New Year New Ride: Triumph America

Update: How to ride a motorcycle safely

Well I finally traded in my old motorcycle and got a new ride, a used Triumph America. Every bike has pros and cons. I really liked my old bike. That's why I put over 150,000 km on it. 

Yet realistically if I'm ever going to go on my three long rides across Canada and the US, I need something reliable with a few less km on it. I found a really good deal on one and I thought it was one of those situations where you have to seize the day. 

Ted Simon's first trip around the world on a motorcycle which he wrote a book about called Jupiter's Travels was on a Triumph. He published another book about it called Jupiter's Travels in Camera filled with pictures he took a long his journey. 

Elspeth Beard. Riding and camping. That's what it's all about.

Yesterday when I rode in to work in the morning it was one degree, dark, foggy and frosty. I thought great first day back on the motorcycle and there's black ice. It wasn't too bad but the road was wet and frosty so I took it easy. Today was minus one. 

I think I'll make a separate post about safe riding practices. I'm not a speed demon but I have ridden full seasons for many years and do have some experience with motorcycle safety. 

I've seen a lot of guys with mangled injuries from being hit on a motorcycle. Some things you can't avoid but you just have to assume no one can see you. Especially when it's dark out and raining. You also have to drive for the conditions. Racing around like an idiot on wet or frosty roads is unwise.

It's taking me a bit to get used to some of the minor differences with this bike and get a feel for it but I really like it. It's pretty old so it has a very vintage feel to it. I told the mechanic not to bother with the windshield and he said well at least take it with you. Then I saw it and thought that's not very invasive and decided to give it a try. 

I've never ridden a motorcycle with a faring or windshield. As I suspected, it's much smoother at higher speeds on the freeway. On my old bike as soon as you go over 100 K you're wrestling with the wind and the bike is all over the road.

This bike is very smooth. Going from 100 K to 120 K is not noticeable. On my other bikes it sure was. It doesn't sound as big and bad as my Boulevard with custom Cobra pipes but that's OK. This one is for road trips. It kinda sounds like a vespa or a sewing machine but it's not an invasive sound like a 2 stroke. 

You have to be double jointed to put the kickstand up when you're sitting on the bike but I'm getting used to that. Overall I really like it. I think the windscreen is perfect. My head is above it so I still get the wind on my face but it's very smooth on the freeway. As I get older that's kind of nice.

I'm getting readjusted to shifting with my toe again. I got really comfortable with the heel shifter on my previous bike. When I rode to work in the morning yesterday it was a bit cool on my face and legs. I use an open face helmet and when it's dark out I wear clear safety glasses instead of sunglasses.  

When it's raining or really cold out, I have a snap on face shield I use. Rain on your face after 80 K is irritating. The face shield is comfortable for the rain or cold. Today I used my face shield and rain pants as a wind break and at minus one it was comfortable.

I had one troll try to trash my new bike saying it's an under powered dog that won't make it up a hill let alone mountain. I'm wondering if that guy was on crack or just an idiot. All the reviews on this bike are awesome. It's a great bike for going on long rides because it is reliable.

Triumph is a reputable brand. They didn't try and copy Harley and make a V twin, they stuck with their own side by side design and it has proven to be very reliable. I've seen guys on the ferry to the Sunshine coast on Triumph Rockets. It's the side by side twin times three. Six cylinders in total for a weight to power ratio that's staggering. I don't need that much power.

I don't need 114 cubic inches. That's 1868 cc. 865 cc is fine for me. It's cheaper on gas and cheaper on insurance. If you're going on a long road trip being cheaper on gas is a good thing. 

This bike has an old school manual choke like a lawn mower. It works great. It starts in the cold no problem. This bike has a chain. For most people that's common. Chain or belt drive but all my motorcycles have been shaft drive. That's how I could ride in the snow. I lace rope on the tires like chains. When you drive or dry pavement the rope starts to come off. With a shaft drive that's no problem. With a chain, that's a big problem.

Parts of the rope as they come flying off could get stuck in the chain and damage the motorcycle. So I'm not going to ride in the snow on this bike. Been there, done that. This bike has a really nice paint job and I don't want to scratch it. 

