  1. Kawi in my Deere mower and parts are a breeze. Local dealer has most in stock or next day...
  2. While I can admit to wearing some questionable apparel, the full face helmet was always on. 1988...Once a certified sport bike lunatic, I always wore at least an armoured jacked, race bike gloves, leather boots and jeans at a minimum....saved my ass when I slammed into the back of the Mazda diesel doing 80 kmh in the acceleration lane..think I hit him at 140 kmh. Got a bloody nose from the helmet hitting me, as I went through my fairing, then his truck cap. Then as me and the bike slid down the 401 at around a hundred K, one internal zipper in the jacket ripped me a scar I still have today.. Once stopped, I was able to get up and pull my poor mess of a Gpz 550 off to the side of the highway.. Bike got a flat bed and I did eventually fix it OPP that did the accident scene dropped me off at the party I was headed to, after we stopped for a coffee. Had to gt me for "follow to close"...a pretty minor charge all things considered. Good times. Most cops are good people.
  3. It is an interesting debate but the bottom line is no matter how many ballots get lost. spoiled or otherwise canceled by subterfuge from either side, you get a turd sandwich. Turd with a side of socialist dementia or turd with a side of mental midget. No matter who wins, y'er fucked
  4. That's awesome...but... I can see a scenario where governments will have little choice but introduce a wealth tax. If business and employment taxes can't feed the bloated government it's unfair share, which is likely for some time...I'd hide your money, not flaunt it. Personally I invested in .556, .762, and the devices that eat them.
  5. Here in Canuckistan, the black face boy King is raining down money from his castle balcony. It seems he comes out daily and waves his hand, money falls from the sky. Here is a sobering website, for those that pay taxes in the true North strong and free. https://www.debtclock.ca/ If you live in Ontario, man, woman or child, you owe $45,000. If you are a single income family of four, that's $180,000, just in case you went through Ontario's shitty school system and can't do basic math.
  6. For sure. The last sport bike I owned was a '89 zx 10..bike I could not afford at 19 years old...good for 280 kmh rung right out...140 hp. New version of that bike is 200hp and at least 100 pounds less....the super bike of that version is pretty crazy. This is a not the production machine but still pretty cool....
  7. Super hot MILF next door bought an '85...still remember her and the car. I'd have hit both of them....and there ain't much from the 80's car scene that are worth remembering. Had an '85 300zx na, bought in around '93...handled pretty good but the HP was lacking. I reconsider..GM had the GNX and ford had the 5.0 mustangs...they didn't handle worth a shit but they have a cult following and some level of performance that made people look again in the 80's...those 5 litre mustangs made the jeeps look good for handling..but they did go quick in a straight line.
  8. That or the CK Blazer...many a night with a box of beer they made it through the creek to the back forty for a campfire.
  9. True that. This thing is an early 90's computer with wheels and an engine...some of it uselessly complicated like the radio, anti-lock brakes and the climate controls. No super hicas thank god. For a '90 it's pretty high tech, although dated now. Mine still works as made, but I have to do injector replacement. Everything on this car to be maintained or repaired is many times more hours to do on much else of the era. The OEM service manual for the electronics is just brutal for diagnosis... but I got lucky in the 80's and went to both auto shop and computer class...pretty much skipped everything else lol
  10. Father in law had a 2 plus 2, brother in law had a convertible. Fully restored, by them, down to the last bolt. Sold both for decent money. Still in demand. Sexy beasts, ahead of their time, just not my cup of British tea.
  11. Yep!! That would be my choice. Its an incredible machine for the money. Probably lose my licence or kill myself in it though. Currently have a '90 300zx NA 2+2. 100k kms, near mint original with a couple changes. Billy boat exhaust (only because the OEM was NLA) and a stereo upgrade. Piece of shit Bose that was a dumb idea. Had to remove the interior to do it. Would love to find a good condition North American TT and massage it to 600hp, but they are hard to find and stupid $$. Maybe Covid will help me out on that one.
  12. I have not...almost bought a 30-06 but cringed at the price of ammo. Burned hundreds of thousands of 7.62's through a C-6 on a bipod and a mounted tripod. Winter, midnight, every 4th round is a tracer, poring gun oil while firing so we could burn up the 50,000 rounds of ammo was a good time. Cleaning the range the next day however sucked balls
  13. I do remember that. I was a farm kid, bit by every critter that flew crawled or walked. Hornets, nests or ground personal best was a couple dozen or so stings at one time..Bees? No problem Thing is, at around that time I picked up a buddies hot tub with the loader tractor and there were some "bees" in it. Got it back to the shop and started to pull it apart. These "bees" were huge like a 2 inch body and beyond nasty. A normal bee would leave you alone if you left it alone. These fuckers would chase you for as long as it took. They wanted to get you. Took me a couple days to kill them in stealthy ways..as they would attack as soon as they saw you. They were not normal bees.
