    New car shopping

    I hear you - its tough actually caring about cars and shopping for one these days. We bought our Forester pretty much because it was the only decent SUV with a manual transmission - Wish we could have gotten the turbo with manual but they dont make it.

    New car shopping

    thanks guys, a couple of answers. FWD is out - I have owned FWD cars before and find AWD or RWD just soooo much better. Not really interested in cross overs as I kayak and load bikes on roof racks and frankly Im not that tall and find putting stuff on top of our Forester a pain. VW is...

    New car shopping

    My 2005 Saab 92x is rapidly approaching 360,000km so I think I am due soon. I am not too picky :rolleyes: but the new car must be a manual transmission, wagon/hatchback, NOT FWD. So far I am coming up with only the Impreza which I am perfectly fine with but wonder what others are out there. BMW...

    Corduroy trail ride

    I havent done the Cord with them but have done quite a few of the other rides. They will load up your GPS for you and typically give a quick powerpoint style overview of the route as well. I have always been impressed with RallyConnex

    Anyone familiar with Saab's?

    YUP, my Saabaru is just about to turn over 350,000km For cheap and reliable look for Nissan, or Mazda, you get Japanese reliability with out the ridiculous 0% depreciation that Honda and Toyota seem to have.

    Mechanic recommendation - Barrie

    I dropped it off this morning at St Onge with John, he ran the old Machine Racing shop and a lot of his guys came with him. They did look up the old St Onge work order and it was actually 2 years ago and not last fall as I thought I remembered. This would mean an extra 10k or so on the engine...

    Mechanic recommendation - Barrie

    I have been told to bring it to John Nelson at St Onge as he is part of the Dirt / Motocross crew. Hopefully they can set it straight.

    Mechanic recommendation - Barrie

    St Onge looked at it previously and I cant say I was very impressed. 3 weeks, $300 and they didnt solve the problem. Anyone else?

    Mechanic recommendation - Barrie

    My KLX250 with 37,000km on it is making a hell of a noise. Its lived a tough life so far, when do these engines typically need to be rebuilt?

    Canadian Tire selling used items as new.

    worst one I have heard is when I returned some brake rotors and pads. I bought front and rear but ended up just needing the rears so went back to the store with the new, still in box front rotors and pads. The customer service person had to call the automotive manager to check it out. Talking to...

    Best Budget Dual Sport Helmet

    I have had exactly 1 motorcycle helmet so take that into account but I like my Fly trekker because I can wear goggles and still put the visor down.

    How does this Hyosung GT 250 look?

    with all the great options available from major brand names I cant think of any reason to look at a bike like this. Even at half the price of a Kawi or Honda I still dont think I would even consider one.

    2009 KLX250S Won't start

    have you tried bump/push starting it? Also can you check the battery - resting voltage should be 12+V Starting it the voltage will drop to 11V or 10V but much more than that says the battery is probably toast. Once its running you should see voltage of 13 to 14V which will show that the...