Since it is my first experience with a chain on a motorcycle I asked the mechanic what kind of maintenance does it require. He asked if I ride in the rain and I was like yeah. That means you have to clean it more often since the water and dirt spraying up from the road will get in the chain.

He said you just get a motorcycle jack and lift the rear tire a few inches off the ground so it spins. Then you use a cleaner spray to clean it. Then when it's try you use a different spray to lubricate it. I asked about WD40 and he said the proper ones are better so I bought one of each from him. Just like your guns. You have to clean them and lubricate them.

Update: Day three my motorcycle wouldn't start. I was somewhat discouraged. It wouldn't even turn over and for some reason I couldn't push start it. I called the mechanic and he said it sounded like the solenoid and I wondered if I could bypass the solenoid to get the bike started so I could ride it in to get the solenoid replaced. Sure could. Once you know how to do it, it's easy.

Invoking the Emergencies Act was unconstitutional

🚨The Court of Appeal has dismissed the appeal of Justice Mosley’s decision, confirming once again that invoking the Emergencies Act was unconstitutional.

That is a really big deal and the Court of Appeal was unequivocal:

When we look back on the largest peaceful protest in Canadian history, we need to remember how the media misrepresented it. Locals with cell phones showed how the CBC would report on it with their back to the crowd to misrepresent the number of people in attendance. The Cloverdale border crossing in support of the Convoy was very well attended. 

We remember watching police on horses trample a peaceful elderly woman who was disabled. That was disgusting. It stained all of us. If the trucks were illegally parked they could have started towing them without an emergency order. Instead they used the emergency order to physically beat peaceful protesters. That was a dark day in Canadian history. 

We need to remember how Justin Trudeau responded to the protesters in Ottawa and how Netanyahu has completely ignored the ongoing mass protests and general strike in Israel. These are the same people that want to "liberate" Iran. Not. It's a double standard. They support MEK who are terrorists.

More insights on the Dirty News Blogger's Extradition

While we're here let's talk about two more arguments refuting the false charges against the Dirty News blog. The trolls keep trying to defame him because they're on the PoPo's payroll. Blaze said I shouldn't keep talking about him because it will damage my credibility. Like I ever gave a f*ck about that. 

The mainstream media has no credibility. A friend of the world is an enemy to God. Not that I care about that but a friend of the world is an enemy to the truth. If the world speaks highly of you, that's a bad sign. They give themselves awards for lying.

It is crystal clear that 6ademixs did not alter the Khalistan referendum logo to defame them. The government of India did. So we clearly have at least one intelligence agency working overtime trying to set him up and fabricate a false story about him. The CBC was involved as well.

The CBC claimed that they messaged 6ademiks on a fake X account impersonating him after he made a post about Ryan Wedding paying his TP well and claimed he said this and that about Ryan Wedding in the messages. First of all, that wasn't him. I subscribe to his X. That post was never on it. 

The CBC claim the fake account they saw it on has since been deleted but they provided a screen shot. His real X account has not been deleted. It's still there for the world to see along with his back up X account. Was that fake account the government of India like the other one or was it the FBI? You tell me. It doesn't matter because it wasn't him and people are going out of their way to set him up. Why? Why would they do that?

To eliminate independent media. We all see how they try to control the media and cancel anyone who posts anything contrary to their narrative. They tried the same thing to me. 

So let's look at the two new arguments. Recently I posted a picture of Lil Man after he was shot dead before they burned the house down. At first I thought it was AI but then a not really independent YouTuber quoted Post Media News who claim the CFSEU told them it was real. Are they going to arrest me for posting it? The picture I posted has the photo credit embedded in the picture. That's where whoever sent it to me got it from. 

Who sent it to them? Who knows? It could have been anyone. It was passed around on social media. What if it was a FBI agent pretending to be an associate of Ryan Wedding? 

What if it was a picture of a police informant that was killed? Would the FBI arrest me for posting a picture of a murdered police informant? Is it unlawful to do so? No it is not. 

