    EPA acknowledges that ethanol damages engines

    I have doubts the Ultramar 91 is Ethanol free. I put it in the FZ6 once and it ran like a turd. Put it in the sled once (had no alternative) and it didn't run the same. Always have used Shell 91 in the MX bike unless I'm using race gas... However, knowing that costco 91 is Ethanol free is great...

    air guns for self defense - legal?

    Ammo is in my field boxes which are on top of my safe, I can open the lock in the dark, no key required. It's just the way my dad has always done it, and it's the way I do it. A bit more security than required leaves me less likely to have some type of charge if for some random reason a cop...

    air guns for self defense - legal?

    Some 3 year old shot her brother with a loaded handgun in the states in the past week. Gun was "loaded", but she managed to pull the action back and pull the trigger, from what I remember seeing (didn't read the article just saw a little blurb). You can teach kids from early on about guns and...

    air guns for self defense - legal?

    I got shot in the leg with a BB gun when I was 7 or 8... I said ouch and kept riding my bike. It's not going to do anything to someone that is jacked up enough to bust in to your place and try to kill you. If they even notice you "shot" them, it's just going to make them even angrier. The ONLY...

    Decent Looking Tie downs

    Yup, I HAD one of those. Unfortunately either Asselstine's has mine or it's in the Direct Motocross Magazine trailer which I think got sold recently lol. Gotta get another.

    Neck braces?

    This brace appears to not have a quick release system (not that I saw in that add at least). The normal Leatt braces, A* and Atlas all have quick release mechanisms designed to help the medics remove the brace in the event they need to do so without moving the spine. The Atlas one is a cotter...

    liberals proposing payment for IVF

    Pretty much agree with you about the dog thing... I wish more people would adopt. We go in to the humane society a couple times a month to take a look around... We almost came out of the place with a dog but she was spoken for. However, on the flip side of that, there are people that still use...

    Decent Looking Tie downs

    I just use regular cam style straps... I've NEVER had one fail, and I likely trailer/haul bikes more than most of the guys on this board. Seriously, I haul every single weekend both the FZ6 and the 250F an average of 6 hours EVERY weekend and I've never had one slip. Tie the free end around the...

    Neck braces?

    Yes, braces only work correctly when the contact points of the brace are on the body. I wear a fox chest protector with my atlas, and basically tuck my atlas support pads under my chest protector. This also allows the protector to hold my neck brace in place. Makes it simpler to get on and off...

    Neck braces?

    Go with Atlas. It is the only brace to wear. It's Canadian designed as well, but that isn't why I say it is the one to use. The design of it is superior as to where it places the load. The Leatt places the load on to the Spinous process of the vertebrae. This has seen a rise in Fractures of the...

    Thinking of getting married?

    Not bitter in any form. Why would you EXPECT help from anyone as an adult? It's great if parents help out their kids, its nice of them to do... However, kids shouldn't be expecting it. It's not that I have a bad relationship, my mom is just very focussed on her personal finances, and that's...

    Mountain bike for a 16yr old

    Not all disc brakes are the same. I had a Norco Mountaineer with disc "brakes"... HORRIBLE. I had v-brakes that worked way better. Now, on my Nitro 9.1 (worth at least $1000 more than my mountaineer), I have legit hydraulic disc brakes, which are a huge improvement, and I can actually trust them...

    Thinking of getting married?

    Why would anyone ever assume and expect their parents to help them out? Seriousy. What a bunch of spoon fed spoiled people we have. My mom makes as much as many 2 income families make. I never received a penny aside from a roof over my head and food in the kitchen. The day I was done highschool...

    Does racism still exist?

    For sure we have lots of trash. There is just as much trash with every other race in Canada. Haven't you noticed the names of all of these people pulling off violent and drug related crime? There is nothing you can do about lazy people if they are born here. What I have a hard time with are...

    Thinking of getting married?

    I sure didn't pay $7000 for it. And I sure don't expect to get $7000 for it. However, I'm also not going to let myself get ripped off. When you can draw a crowd with it at a jewellery store, it's definitely an eye catcher. I have also looked at an auction house. That leads to being ripped off...

    Thinking of getting married?

    Exactly. I have a ring that has never been worn, it's very unique as it's not from North America (unique but very classy). It's valued at $7000. Offers so far have been someone's Old laptop and a used Sirius subscription. $500 and a sob story about how the dude is poor and can't afford a nice...

    Off leash dog complaints

    Exactly. Most breeds now have been so messed with genetically for "show" that they can't perform their original duty. I work with retreivers, and there is a big difference in these fat, heavy, slow show labradors and the more true to original muscular, slim, fast working dogs. A show dog would...

    Does racism still exist?

    Agreed. While there are always exceptions, I'm generally attrated to white, asian, latin and the like... Just the way I like my women. I very rarely see a black girl that turns my head and it has nothing to do with "oh, she's black". Racism is alive and well. Funny thing though, is it's totally...

    Off leash dog complaints

    A house pet VS a wild animal... Even if the pet outweighed the animal (say a German Shep vs a coyote) my $ is on the wild animal.
