    Motel & Hotel Stays

    My sister is good at this. She gets a price then says to the guy "we'll be here x days, we don't need any service beyond fresh towels and I'm paying cash can you do it for XYZ" She often gets a smoking deal. Of course that only works if you're riding a particular for a number of days. The...

    Affordable thin-walled spark plug sockets

    What chance? It's not like a bad plug is catastrophic. I was changing plugs thru the winter in my old 2 stroke sled, but now that I think about it I can't really recall when I last changed plugs on a 4 stroke. Good chance my KLR with 60,000km on the clock has the original plugs.

    Affordable thin-walled spark plug sockets

    Do iridium plugs even need changing? At about 197,000 I pulled the plugs on my Echo only to think I was wasting time and money. Even at 197K they looked fine. I don't touch plugs in the car any more.

    Motel & Hotel Stays

    Squeeze and I just winged it at the end of the day. We didn't have GPS to help find motels so we sometimes just rode on to the next town. Never had an issue.

    When he said it's quiet I was like "well that's not really important since I always ride with the visor up"

    Inglis has it for $789 but will honor the 20% off for the sale they on mext week. He has a size small with HJC but the medium felt much better today with the AGV.

    AGV helmets

    Was shopping for a lid today and found the AGV K6 ($632) . It's a carbon fibre helmet so it's quite light and best of all I can get it in plain white. One of the few makers whose willing to paint CF it appears. Anybody got one? Any good reason not to pull the trigger?

    Canada Post - Huge losses

    I have the same thoughts about the mint. What's the cost each time they bring out a new a quarter? Why do we need 50 different quarters?

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Fired up the drag wing for the first time. Once it wakes up it seems to go. The straight pipes arn't too obnoxious. I expected worse. Other than the tailpiece and a few minor finishing touches it's done. That smoke at the end doesn't worry me. I used grease to hold the exhaust gaskets in place...

    I get your point but the with people bailing on amerikkka in droves this summer it's not the least bit hard to believe.

    Any Movement on Price

    Could be seeing a big uptick in the price of RVs as everyone decides to go camping instead of head to the US. A buddy just bought a trailer and the salesman was saying sales have been brisk.
