    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    Those are the people who come up here to Orangeville and then wreak havoc on the 410. I'm sure this is the real reason why Brampton drivers take up at least 60% of the testing slots at the Orangeville DriveTest centre. The G2 Exit test up here would be a cake-walk as compared to the test in...

    JT saving us one bottle of wd-40 and chain lube at a time

    I have a couple of cans on the shelf so no worries at the moment. If this ban does happen in Canada, it will simply be another thing to pick up when I go shopping in the US.

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    I would support a 14 day lock-up of the driver as well as the vehicle in this instance. At least he won't be driving this vehicle again for a couple of weeks. Any bets on how many more times he will be caught driving while under the new extended suspension period?

    Automated speed enforcement ticket

    That would be the best traffic calming measure ever!:ROFLMAO: It would certainly keep me out of that area.

    Motorcycle Electronic Rider Aids

    I've never owned a bike with any of the electronic aids in the list. My car has ABS and TC and I like the ABS, but hate the TC. Fortunately the TC can be turned off when having fun with the AWD in the snow. As far as consideration goes when looking for a bike, here's my list: ABS - B TC - A CC...

    Automated speed enforcement ticket

    Peel and stick 3M products should work well. Just cut it to the approximate size of the lens opening and keep handy for when you see one that needs a new lens cover.:D

    Automated speed enforcement ticket

    This statement made me laugh. Photo radar is ONLY about the money because they don't care who was driving. IF they really wanted to get convictions and possibly change driver behaviour they would have a cop at the "dangerous location" handing out real tickets with more consequences, ie. points...

    Scorpion helmet issue.

    Try Bolts+. The last time I was in the Brafasco here in Orangeville they insisted I needed to buy more than the two bolts I needed. I think it was a minimum order of 10. I haven't been back there since!

    Any golfers here ?

    We were rained out. Got to the fifth green and was having a great game then the skies opened up. We bailed and the others got rain-checks. I don't pay because I'm an employee, so no worries if I don't play the full 18. Hope to continue this game on Tuesday, weather permitting.

    Any golfers here ?

    Ah, there's my problem. My R9 driver is about 14 years old.:D I bought it used at least 5 years ago. My Burner irons are even older, but I can hit most of them fairly well and like their feel. I've tried a few demo drivers over the years and have just decided to keep using the clubs I have...

    Any golfers here ?

    I've given away dozens of Pro V1 and 1X's. I find them all over the place and simply can't hit them hard enough to get any benefit out of using them. I give them to friends who have a more powerful swing.

    Any golfers here ?

    I don't have a ball retriever in my bag and can only remember a few times where it would have been useful. I find far more golf balls than I lose, so I'm not concerned if I put one or two into the water every round. Half the time I won't even go into the bush looking for a ball because I don't...

    Any golfers here ?

    A few years ago while working the gate at Hockley a golfer arrived on a Harley with his bag attached to the back of the bike. He had made a small platform that sat at the rear of the bike and held his bag standing upright. The platform looked like he had used a motorcycle trailer hitch and...

    Any golfers here ?

    I've never had a one ball day. The best I've done is to lose just two balls over the round. I play mostly for the entertainment value and time with friends on the course. I'm not that good that a bad shot (or 10) would make me unleash a string of profanity. I've only broken 100 once or twice in...

    Any golfers here ?

    There are times that golfers hate the game of golf. :ROFLMAO: I know there are many times I question why I even try to play the game.

    Any golfers here ?

    He wouldn't have found any of my balls then. I'm a lefty with a slice so they all go to the other side of the fairway, or onto the next fairway.:ROFLMAO:

    Any golfers here ?

    Yeah, that's one I always misspell. I look at "lose" and think that can't be right and then change it. At least I know the difference between there, their and they're.:D

    Any golfers here ?

    I now play about once a week; however, you wouldn't know that looking at my scorecard. I began playing more often after I retired and got a part-time job at a golf/ski resort where I play for free. Still loose plenty of balls, but haven't bought one in over 10 years. Working at a course lets you...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    I wait for the twice yearly sales of synthetic oil at Canadian Tire when it's about 50% off. Regardless of when my oil change is due I'll buy a jug on sale and put it on the shelf. I'm lucky, the filter for my CX-3 is less than $15 at the dealer and they toss in a crush washer.

    Interesting Ruling Regarding Motorcycle Crash - City at Fault

    I wonder if this ruling would extend to sidewalks. Some sidewalks in Orangeville have heaved up about 5cm and present a tripping hazard for pedestrians. The Town's answer; come around every summer and paint the raised edge with orange paint! They've been doing this for decades and the problems...
