    sticky throttle

    IF the engine runs, warm it up properly, then play with the throttle 'til it hangs. Then check each cable separately to figure which one. My 2cents - worth a try.

    Your loooongest ride.

    Pre-Covid a friend and I zigzagged our way out west, thru the good roads around Sturgess, to an army base north of Edmonton to see his son. Got a ride in a Leopard tank - think Torque. From there thru Banff and out to Vancouver. Back thru Idaho (Road to the Sun), and a wiggly path back to the...

    What's the dumbest question someone has ever asked you about your motorcycle?

    And on the subject of salesmen who know nothing. Back when there was a Honda sell-everthing store in Whitby, I stopped by to look at the new 2012 Goldwings. They had stopped production in the US in 2010 and moved production to Japan. No 2011 models, and they had made some changes. They had 1...

    What's the dumbest question someone has ever asked you about your motorcycle?

    Same Timmies. Some background - I'm about 60 (at the time), short and decrepid. Couple come up to me and ask me if my bike is good for beginners - their son. I'm riding a 760lb six-cylinder 1500 Honda Valkerie bagger More of the same. A few years later I'm riding a 840lb 1800 Honda F6B and got...

    Tim Hortons in Oshawa on Simcoe St. S - drive thru only

    Back in the 70's there was a McD at Jane and Falstaff in TO. They decided to open 24/7, but drive-thru only after 11:00 pm. and no walk-thru. Across from them are three 40+ story apartments. People would call the taxi company I worked for to do a 2 block (total) run to McD's. After we'd got all...

    Inflation

    The NUMBER ONE cause of inflation is central bank printing presses. More fiat money chasing the same goods and services equals higher prices. All other factors only have a small effect on inflation.

    Who's still riding? Fall & Winter 2022 (& 2023!) edition!

    Was out Sunday. Oshawa to Minden lookout via Deep Bay Rd,. then Haliburton to Bobcaygen via 3 and 507. 507 was in the best shape I've ever seen - they've even painted lines on the newly tar&sealed section. Most of the oncoming vehicles actually stayed in their own lane thru the corners. A brisk...
