Its not strictly a touring bike but I've done over 300k on my R1200GS and it has not let me down... yet :unsure: I had to replace the clutch but that's been the only major expense so far. I did it myself and it took 12 hours as you basically have to split the bike in half. Not difficult, just...

(y) ALU was a great company. I was actually part of Velocix when ALU acquired us. I really enjoyed my time there. It's one of the things I wish I could do all over again

I haven't worked for Huawei but we did a joint project for CDN and Targeted Video Advertising for MQM in Indonesia and I could see that they would be very hard to work for. Its all push, push, push and "Damn the Torpedoes" or you are gone. I still prefer that to Ericsson though. I just found...

I worked for Ericsson for two years after they acquired us - I had to to get my money - and they are probably the worst RAN infrastructure providers in the world. Worst company I ever worked for as well. If I were Borje I would probably throw myself off the highest building in Kista, but...

It’s interesting that people were so concerned about masks and COVID protocol. If it was more of a full service thing, what about risk of AIDS, syphilis, gonorrhea and the 10 other diseases that you could potentially pass around... LOL

Maybe it’s just me but I don’t get the whole stop and ID thing As an example, if I decide to have some work done on my bike - which is obviously not essential - throw it in the back of the truck and am pulled over by the cops on the 401 what happens. I assume I give them my ID, explain what...

LOL. You can’t even make stuff like that up

When I first read the headline I had visions of people trying to hold it in... LOL. Much worse than being stuck in traffic after a large bran muffin and a big coffee ;)

Are you close to Dorchester? A friend that races in the VRRA had a few heads rebuilt by Tanner at Sibs Powersports. He said he did a good job. He lives in Ailsa Craig so it was close.

Yikes... I went and streamed some of today's news from CTV. Is it really that bad? Seems like a combination of no vaccine - or at least too little too late - and a lot of people just flouting good advice from all tiers of public health. What about SOAR, RACE, VRRA, etc. Have they had to...

^^^ This...(y)

Thanks Crankcall. I guess sooner or later you either have to accept that the vaccine worked or it didn't. They think that almost everyone who wants the vaccine has already got it and numbers are plummeting so its at least looking very positive at the moment. I had the Pfizer so they are...

Well, another good sign that things are getting back to somewhat normal... The NBA opens its doors again to fans. Managed to get 2 tickets to Golden State V's Denver on the 23rd. It's only half seating capacity but still. I've been going crazy in the house. Its just a pity Golden State sucks...

OMG. Depression is a horrible thing. RIP Jamie, I hope you have found peace now.

Well done. in the last 3 months we’ve dropped from 120 new cases/day/100k population to less than 5 new cases/day/100k population. The vaccine has really made a huge difference. Hospitals are even starting to open back up for elective procedures They think that pretty much everyone who wants...

True. I was looking for replacement value. Although I remember getting a quote from Dalton Timmis a few years ago and they said I only needed an appraisal if I wanted theft or comprehensive.

Just based on my experience its worthwhile to find someone who knows about Motorcycles. I recently had a RD350LC done and the first guy came back with $850. He got $60 for pulling a number out of his ass and got offended when I pulled up some Ebay listings that had just sold. The second guy was...

74 years married. That's something I'm just coming up to 27. I don't think I'll see 74

That's an interesting point. Here, anyone over 18 is now eligible for the Vaccine and they have been vaccinating the 20-29's for the last few weeks. I would expect to see a big drop in young people heading into the second half of this month. Fingers crossed.

I had one back in the day. It was a good bike and that 3 cylinder was smooth but they do have some common problems. The 76/77 had points and the carbs were quite hard to set up. The 78-> bikes had electronic ignition and upgraded carbs and were much easier to set up and stayed in tune. it’s...
