If they do take precautions, they should post them for customers to see and they would have said something to me when I showed concern. They didn’t. All things considered, I’d feel safer at this time if they were wearing something. I expect it and would not be surprised. As I said, none of the...

I agree with everything you said. Gloves are stupid, I still touch my face. We all do, all the time. You can’t help it. Masks are 99% bull crap, useless, false security. I have a beard. I’m not shaving it so a mask works better just to appease you. Don’t tell me to do something to protect...

Currently employers are not required to make staff wear PPE. Fine. Don’t. But I ain’t shopping there for now. I went to the LCBO afterward and all staff on the floor wear PPE. Plus many other stores I’ve been to. I’m just pointing out the logic of their protocol is foolish. I’m more than happy...

A bit of a rant: I’m currently shopping for a new bike. I had the day off today so I stopped at a local dealership. The sign on the door said they are showing bikes by appointment with a salesperson only and customers have to wear PPE in the store. So I phoned from the parking lot and they...

Nice! Great starter bike. My son is dying for a Rebel as his first bike. Even the dealer recommended the 500 over the 300.

I got a ticket in 1979 for “Misuse of Headlights” for flashing a car that was speeding toward a radar trap. Cop did a u-turn and nailed me. I was 18 at the time. Did my reasearch, went to court and had the charges dropped. I did a fist pump and yelled “Yes!” In front of the judge!

As much as I think bikes are made to be ridden, this crated bike has transcended its value as a rideable motorcycle and into collectable territory. It’s a trophy to decorate the boardroom or garage of some lucky, wealthy gearhead. It will increase in value by virtue of its age and unmolested...

Excellent article for those that are willing to improve their skills. One thing I learned many years ago and have never forgotten: Being fast does not make a good rider, being smooth does.

I've generally had good experiences with the medical system except for the long wait times. All my interactions have been the result of injury (broken bones or sports injuries for me and my son) or dealing with palliative care when my late parents were undergoing cancer treatment - they were...

Suzuki uses a letter designation for year of manufacture.

It's not a weird tool, it's a standard piece of equipment If you work on older bikes. I've had mine for decades. Use a rubber mallet. Practice first!

Jump starting a bike off a running car can do all sorts of damage to your electrical system.

I have a Harley - they demand that you constantly throw money at them to add stuff! -4" handlebar risers, changed the ergonomics completely and makes the bike way more comfortable for me. -Quick-release windshield, backrest/luggage rack and saddlebags. Easily convert from city cruiser to...

Of course I rode! Break in ride - downtown, then some highway. A little bit of everything just to get rid of the cobwebs.

I also have mining stocks which have been performing well, but it's nice to look at shiny gold!

I have mutual funds, sticks, etc. Going along for the ride with everyone else. I just bought another gold bar to add to my collection. Gold always goes up and is portable, stashable and cashable.

So much hate! I guess you guys don't like looking at motorcycles or getting together with friends. I do.

I've been putting my bike away every winter for over 40 years. You never get used to it! But I've learned to put it out of my mind and hit the slopes for my fix.

I prefer something I can wear both on and off the bike. Chippewas or any quality solid leather boot at least ankle high. I also wear full-face, armored jacket, leather pants and full gloves. But I can strip all those off and look civil!

Mouting from the right is also done when you are parked along the side of a busy road/highway. Keeps you out of traffic.
