Last June, I signed-up on a whim for the Scotiabank Half-Marathon on Oct. 16th.

That’s a lie, I once ran to the pub at the end of my street to grab a table for the Leafs game.

When it comes to pro-sports updates, we trust nobody better than The Score‘s Will Farquharson (unrelated to our Editor in Chief, Emma Farquharson).  We’ve gabbed about TFC, the Blue Jays, and now, we’re tackling the Leafs head-on right before the season opener on Oct. 6th. Problem is, one Farq is an optimist and the other – a little pucked up.

S1000RR: The Elegant Beast.

Our review of the 2010 BMW S1000RR – it eats crotch rockets for brunch.

There’s a reason why I’m referring to the S1000RR as a beast. For one, you know Cycle World’s Best Superbike of 2010 and winner of the Supertest World Association Award has got to have some bite.
