I expect that's the case, though I have no first hand knowledge. While riding out I ventured to the opposite end of the property. There's a huge swath of disused parking, and what looks like temporary stables. And didn't they have flat track racing in that part of the property at one time?

Is it a dead end? ...sorry...I had to.

I have a hard time having a hard time with this. I can't count the number of times when I went through "blitzes" or spot checks in a commercial vehicle (cub van or stake/dump truck) where the detainment was well beyond a couple minutes. Never a charge or infraction though, thankfully. In my...

I'm not 100% certain, but I believe the mechanic has the option of leaving the safety in progress on the system allowing for the client to make repairs and continue. It seems like it depends on the shop or mechanic doing the inspection.

I get that HD has staked a great deal on their notion of "brand value", "exclusivity" and tribal belonging (in a marketing sense) within the greater context of the marketplace, meaning purchasing motivations beyond us as experienced MC owners/riders. Where I think they completely missed the...

I agree their new bikes are outrageously expensive, but I still see lots of HD's farting their way along Hwy. 2 in front of our farm here in Port Hope. They're pretty much all older ones though, primarily touring models, heritage soft tail and road kings. I've never seen a new sportster or a new...

How much closer to worthless can you get before you shut the lights off? Maybe they already repossessed the light bulbs.

I agree that a bike that will include a premium SHOULD be a plus. Being a serial kijiji and now marketplace watcher it doesn't look like stuff (that I'd be interested in at least) is moving very well. Lots of price dropping, though still many seem overpriced to start with.

I'll leave relatively early on Saturday and take 401/QEW. I find there are more good roads/interesting places well south of the 401. It's not a horrible day trip, just not the nice, relaxed day trip it once was. At least it's strawberry season so I can enjoy a couple of quarts on the way. The...

I'm coming from Port Hope. The worst part for me is everything from Oshawa out past Mississauga. It used to be that I could take the highway out to Guelph Line and go up to Hwy 5 then west. It WAS quiet and relatively rural pretty much the whole way with Waterdown being a little busier. It...

Yeah, I can see that point, but I'm pretty comfortable in that I believe I know the general condition of my bikes vis-a-vis a safety. I'm not one for aftermarket exhausts or flush mount signals etc. so not a concern. I AM CONCERNED about getting a safety for my Norton Commando. Drum rear brakes...

Or you could just say the price includes a safety, then when the deal is done and you're paid you take the bike in.

I'd say you should go. It's much more than old British bikes now and there's a fair bit of Japanese vintage. It's a pretty town and a nice ride. In my opinion it's a great day out on the bike.

Me too. I wouldn't cross the road to be part of a geriatric pirate party fawning over overdone choppers and other MoCo flotsam. The CVMG Paris rally happens Saturday and Sunday. Way more interesting motorcycles, and motorcycle culture. Plus some good country roads to explore.

I'm not certain that this is overpriced if viewed as a collection of miscellaneous parts. I am 100% CERTAIN that this thing is a hideous, poorly thought out, perhaps dangerous stupid idea. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-view-details.html?adId=1718684906
