OTHER INTERESTING DIFFERENCES
  • The Canadian 'accent' can be heard most easily in the following words: out, about, house, and others with 'ou'. For example, canadian pronounciation of the word 'out' is like 'e' as in 'pet' followed by 'oot' as in 'boot', sounding like 'e'+'oot'. American pronounciation of 'out' is more like 'ow' as in 'cow', sounding like 'ow'+'t'. Other words often pronounced differenctly are 'pop', and 'roof'. Of course, the trademark 'eh' at the end of a statement is a dead giveaway.
  • Canadian spellings can also cause confusion: colour vs color, cheque vs check, centre vs center, etc.
  • Canada uses the metric system, although canadians quote their height and wieght in feet/inches and pounds. Industry, for the most part, still uses imperial units.
  • For measuring temperature, Canada uses celcius (rather than fahrenheit).
  • Although there are many differences in prices of things between US and Canada, two that stand out are the after-exchange lower prices of electronics in the US, and the far lower prices of CDs in Canada. Also, there is a pricing inversion for CDs such that in the US the older CDs are the cheapest, while in Canada it is the newest releases that are usually on sale.
  • The drinking age in Canada is 19 in most provinces, and 18 in Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec. Note that the provinces where it is 18 alternate as you go west to east. Coincidence?
  • Soda/pop is made with corn syrup in the US, and sugar in Canada---this changes the taste significantly.
  • It's been said that Canadians are simply disarmed Americans with health care.
  • Some of these 'Canadianisms' are of British origin, and can be found there as well.
  • Football rules: size of our footballs, football fields, and one less down
  • Canadian inventions: ski-doos, jet-skis, velcro, zippers, insulin, penicillin, zambonis, the telephone, short wave radios, robertson screws (squar

Mine is a Chopper DT 2004. Looking at the picture you have sent, in my bike there is no room for that horn because there is the oil tank and battery exactly where the horn is in the pic you sent.

Anything she wants I will do, my momma didn't raise no fool, I also added the driving LED lights right below each mirrors and I'll tell you one thing, it is nice to work on. Take the panels off add the screws and fasten the lights, plug them into the connectors that are already there, pull the control panel and pop the button out and put the new switch in and plug the connector in that was attached to the dummy plug and your done, period.
And yes the Dog is tied up to the wall, I'm gonna get a small swiffer to dust it off occasionally.:oldhardlaugh:
