    "Mind ya damn b'ness."

    As mentioned, thinking of offering it as a freebie to the neighbours/neighbour's kid. I never got a hand-me-down vehicle growing up, while my best friend got his mom and dad's BMW and Mercedes... so, I like the idea of being able to give a vehicle to a teenager, it kind of fulfills something I...

    "Mind ya damn b'ness."

    Because this isn't a place I want to give even a single penny too, let alone pay them for diagnosis. Mid 90s Honda Rebel. From the shop: The front forks are not providing proper damping, which affects both stability and safety at speed. Your tires are well past their safe lifespan and need...

    "Mind ya damn b'ness."

    Putting this one out to the GTAM committee to help me decide... I recently got a bike for dirt dirt dirt cheap. We made a deal sight unseen because the price was sweet **** all. The young woman sold it to me for so cheap because she was told by a local motorcycle shop that the bike had a hand...

    Dealer proximity and bike choice...thoughts or experiences.

    Sometimes it's not just about where they're at but who they are. I have Husqvarna, Moto Guzzi, and Aprilia (Studio Cycle), and Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda, and Triumph (Powersports TO) all within like 10-15 minutes of my house... More importantly is that I've also personally known the owners of...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    Pretty sure I did a nine part series involving a Moto Guzzi V7 that was a theft recovery bought from that exact dealership....... Yes, yes I did. Summary: It took a village to make it (mostly) okay again. Carlo at Moto Motori diagnosing something issues, throwing a spare part in there that...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Why? Wanna buy it? I doubt it's going to cost much to get it running to be honest. It's something in the fuel delivery. We've got spark and air. The motor looks good, has less than 10,000 km, and those big ol Guzzi tractor-like motors are as reliable as a mother in law's nagging. I'm not...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    It has some risers on there in the pic. This is a heavy 1100cc enduro. About 590 lbs wet. **** me. With my shoulder still a mess from last year's car accident, especially with any weight getting close to shoulder height or above, I could barely push this thing around. Removing the risers helped...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Thanks! It found me. The owner reached out asking if I might be interested in it. I was like "Oh cool!" .... and immediately started Googleing wtf a Moto Guzzi Quota is. A few people have told me that Quotas are ugly as sin but otherwise excellent motorcycles... I can't comment on excellence...

    Aluminum foil + Coca-Cola + Motorcycle = Yes???

    Too far outside of my wheelhouse, I'd be a fraud. Can barely spell electrolysis, plus with the concussion from last year's accident, learning anything new is still a tall task :\ I'm livin' la vida Homer Simpson these days.

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    My 2010 Vespa S150 never got over 100 km/hr. 11.4 hp on the carb'd ones and 11.7 hp on the injected ones (2010 was a transition year)... And yes... since the hp are barely out of single digits, we count the decimal points lol I really loved that bike though. It was slow without ever...

    Listed at $4K, a little more than the "reasonable" price but it includes safety and delivery for the asking price... and take it as-is where-is for best offer... so... if new riders want things taken care of for them, they've got the option. Here's the pic again: 1,100 km! wtf!
