Those 2 idiots basically shut down traffic in Durham Region on Tuesday and caused tens of thousands of dollars in damages. It took me over an hour to cover 5km from Lakeridge to Brock St. I witnessed 3 minor rear end collisions near me as we were all creeping along and at one point Google maps...

Even the best track day riders will be forced to veer into oncoming traffic if there's a pile of gravel or a branch on the road around one of those tight corners. I almost got up close and personal with a crotch rocket last week when he came around a corner on Southwood doing way over the...

It's a nice enough bike but it could be so much better if some of the parts were from this millennium. The guy building the bike is too obsessed with vintage "quality". Just because it's old and simple doesn't always mean it's more functional or reliable. A 40+ year old Ohlins shock? Sure...

I just spent 5 minutes looking into Jon Nesbett, the "independent journalist" who filmed a follow up interview with the creepy water gun neighbor. Jeez, I feel filthy. He seems to spend most of his time re-posting anti-vax, anti-government, anti-woke and close to white supremacist Reddit...

$86? You're paying a tonne of money for your "system", which is basically a rope and a couple of pulleys. I made a similar rig to store my kayak from Home Depot pulleys, rope and a hand winch off a boat trailer. Total cost maybe $20. It was no more work to install than that system would be...

Just go on longer trips. After 3-4 crappy nights sleep you'll be so tired that you'll conk out the second your head hits the rolled up bundle of clothes that you're using for a pillow.

I've had good luck with Sport Rack racks over the years. Not nearly as fancy as Thule and lacking some advanced features, but they get the job done for half the price. As for hitches at Uhaul, they're probably fine. Depending on your car, installing a hitch can be incredibly easy. I just put...

Shockingly, I got a reply from Service Ontario. Here's the relevant portion of the email: So, just like the plate stickers, everyone has been automatically informed of the change and there will be absolutely no problems with law enforcement from jurisdictions outside of Ontario. 🤨...

Clear 3M vinyl is your friend after you get the paint sorted. Get a small roll off Amazon and put it over the paint wherever Fido tends to park her paws. Keeps things looking fresh and is easy to replace if you get lazy with the pooch's pedicures.

Hey all, Now that our plates are auto-renewing, has anyone heard if Service Ontario will be mailing out new registration cards that don't have expiration dates printed on them? While my older permits don't have it, the last couple of vehicles that I've registered have had expiration dates...

The part where the provincial EXPENSES didn't drop by $1 billion/year when the registration fees were eliminated. We're still paying for the things that used to be be paid for by registration fees, only now we're paying through our taxes, or by the government taking money away from other...

We'll agree to disagree about your statement of money left in our wallets. We're still paying to operate the vehicle registration system and to build and maintain roads, we're just paying for it through our taxes rather than directly as users of those services. To counter your point directly...

And Douggie's decision to scrap plate renewal fees just before the last election is costing us all between $500 million and $1 billion every single year in lost revenue from now until the end of time.

In general, I agree with JC100's position on the importance of open universities where people are free to study as they wish. If we only sponsored academic study into fields that were immediately profitable our society would be much poorer for it. However, during my 6 years in uni (4 yr B.A...

If you're looking for a slight adaptation of the pickaxe loop, you could try Barry Lake Trail/Arcol Rd from Calabogie down to Ompah. Last year it was somewhere between a gravel road and an atv/4x4 track. Easily manageable on a KLR or V-Strom. FYI, Arcol Rd requires a road access pass from...

Found the tools. PM sent.

I used to have the rotor puller and holder wrench from Eagle Mike. Haven't seen them in over a decade and I've moved since then. I'll take a look when I get home to see if they're still around... FYI, the KLR rotor puller is M22x1.5. There is a motion pro puller on Fortnine that would work...

Everywhere there's a camera around here (Durham Region) they really work well. People slow right down going through the camera zones and the effect usually lasts for a few blocks in either direction. Seems to be modifying behavior and improving safety just fine. What are the other options...

Well, I was up on Boundary Rd 2 weeks ago and there were a few places around there where the trails/roads were basically lakes. We've had several more rain events since then and the forecast for Saturday is for another 10-15mm. I've never done the Bethany ride before and from the vids online I...

Better bring your snorkel...
