Monday Morning Coffee

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

Monday Morning Coffee

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

Monday Morning Coffee

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

Monday Morning Coffee

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

Monday Morning Coffee

Monday Morning Coffee opinion column where we talk about what happened over the weekend with a decidedly Canadian slant. By Billy Rainford I remember watching young New Zealander #17 Cole Davies at a Supercross Futures race last season and being impressed with his skills. The big news was that Ben Townley was onsite helping him out, so it was really cool to see him back at the track. At A2

Monday Morning Coffee | 2024 Supercross Round 3 and We Still Don’t Have Any Idea

By Billy Rainford It’s Monday morning after Round 3 of the 2024 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego. We had another wet race, so that makes 2 out of 3 that were not “ideal.” They say mud is the great equalizer, and that seems to be playing out so far in 2024. The title of this column states that we still don’t have any idea
