    USB on bike

    When I wired my GPS to my battery I put in a fuse and a relay. I think I paid about $15 for both from Canadian tire... worth it for the just-in-case factor.

    Muffler hole repair

    When my old beater car developed a hole in the muffler, I used some sheet metal, a bunch of muffler cement and larger-diameter hose clamps. It didn't look pretty, but it got me another year out of it when I didn't have the money to replace it. CT also sells muffler patch kits... might be worth...

    Helmets for Round Heads

    I also have a round head, and have been looking for a new helmet to replace my aging HJC CL-15. I've tried on pretty much every full face helmet that Royal and GP have in stock, and am going to pickup a CL-17 next time I get out there. I also tried on one from Gmax that fit pretty good. Even...

    trouble selling motorcycle. help?

    Patience is key. I had my bike listed since November, and while I didn't think it would move over the winter, it took until yesterday to sell. Definitely take new pictures with a nicer backdrop. I found relisting every few weeks with a few different pics helped to drive traffic. Make sure you...

    Thinking of buying a 2005 BMW K1200s......

    I found that out the hard way... the F800ST has the same ones. Oddly enough, one stayed drier than the other!

    My bike is up for sale. Just got these emails. Possible scam?

    I get the exact same one coming through auto trader, word for word. Actually, come to think of it, I've only ever gotten scams from my auto trader ad.

    I need some help with valuing a bike...

    Sorry for your loss. If you are looking to move the bike quickly and aren't concerned as much about price, have you considered selling it to a dealer? I've seen ads in the past for places like Robinson HD http://www.robinsonmotorcycle.com/ and Classy Chassis http://www.usedhd.ca/ looking for...

    How Old is Too Old for a Used Bike?

    BMW's don't necessarily have higher maintenance costs. If you go to the dealer for everything, then be prepared to pay, but if you do your own work and/or go to an independent mechanic it won't cost any more or less than a Japanese bike. That being said, go with the bike that fits you the...

    Who is successful selling their used bikes this spring?

    That's what frustrates me even more. All my paperwork is ready. All the spare parts are in a box ready to go. I have a bill of sale ready to go, and the battery is still on a maintainer. Tires are inflated and it's got a full tank of fresh gas. If someone shows up with cash in hand they can...
