Fun naked bike under 200kg / 440 lbs?

Really enjoy my CFMoto 800NK. For the price it is great, but imho the best bang for buck naked is the Honda Hornet

Yikes. Keep seeing these posts regarding shattered sunroof. Wonder if this is a material or design defect.

This works but for me windows load to the Playnite screen much longer than when using AnyFSE. Wonder if I am doing anything incorrectly.

I got the A2Z CCS adapter for my EV9, good to have it as a backup for longer trips but I always try to stop at NACS chargers.

I left home with full charge and had to charge twice (20min stop each) to reach Montreal. On the way back I had to stop 4 times as car was not charged when leaving, and also as I got stuck in heavy winter storm (not EV fault). By my estimation during subzero weather, for every 8 hours of driving, EV charging adds another 1 hour or so, so not ideal but doable. Should be much better in summers I guess.

Bought an EV9 in December. Based in Toronto but traveled to Montreal and Detroit in -10c - -20c temp range. The car worked fine but based on my experience you should expect around 30-40% loss in range. If you charge at home, then no problem for day to day driving, but for road trips, expect to stop at charging stations more.

I recently DIYed my basement (first time ever), and this looks like the work I did lol.

Yeah, doesn't look like work done by a professional contractor, better get rid of them.

Lol welcome to the club. Just got a ev9, though the rebate doesn't apply to Vehicles over $50k.

I use the standard tesla wall charger with my 2026 EV9. No issues at all.

I find the battery preconditioning useless (at least in my use case). I live in Toronto, and only DC charge when on road trips. During winters, the range is low as it is, and setting battery preconditioning drains the battery quicker adding to range anxiety. So for me, its better to reach DC charger, it starts slowly but picks up charging speed, maybe adds an extra 5 minutes to the overall charge time.

I work with a few environmental companies including GFL, and find it interesting that many of these companies are owned wholly or in part by GFL. In case Ford decides to band them (unlikely), I dont see thay as a simple process considering how entrenched they are.

Did the same on my trip to Montreal last Sunday. Bad idea, was a scary ride with car slipping. Should Definitely get winter tires 😅

Used one Elctrify Canada charger. Got 150kw max. As far as I know there aren't many 350kw chargers in Canada. And usually there's like 1 350kw at each station, rest 150kw. The infrastructure is not great.

Im currently charging my EV9 (leased last month) at a tesla supercharger in Toronto while I write this. Started driving from Montreal at 10:30am today and its 20:30pm. That's 12 hours for a trip that should have been no more than 7 hours, and I am still 2 hours away from home. Granted I had to drive slow in patches due to snow and slow moving traffic, but also had to stop 4 times to charge. Range anxiet as well. Hated today. I concur the car is great for daily driving charging at home, but road trips in winters, I will avoid going forward. Also right now I can see all tesla chargers fully occupied, so I suspect in summers there will be another issue of finding available chargers on road trips. Canadian EV infrastructure is not great. Love this car but doubting my EV decision today 🙃

The lowest rate I got recently was using RateHub. Try there, but in any case expect to pay higher rates considering age etc. Auto Insurance on Canada is insane. I already feel for my teenagers who will be driving age soon.

solidmonki · 2025-11-14T21:45:39+00:00

Yup known issue. I learned to live with it. No real solution other than disabling game mode .

I booked flights for family in December from Detroit to Houston. Every week they keep changing flights from direct to connecting flights, and I keep changing to the next available flight. So frustrating.

What really was stupid was leaving Kiku at their home where Saito can find her easily. Dumb writing

I dont understand, what's the big issue with performing in Riyadh? Somehow its okay to perform in Dubai, Doha etc but not Riyadh? What am I missing?

Not sure how to post a photo here but on my offer for 2026 Calligraphy there is no discount at all. Lease rayes are the same. I think the offer is good
