![]() ![]() I spent more time with the SYM Wolf Classic than with any other bike over the 2014 riding season and had no desire to return it even after the snow arrived. Anyway, I decided that the oglers – and there were many – either saw something familiar or attractive about the SYM, with its classic, understated styling and eye-catching red on white livery, or I had something lodged in my teeth, which they could clearly identify owing to the stupid grin I was wearing most of the time. It does have two-position adjustable clip-ons, a kick-starter, fork gaiters and chrome analog gauges after all. So I guess you’d call it an authentic café. And while you’re moseying, you may also notice people pointing and staring at you on this café-esque throwback that never actually got thrown back or thrown away for that matter, just improved on since SYM started building these simple bikes all those years ago. How had I not noticed that half-covered 1968 Camaro rotting away next to the old barn? Okay, so maybe there are some things best left unseen, but the point is, you’ll have time to look around. There was great satisfaction to be found just putting along and taking in the passing scenery that I’d been blowing by in my car or on more powerful bikes. Mind you, a more sedate approach to riding suits the SYM best. Ringing this bike’s neck is part of the enjoyment, as it is with most small bikes, and there’s little guilt associated thanks to the engine’s tough, Nikasil-coated bore and proven components being more than capable of taking the flogging. ![]() ![]() Even at that speed the front disc brake with steel-braided line has no problem slowing down the fun. The Wolf Classic skips along at 80 km/h with little issue, and on a slight downhill, she can be coaxed over 100 km/h. For the sum of $2,999 plus freight, prep and taxes, you get a reliable and handsome motorcycle that makes a good commuter in the city or on surface streets. The riding experience on the Wolf Classic is where you can make a strong argument for purchasing this small, modestly propelled and priced motorbike. As the SYM turned into a long-term fixture, so too did the effective little saddlebags. But there’s no argument with their functionality. Other than the occasional false neutral at high rpm, the bike we tested actually came with a pair of protrusions: small saddle bags that I was determined to remove. We could liken the design to a smooth stone you might find on the shoreline: 40 years of rolling down SYM’s assembly lines have rounded off any objectionable protrusions on this bike’s character, performance and appearance. It’s still carbureted and fuelling is spot on, as were the clutch, shifter and gearbox. The power is adequate to keep you in the flow of traffic on all but super-slab surfaces, and fuel economy is a miserly 2.7 L/100 km – even with the throttle pinned from time to time. The Wolf Classic has less than 15 hp and weighs 120 kg, with a seat height of 760 mm this motorcycle is as beginner-friendly and unintimidating as a bike could be. In regard to specs and components, let’s be frank, it’s not about high performance or cutting-edge technology. The bike we tested is essentially an updated 150 cc version of the original CB125S, sold under the SYM banner. When Honda terminated its contract with Sanyang in 2002, the assembly lines just kept on rolling. SYM began assembling motorcycles under licence from Honda in 1961 and, more significantly in our case, began assembling Honda’s CB125S overhead-cam single in 1969. His words, and I quote, were “Keep it as long as you’d like.” So I did, and then I kept it a little longer.įor those not familiar with the SYM Motorcycle brand name, it’s a division of Sanyang Industry Co. My rejuvenation, so to speak, arrived in the form of a 2014 SYM 150 Wolf Classic, kindly delivered to our offices by SYM’s Canadian distributor and Motorsports Canada Ltd. Perhaps it’s riding around at the peak of a machine’s ability without the fear of tickets or bodily harm, or in this case maybe it was riding a motorcycle that began production before I was born. They make me feel like a kid again, and that’s quite a feat these days. There’s no overstating the importance of being understated ![]()

![]() ![]() I used to be very wary of buying anything nice, but now that it's budgeted for, I really love it. ![]() The beauty of having a plan and automating is that 1) we save a lot of money and 2) when we spend money, it feels like purposeful spending. And we haven't fought about money in almost 5 years. We have categories for fun money (individually) so that we can maintain some independence. ![]() Now all our savings, investing and spending is automated. I always thought of myself as the saver and her as the spender, but I would take out a lot of cash with our grocery shopping and use it for going out. The beauty of YNAB (and probably a lot of other budgeting apps) is that it makes all our spending transparent. At first I was skeptical, but then started using it after every transaction. The arguments were mainly about Target shopping. She thought we needed to still buy nice things for our house - we couldn't live like paupers. I felt like at our combined income we should be saving and investing money. All those things have made it way too complicated to maintain separate accounts.Ī few years ago money was the main source of our arguing. Since then we've moved country, bought a house, moved to a larger house, had a baby, inherited some money, invested, etc. Also, after we married, I decided to take a year off work to write fiction. This worked splendidly until we began planning our wedding, and parents gave us differing contributions for the total expense. So we changed the formula to multiply my contributions by 0.5. This lasted for a while, but I realized she could never save for a vacation or anything fun because she made about half my salary. If one of us contributed more than the other, the other would then pay the next bill. We entered every expense into a spreadsheet. Ha.īefore we were married, my wife and I started with separate accounts. Not because of what she's going to spend on it or because we don't need it, but because I know she'll forget about it, not tell me we owe or do it last minute, and then I'm going crazy creating another online account and praying we're not late to pay. I still cringe whenever she gets a store card like, Children's Place, Victoria's Secret, TjMaxx, Freaking Kohls, etc. It was significant, and since I'm a little OCD when it comes to that, I told her I'd take over everything bills related, and she, of course, couldn't be happier. Because of that, her credit dropped from the 800s to high 700s. yeah, I gotta do that." Once she forgot to pay a $20 - $30 statement from freaking Kohl's and it posted as late on her report. So, at first, I had to constantly ask her if she'd paid her cards. Reason is she doesn't care about finances and she'll forget about her own. BUT, I'm in charge of paying all the bills. We do have a few that are just individual accounts, and neither has a desire to be AU on those. On most credit cards, we're AUs for each other. It's just weird how we get along even with 3 kids now.Īnyway, we have joint accounts for banking. I don't even recall a real fight for anything except a couple of arguments since we've been together (I can't even call them arguments - more like a difference of opinions). We've been married for 8 years now, and I must admit that I got lucky. ![]() ![]() ![]() Andertons Music Company is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, firm registration number 716155.

