I agree that these mowers are very quiet and I don't worry about cutting the grass before 8am on a weekend. I have a corded electric snow blower that I bought when we were in a townhouse for a few years that is equally quiet. I don't believe that an electric snow blower is quite up to the task...

I bought this mower last year at Lowe's. I picked up an extra battery on sale for $100. I'm on a typical 50' sub-division corner lot and one battery will usually do the entire yard; front, back and large side yard. I've run out once or twice when the grass is thick, but a quick swap out of the...

I had them printed out by CAA and will be taking both versions with us, just in case. They are great and give fuel, food and lodging stops along the way. For this trip I changed up the stopping locations on the southbound trip via I-79 (my preferred route) to give us two longer days and a third...

For our last trip to Florida in April 2022 I picked up a TripTik from CAA, as well as paper maps that include the Northeast and Southeast States. We're about to do this drive again and I got another TripTik that shows the I-75 corridor, just in case the weather makes it necessary to change our...

Yes, in several places where the old track allowance crossed town roads. There is a pretty good pile off Dawson just south of Broadway. I'm sure someone would be happy if they disappeared.

The leak is definitely the washer fluid tank. I have a CX3 and that is where mine is located. It extends down almost to the bottom of the fender in front of the wheel. I would expect this damage to be in the $3-4K range for the new bumper skin, washer tank, fender flare, paint and affiliated...

The SO in Orangeville, (NOT the DriveTest), is well run and you can book appointments. I've used it a few times in the past couple of years and with an appointment you're in and out in minutes. The Service Canada on the other hand has line-ups outside on the street all day, every day.

At that price...NO! I feel that the admission price should be no more than $10 or $15 to wander around what is essentially an indoor flea market. Even with the seniors rate is still too expensive because the discount coupon cannot be applied. Prior to the pandemic I would go to this show every...

A 2x6 would be too thick to allow me to get the centre stand up onto it. My bike weighs 297 kg dry, so I'm not lifting that beast too high. It's all I can do to just tip the thing over far enough to roll the dolly under the centre stand. I tip it towards me first because the part of the stand...

Actually as I recall in the news story, the roads were clear and dry on both occasions. I think the first one resulted from a fail to stop at the stop sign. The other as you noted probably speed related, or unsafe pass.

I have a pair of cabinet corner dollies I bought from Princess Auto probably 15 years ago. I searched their site and it appears they don't carry them anymore. The ones I found online at other retailers are over $100 for a pair and I'm positive I didn't pay that much. Anyway, what I do is put...

That's the only issue along there. It get really bad the closer to Dixie you get. I don't have a need to be down that way very much anymore and certainly don't miss the mayhem on the 401 or 410.

Shhh, don't tell anyone. That's my lane! No one else uses it and it's the only safe place to be.

WOW, how the f..k could you not see that huge yellow bar when it's right at eye level.

I also aced my bike test at the 401 / Keele back in 1973. I took mine on a 100cc Kawasaki enduro, so it was very easy:D. A few months later I bought a BSA 650 Lighting.

This has been going on for decades, nothing new here move along. The report says 42% of road tests in Orangeville are by Brampton drivers. I would have thought it was higher by the number of Brampton Driving School vehicles I see around town. We've lived in Orangeville for over 30 years. When...

Don't ride north!

Looks like a whole lot of fun, but don't let that video get into the hands of your local law establishment because that's clearly HTA 172 territory!

Yes, currently pavement markings alone in Ontario are insufficient to mark a "No Passing" zone. To make passing illegal they must be accompanied by a proper black on white overhead sign.

Yesterday was just too nice to not go for a ride! What a beautiful day for November 16th. I think we had snow on the ground last year at this time. I took a little 104km loop to the north and found myself at Terra Nova. That might have been my final ride of the season, we'll see.