So all these false claims about 6ademiks aren't unlawful, they just build a defamation campaign against him in the eyes of the public. The FBI claim the Dirty News Blogger was paid by Ryan Wedding to post a picture of a police informant they killed. 

First of all, he never did that. It was never posted on his website which they seized under false pretense and it was never posted on his X account. Only on fake social media accounts impersonating him. 

So he didn't do it but even if he had, that's not against the law. If I, 6ademiks or anyone else post a picture of a dead police informant that is not against the law. 

It's not just cause to extradite him and send him to a US Guantanamo bay. There is no evidence of unlawful activity on the table worthy of his extradition. The only other claim is that Ryan Wedding paid him not to write about him.

First of all, that's not true. He did write about Ryan Wedding. I saw it. Only unlike me, 6ademiks didn't claim the charges against Ryan Wedding were fake, he said they were real. He simply quoted mainstream media outlets that said Ryan Wedding was a large scale drug dealer. 

So first all all, the FBI lied when they said Ryan Wedding paid the Dirty News not to write about him. That accusation is false because he had written about him. I saw it. However, even if their false claim was true, which it is not, that isn't unlawful.

Say for example the Hells Angels paid me to stop writing about them and I did. That's not unlawful. That's not a crime. So not only is the FBI allegation against the Dirty News blogger false, they aren't accusing him of committing a crime. That means according to the FBI's own indictment, there is no evidence of 6ademiks having committed any crime. They have not met the requirements of extradition. That means the extradition has no lawful reason to proceed. Free 6ademiks.

The BIBO war with the Brother's Keepers

Let's talk about BIBO's war with the Brother's Keepers and how that proves the fake news is lying again. Remember BIBO's rap beef with BK? It was more than a rap beef. It was a real beef that was killed by another betrayal.

What was BIBO? BIBO was a faction within the Red Scorpions that was run by Gary Kang. It stood for Blood, in Blood out. Implying that you had to kill to get in and be killed to get out which is a separate dilemma all on it's own. 

The Red Scorpions are a puppet club that sell drugs for the Hells Angels. The Wolf Pack actually. Larry Amero and Damion Ryan. Before the Surrey Six murder they worked for the UN when the UN was at it's peak. After the Surrey Six, the Red Scorpions started working for the Hells Angels. 

Jamie Bacon tried to tax Corey Lal for Larry Amero because Jamie's brother Jonathan Bacon was best friends with Larry Amero. They knew each other since High school.

Jamie Bacon hid behind Jonathon's friendship with Gumby so Spike wouldn't tax him. After Jonathon was killed Jamie Bacon was tired of being a HA b*tch. Gary Kang led a faction within RS that was trying to break free of the Hells Angels control and ownership of RS. Jamie Bacon supported Gary Kang while he paid the HA tax. The Brother's Keepers are a Hells Angels puppet club run by the Edmonton Angels. 

There was a war between Gary Kang's BIBO and the Brother's Keepers because the Brother's Keepers were trying to prevent BIBO from breaking off of HA control. Shrek was BK and Shrek was a Jamie Bacon associate. It wasn't a BK RS beef it was a BK BIBO beef. The Hells Angels put Jamie Bacon in charge of the RS and hired the Brother's Keepers to kill anyone from BIBO. Then Jamie Bacon went into Witness Protection.

Jamie Bacon made an audio trying to recruit Mathew Johnston into joining him in the Program because he needed a body guard again. Jamie lied and said the bikers were stealing from him. In reality, if it wasn't for the bikers, Jamie Bacon wouldn't be in charge of the Red Scorpions and wouldn't be making any money. Jamie Bacon lied to justify ratting out the Hells Angels. 

Kyle Latimer and Lol Lanski cut a deal with the HAs. They betrayed BIBO and helped with some prison beatings to secure their leadership within the Red Scorpions after Jamie Bacon went into Witness Protection. After that, BIBO was dead in the water. BIBO did not kill Lil Man. His own crew did. 