It was the best flavored hard cheese at the 2022 Wisconsin State Fair Dairy Products Contest. The company said it was awarded more than 150 red, white and blue ribbons in numerous categories. The 2022 World Dairy Expo Championship Dairy Product Contest just wrapped up, and the results are in. Prairie Farms’ results from 2017 state fair competitions in Illinois, Missouri and Kentucky were equally impressive. Winning companies are afforded unprecedented opportunities to promote their products as the “best of the best.” This year’s competition saw more than 1,200 product entries from all over the country in 79 contest classes, including cheese, fluid milk, yogurt, butter, sour cream, dairy dips, ice cream, cottage cheese and whey products, Prairie Farms said. The World Dairy Expo Championship Dairy Products contest, sponsored by the Wisconsin Dairy Products Association, is the only judging contest of its kind in North America. This includes twelve 1st-place finishes and a Grand Championship at the World Dairy Expo Championship Dairy Product Contest eight awards at the American Cheese Society Judging and Competition four awards and two top finishes at the Wisconsin State Fair Dairy Products Contest a bronze award for Caves of Faribault St. Prairie Farms competed in 27 categories and won 40 awards, that’s nearly 50% of total category awards and more than any of our competitors,” said Rebecca Leinenbach, vice president of marketing and communications for Prairie Farms. “To earn prestigious World Dairy Expo Awards, a dairy company must offer top-quality products.

Because it shared a platform with the Mazda RX-8, it was easy to swap in more robust suspension components without resorting to the aftermarket. The MX-5 was the epitome of sports cars back in the day, boasting ample power from a small engine, low weight, sporty styling, and the perfect balance of a front-mounted engine and rear-wheel drive, with a manual gearbox in the middle.Īlthough originally under-appreciated, the NC Miata has become an icon in its own right and a hit among Spec Miata racers. The Mazda Miata is one of the most iconic cheap JDM cars for sale and is one of the few on this list to still be on sale brand new, albeit in fourth-gen ND form. The first of two facelifts (NC2) arrived that year and brought a revised valvetrain that completely changed how the NC Miata felt, revving hard and screaming at you until redlining like the previous ones never did. You can pick up early third-gen Miatas (NC) for less than $8k, but we recommend only looking at the 2008-onwards cars for a reason. So, we've found 10 cheap JDM cars - all available for under $15,000 - to get you into the subculture for much less. There are new options like the Honda Civic or Acura Integra and even the Honda Civic Type R, but again, new vehicles are expensive. But the problem is that these cars are massively expensive. Popularized in the early days of The Fast and The Furious, JDM car culture has now proliferated throughout the ranks of automotive enthusiasts, driven by special cars like the Mazda RX-7, Mk4 Toyota Supra, R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R, Honda NSX, and more. A Toyota GR Supra, for example, might be considered JDM - especially with a few Japan-style modifications, but the chances of someone calling your standard Corolla XSE a JDM car are incredibly slim. ![]() While many Japanese imports (i.e., cars imported from Japan secondhand or in Japanese spec) can be called JDM models, the term has been popularized in recent years to simply describe cars from Japanese manufacturers - usually of the sporting variety - that earn you access to a unique little niche or car sub-culture. ![]() The term JDM stands for ' Japanese domestic market,' and by definition, refers to cars built for the Japanese market, like Kei cars. ![]() ![]() ![]() Save your notes or put your journal somewhere you will easily remember next year… Put a note in your calendar for next December or January labeled “Year-in-Review Reflection.

Of course, you are! DeRosa and our beauty editor, Nicole Saunders, share the best blackhead-removal tools they enjoy using. She adds you'll want to always prep your skin with the compact Panasonic facial steamer to open up the pores and help prevent discomfort when removing blackheads. This is because if you apply too much pressure, you can damage the skin,” says DeRosa. “At-home removal tools are effective, but using them incorrectly might do more harm than good. Ultimately, it doesn't really matter which blackhead-removal tool you use, but rather that you're using one safely and correctly following the manufacturer's instructions. DeRosa prefers using manual tools because suction may be difficult to control, and effective use of a vacuum will rely on the tightness of its contact with the skin. ➥ Automatic blackhead-removal tool s, such as the Cleaso Blackhead-Remover Pore Vacuum, rely on suction. Given their simplistic design and the fact that you must manually apply pressure to unleash any dirt and grime in your pores, these blackhead-removal tools are cheaper than automatic options. ➥ Manual blackhead tools come in different shapes and forms, such as the JPNK Blackhead Remover Tool Kit. My preference is a stainless steel-made tool since these can be soaked in rubbing alcohol between uses without damaging the tool itself,” she says. “At-home blackhead-removal tools should be straightforward enough to be used without expert technique, shouldn’t be too expensive, and be easy to clean. How to ShopĭeRosa says the three most important factors are ease of use, cleaning ability, and price point.
