    Does North America even matter any more for motorcycle sales ?

    Very true. I remember going to Mid-Ohio in the early 2000’s for the AMA Superbike races and literally tripping over Honda RC51’s. Meanwhile back in Toronto, you were far more more likely to trip over a unicorn than an RC51.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    I remember when I was in high school I wanted to surprise my dad and do an oil change on his brand new 1984 Cutlass Supreme, real nice car with buckets, console, rally wheel, the whole nine yards. I had that thing up on ramps in the driveway and I could not get that oil filter off for the life...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    This workbench was last months project. I got the drawers from a walk in safe at the old post office in Oshawa and made the bench top. Fortunately I already had the vise and beer fridge.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    I keep it set at 5 deg. Celsius starting in December to keep things dry. When I’m out there 2or 3 times at night during the week and maybe an afternoon during the weekend I’ll turn it up to 15 deg. Celsius which is quite comfortable for drinking beer. I would estimate that my gas bill is an...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    I put this baby in about 3 years ago. It’s 45,000 btu’s in a 700 sq.ft garage. Wish I had done it sooner.

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    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...

    Your loooongest ride.

    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.

    storing motorcycle in unheated garage (attached to house)

    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...

    Cold Hands

    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

    Cold Hands

    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...

    To be Canadian

    I was at Mid-Ohio a few years back for the AMA Superbike races. The campers next to us had an American flag on a pole, a veteran walking by totally lost his marbles on them because a corner of their flag was touching the ground. Yet we put up with this kind of BS in Canada.

    Oil and Filter $$$

    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.

    Wanna buy a CBX ?

    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...

    Albums

    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.

    New political party in Canada launched

    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.

    New political party in Canada launched

    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.

    New political party in Canada launched

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