A seal walks into a club... ^Canadian joke. My fork seals are weeping like mad and with spring riding, the dirt and grit on the bike sure shows the oil seepage. I decided to pick up some oil and dust seals so that I can redo the front forks. I hit a couple of bad potholes and that didn't...

This will be interesting. Michael Dunlop will be riding Yamaha this year. William and Guy on the Tyco BMWs. Wish I could be at some of these races. http://www.crash.net/road-racing/news/215391/1/martin-and-dunlop-make-tyco-bmw-debuts-at-almeria.html

I would take one. http://www.jacklilley.com/pages/news/latest-news-from-jack-lilley/special-edition-smiths-racing-daytona-675r.htm#.VQjvLHvD-Sp

Just over a week ago, 8" thick ice in the driveway and alleyway. The last week was really warm. Almost all the ice has melted and the roads have cleared up. Pulled the bike out, gave it a wipe, checked oil and gas, stuffed the Yuasa in it and the bike started after the third try. Rough idling...

Some good examples on this first vid. http://youtu.be/JRmbbtrrxAM http://youtu.be/jMyL0HdXPuc

I was looking for a new Yuasa battery and not sure about shipping across the border so I focused on Canadian distributors. Look up saskbattery.com and you can find almost any Yuasa battery. Looks like a good deal for carbed Bonnies and EFI Bonnies. The EFI battery is more expensive though. They...

Prepare for longwindednessesness! As you can tell from the title, I have already made my mind up on a technology that I feel doesn't make sense on a two wheeled vehicle. But I am curious to see if any here will defend the application of ABS on bikes and what, if any, it's positives are...

Now that summer has gone south... haha, I crack myself up, I thought I might post a couple of captures I made over that last week. Random stuff really. The quality of the pics is pretty bad. I was using my work phone which is a CAT phone. What a true piece of crap they are. Here is a bit of...

November 11, this Rememberance Day is a bit more special this year. Canada is honoring two more recently fallen. I have already bought my poppy. They are on sale everywhere here now. They might be just a facsimile that we pin to our jacket or shirt, but they remind us of all of those...

Because of a new job, I don't get out to ride as often as I want to any more. The Bonnie was parked for a week. Last Friday evening, wanted to go for a ride. Do the quick checks on the bike and noticed that the oil level was up to the top of the sight glass. Shit! Check the fuel tap, damn...

Got to talking with my good neighbour today. He is the landlord and his tenants are great people too. Discussed the broken old fence on our property line and our trees hanging over each other's properties. Fence can wait another year and we both like trees so nothing is going to be done at this...

Having a lot of problems with most of the rubber parts on my bike. The neutral switch and the crank sensor seals are weeping. Just poking at the crank sensor seal, you can tell, it's like it's ready to fall apart. Same with the rubber rings around my speedo and tach. They look like they are...

Been dealing with some real life crap here. Inbetween jobs and attempting to sue the landlord next door. Fucking neighbours are complete fucktards and have robbed us of our privacy, threatened us, screamed at us, throw garbage over the fence, piss all over the place, drink and drugs at all hours...

Look at what these guys pulled out of storage. Amazing looking bike. Wait for the sound at 1:10. It sure made me laugh. http://youtu.be/O_s7rrG7oGw

I have some time off and it's too miserable outside. Started watching this documentary on YouTube. Awesome stuff. Runs almost 3 hours total for all 8 episodes. 1. Meet the TT Legends team http://youtu.be/xbuYdT4GYkI 2. The Bol D'Or - 24hr Race http://youtu.be/yaMz30GoAkk 3...

Got to say, I have seen some nutty shit come out of Japan but what is Honda thinking by releasing this. The Honda Vultus could hit the showroom floors here in North America. They have built this for beginners but the ride position on this bike is nothing like what I started out on or would even...

Anyone living here and riding around with a loud exhaust, have a look, there is talk of increasing the fine for riders with loud bikes. The good news, cars and trucks with loud exhausts or booming woofers are not going to be affected by this. Only bikes. News video here with an advert before...

Ya, right! There's Google, doing it again. Changing shit that doesn't need changing. Just like forcing YouTube users to sign up for a google+ account in order to comment on posts. Those geniuses, who need to justify their big, fat pay cheques, go ahead and make changes that many of us don't need...

Ya! Would love to watch BSB here in Canada but I really don't know if any of the subscription channels I can get, televise the races. It's a whole different type of race that makes MotoGP look.... umm, how to put this.... YAWN! The few highlights of BSB and WSB I do get to see on YouTube look...

Here is a mini documentary about Wolfgang Paul Loofs and his 1955 VW beetle. He took the bug on three trips around the world at a time when the word remote, meant just that. You were screwed if you broke down most any place. Wolfgang did something that only very few have done, or will do...

Every gawd damned day, shave. I do it because I have to deal with customers every day. I even run into customers on the weekends. I don't buy those 6 bladed, 1" wide contraptions. I only use those cheap Gillette twin blades with the fixed head. Anything more than a twin is all hype imo. If I...

I'm trying to get through this online book. It's an eye-opener for sure. http://books.google.ca/books?id=GWR_H3cMRLoC&lpg=PA14&ots=H8AP4v1fng&dq=motorcycle%20fork%20air%20volume&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q&f=false I found this while looking at these...

Those crazy russians... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sp5M9K3wZcY

This is not so much a project but some information. This is something I am considering because of the crazy temperature ranges some of us experience in North America. I was wondering if this is something I should do? I don't like adding things like Isopropyl Alcohol to suspend water from...
