I’ve never seen one of those.Do they require venting?

I had a 2007 ST1300 that I never really fell in love with.Don’t get me wrong, it was ultra reliable but I always felt like I was a kid driving my dad’s Buick when I rode it. The 2001 VFR 800 I had before that was an absolutely superb motorcycle, I thought that the ST1300 would be more of the...

My longest trip was New Orleans. Watching “Easy Rider” years ago inspired me to do that trip and no, I didn’t drop any acid on the way.

The 3 things I do religiously when putting my bike away for the winter are… 1) Take it it for a good ride and shut it off hot before storage to make sure there’s no condensation anywhere in the engine and exhaust. Ever see water dripping from the exhaust pipe on a cold start car or bike? 2) Put...

Here you go. If it’s 3 conductor plus ground which it probably is, your all set. https://www.facebook.com/share/88oPbB5cTmB8WG1E/?mibextid=79PoIi

A 100A feed to a single car garage is a little overkill in my opinion. Save yourself some money and use #4 aluminum Teck cable for a 60A feed to your garage. You can run it exposed on the ceiling or walls of your basement (no drilling) and bury it directly without conduit. Very tough, durable...

I’ve used the Mobil1 M108 automotive oil filter on my bikes for as long as I can remember. It’s a direct replacement for 90% of Japanese spin on bike filters. You can use the M110 if you have room, it’s about 1/2” longer. Both readily available at Canadian Tire.

I remember reading all the road tests and shootouts on the CBX back in the day and the general consensus was that the CBX was an engineering marvel but the Suzuki GS1000 and later the GS1100 was a far superior sport bike. I owned a red 1980 and a black 1981 Suzuki 1100. Incidentally, a 1979...

I think the first album that I ever bought was “Ziggy Stardust” by David Bowie when I was about 12. I’ll still listen to it cranked out in the garage and it still sounds great. I’m not a huge David Bowie fan but I think it’s one of the few albums that is absolutely perfect from start to finnish.

My ex father in law was a Federal MP (Etobicoke North) years ago with “hopes of making a change”. He said when he got to Ottawa he quickly realized he ain’t changing anything and to just grab a spoon and line up at the trough.

Largest mass murder in Toronto history committed by someone that was neither a legal gun owner or mentally fit.My point is that money spent on taking guns off the street wouldn’t have prevented this but getting this guy some help may have.

Ok fair point but would you agree that mentally healthy, legal gun owners don’t generally commit homicide or suicide?

I miss my high school parties, they were around the same time.

I don’t think any party ever wants to resolve the abortion and gun control issues. They are wedge issues that political parties pull out of their hat to divide voters.With all the time and money that’s been spent on these two issues nobody has anything to show for it. Think of how much further...

I think the Coservative party is actually very close to centre. It just doesn’t seem like it because the current Liberal party has swung so far left, I can’t wait till that circus packs up and leaves town.

A good rule of thumb is that a 600v 3 phase motor will draw almost exactly 1 amp per horsepower and you don’t want to load your service up more than 80%. So a 30 amp 600v 3 phase service which is the smallest you would see in a small industrial unit could safely run a combined total of 24...

Somewhere in the code book there’s a rule that says your only suppose to have one service to a building with one main disconnect but I’ve been in many older commercial buildings that have two.

Actually when you are getting zapped by 600v you are really only getting getting 347v if it’s a wye configuration as most services are. You would only get 600v if you came into contact with two different phases at the same time. Either way it friggin’ hurts. I’ve felt both.

I had a friend that was having problems with his hearing years ago and went to a hearing specialist. The specialist asked what the problem was and my friend said he kept hearing odd noises in his right ear. The specialist asked what kind of noises. My friend said that’s the strange part, it...

I had an Uncle that suffered hearing loss from firing artillery during the war ( for the Germans). His condition was unique though. If you were in the next room talking about him he could hear you no problem, otherwise you would have to shout at the top of your lungs for him to hear you, I think...
