Sold it for parts for €2000 in Croatia. Just before we left Europe for Canada, I took it in for service. Final drive issue had reared its ugly ahead again - for the fourth time. Its costs me about $1000 in parts and labour to get it fixed each time, so I decided to try to sell the bike there...

My 2006 R1200GS. Rode it around the world. Bought it new with 0 km (well, something like 10 or so break-in kms) Sold it with this on the odometer: It was a good bike. I had lots of fun times with it. My new R1250GS currently has over 50,000 kms on it. Working on the getting another 200K...

Agree. Miller seemed to have gelled very quickly with the Yami in pre-season testing, but I'm afraid he's going to continue to be an early race-pace wonder like before - fading or crashing on later laps. Great guy off track, but no chill on track.

Passive-aggressive thread-necroing. Will wonders never cease?

I've been in sales pretty much my entire career. Never had a desk in an office. T2200 every year for decades. My last job was in a Canadian sales branch of a US-based company. Our "office" was just a place to invite clients if they wanted to come in instead of us going out to them. Every single...

Ah, GTAM during the wintertime!

I get that standardizing all the HW on the bike and charging to unlock only the SW features that the customer wants cuts manufacturing costs. However, in that case, these costs should be passed on to the consumer. All these companies are doing is pocketing the savings. Also, if I purposely opt...

What's the use case for a standing desk? Back problems? If so, try one of those kneeling chairs. Improves your posture, thus mitigating back problems, and takes some of the weight off your sitting bones. Plus you can use it with your existing desk and you can swap in and out of regular...

Great actor, amazing body of work. Loved his performance in a lesser talked about film: The Conversation. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071360/

Thanks for starting a WSBK thread, I was just about to do the same! Watched PI last weekend. Yes, there are many Ducs on the grid, but it's a damn good bike though. You've got guys like Redding whose results are basically 80% bike, 20% rider. Where was he the last couple of years on close to...

Agree with most of this, except for the 890. Maybe it's where I'm living right now, but that 890 ADVR seems to be the most popular bike KTM is selling. Everyone and their stepbrother has one and it's the Golden Child/Second Coming according to the motorcycle press, even despite the cam issues...

It's not the surge pricing that would be new - as lunch/dinner menus, happy hour, etc. all have pre-advertised prices and times. It's the ability to change the online menu without the customer realizing that would be new and unethical. "Um, I think you overcharged me. Your appies were listed at...

Haha, you're putting dangerous ideas in my head! But if I went "retro" peformance, it'd be slightly more recent. Dream bike right here. Well one of them at least... :ROFLMAO:

I like like the retro look but with better brakes. And suspension. And engine. Definitely a restomod/modern classic kinda guy. If I had room in the garage, this would be one of the bikes in it:

After the pandemic, a lot of places have been moving to online menus accessed on your smartphone by a QR code printed on a card on the table, in lieu of a menu handled by lots of germy, grubby hands. I always thought it would be a great way to implement surge pricing that way - bump the price of...

Just making a point that a packed airport doesn't mean all of them are flying to the US, as this statement seems to indicate: But then again, you know us fact-checkers... ;)

Everybody in the airport going to the US? Nowhere else? https://www.flightconnections.com/flights-from-toronto-yyz

If we're doing requests, I would like to add this one to the queue: "F-n ballers in this thread" kthxbye.

The stats are collected and are available for searching, but they are generally not focused on in the media as a matter of ethics. Statistics are important for understanding root causes and prevention. A common statistic that is now generally available today is that over 400 people have jumped...

I was told there were no price tags on gear at Rider's Choice? Same, same? But different...?
