I've had snake. It's not bad, but will definitely be a challenge for the western palette. Nothing at all wrong with it as a source of nutrition.

The third show was always there. It has not been worth attending for many many years now. It's essentially a flea market with a vague motorcycle theme. Funny that the show is cancelled but their marketing company is still sending emails advertising it. Got one today.

Number of clients would never outweigh the cost of insuring liability. As long as a DIYer can legally hold responsible anyone other than themselves makes this venture a great while it lasted.

Clickbait topics are only recommended to those whom the algorithm have identified as likely to click. I'm sure there's something in timtune's non-identifying advertising profile that says 'boomer', 'get off my lawn' and maybe a little bit about motorcycles. Its amazing what you see if you...

Thread topic needs to be renamed to "Opinions Google thinks I want to see"

Is GP Bikes there this year? I saw Royal was going this year. Also,

Because its manufacturer rebate that customers need to submit themselves instead of instant rebates which retailers are allowed to advertise as a sale. Because the rebate is processed by the manufacturer, I wouldn't want to be a business owner who gets sucked into the process when one gets...

Whats your plans for it? I'm humming and hawing about it too but they aren't offering any sessions at Mid Ohio this year. They are doing it at Pittsburg International, in Wampum, PA which is 5h from Toronto but I know nothing about that track.

If current economic trends continue, I imagine the used bike market is going to continue to be atypical for a while. I doubt any historic trends is going to apply except maybe 2007-2009.

Wheel Chocks: I went with Pitbull Trailer Restraints. Super easy to handle by yourself, and it is 'removable' in case you need your bed to be absolutely flat. You can arrange it so the harness goes forward from your rear tire, the mount sitting underneath the pivot and the mounting point would...

The electronics suck on the 690. My kingdom for a gas gauge or an auto resetting trip meter (yes yes, back in your day....). Turning off the TC and ABS every time you start it is such a process. You get blown around like a sail on the highway. The pegs are too low and the seat is too high to...

I don't have dyno charts for mine, but I have a '23 690 SMCR with Rottweiler intake, Tekmo Full Ti exhaust with power bomb, Powercommander with Rottweiler's Fuel and Ignition advance map. Rottweiler claims its 75hp at the wheel, +10hp over stock. I only bolted the mods a few hundred km after...

Even if you remove the legal aspects of it, just thinking of the headache if something were to happen. For example: Bike falls off the kickstand cause tire goes flat over winter. Knocks over one of your other customer's shiny red Italian bike and creates lots of smaller shiny red bits. Who...

The left hand turn before has a section of pavement on the right tire track that has caved in causing a change in camber on entry. You have to either stay close to the yellow line, compromising entry, or be light in your seat and trust your suspension. I'm looking forward to the repaving next...

Didn't want someone to target fixate themselves into my bike or if they needed to use the pull off. We were up ontop of the hill where someone built a bench in memorial to someone out of sight.
