Have a family member at State Farm. I was told the cc thing is changing. Model of bike will be more relevant soon.

That sent a shiver up my spine. Women scare me. :lmao:

Sorry, I misunderstood "your mirrors" BUT if you can't get through without folding your mirrors, guess what, still TOO CLOSE.

No offense, but if I have to fold my mirrors for someone to get by, they are way too close already. Patience. :)

You can ask a million dollars if you want, but like I said the problem seems to be that people are using what you and others are "asking". I'm not mad at anybody, it's just very disheartening when you look at page after page of bikes that are IMO overpriced. Most are not selling. I just don't...

When I'm in my pickup and a bike squeezes up beside me it makes me very nervous sometimes. Try to remember that when I look in the mirror and see some guy on a bike 1/2 an inch away from my paintjob, I have no idea if you are a veteran expert rider or some kid with an M1 and 8hrs experience. The...

Lets not forget the finance rates as well. If the dealer has lets say 1.9% finance (no fees etc) and the banks going to soak you for 6 or 8% (?) on a private sale loan, you're automatically in the hole at the end of your loans term. It's all in the math. Plus if a new one breaks, it's got a...

At least you're honest. :)

Keep an eye on the princess auto stuff. It seems to be getting worse in quality lately, not that it was ever high end. Lighter gauge steels, cheaper casters, nastier welds etc etc My 2 cents

Really?

Haven't sold a bike for many years, but when I did there was no kijiji or internet. If the bike was good and priced well, A friend or a friend of a friend usually bought it. We were less likely to try to get top dollar, and it was usually cheaper because nobody wanted to take any chances when...

Pm me Griffin, My pm isn't working for some reason. I want to hear about your old bike.

That's funny...... because it's true! As soon as somebody tells me it has a few small scratches I start to wonder. The scratches usually start at the mirrors and end on the muffler.

Been looking for a good bike for a while and felt like venting. Prices for used bikes is unbelievable, but not in a good way. Every day I see hundreds of bikes hit the used market. I see things like "don't try to lowball me" , "not going to give it away" and even more severe like " I'll smash it...

I'm glad you asked this question. I was wondering the same thing. All I know is the bikes I've looked at are seldom as good as described and my truck costs me a minimum of $20 an hour for fuel. Just something to think about before you go 1000 km to look at a bike. Kijiji is disappointing. It...
