    Buying tires from Bike Bandit in the States?

    BikeBandit used to ship FedEx Expidited. You were charged all taxes on checkout. FedEx does the brokerage of the package themselves, and will charge BikeBandit the taxes. The package arrives at your door usually the day after it ships from California. The cost initially was a flat rate of...

    NHL suspensions

    How did you get to "hate a lot of things" without reading or watching them? Are you saying you hate things based upon some Neanderthal way of thinking? Seems you hate things you know nothing about, and have no interest in actually taking in any information to make that decision. Pretty short...

    January over priced bike show bike purchase

    When did they add GST on private motor vehicle sales? The crap that mcguinty pulled with HST cannot change the GST rules. GST is federal. PST is provincial. All they did back then was say that anything that only had GST being charged would now have PST as well. Used vehicles sold privately...

    do people who ride litre bikes have a lot of self control?

    That was his point. Just because you don't see something, does not mean it is not there. As for having self control, I would say I have more common sense thatn self control. The problem with not seeing cops is that you also may not have seen something else. I find it odd that people will say...

    Air Canada fined for no French

    7-Up and Sprite are not english words, they are product names. If he got Sprite instead of 7-Up he needs to go to the bottler of the product he ordered and file a complaint that someone is infringing on the bottlers trademark. Ever notice when you order a coke in Pizza-Hut the server will say...

    Can I borrow gear?

    Problem with buying new now for a bike that does not exist yet is taking a real risk on having gear that is completely useless next season if she cannot afford insurance next year. No one knows that rates will be like a year from now, so buying new gear now is like buying futures in the...

    Toronto trying to save money ?

    When I say Toronto has lower taxes, I simply mean that they pay less out of their pocket at the end of the year for something called property taxes. Don't care how they figure it, does not matter. $2300 Scarborough tax dollars are still $1284 less than my $3584 Ajax tax dollars, and even more...

    Toronto trying to save money ?

    The difference can be a lot in some cases. I have a friend in Ajax that pays $3900 a year in taxes on a 1000 sqft single storey house on a lot that is 40 feet wide, 250 feet deep, and his inlaws in Scarborough pay $2300 a year in taxes on a 1400 sqft single storey house on a lot that is 50 feet...

    does break in period mean I cant go on highways??

    I would suggest you simply drive around town as much as you can stand for as long as you can stand in one sitting. If you do this for 2 or 3 days you will have enough mileage, with enough variation to break in the engine. You need to give the engine a good variation in speeds and loads. I do...

    January over priced bike show bike purchase

    You are free to negotiate the price of your purchase any time of the year. The price in Jan just starts at a higher point. Does not mean you won't get it for less. Since the OP is so fired up about this, it really sounds like he got burned in Jan and is now a bit upset.

    407 Transponder Questions

    You will get the same HTA 172 for the leg over the plate as well. Given that he has to make sure his leg is over the plate and I have to make sure I am over 160, seems a wash to me. Not sure how you would get your leg over the plate on my bike though, it is fair ways back and down low in the...

    accident on I90 in US with plate from another car

    You have 6 days to notify ministry of changes, right? And you have 14 days to tell insurance company, right? To me, that means I have 6 days to tell the ministry I have purchased a car and want the ownership moved into my name and I have 6 days to inform the ministry that I have taken...

    What tax is payable on a private trade?

    I imported a bike from Texas a few years ago, the bike was 22 years old. No appraisal needed because it was a motorcycle. And it was specifically due to it being a motorcycle. If it was a honda car, an appraisal was required. The woman at the license office even phone it in because she was...

    407 Transponder Questions

    The thread is less than 24 hours old. Did you figure that once you posted your idea that was the end of the discussion? Some of us are not flexible enough to do it your way. And the penalty for getting caught is the same for both methods.

    407 Transponder Questions

    It works. I used to have to go to meetings in Oakville three times a week. When you get on the 407 at Brock Road it is a dead straight entry with very good sight lines in all directions. On a litre sport bike (or even just a FZ1) you can go from 100 to 160 in a blink of an eye, and back down...

    Sport tourer for an old fart?

    You don't say if you are looking at new or used. Used I would look at a first gen FZ1 and get a sargent seat for it.

    HTA 172 / Racing - Stunting law

    Why can you not just follow the bad situation at a good distance? You would be hard pressed to prove you MUST go more than 50 over the limit at any time. Stopping on the side of road is the option the judge will suggest. As for having to go more than 50 over to pass even a transport is also...
