Should, but won't... Charles has spent 70ish years waiting for his chance to be in the big-boy chair - he won't abdicate it; and that's a shame, as replacing 98 year old with a 73 year old will do nothing to bring excitement or energy or relevance back to the Monarchy.

Zero surprise here, MM - same type of riders run the QEW between Hamilton and Niagara pretty regularly - splitting and taking the shoulders - on SS, full leathers head to toe, full face bucket with a blacked out visor... A close second are the guys that use the space between the HOV and...

NOTL is one kind of headache - Clifton Hill (in the Falls) is a different kind - people will dead-ass stare you in the eye as they step infront of you... I had one guy step out between two parked cars, and slap the SIDE of my truck (because, I was already partway past him before he appeared)...

I used to work at a building just west of Union station... there was an alley between the building and the skywalk that lead to my building's parking entrance - when the trains were dumping, the lemmings were completely oblivious; just strolling down the middle of the roadway. I was in a 1t...

LSM plates are white on green, vs blue on white for MC plates - it was an MC plate (or an attempt at one, anyways)

Was driving on the QEW the other day (Burlington area) - Scooter in the slow lane, doing 30 under the limit; full on Dumb & Dumber style... Had an MC plate on it, but didn't look right, and no way it was bigger then 50cc, based on the size of it. I wanted to get a pic, but couldn't in time...

I've been camping for most of my life... tents, tent trailers, and travel trailers. Some thoughts, in no particular order: - The towing limits of the Odyssey will tie your hands greatly - not just the weight, but also surface area of the trailer... Cross-winds & head winds won't be kind to...

You're not alone in not riding much this season... For a few reasons (mostly health related - I have some heart issues that have been kicking my ass a little more then usual) - I've put maybe 250km on this year; and questioned if the ongoing costs (insurance & maintenance) are worth it. I...

A corporation is a legal entity; so there's no reason why the bike couldn't be owned by the business... now as has been mentioned up thread; insurance may be a different animal. All my company vehicles are owned by the corporation - all the drivers (or potential drivers) are on file with my...

Sena 20S here - partly because my HJC lid was pre-configured for the Sena system; and mostly because since I ride solo most of the time, compatibility wasn't an issue. Pairs fine with the BMW Nav VI, and with my phone... I get voice prompts, listen to music, and can receive phone calls no...

BMW has launched the CE line - kind of a motorcycle/scooter hybrid, though...

Not really, no... LOL Was hoping to get out and grab my first tag today; but man - that's a stumper!

Just to thread-jack..... I see Trail Tours is doing dual-sport courses now. Which as a newer rider, with a Dual Sport/Adventure bike, seems like an obvious fit. Plus it's like 20 minutes from my father in law, so getting the wife to sign off would be an easy sell... Anyone done the Dual...

I spent 3 months working in Radium, years ago... There and Osoyoos are two of my favourite places in the world. Banff is gorgeous, but too spendy for my blood.

To be fair, there's about 175 places along the manufacturing and supply chain that a lid could be dropped; that's why it's so important to properly inspect the ACTUAL one you're going to buy, rather then just grab the box off the shelf...

QFT - the store can sue you for the damaged item; but they cannot force you to pay, nor can they detain you until you pay...

My Broker got back to me, and I was pleasantly surprised... Rates dropped by 30% or so! Still going to shop around, but at least I know where I stand now.

Used are insane right now - and in 6 months, the market will be flooded, IMO... If you absolutely need something for the road trip - rent.. but buckle up. Prices are up 30-50% over a year ago, and supply is way down - reserve early if you do go that route.

As a guy who lives in Niagara, and takes the QEW regularly; the number of rice rockets (mostly Honda's with J-spec stickers plastered all over them, BMW's that must eat a set of tires a week they've got the camber so cranked, and the occasional Mazda or Subaru) - that I see blasting up the...