  14. "These weapons were designed for one purpose, and one purpose only, to kill the largest number of people in the shortest amount of time. There is no use and no place for such weapons in Canada," Trudeau said. Guess that means the cops have to turn in the C-8's...don't want to militarize the police, or allow them to kill the largest number of people in the shortest time. Military...that's their job. They can keep them.
  15. Probably...but My Bushmaster AR-15 is a solid weapon although not as tough as the Colt built C-7 the CF uses. The Bushmaster probably wouldn't take the day to day beating the Colt does in the field a soldier gives it. Biggest difference is with the fire select. My Bushmaster is single shot only, the C7 has full auto. That full auto IMO is good for one thing only. Spray a bunch of bullets, really fast, towards someone in an attempt to make them think twice about firing back.Questionable use of rounds if they are in short supply. PWT3 has you fire on full auto, your last rounds, in a burst at a figure 11, at around 50 yards. Aim at the bottom 'cause by the third round the muzzle is now at best close to the top no matter how skilled you are The more seasoned cats just plunk a couple more rounds while standing at 100 yards. I got fatter in my older years and the run downs meant I needed every advantage I could get lol. There are far more effective rifles for killing. I could shoot an iron sight enfield .303 40 ish rounds in 60 seconds with a %90 hit rate at a couple hundred yards. Shoulder took a beating however. Way better, one shot one kill. The .556/223in FMJ is a limited power/effectiveness round..almost better to wound an enemy on the battlefield...that way you get a shot at his buddies trying to help him out...or the belt fed guns can fuck them up as they try. Not happy about the Canadian National Socialist party (Liberal), in power now pulling this shit by decree. Some of the guns they now say are prohibited, were unrestricted and therefore not traceable. This will do nothing to make Canada a safer country.
  16. Where do I get the 223 mm ammo and the big f'in gun that fires it? Perhaps they should have had an actual gun owner proof read that...2 for 7 ain't so good.
  17. I spat my coffee out laughing...
  18. Being indebted to foreign governments. led in the most part to WW2....Think about that..
  19. Pretty much correct. Some will see that as the government saving us. All levels of government have spent us into oblivion for years and have no money as back up. Why would citizens have a rainy day fund when our leaders do exactly the opposite? Ontario was 350 billion in the hole, Canada was a Trillion.. We are going to come out of this more in debt to the Chinese debt holders with our hat in hand... Fuck.
  20. Understand music bias, but an open mind and ear is good as well.. I turn 50 in a few weeks. Zepplin is timeless classic rock. The dial goes to 11 often. I have some very nice sound systems in the house, garage, shop ..they often offer up the neighbors musical melodies ...and I'm on 30 acres. Sometimes I find myself listening to Beethoven, Boston and new pop music, all in the same hour. I once was a music snob, but changed my ways. Hallelujah, God almighty I'm free at last.
  21. They are just massive. Saw one take off in Toronto. Been in Herc's, Globemasters,.Twin Otters, even a DC3 tail dragger from the 60's, quick touch, circle around, then landing and and taking off on the Arctic sea ice...that's probably the most what the fuck what are we doing with a 60 year old machine still flying. It was around -50 when they fired it up, got it prepped to fly. Had a fleet of Cat's and Yamaha's to be loaded. Half of the sleds wouldn't start, but that plane did. Resolute bay...its fucking cold
  22. Canada has a "pension" plan. You, and your employer pay into it all your working life. When you die, that money just goes back into the pot., you don't have any say where it goes and to whom. It's more of a ponzi scheme than a pension plan.
  23. M.a.m.e. 32 Google it if you like old games...tens of thousands of them
  24. This from a Canuck, that follows US politics fairly closely. I'd bet $100 the Donald/Republicans win again. His supporters are steadfast. The Democrats seem not to be able to field a likable, mainstream, electable candidate. Trade negotiations, your economy, employment are in great shape. I may believe that what Donny did, as far as the impeachment hearings was kinda sketchy, Biden and his kid, shit just as much... it won't matter. Your senate will shut that down. Just a waste of time/money and a political move by the house. That will backfire IMO. Trump in 2020.
  25. Very cool... Grouper eats the shark...I was this years old when I realized sharks are not always top of the food chain in the water
