Hoods must have either crumple zone space between the hood and the engine, or have poppers that pop the hood up at the hinges so that when a pedestrian is hit, they don't contact the engine. A good friend of mine has been a car designer for years. That's how he explained it to me (or that's...

In my opinion it isn't the engines that have sterilized cars, it's the lack of manual transmissions, and the bloat due to safety measures. Pedestrian friendly hoods, more airbags than radio presets, and the limitless lengths of wire for everything add a ton of weight. I understand the...

It's just a regular tire machine to mount motorcycle tires. Balancing is a different story.

The emergency roadside towing is just that, for emergencies on currently registered vehicles. So I'm not surprised they didn't tow you. That said, they shouldn't use up one of your tows if you didn't use up one of your tows. Renting a motorcycle trailer is your least expensive option assuming...

Was Bogie having a track day this weekend? Someone there surely is setup to dis/mount tires.

I wish I could unwatch that.

They have douche vests to keep them safe.

A few years ago when Michigan repealed it's helmet laws a study by Michigan's DOT came out with helmet statistics. In the end, helmet use makes virtually no difference. There were a few more dead people, a few less crippled people, but on the whole, there was no correlation indicating helmets...

At least he took the tire warmers off.

Clothing life cycle Nice t-shirt -> work t-shirt -> garage work t-shirt -> rag -> garbage

Seems counter productive. Drive up close so you can read a sign that says stay back.

Or put a reminder in your phones calendar that you need to renew. Or just sign up on the website to send you a reminder.

I just renewed a few weeks ago and motorcycles are most definitely not exempt. I agree with Jampy, head over to Service Ontario.

When you're too stupid to improvise and need a specific tool for everything you do. Not to mention, going to work, to buy tools, so you can work. Better off sitting at home rather than have a lifetime finance agreement with Snap-on.

This really reminds me of Fun with Dick and Jane. Who the F steals shrubs? You can't eat or smoke them, what in the actual .....?

Check to see the insurance premium difference. If it isn't very much, then don't bother with a 125. A 300 can do highway speeds without a problem, a 125 will require planning to pass a dump truck.

And if you ask for a mortgage at 18, but have the required deposit and can prove 5 years of consistent employment? Also, more people might be inclined to try riding if it wasn't as prohibitively expensive hopefully bringing about economies of scale.

My problem is that all young riders/drivers are grouped together and punished before they have a chance to prove themselves. If/when you cause an accident, by all means get crucified by the insurance companies after the fact, but not before. By the time my son turns 18 and can have a full M...

I don't consider investment in machinery/education/training to be the same as free electricity and gov't subsidies for exported (inferior) goods with restricted wages. In any case, it'll never happen, and, more importantly, it's currently not needed. If the labour shortage is as bad as I've...

I just did a quick online quote for him. 17 with M2 on a 2015 R3 with rider training: $6000 with coverage, $5000 without col/comp. He'll be on an ebike.
