I watched a YouTube video about this incident. The QJ shot outward into the wall. Very scary. I'm never fully comfortable under a car, always ready to dive out of the way, even from the two-post at the mechanic. It seems the cause is that the QJs weren't parallel. As the car rises towards the...

I like them a lot. I did the well-known $10 caster mod so they are easier to roll around, because they're 100 lbs each. I'll be updating the casters to all-steel, because these nylon ones are wearing. It takes about the same time to change a set of winter tires for one car. Setup and clean up...

Subaru BRZ Sporty: - exciting drivers car - quite competitive in Autocross Stock Class (not me, but other drivers are regularly top 3) - keeps up with Caymans and Boxters at the track(actually me[emoji1365]). Practical: - can fit 3 adults comfortably, 4 "uncomfortably", and easily 2.5 people...

I like that. Do something nice for somebody. Hold open a door, or help loading the car. One and done. I'm really only dissing the drive thru game. The first time it happened to me, the drive thru queue had just merged from two to one, and I let someone go first. They arrived after I did, but...

Exactly! They asked if I wanted to pay for the next person and I said sure. They said "are you sure, it's two combos?" I always get a breakfast and coffee for the hourlong commute and most often pay forward just buy a coffee or two so I figured "sure, why not" And the minimum wagers were...

It happened to me at a Tim's, 5 or 6 times in two years, when I lived in a suburb in Vaughan. Each time, it felt right to keep it going, so I did. I felt really good about myself. I'm such a great person. [emoji3577] As someone else mentioned, no one in that line needs a handout. And recently I...

I just keep 3 or 4 empty windshield washer bottles on the shelf beside the fresh oil, coolant, and other fluids. I throw away the rest unless my stockpile is low. Same with cardboard. I always have a couple of small shipping boxes and as many of the larger furniture boxes (flattened) as...

I have a custom fitted pair from ProtectEar called dbBlocker that are still comfortable after eleven years. I can wear them for 16 hours straight. There's a tiny pinhole that allows sounds in the frequency ranges of most human voices, so it blocks it a lot of wind/engine drone despite how much...

Meet in Guelph at Ontario Moto Gymkhana. It's about equidistant to you both and not expensive ($60-90). https://www.facebook.com/share/p/KbA39RyrgZa9L2Br/?mibextid=oFDknk Spend the day hanging out with a bunch of other riders who are having an awesome day improving their riding skills and...

I see you like to play three moves ahead in traffic chess. Fantastic! Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk

It's booming! Wow 15 years ago. I just missed that boat when I started riding in .... Nvm I am old. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk

We haven't posted here in a while but if you haven't been following along via our Facebook, Instagram, or website, we have had a pretty interesting year. We are now enjoying events in two locations, Puslinch and Mississauga. The next one is on August 10th in Mississauga...

I have a family and financial responsibilities. Gotta get to work every day. Gotta be around a long time. But I told myself I'd never want to be the one who says "I never have time to ride, so I sold it." I also really like racing, two wheels and four. Here's how those priorities manifested: I...

Teslas do not reliably detect motorcycles and cyclists. Tesla had been called out on it and have done nothing. They must be giving the NHTSA, DOT, and any other regulators really well-oiled massages to be allowed on the road. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk

The Ride to Conquer Cancer bicycle marathon employs moto-volunteers to provide assistance at various locations along the route. A friend and I are going to try that and maybe make it an annual activity. The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation Self-promotion: Ontario Moto Gymkhana events are...

Beautiful color! The shift lever can be adjusted higher to help get your big fat toes underneath it. The rear brake is intentionally soft, as front braking can lift the rear tire completely. It might also need a brake fluid flush to fix a soft pedal that was caused by boiling ("brake fade")...

Plenty of character. Just not as shouty about it, eh? Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk

Quite likely. The course has a similar structure to the basic MSF course, and has similar exercises to the technical riding and motor police courses. We know that not every rider will continue into moto gymkhana competition, so the focus is on safety, control, and building skills for use...
