LOL..."lusting after someone's daughter", "unwanted pregnancy", "crashed..badly broke both legs", I don't think you're helping put his mind at ease.

The were busy. The salesman told me he had sold 3 new BMW's before I talked to him, and they sold 2 more while I was still there. I got a great trade in value on my KTM 1090R from them and bought a 2024 GasGas 700ES (otherwise known as a red KTM 690 Enduro) that was discounted by $4500 from...

I've heard that. Aren't they mostly electronic related? They've also got really, REALLY expensive.

I have a 2015 that's about to turn over 300,000K. It still looks nearly new and doesn't burn oil. I've maintained it based on the schedule in the manual, but I don't take it to the dealer. I'm not interested in selling or trading it because I still like it and it has exactly enough tech...

Humph. Looks like a 1986 Heritage Softtail to me.

I forgot that I had a heated jacket and gloves. And I didn't bump my head.

Not a bad idea really. Change it in the fall when it's not busy and you're not using up good riding weather.

The front half looks nice. I don't care for the jacked-up, spartan arse end. You couldn't even strap down a sandwich on that "passenger" seat, let alone seat an adult human behind.

It takes me a fairly short time to decide on which bikes or models I'm going to choose from, but then it takes weeks or months to get one because I'm buying used for the most part. The only time I made an impulse move was trading a 2006 KTM 950 ADV for a twin shock Harley Whatever-the-f-it-was...

I find it odd that these things are so unregulated. In a country where all levels of government apply regulations to so many things, many of which have such insignificant impact I can't believe that no level of government hasn't grabbed the reins. I thought the news of injured kids on scooters...

Had what appeared to be a husband and wife team go around me while I was trying to back into a parking space at the grocery store this evening. Both were on the 4 wheel style and moved at quite a clip. The wife went behind me and the husband in front. He was riding side saddle because he had a...

It's just another example of the kabuki theatre that governance has become. Creating the appearance of action without the messiness or effort of having to do anything. Sure, we're recycling all this crap, except the stuff we incinerate (per Mike) and the stuff we can't sell that goes into the...

Condition aside...It's a Suzuki DR600. If the "Full Floater" sticker on the swingarm wasn't enough of a giveaway, the SUZUKI on the side case should be. Either the seller can't read or he's just an idiot, and reading his description and looking at the cobbled together gas tank, I'm thinking...

"Turns heads everywhere", yes but not for the reason you think/hope.

"Give them another penny" That would give them 2, doubling their cash reserves!
