Blame boomer and Gen X lawyers / elected leaders. Kids don't make these rules. I was given a participation trophy every year in hockey. It was boomers giving the trophies. Us kids all knew they were worthless.

I was just looking for liability. Paying for a little slip to make road legal. Certainly no intentions of trying to make a claim. At this point I haven't touched the project in over a year. It was the most boring motorcycle I'd ever ridden.

There was an insurance broker from Ottawa that was recommended to me who specializes in custom bike insurance. I've lost his info now but can dig it up if someone needs it. He said that if I get an appraisal done and am willing to move my home, auto, etc, to whoever agrees to insure it then he...

I would imagine the PP would work with WEF just like Harper did. Just like every Canadian leader has since it started. It's a forum for national and business leaders to meet and make sure that their economic strategies are aligned. It doesn't mean that he controls everyone that goes to his...

What naysayers am I listening to? I was telling my own experiences and perspective as someone who has personally recycled EV battery packs, sourced recycled cells, designed and built an EV and works in manufacturing/automation for a company that spent $30m building what was supposed to be an EV...

Curious if you would go to the tobacco industry to get your scientific info on cigarettes? Since the cobalt industry is who we should listen to for info on cobalt mining safety. Obviously companies looking for investments in battery recycling are the ones who are saying it's going to happen...

I disagree. We don't have the minerals to build the batteries and motors if everyone decided to switch every gas engine on planet earth to net zero using existing technology. We also don't have net zero ways of mining or manufacturing the existing technology because we don't actually have...

I don't see democratic governments being able to convince people to give up mass produced stuff, go back to chopping wood, de-populate and stop global trade. Essentially "take the world back into caves" as the COP28 host put it. I get that it's not as virtuous as trying to save the world but...

I did a conversion. I rode it to town and back a couple times, got things lined up to register but ran out of ambition before tearing it down to paint, build a battery box, and add signals etc. 1. You need to find a mechanic to give an appraisal. 2. You need a custom motorcycle insurance broker...

1600 /week doesn't mean much. Most Canadian automotive plants are putting out nearly that every day. Ford is still making more Edge's in Oakville everyday on a platform that has payed for it's engineering costs years ago. The edge was scheduled to die this week originally, then it got extended...

Has anyone been to Disney in California? Wife wants to take the kids and I didn't put up a fight based on if we go to Cali as there is better motorcycling near by and super mario world near by which my kids would be most into.

I can't imagine it would be enjoyable trying to open that with an inch of frozen slush after a winter commute. It's hard enough opening the little side doors sometimes.

I'm usually not a "Province must support Toronto because it's the economic hub" kinda guy but realistically I use the DVP and Gardiner second only to 401, 115, 7. So as someone who goes to Toronto as little as possible, (1-2 times/yr) I still use those roads more then 99% of the other...

I usually catch that one on my Thursday lunch hour on the radio. No need to pod cast. It's extremely interesting even for someone like me not into business/marketing.

I think this is what happens when governments ask insurance companies for ideas on lowering insurance rates.

I missed the end of that sentence I guess. Why does the deal that I have with my insurance company affect my ability to seek compensation from others? How is it that they made insurance in Ontario more f'd up?

If the other driver is at fault, I'd imagine you could still take them to court to recoup the costs?

As was noted with MP considering ending his motorcycle riding; full time work + being a modern father to small children doesn't leave much time for hobbies. I had a couple buddies over in the summer and both had their wives out of town for multi day work trips while they were working full time...