The fake news is repeating the false claims from the CFSEU predicting retaliation from rivals for Lil Man's murder. They fabricated a ridiculous fantasy about a hired hit man from outside. Lil man was killed by someone he knew. Someone he trusted. These are the same lies they tried to spread when Gary Kang was murdered. They claimed Aness Mohamed was killed by the UN in retaliation for Gary Kang. They lied. The Wolf Pack killed them both. They tried to make it look like it was a rival when it was really them.

Just like how they created RK after the Wolf Pack was given the DTES. Redd Alert was a First Nations gang that sold drugs for the Edmonton Angels. They took back all the drug dealers in the DTES from the UN for the HAs. Then the powers that be gave the DTES to the Wolf Pack and gave Surrey to the Edmonton Angels. So they killed Glen Nelson's wife to force him to comply.

Then they created RK, the Redd Alert Killas to make it look like the UN was going after the Redd Alert when it was really them. The Wolf Pack supplied RK. These lies are tied to the CFSEU. The same people who released Lil man after telling the media he was Canada's most wanted fugitive. That was shady.

Lisa Banfield gives exclusive interview

Speaking of fake news, this is off the hook. Lisa Banfield, Gabe Wortman's fake common law swinger spouse just gave CTV an exclusive interview about what she claims happened the night of the mass shooting in Nova Scotia. She's lying through her teeth.

Gabe Wortman was a police agent and so was she. She was his fake common law spouse in that cross border drug and guns operation. They were in an open relationship. He was having threesomes with the neighbor and several young girls. He was not a controlling ex. That is a bold faced lie.

In Paul Palango's podcast about his new book on Dispersing the Fog, he talked about Lisa Banfeild's disposable income. Paul said Lisa's tax returns claim she made 15 thousand dollars a year but she had a five thousand dollars a month credit card bill.

I can't believe the fake news is still gas lighting us over this. She spent Christmas with her family while Gabe stayed home having threesomes with the neighbors. If he really was her common law spouse, she would have brought him to be with her family at Christmas. She is lying with impunity and the fake news is eating it up. She was paid by the New Brunswick RCMP just like Gabe was because they were both police agents. 

Naseem Ali Mohammed: Lil man's Eulogy

Update: The BIBO war with the Brother's Keepers

The fake news has confirmed that it was Lil Man or Certi 2x who was found dead in the recent Surrey fire so let's talk about that. The fake news also said a whole lot of things that weren't true so let's talk about that as well. However, I'd also like to make this a eulogy of sorts to discuss his high risk lifestyle.

I wasn't going to post this picture because it's not my style. However, since this is a funeral, let's make it open casket. One of the reasons 6ademiks would post videos of graphic murders was to discourage young people from getting involved with gangs. That's why he did it. I don't, but I will today to honor 6ademiks and to reflect on Lil man's life.

First of all, I don't know whether or not this picture is AI but the first thing I want to comment on is the peaceful look on his face. When I attended Brittney Irving's murder trial the court showed a picture of the expression on Brittney's face when they discovered her dead body. I'll never forget it. She was grimacing in pain and that pain was frozen on her face permanently. 

It was no doubt the pain of being shot in the back with a shotgun slug but more so the pain of betrayal. She was in a relationship with Joey and trusted him. When Blaze showed up and pointed the shotgun at her as she ran she knew she had been betrayed. In Lil man's picture he looks peaceful. Almost like how a mortician strives to make the cadaver look happy for an open casket funeral. That's why I'm thinking this might be AI.

My point is, unlike Brittney Irving, Lil man looks peaceful. Like he didn't even see it coming which is often the case. Looks like he was just chillin at home and someone shot him in the back of the head when he wasn't looking. Which would reinforce a comment someone made on the other thread. He probably knew the shooter and thought he was a friend.

Which brings us back to the high risk lifestyle. I think the tragic images stuck in my mind are this picture of him lying in a small pool of blood and the picture he posted on social media holding a wad of cash beside a pair of luxury name brand running shoes. He died for a pair of sneakers. That's tragic. 

