A timed sprint lap?

You rode Mosport a couple years ago, I seem to remember.
TMP a lot flatter, LOL.

Yes, there is a bike race every year at Mosport on Good Friday, planning to do it again this year.
Yeah, TMP is a lot flatter, I am much better with the flat stuff

We do a race at the Police College's driver training course in Aylmer as well

Followed by "oh your here good can you fix this while I wait"

I just used the same touch up paint pens- in my case matched up a dark gun metal colour- comes with clear coat other end.
There’s various videos on YouTube curb rash repair.
May not be perfect but for me it was good enough for the rash I had.I’m always hugging the curb corner spot so I was thinking it did not warrant the cost of sending wheel in for full repair for the amount of rash I had.

Oh Mav my wheel is not a Ford wheel so my pen colour may not be the one you need.

When I was a kid, grandfather moved from here to head Physics dept at a Southern US university town. Some years later, hurricane hit hard enough entire sub division was blocked off with downed trees. Local equipment dealer saw a real opportunity to make crazy profit on chain saws. Sure peeps bought n used them when faced with no other choice, afterwards community banded together and drove him and his family out of business. Just as it was his choice to inflate prices during a time of desperate need, afterwards it was their choice to buy goods n services elsewhere, and they did.

Well double check those paint chips on display- as long as it’s close enough it blends in. U can save a total wheel repair if u bend or gouge your wheel worse than it is,besides when the itch comes you’ll be getting a second set of wheels (rims)anyway .

my wife has been home with the litter for a long time - I had to work harder but I think nothing would of changed paying for daycare - she has been driving the school bus for a few years now and often thought of getting full time work - I said to her it's not worth it, driving the bus is perfect because the kids still need her - it's been hard but she is home with them on summer vacation - maybe things will change when the last few are finally done - but I think it was the best thing for us...in many cases I find woman to be more valuable in the community - I meet a lot of woman truck drivers and to honest most of them are superior and don't complain half as much as the men...lol

Yeah, the future is feminine.

I have to add one more thing to this quote - sorry it's just me and it's been bugging me all night - when my grandmother was a young woman she worked at a fireworks company down on Lakeshore Road near Port Credit - I haven't been there for a while but I'm certain the building is still there. The factory employed mostly woman. During World War II my grandfather went to war and the fireworks factory was transformed into a facility that produced ammunition for the war. The vast majority of the workers there where woman, simple because all the men went war.

I'm not only proud of the fact that I'm the oldest grandchild to a woman who was the jell that held my large family together, but a woman who was a huge part of history with many other woman like her. Like most woman she never complained and only wanted what was best for her men and the country. When push come to shove woman are in most cases the strongest.

Always wondered about whitewalls...

The first car tires in the early 1900s were made of natural white colored rubber. Around 1910, to increase durability, tire manufacturers added a strip of carbon black to only the tire's tread surface, leaving the white rubber sidewalls still exposed. Additional bit of trivia: The Michelin Man (Bibendum) is white because his design pre-dates carbon-black tires

Anyways, was pretty cool to race against someone like that even if it's virtual. If only Dale Jr. joined.... *faints*

Especially if I get laid off work. Finish my MBA, take an intensive crash course on python and react.js to have programming as backup plan (I have 10+ years exp in PHP, SQL, JS, Java, .Net anyway lol) and build my super clean dream fox.

So yesterday was my 15 th day of 14 day isolation. Was happy to get out of the house and stock up on groceries and let’s not kid ourselves the LCBO. My local Supermarket was well organized with staff wiping down carts , showing what cashier to line up in front of etc..... here’s my rant - Fuck tards as humans - not everyone but one women who had all 3 of her kids there ( ages 8 months - 3 years approx) kids are hanging off the carts sniffling/sneezing and have nasty blankets with them in the cart. This person tries not once but twice to bud in line and came way to close to me in the cashier line and I politely asked her to move back. She is then asked by the staff of the supermarket to take a spot at the back of the line and she gave this poor staff member attitude, also line was only 4 people so no biggy ...Don’t bring kids to supermarket during these times especially 3 with sniffles ! Rant over...hate stupid people....

Be safe out there everyone!

You don't have to stay in your house to be self isolated or keep social distance. This is a local hiking trail. We went out last week when it was nice out. 5km not 1 single person. Not so easy in the gta I guess.

It all comes down to what you want lol, and I’d love to do everything you mentioned, coyote swap and buy the Z06. My uncles friend has a 2012 Z06, told me he’d give it to me for 40k, it’s 6 speed manual black in black with only 15k on it. Steal of a deal.

I hadn't had alcohol or fast food for 7 months until this thing hit. Was also working out 5 times a week. Honestly felt the best mentally and physically I had felt in long long time. Since this hit I haven't worked out and have been eating like shit as well as drinking and have noticed a pretty drastic decline in my mental health.

If there has been any good from all this - so far - my 18 year old gamer is getting board and tired of being closed in and hasn't been able to leave the house for a few weeks now. He's actually looking for things to do and help out with - I think it won't be long before I can finally get him down in the garage and teach him how to use his hands and mind in other ways....and I have the perfect project in mind for him - this was his bike and he neglected to keep the oil topped up - he started to work on it and then gave up - the fuel tank was plastic and cracked from the fuel and leaking - a replacement tank was almost as much as the bike so I decided to build a 225 custom (this one is four stroke)…
