    Total bike write off

    YES. Payout always goes by market value plus taxes so you can actually afford to theoretically buy the same vehicle again. You can neogitate the market value if it's lower than what you can show using active ads, Black/Blue book values, or a recent appraisal. When my Odyssey was written off...

    Knowing Better

    I've never had 17" sport tires flat spot over the winter. I do store my Ducati on its rear stand for the winter, but that's actually to make space by storing the stand under the bike.

    Knowing Better

    Now if you have carbs, that's a diffrerent story, and why my Hawk is the only non-injected bike in my stable. I'd make one more exception for an oil-cooled GSX-R.

    Knowing Better

    Your idea of winterizing is basically the same as mine - do nothing out of the ordinary. The only difference I see is the use of fuel stabilizer, which in my experience with fuel injected motors (both cars and bikes) makes no difference for such short term storage. My M3 was last filled up in...

    Princess Auto blue wheel chock $44.44 in March 2 flyer

    Welcome back to 2021! Saw piles of these today during lunch in Mississauga. Have pics but too frustrated with how this site always complains they’re too large to edit it.

    Considering a second bike

    For ~1000cc and under $7500 that's not a Ducati, look into the KTM 990 LC8 bikes. That motor came in SuperDuke, Supermoto, and Supermoto Touring trims. My SMT is a great compromise between my sport and supermoto bikes, and is still comfortable enough to do multiple full-day trips - was at Deals...

    Modem issues.

    Did the overheating on your old modem coincide with a speed increase? Have you tried relocating it to somewhere with better airflow?

    Lightcycles!

    Lots of movies bombed at the theater, only to become classics. Kind of like the Hawk GT. https://www.cinelinx.com/movie-news/movie-stuff/ranked-top-10-beloved-movies-that-tanked-at-the-box-office/ Now I kind of want to watch Idiocracy, and rewatch Office Space...
