I do ALL my own work if needed, but I have never had an issue with BMW, and I still own my 1990 R100 GS that I bought new in 1991. OK, so the mileage is low on the airhead GS but then my R1150 GS Adventure had higher mileage and when I think about how many times I shifted the transmission in...

It is simple with: gravity feed fuel and no need for a fuel pump. carburetted. light enough. good fuel range of 500+ kms if you take it easy. cheap to buy. nothing special but it does the job.

When you lay down a long faint black line with the front wheel without locking, you are braking hard.

Both the older ST and the one above, both bulletproof. Unfortunately, my 2016 BMW R1200 GS Adventure came with ABS, no choice in the matter. It just makes it more difficult to bleed the brakes if you want to do it right. And I maintain stuff to the upteenth degree. My diagnostic tool needed to...

Exactly why I do not want high tech for gimmicks that really are unimportant. My 2016 GSA uses a key, in fact all my motorcycles use a key. And my 2003 and 2004 GSA didn't have ABS by choice. I do not need the stuff. Even if they threw it in for free, no thanks!

The old ones are the best of my GS series as far as beng able to get them going anywhere should an issue arise. You bought your R1200 GS when they first came out. I had a 2003 and 2004 R1150 GS Adventure, both at the same time. One here and one in the Alps. The 2004 got written off when a cell...

Had that issue with the CRA over the few days I called them. Push this button, push that button and after all that "Call us again later". I gave up and the info I was looking for is not in my CRA account. That is what happens when you have Public Servants working from home doing the laundry...

That is because you watch CBC. CBC and facts cannot be used in the same sentence. LOL Oh and talking about CBC and facts, watching CBC Marketplace is a hoot. You know if you are going to do an investigative report, learn something first. Much like armchair experts that occupy space.

If you are that lucky, I'd also buy some 6/49 tickets that day.

Of the 17 motorcycles I have owned to far, 11 were bought new and 6 used. I like to buy new because I know they have not been abused. I also look after them and keep them. I still own 4 of them and my oldest that I bought new is now 35 years old. The motorcycle that I sold in 2023 was bought new...

Not when Covid-19 hit full force. Anyway, what did Trump have to do with something generated in China. Look at how much money Trudeau made due to Covid and the fake hysteria generated by it. Oh, did we forget that? I was looking at stats (annual flu and pneumonia deaths in Canada vs Covid...

Taking about stock markets, I have a couple of friends that are whining about the stock markets they are in and the money they lost. Well you only lose money if you sell...duhhhh. Of corse they are blaming it all on Trump. Now I am not in stocks and therefore do not follow them hourly, but I am...

You got to be an effing Liberal.

Yes but she ran out of fuel. Radio navigation was not the best back then and from what I have seen in documentaries, there were some issues at her destination with the military running things.

Edited to add: Not when it is part of the job. So why should they get paid like any other fire-fighter. Please stop with the devil's advocate thing.

No, I never said that. The issue is due to pressure forced upon us by idiots in government or in society, some people get hired into a position for the wrong reasons. Yup we had one of those in the workplace. It was called "women in non-traditional trades". Working next to her, I know she would...

Absolutely yes. Unfortunately there are too many hirings based on DEI. Why is why our own PM had to have X amount of this and that. Pure BS and glad Trump did something about DEI and trans gender men in women sports. And in law enforcement or in fire fighting, in the latter for example, if you...

I agree with the first part. As for extremely difficult flying conditions, I guess everybody that landed there in the last hour all crashed. It is far more difficult to land in gusty conditions in an aircaft that have very low wing loading like a general aviation aircraft (Cessna, etc) as...

Well I do not see a link to it. How much $$$ and to someone it is worth that. If it doesn't sell it is either too high or someone looking for one doesn't know about it.

Anything is worth whatever it is to the person who wants it. I remember buying my 1986 Suzuki RG 500 Gamma. I believe MSRP was $6100, but dealers were selling it for $4800 which is what I paid for it plus tax. I would gladly pay $6100 or even $10,000 now for a 1986 that was well stored with no...
