By Billy Rainford It’s Monday morning and when I look at the forecast on my phone it tells me the days where the temperature starts with a “-” are in our rearview mirror! We had to deal with some brutal weather here in southwestern Ontario the past couple weeks, but I think we can see the grass at the end of the semi-permafrost! Yesterday, it actually snuck up above zero
Frid’Eh Update #12 | Sebastien Racine | Brought to You by RP Race Performance By Billy Rainford Welcome to Week #12 of the DMX Frid’Eh Update brought to you by RP Race Performance. We got lulled into a false sense of spring here in Southwestern Ontario a couple weeks ago with summer-like weather. Unfortunately, we got some weird lake effect snow the past couple days and you can just barely
By Billy Rainford I need to start this Monday Morning Coffee on a really scary note. As racing began Saturday at the Motoplayground Spring a Ding Ding at Oak Hill MX in Texas, the first race of the day was on the track, 250 B. #305 Alistair Dickert had something happen to him that we all brush of as an impossibility – he was actually struck by lightning while racing.
Frid’Eh Update #11 | Davey Fraser | Brought to You by RP Race Performance By Billy Rainford Welcome to Week #11 of the DMX Frid’Eh Update brought to you by RP Race Performance. We’ve got so much going on at the house these days that I was unable to get to Indianapolis today for Media Day. I’ll leave when Emily gets home from work at 6 and get there sometime
By Billy Rainford So, I rolled into the house at around 1:00am from another trip down to Florida and another drive in the DMX Van. I keep saying it’s the “last time” I do it in the Dodge Grand Caravan, but I’m just not going to say that anymore. Who knows?! Maybe I drive it until it completely dies and I’m forced to have it towed to a junkyard and
By Billy Rainford Well, this Monday Morning Coffee was supposed to be coming to you from somewhere along I-75 southbound as I made my way to Florida for this ultra-busy trip to the Sunshine State. Unfortunately, the old DMX Van had other ideas. I change the oil and filter in our driveway every 8000kms. So yes, that means this was the 50th Anniversary oil change! I noticed a new leak
By Billy Rainford Happy Family Day, everyone. From knowinsiders.com: Family Day in Canada, the third Monday in February, is technically not a national, federally-mandated holiday. But most Canadians live in areas that celebrate it as a province-level statutory holiday — in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, New Brunswick, and Saskatchewan as ‘Family Day;’ in Manitoba as ‘Louis Riel Day;’ in Nova Scotia as ‘Nova Scotia Heritage Day,’ and on Prince Edward
Frid’Eh Update #7 | Bobby Kiniry Podcast | Brought to You by RP Race Performance By Billy Rainford Welcome to Week #7 of the DMX Frid’Eh Update brought to you by RP Race Performance. I’m currently sitting in Salon 108 at the Enercare Centre in the Toronto Exhibition grounds for the Toronto Motorcycle and Powersport Show. It’s Day 1 here for the show and I’ve just made one quick loop
By Billy Rainford The Monday after a rather interesting weekend in my hometown area. It was 15 degrees Celsius on Friday in London, ON. That’s not exactly how mid-February normally goes in these parts and it meant Gopher Dunes was open for riding. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to leave the house for much after picking up a bug and being down for the count the last few days. Not a
