside, and cover it. Throw a battery tender on it once or twice over the winter. I'm lucky that's an option.. if not, I'd probably go...

Continental is an Exide brand... They have plants in Indiana and Missouri; as well as India. If it's got the Made in USA sticker, then it was most likely made in Missouri.

Didn't scroll back - but just binged a show on Disney+ in two days... "Dopesick" - a mostly true telling of the OxyContin story, from development to the downfall of Perdue pharma... 8 x 1hr episodes - and it was amazing!

I leave mine on an intelligent charger (Battery Tender Jr) - fill it with gas and stabilizer before the last ride; and part it in a climate controlled warehouse... (I'm lucky that I work for car guys - the back 1/4 of our warehouse has Mustangs, a Viper, 2 corvettes, a BMW coupe, a 69 Hemi Cuda...
