Never noticed a difference between x and o rims or RK and DID for that matter.Any manual I’ve ever seen in the last 50 years says to use good old 90 weight gear oil on your chain.Anything else is a waste of money.That’s what I have always used. Your just really protecting your chain from...

Anyone go to the Heatwave Music Festival at Mosport in 1980? and yes that’s John Roberts from Fox News interviewing the bands.

… back to motorcycle history. I was at this race in 1982. I watched this entire thing being filmed by CTV over the course of the weekend. Lang Hindle lived near me and was just starting his business out of his garage in Scarborough near Kingston Rd. and Midland. Art Robbins, now deceased, lived...

I was shopping for a new bike in 2008 and had it narrowed down to a Honda ST1300 or a BMW 1200RT. I got a killer deal on the ST1300 that I just couldn’t turn down. I always regretted not getting the BMW after riding one.

German engineering in the haus! Awesome bike, you’re going to love it.

Motorcycle history was my favourite subject in high school.There was a guy in my neighborhood in the early seventies that had a ‘73 Z1. Whenever he rode down the street people stopped what they were doing to watch him go by. I’ve never seen any other bike or car that had that kind of effect on...

I spray foamed the rim joists in my unfinished basement and the building inspector made me put drywall 2’ minimum around the perimeter of the basement. Guess it depends on the inspector. Unless the garage is not considered living space and there is a fire separation between the garage and living...

When you look at the cost per sq.ft.’ Of housing in the GTA, finishing your garage to make it usable year round is a good investment and a no brainer to me.

If you’ve got open rafters you can spray foam the underside of the roof sheathing and have all that storage space up there but only if it’s a detached garage. If it’s attached the spray foam is required to be covered with a non combustible material, typically drywall.

Having a heated,insulated garage has always been a priority for me. Not really hard to do and can be done over time as your budget allows. I’ve done a few over the years. I always start with a decent insulated door, a bit of wiring and a bag of insulation as your budget and time allows. In a...

That’s how you know you married the wrong woman.

Not getting women with your motorcycle is a pretty good indication that you bought the wrong bike.

I did work for Mila Mulroney years ago. Very attractive woman but she had this “Do you know who I was “ attitude about her. I know exactly what you mean.

Yes they definitely had their sweet spot, the power came on hard an fast and dropped off the same way. My brother had a ‘72 with J&R chambers ,3 seperate K&N filters and carbs dialed in by someone that knew how. Huge improvement over stock.

Can’t beat GP Bikes

Fun fact, the gear pattern was 5 up on an H2. No pesky neutral between first and second gear to screw up your block long, multi gear wheelies.

You guys obviously didn't grow up in Scarborough. If you tried to bang off your rev limiter on an H2 (there wasn’t one) you would end up with a blown head gasket and a puddle of oil and gears at your feet. Those things were about as disposable as a Bic lighter, that’s the reason there are so...

Within reason but how does does doing a nice wheelie down your street or or the occasional burnout harm anyone? In the ‘70’s leaving your buddies house and doing a nice 2 or 3 gear wheelie on your Kawasaki H2 was standard operating procedure, no harm no foul. I fear this generation will never...

I’m currently on an extended holiday in the Southwest States and it’s allowed me to catch up on read my reading. Next book on the list is George Orwell’s “1984”. I’ll let you know how it ends.

It’s a slippery slope when you allow allow that level of surveillance and power by your own government. In China that fine would have been removed from his bank account/social credit score before he got home and parked his bike. Is that the kind of world you want?
