    That appears to be for cars. Here's what I found for motorcycles: https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/900611#BK8

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Yep. Wonder if the pricing for that inspection accounts for all the stuff that doesn't need doing with an EV. Dealers don't always have it together ... on the Bolt facebook groups, we have a chuckle when the dealers send out their form letter reminders with a coupon for an oil change. I...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Screenshots just look like an inspection checklist, and the cost items pertained to tires (and nothing else) which were "attention in the near future". That is a very extensive checklist. There's a whole lot of stuff on that checklist that have nothing whatsoever to do with an EV. Why is...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    That's a troll post (of which there are many), but anybody who buys a Porsche (of any sort) in order to have low running costs, is out of their mind. I can count on one hand the number of times the hood of my Bolt has been opened (just short of 70 000 km right now). A couple times to see what...

    latest on the new Safety Cert Drive On program...

    I'm more concerned with the overreaction - perfectly functional aftermarket parts being rejected because "they're not stock", and IF ... THEN ... enforcement of trivial matters that have no bearing on the vehicle being "safe" in the grand scheme of things. Lots of older bikes may become...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    I've done this on other bikes, just not this one. It'll be the same idea: Engine out (means exhaust, cooling system, chain, all electrical connections, throttle bodies have to come out or be disconnected first - you might get away with disconnecting the throttle bodies and leaving them in the...

    Timing is everything

    Kleptocratic kakistocracy to the south of us. Crypto allows foreign entities who want to bribe the USA to do it in a way that escapes accountability.

    Motorcycle safety options

    House-call safety inspections are not legal. IMO have a discussion with your preferred shop, and ask them whether the upcoming changes to the system are going to have an effect, and ask THEM what date you need to have it done by, in order to have it done in advance of any issues or cost...

    No laws against headlights

    GM got the headlight switch right. The "auto" position is next to the "off" position, the switch spring-loads back to "auto" if you select "off" (which normally there's never a reason to do, but it's there if you insist) and on the Canadian models, even if you turn them "off", it goes back to...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Building cars is hard. Arrival went bust about a year ago. Some chap bought up some of the leftovers and has been tearing them down ... revealing some questionable and expensive design decisions under the skin. edit: Random automotive mechanical design-nerd observation. Upper and lower...

    Dunlop Sportmax Q5S

    Street bike, ZX10R. I found that the Q5S lasts longer and holds its profile better (longer) than the Q3+ did before the steering starts getting messed up.

    What happens if KTM goes bust?

    My money is on a piece of KTM being bought by each - covering the KTM models that each of those companies already builds. I don't know what happens to the KTMs still assembled in Austria. Or what happens to the KTM nameplate.
