If you want to try a medium Spidi before you buy come on over.

PS: It's a 50. The speedometer on the 50s only went up to 80 because the bike only went up to about 65. The 150s would show I think up to 120 km/hr on the speedos, which lead some either greasy-or-idiot sellers to say their 150cc Vespe were capable of doing 120.... It happens a lot.

It says "super rare find" though. And yep. Sure is. Not every day you find a Vespa that looks abandoned in some woods lol.

Today I learned I am derivative. Tomorrow I hope to learn whatever the **** that means.

Hunting burgers are ya? lol Personally if I were doing a cross Canada tour starting from Toronto, I'd go to the east coast, or through the US if going west... I tour on a little 650GS, **** prairie winds lol

Yep. I think that's why the poor man's de-rusting of a motorcycle tank, if you don't want to spend money on the actual acid, is to just pour coke in there.

Oh man, sorry. Do you guys think I should change the thumbnail? I know nothing about electrolysis. Teach us all Nuggy!

From the research I did, yes it would work but you don't want to use vinegar... (Science words go here, yata yata yata), so I think with vinegar there is a chance it will "flash rust" again... BUT coke will actually magically turn the old rust into a protective barrier instead of just...

So... trying to spell this out slowly because concussed brain no fast think... You're saying the black ooze is from aluminum rubbing up on rust, not from the coke mixing with the rust, is that correct? If so, I might have to go back out and retry this on the next rusty bike in the garage...

1000%. Most of my favorite purchases have been 10 year old bikes with low mileage. My still MINT 2006 Vespa GTS 250ie had like 1k km when I bought it a few years ago for like $2,500 from the original owner. Got it home, figured out pretty quick why he never rode the thing: voltage regular was...

How easy and pricey to adapt it to motorcycle wheels?

Thanks for checking it out, and yeah, this was absurdly easy. I was surprised.

Some never ride. Some always ride but have nine ten motorcycles they split the miles between... Different strokes.

Took 20 years but I finally put aluminum foil and Coca-Cola on a motorcycle to the test. One part physics One part chemistry One part something flew into my garage and made me scream like a little *****.

Looks like they upgraded from pizza box seat to metal tractor seat. Actually... is that an upgrade?

Meanwhile hospitals are under funded. Oh Canada indeed...

Bike grime good. Intestinal tract grime bad.

Any thoughts on what to price a 2016 Kawasaki Ninja 300 with only 1,100 km? A couple scratches just on one side, very light. I put almost 100 of the 1,100 km on this bike to make sure it's all good. Everything feels great and I was impressed with the bike... The Ninja 300, even at 10 years...

Yep. Business as usual at Hypocrisy Inc. Makes sense. If I were delusional enough to think buying a new Harley was a good idea, $2,500 more or less on the price tag isn't getting me out of CAMH any faster.

Am I the only one who finds shampoo'ing my hair in the shower does a better job getting stuff out from around my finger nails than the orange grit stuff? When it's riding season and my body's healthy, my hair is like 80% hair, 20% motorcycle grease and chain lube.
