    Oxford cruiser heated grips

    Bought last year for my cruiser, won't fit on my current bike. Haven't been used, only tested to make sure they work. Everything in the box. Trade for smaller heated grips / OBO.

    Vancouver to Toronto

    In few days, I'm hoping to start the trek back home from Vancouver via States. Any routes or areas that are particularly nice? I'm planning to make Portland my starting point.

    Broken zipper slider - replacement

    Shoe repair places! I had zipper slider replaced and realigned on the bike jacket for 10 bucks. I'm sure some of them may also sell the sliders.

    Any 500cc touring friendly bikes?

    Looks like I may need to stick to a 500 after all. Called TD and the rate online wasn't the same as the agent gave me. If anyone else uses online TD quote; their year starts at march (march to march), so they won't charge you full year if you start now, and thats the quote you get. The 650's are...

    Any 500cc touring friendly bikes?

    For me it's just insurance. And the initial price is sometimes lower too cause they're mostly old bikes. I'm sure the 650's are better for touring.

    Any 500cc touring friendly bikes?

    Hiya! I have barely gone to any rides or meets due to my work schedules and engine displacement size. But now that I lost many hours and lost one job, I have more time to ride. But have to stick to a budget. Really like the idea of a vstorm, td insurance quoted me $1500/year on a 650. Haven't...

    Any 500cc touring friendly bikes?

    What about luggage and hard cases? It seems only the 90's ninjas are cheaper in price. On 2004+ models add extra $1300 and you get a 600cc with no carbs. I'd rather get a fuel injected bike, but are the 2000's models similar to the newer ones? I'd be willing to overlook the carbs if the price...

    Any 500cc touring friendly bikes?

    Well now, that makes sense! I'm not sure the v30 would even work for me anymore. I haven't noticed the foot peg is close to underneath the seat. The seating is already low to begin with.

    Any 500cc touring friendly bikes?

    Thanks guys for the input! I'm going to visit some dealerships soon, and try to decide on the newer 600/650 vs old 500 bike. Going from the low cruiser seat, to KLR might feel weird, but I'm 5 9' so it's probably just an adjustment. I won't be able to insure any bike older than '85, so I'm...

    Any 500cc touring friendly bikes?

    Nothing wrong with promoting what you ride, esp when you've toured for at least a week on the bike. That's the kind of comfort I'm looking for too. And it's very good that hard luggage is avaliable; can't really do it with any of the 500's. Got Large tank, fairly new, no carbs, and only $200...

    Any 500cc touring friendly bikes?

    I do really like the new honda and sat on the other two models, but the seat is very uncomfortable (vs my cruiser). Being how it's a new bike, needing new seat and luggage, it would get too expensive for a bike I'm not planning on keeping for too long. I'd want to keep the price range to $4000ish.

    Any 500cc touring friendly bikes?

    Something like this may work; http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-motorcycles-street-cruisers-choppers-1985-Honda-V30-Magna-W0QQAdIdZ475622983 km's seem really low on it though. Since 1985 is the last year for TD to insure, does that mean I can insure it this year and be covered as long...

    Any 500cc touring friendly bikes?

    I'm searching for a 500cc touring friendly bike. So far I only got the 535 Virago, 500 Vulcan, and very old Silverwing. Any recommendation for other bikes?? Hoepfully less than 20 years old, and don't have to be a cruiser. I'm trying to stick within the 500-600 range for insurance purposes...

    Monday 8th, noon, from Mississauga/Oakville

    Don't worry, I'm not coming to slow you down if I'm the only slow one. A bigger bike isn't on my priority list right now. I'm still undecided what I want next too. It's just I hardly go out riding locally anymore, you know with an embarrassing bike and all... :D
