Hey, I've always maintained that the only thing I miss about BC is the motorcycling roads. Ontario has BC beat for everything else I care about, though... (oh, wait, I also miss ICBC, which I never thought I'd say!) I wasn't trying to be snarky (at least not TOO snarky), I was genuinely...

Okay, this has bugged me since I moved back from BC, but just to confirm, the bit of the Forks of the Credit that folks head to for riding is just the 3 odd km bit around the hairpin, right? Is there a bit I'm missing on the way to or from that makes it such a destination? I went to Snake Rd...

Difficult as it is to generate any sympathy for such an irritatingly whiny and entitled kid, am I the only one who feels uncomfortable with the tone of these sorts of posts from various police departments? There's a sort of prurient glee and smugness in them that I find off-putting, especially...

To be fair to Burnley, expecting them to go toe-to-toe with a Liverpool side that has a single player that cost what their whole side did is probably a bit much. They didn't lose at home for all of last season and up to today, so it's one recipe for staying up in a brutal league. Still, it's...

Same applied in 2017. Both numbers, 2017 and 2025, are sticker price, not dealer or fleet discount.

That one is gone, but there's another suspiciously similar 2010 model in red for $8k, not sure if he decided to jack the price after some interest. Great bike, but for anyone interested, the early 1200 8V models up to mid-2012 had a serious issue with flat tappets wearing prematurely and then...

Studio Cycle is a great shop, but as you say, not ideal if you'd rather flatten your balls with a rubber mallet than drive anywhere near downtown Toronto. My Guzzi is simple enough that I do all my own maintenance, but if I needed work done, I'd go to Moto Motori: Google Search Edit: better...

I went through a similar move away from sportbikes last year, though I was looking at bikes that weren't cruisers (corner clearance!) but had some cruiser vibe around being okay to ride slow. Looked at MT-01's, did briefly consider an XR1200, came very close to a BMW R nineT, and also looked at...

Further to cost jacking, I just went back and looked at some quotes I got when I was shopping for a company car for MY 2017, comparing a loaded Honda Accord Touring V6 sedan to a mid-tier F-150 XLT with 4x4, SuperCrew, 6.5' box, tow package and 3.5 EcoBoost. 2017 MY Accord: $36,490 MSRP F-150...

That gen of Ranger has become a bit of a cult classic, as it was the last of the simple, basic, ladder frame, actually small trucks. With some TLC they're very durable, and appeal to a type that wants a stripped down option. This means clean ones can command a hefty price. As for pricing, it...

Also almost $20k cheaper for an equivalently equipped XLT mid-tier model (~$50k vs $70k despite the 150 getting a much fatter discount), plus easier to manage in urban environments. Considering I'd say north of 60% of F-150 drivers never haul anything heavier than their groceries and are mostly...

So sorry to hear. I lost my best bud somewhat suddenly this summer, and we'd fallen out of regular contact because he'd moved back to Newfoundland. So many regrets about all the times I put off calling because I was too busy, too tired, or just plain old distracted. Not the same, I know, but...

Since the Maverick shares a platform with the Escape, maybe worth looking to see if anyone has had success with it rather than the F150?

Everything about that ad is very... Welland. No phone and "pop in and ask for Jennifer or Jess" (while the ad is posted by Julie). Meth makes all things seem possible, I guess. Including getting a working 600 in a trade for what once was a 600 and is in such disrepair even the scrap value is...

Saw the massively underrated Trews play at the Festival of Friends in Hamilton recently (awesome show, great live band), and Dave Rave made a guest appearance. Needless to say, it went over a treat with the locals and got an even bigger reaction than the Trews spot-on cover of Girls Just Want to...

Had one in Hamilton in July where a literal kid killed an innocent bystander, a young woman, who was just waiting at a bus stop outside Jackson Square downtown at rush hour. It's bad enough when they kill each other, but being reckless enough to be firing a handgun on a busy street deserves...

My moment of truth was someone else's misfortune: had a pit neighbour on a Shannonville track day who brought his beloved R1. He launched it in a fairly low-speed highside at turn 13, and the bike dug into the grass and went full cartwheel yard sale. Bent everything on it, including the forks...

Haha, I've read about the history of the so-called A23 Derby, it still doesn't really make any sense. I think my favourite detail about the rivalry is that the Seagulls moniker for Brighton came about as a way to take the piss out of Palace calling themselves Eagles, but then stuck enough to...

This was by far the craziest transfer window I can remember, and not just for Liverpool. Despite Liverpool breaking the British transfer record twice in the same window, Arsenal managed to spend nearly £40M more net because they had very few sales, but somehow Liverpool is the one buying the...

Spending other people's money is way more fun than spending my own! That said, the showdown would have to wait a bit, had to swear off any speed-related contest for 12 months to qualify for a lower life insurance rate, so no track riding for me for the rest of this year and into a chunk of the...
