    Surprise on an On Ramp

    Cars can safely pass over some pretty large objects that will easily bring down a bike. Skunk guts would be adding a lot of insult to injury.

    Stay away from the Forks this weekend

    I used to live about 3 kms south of FOTC and never understood the appeal. Yes, the road has a few curves but far too much traffic and police presence to be even remotely enjoyable. Throw in the transplanted citiots who now call Belfountain home and the D-bag posers at the coffe shop who spent 10...

    Custom Bobber - Legal questions

    I had a hardtail chopper (Triumph) for a few years, never had a problem with insurance or police. The bike did have turn signals and a front brake and it wasn't stretched to a ridiculous degree, so that might have helped. I suggest putting together some specs for your bobber and gather some...

    Triumph Trophy owners here?

    I was talking to a fellow this past Sunday at Hwy 10 and Mayfield who has a new one. He just loves it and it sure is an impressive looking bike.

    First Aid

    This guy seemed on the ball, right up until he left before professional medical help appeared. He goes to great lengths to point out how useless everyone else was, then leaves, with the predictable result. I have my first aid/CPR/AED certification and have taken the course three times through...

    Do Statistics tell the truth?

    +1 Additionally, the increase in the median age of riders is naturally going to result in the age of riders killed being higher. I do think that overall, the single biggest factor is that many "returning" riders rely on the experience they garnered 20 earlier. They don't realise just how much...

    Food Fraud?

    Caveat emptor. Instead of going to the mega-supermarket, patronise your local butcher, fish monger, baker, and green grocer. Get to know them, develop a relationship. They in turn will learn your tastes and preferences. Much like librarians, most of them are a severely under utilised source of...

    Horse vs Motorcycle

    Per Merriam-Webster: "to direct the motions and course of (a draft animal)", "to set or keep in motion or operation", "to operate the mechanism and controls and direct the course of (as a vehicle)" So it is correct. Full definitions here: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/drive

    How far (backwards) we've come

    By sending their lousy kid to school, they have just shifted the burden to all the other children and their families. And teachers, administration, support staff. Bus drivers, lunch room workers, after school program workers. And by dealing with the problem in as timely a fashion as possible...

    How far (backwards) we've come

    Every place I've ever worked, there are the one or two parents that always seem to have some kind of child-related crisis and need to leave early/come in late/not show up. It's not the business's responsibility to provide part-time employment at full-time pay to these people. I'm not talking...

    Yeah, he's a big boy. When he was younger, if you were very, very quiet, you could hear him grow.:D
