Suicide is a complicated issue as it pertains to reporting and statistics. I used to volunteer at a suicide prevention hotline for many years and eventually sat on its Board of Directors. There are studies that show that suicidal ideation is spurred on by news reports, so there are ethical...

I think it's because long-term discounts become the new MSRP. It impacts the sale price of newer 2025 models coming through the doors. If you put a time-limit on the sale of NOS, it lights a fire under potential buyer's behinds. What some manufacturers have done is put a one month time-limit on...

The staff are in the middle of implementing this emoji first: We call this one: "I would like to speak to your moderator".

Agree, great looking bike! Have you sat on one at the dealer? How tall are you? Ergos look a bit tight for a taller rider. Seat cushioning notwithstanding, the compact rider triangle might affect long-distance comfort. Here's a 6'2 person with 33" inseam on the W800: Seems like it would...

This is 2 mins ago. I changed the destination from Toronto to Markham. Seems to be postal code-sensitive, or Toronto surcharge. Similar numbers for the Desmo too.

Betcha motorcycle parts are plentiful and cheap today... 🤪

This GTAM meet is shaping up to be quite the epic event! BYOI (Bring Your Own Insurance)

"Shoot assault rifles in the desert and flip your go-kart down a rocky hill! At the same time!!!" Smells like a money-making opportunity to me!

Are there logs, ruts and babyhead rocks on the go-kart course? Can you imagine? All-terrain go-karting - all the karts have full-on knobbies and raised suspension... Fork, that would be cool!

Cool cool. I got my beanie, black leather pirate vest and fingerless gloves packed up and Ready To Race! "Avast ye scurvy dog! Prepare to be passed on the inside!"

Tried the padded shorts, personally, my gitch gets too hot. AirHawk works best for me. You can stand up on the pegs and air the boys out.

Haha, it's like a marathon. People say the half-way point is really mile 20 of 26. For me, I was about 300 kms from Toronto, the sun had already set hours ago. Everything on the side of the highway in the dark looked like a deer. Is it possible to be hyper-focused yet super-tired at the same...

Except they're not hedge funds. Peter Lynch ran Fidelity's Magellan fund. Holdings here: FMAGX - Fidelity ® Magellan ® Fund | Fidelity Investments All long positions. Not a hedge fund. Warren Buffet operates Berkshire Hathaway stock. Holdings here: BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY INC Top 13F Holdings -...

I think so as well. Would be nice to see Pecco win it again, but MM is on another level. The way he was riding that GP23 last year... Interested to see how Martin does on the Ape, and how much of his performance last year was his talent or Ducati engineering? Kinda leaning towards the latter...

If you don't want race results spoiled, please wait until you catch up with the latest races before opening this thread! Let's discuss the 2025 season here. Who's your pick to win the championship? Will Ducati dominate again, despite opting to run the old 2024 engine for their factory team...

I never day-traded, but got heavy into momentum trading during the DotCom heyday. My buddies and I used to call it the Bank of Nasdaq: Put in a buy order between meetings, and you get a SMS alert when your trade executes. Hop back on during the next break, put your sell order in and in a few...

Haha, it's been so long I almost forgot you used to ride the Great Albino Hog!

They track the market so they slide backwards. But investment advisors aren't infallible. They will sometimes get you into investments that don't perform as well as the market, or even tank spectacularly. No one has a crystal ball. At least index funds won't charge you fees which rob you of...