What's even more tragic is that he killed people for a pair of sneakers. I wrote about that once. In the Bible there's a story about a guy who sold his birthright for a bowl of soup. Well here we have someone who sold their birthright for a pair of sneakers. That is an inherit tragedy. 

That's something young kids really need to think about. Do you really want to die for a pair of sneakers or a stupid watch? Do you want to sell your birthright by killing someone for a pair of sneakers or a stupid watch? That isn't even short sighted. It's totally messed up. It's like killing someone for a bowl of soup.

When we used to take youth to volunteer at Harbor light food line in East Vancouver the guys always used to say stay in school. Don't end up like us. Well if Lil Man could speak from the gave I'm sure he'd say don't end up like me. Meaning he was completely betrayed. So let's talk about that. Let's talk about how Lil Man was set up from day one and betrayed by the clowns that hired him and paid him.

I broke the story that Damion Ryan hired Lil Man to kill Anees Mohammed aka Mo. The Wolf Pack tried to make Mo's murder look like retaliation for Gary Kang's murder but it wasn't. They killed them both. So why did they try and make it look like the UN killed him? The same reason the fake news lied and said James Riach had switched sides and was working with the UN. That lie was tied to the Five Eyes. 

I heard someone claim they saw on Facebook a lot of brown guys celebrating Lil man's murder because Lil Man was responsible for killing a lot of brown guys. I think this is where someone's reputation gets a bit exaggerated over time. 

Lil man killed Mo and a young kid in Surrey getting out of a cab. How many other murders he was involved with might be a bit exaggerated. Mo was discipline. He worked for Damion Ryan and started to flex so Damion Ryan paid to have him killed. 

After the Edmonton Angels killed Ali they brought in some Driftwood Crips to keep any dissenting Brother's Keepers in line and Lil man was the connection between BK and Driftwood in Surrey. A handful of Somalians who were used, abused, then kicked to the curb by the Cub pack just like Zone 43. 

It is a dirty game so don't play it. Stay far away from it. Let's also remember how f*cked up IHIT and the CFSEU are in BC. The CFSEU wouldn't bust Damion Ryan because he kept rolling on the people he hired to do hits. He had his peeps roll on Lil Man as soon as he paid him. Lil Man was a most wanted fugitive when he was busted in Washington. 

Then when US immigration handed him over to Canadian law enforcement, Canadian law enforcement let him go and the Dirty News pointed out he was filming himself walking around Metrotown. So he went from being Canada's most wanted fugitive to you're free to go. That was shady. 

The Driftwood Crips

The Driftwood Crips are big in Toronto. They're huge there. That's where they're from. Driftwood in North York Jane and Finch. That's their hood, that's their crib and as the orange lunatic would say, that's their hemisphere. 

There's not a huge black community in Surrey like in Toronto and Montreal. A lot of Haitians went to Quebec because they speak French. There are a lot of black guys from Buenaventura in Colombia moving to Surrey but they have jobs. Several buff brothers from Buenaventura go to my gym. They work all day in construction and have trades, then they come to the gym after work. They're not selling drugs. Pot is very unpopular in Colombia. Cocaine is mostly for tourists. 

I've talked about how a lot of Canadian rappers back east haven't evolved. They're still going off on petty beefs chasing money in the club. It's a shallow world and a high risk life. 

Hamas says it will dissolve its Gaza government when new Palestinian body takes over

The Associated Press is reporting that "Hamas said Sunday it will dissolve its existing government in Gaza once a Palestinian technocratic leadership committee takes over the territory, as mandated under the US - brokered peace plan. But the group gave no specifics on when the change will occur." 

"Hamas and the rival Palestinian Authority, the Palestinians’ internationally recognized representative, have not announced the names of the technocrats, who are not supposed to be politically affiliated, and it remains unclear if they will be cleared by Israel and the US." Netanyahu runs Hamas.

Palestinians need local representation. It's impossible for  a political organization not to be politically affiliated. You need a political organization to run the country. Fatah is the one to do it. Hamas is either the worlds worst terrorist organization or they work directly for Netanyahu since they were created by Mossad to push Fatah out after the PLO agreed to the Oslo accord.
