    Time For a Change

    How`s your freehand painting skill? Get some gold paint and a fine brush and stylize "Sucks" below the Union Jack. Problem solved. :p

    Toronto And Canada Suck For Motorcycle Community

    High mileage?.. who`s the dealer? Sounds like the sales guy is "high".

    Sober October

    Not me, I`d be right back at it the next night. Oddly enough I`ve never touched a cigarette.

    Sober October

    While I`d enjoy a cold pint with any member here.....I`ve been sober for almost 20 years. For me,... just not a good idea. Anybody can quit... it`s stayin` quit that`s hard. From personal experience I`ll start another thread,.. "Who`s ridden a motorcycle while drunk"?

    Toronto And Canada Suck For Motorcycle Community

    Where`s the home country of your parents? Sounds like somewhere poor and year round warm. Like nobbie48 mentioned, motorcycling in Canada, is mostly an older guys with money hobby. Weather dictates a lot of it, this ain`t SoCal. And if you`re old enough we remember shops and dealers in the GTA...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    No doubt they`re a beautiful bike, are they reliable or "Italian reliable"? The only Guzzi I ever rode was the `76 850 Le Mans, one of the best looking machines ever. If they`d build a resto-mod replica of that I`d be at a dealer double speed.

    How`s your house pricing doing?..

    I did 18 years of 100 miles per day total commuting, working nights. Gas then was half the price or so and I used about 70/L per week in two Focus (Foci)? About an hour or so each way, living rural so traffic was never much of an issue, fog, freezing rain, snow and blowing snow were always a...

    How`s your house pricing doing?..

    A while back I read that Global News reported that Canadians had about 231 Billion outstanding HELOC debt at the end of `25, up from 219 the previous year. Wonder how many kids are planning on a big inheritance? BZZZZT ! ...wrong answer honey.

    George Chuvalo RIP

    On a related note, I met Shawn O` Sullivan in `86, about two years before he retired from Pro boxing. And now his daughter tells us that he`s in an assisted living facility in Toronto, he`s been dealing with boxing related dementia for some time. Sad but not surprising.

    Also to Frazier and Foreman, three guys who could turn the lights out with one punch.

    Replacing a 2008 ST1300

    Looking at the U.S. pricing for that CB1000F, I`d figure here it will be 17 G`s+/ OTD.

    2004 Yamaha fz6 - throttle issue

    Sounds like the throttle cable is pinched/kinked. Any chance whoever did your service got the cable out of place when they were lowering the tank back in place, I had an `04 same as yours. Put the bike on the center stand, start it and turn the bars lock to lock and see if the revs increase.

    Replacing a 2008 ST1300

    I`d take a serious look at the new Suzuki SV-7GX, got a great review from the recent Motorcycle Mojo press launch ride. For 10 Grand or so, looks like a winner. Comfy, light and powerful enough, running on a proven and good handling platform.

    Can a motorcycle insurance classification be changed/fixed?

    You go first.... :D When I renewed my DL in June I looked for the box to check that said "Honey Badger"...nope, I check "M" then.

    Anyone caught out in this storm?

    That`s the thing. Got millions of people living in giant concrete and asphalt canyons and valleys, get storms like yesterday and there`s gonna` be problems. Like you say, the cost is the bottom line.
