    2021+ Tuono worth the headache?

    Yep. I read the entire Aprilia thread with Gabro chiming in on the overheating issues. I think he put out some maps that set the fan to turn on earlier, but riders still reported their bikes overheating. Perhaps if I stop watching YouTube clips of tuonos with that glorious engine roar I'll be...

    2021+ Tuono worth the headache?

    I think I'm perhaps attracted to the Tuono because of the price. There are 2021 models for $16,000 with less than 3,000km on them. I did consider the SDR but can't get over the looks (no disrespect to your bike). I completely agree with i4 bikes being bland. After owning several of them I moved...

    2021+ Tuono worth the headache?

    I've watched probably every YouTube clip of the Tuono V4 and read countless threads on forums. I'm at the point now where I've set up alerts for deals posted on Kijiji (and FB). I'm wondering though...am I going to have regrets in regards to quality and reliability? There are so many posts...

    Looking for a new naked - BMW reliability?

    The seller postponed the viewing yesterday. He said there was another buyer who saw it previously and wanted to check it out once more.

    Looking for a new naked - BMW reliability?

    Thanks for the advice. I'm going to see if the seller will allow me to test ride the bike. Of course I'll offer cash in hand, as I did when I bought the Street Triple. I know many sellers are against test rides, so we'll see how it goes. That's right. I wanted to stick with Triumph given the...

    Looking for a new naked - BMW reliability?

    Thank you all - I appreciate the feedback. @bigpoppa "short on character" - I haven't ridden one myself, but did come across a few reviews that mentioned this as well. I assume it's like comparing my old cbr or zx6r to the street triple. I found the triple way more fun to ride than the other...

    Looking for a new naked - BMW reliability?

    After 6 years and 35k trouble free kilometers I parted with my Street Triple. It was an awesome bike, especially after a slight gearing change. I initially sold it because I was interested in getting into a 2024 Street Triple or perhaps the 2023 Speed 1200rs. After looking at the numbers I...

    That was fast. Thank you, wizards.

    Replacement car bumper (someone posted a link)

    A while back someone posted a link to an online retailer that sells replacement bumpers. Anyone got suggestions? This is for a 2017 white bmw X1

    New truck - Engine / Transmission issues. Going to argue for dealer to give me a new a truck - frustrated.

    This reminds me of the nightmare I had to go through with a new Saab I got in 2008 from a GM dealership. The car started developing transmission issues at under 1,000km. It was a year long process, but I went through CAMVAP and GM was forced to buy the lemon back from me and pay me for time...

    Private property - un-insured drive accident

    We did feel bad about taking a livable space away from locals, but then....look at what we're going through with locals. We're actually considering not even renting the basement anymore and just using it as storage. It's almost not worth the headache (and actually a loss at this point).

    Private property - un-insured drive accident

    We lived in the house for 6 years and AirBnBd the basement apartment to over 250 guests, and only ever had 2 issues: escort booked the place, and after the 2nd unregistered guest/visitor we had airbnb kick her out a guest booked the apartment for 2, but had 4 people stay. We notified them and...

    Private property - un-insured drive accident

    Thanks for the feedback. The presentation deck from the property lawyers mentions the offer needs to be enticing ($5k to $70k). We're thinking $5k total, including last months rent, moving fees etc since it's a lower unit apartment. If she asks for more and more, we'd have no choice but to...

    Private property - un-insured drive accident

    Update: Upstairs tenant reported her to police and his own insurance. They are investigating. Unfortunately her lifestyle and behaviour is not suitable for living in a duplex. She needs her own, private space. We called her and offered her an option for cash for keys, which includes...

    Private property - un-insured drive accident

    That's actually really good point and something we never thought of. We hired RE agents for both upper and lower level tenants, and will suggest they add this into their forms so our butts are covered. Unfortunately the offender is not being nice about the situation and victim got upset...
