I'm sure many of you here are involved in the skilled trades, so I'm just posting to see if some of you may be willing to share some of your experiences / thoughts about the industry, how to get into it (is now even a good time to get into it?), and what I should expect and consider while making...

Honestly, If things keep going like this in the GTA, I will just have to get a move on regarding altering my career prospects and run for the hills to a different city/town/village/hamlet. I've been liking the city less and less as the days go by anyways - the only thing keeping me here is my...

Yikes good to know.. When I rented my last place (november 2020) I had to deal with a real estate agent for the first time. Place was listed considerably below market but I guess LL didn't wanna do the legwork himself. I was familiar with the house the unit was in so I was already 100% taking...

Just making sure I got it right, are you saying realtors will under-price rental units they are working with the same way they do with houses for sale in order to engage people in bidding wars? I know that's a thing that happens in house sales, but I haven't heard of that happening in the rental...

If Rental Bidding Wars are any sign, then it seems people are making a hell of a lot more money here than I could have ever imagined. No idea who can afford to bid $700 OVER asking price on any apartment... yikes...

Just a quick update! 1) Bike is not doing the stalling thing anymore - though that might be because it's warmer outside and the engine doesn't get stone cold these days. 2) I replaced the pilot jet, which might've done something, might've not. Still does the low rpm bog slightly. Definitely a...

Understood. Thanks! Might try it out. How does it behave on the highway?

Is riding while standing on the pegs considered a stunting charge???? Jesus... I constantly do that in traffic to see ahead.... F***!!!!!

I like the GPS idea too. the DUI parallel you made before is very rational and I would 100% vote for this.

My only issue with this is that fines aren't proportional to income. Work a minimum wage mcdonalds gig and are running late to work and get pulled over? That might be half a months pay. Get a speeding ticket in your 911? You probably don't give two S***s Not to mention the insurance hit :/ If...

Agreed re e-bikes. I hope there's some way to enforce their BS more strictly... I'm also interested in the permanent license suspension for 4 stunt charges. Not sure if it was a thing they did before? I've always hoped for an option for permanent license suspension in Canada, as some people...

Good to know standard HD tubes are still workable! I see Michelin has "Street" and "Offroad" tubes available in sizes for my KLR. But the "Offroad" are only available in UHD, so I think I will go for "Street" in the future. Also still don't understand the abbreviated nomenclature for Michelin...

Please delete if this was posted already, though I didn't see it on this sub. READ HERE "Licence suspensions also increase if you’re convicted of the charge. For your first offence, you’re without your licence for a minimum of one to three years; for your second, it’s a minimum three to 10...

Seems slime red is for tubed, and blue seems to be tubeless and non-highway? Did they change the lineup maybe? Seems red is the one to get now.

What are your thoughts on the Motion Pro Bead Breaker / Levers?

How much should I be looking to spend on a tube? Any brand specifically that you recommend / is widely recommended?

So I'm in the market for a new set of tires, and some irons etc while I'm at it to learn to change them on my KLR650. Seems like buying tubes is in a way even more complicated than looking for tires! So many different thicknesses of rubber, and so many different way companies measure them...

I commute to work 5 days a week. It's a short ride, but it counts(?). Do the odd late night rip in the city when traffic dies down. Try to do a nice ride every weekend, though not many friends riding much these days so I don't go out every weekend. Like to go with one other person usually -...

Studio Cycle sells Dyneema blended denim. Forgot what the brand was, but they looked nice! Edit: Company is called "Zin". Studio is the only place I know that sells them, so I am not sure of the brand reputability...

Idle circuit may be an issue. When I had it disassembled I know the U-Ring or O-ring on the idle enricher circuit was starting to come apart - maybe that's causing problems. Thinking that may be the problem. Might replace it and see what happens. All the diaphragms seem good on the idle circuit...
