    Got 2k in my pocket.. what now? Or should I wait..

    My original bike I had to bring from Guelph back to Toronto. It was my first time doing it and nothing went wrong. My rents have straps and everything for me to use so I should be okay. But ye it's probably by far my cheapest unless riding back actually worked out LOL

    Got 2k in my pocket.. what now? Or should I wait..

    Ultimately I would like to just use my rents Element and get a trailer attached to the hitch. My parents have a boat so they need one attached to their car. That would probably be the cheapest option because its only about $40 to rent on with unlimited KM as long as I pick up and drop off in the...

    I could always just tie down the back.. but then again I'd probably look like I was stealing the motorcycle LOL Edit: From what I am reading there is 5.5' from the back of the front seats to the tailgate Edit 2: The bike is 6.7' in length.. So the Element is def a no go in the back

    If it comes down to it I will just ride back. As long as the condition of the bike is good and I'm not buying something shady I wouldn't have an issue riding back. There's about 45 minutes from where I would pick up the bike where its all highway and wouldn't be extremely busy so I could get...

    Got 2k in my pocket.. what now? Or should I wait..

    So.. Talked to the mechanic.. got a quote on paper.. Mechanic said the bike is good. He looked it over, did some tests and did not see any issues with it, and that it was maintained well for the amount of km which he even thought wasn't that much. Cert did run out but they would do the cert...

    The drive isn't the issue. It's the availability of a vehicle for me. My parents have a great Honda Element with a hitch on it.. But they live in Hamilton and I am East York. They use it a lot over the weekend to as they have a boat and a cottage so I would need to take a day off work probably...

    Perfect, I will. I am going to talk to the mechanic who did the cert today. He also did work on it recently which the seller sent a picture of the bill of service. I can get a better understanding of it.

    From my understanding, the bike is already certified, I just have to take the proof from the seller that is was certified within the last maybe X amount of days (I'm unsure exactly) and use that to get the bike plated. I'm pretty positive I do not need to go have it certified myself whether the...

    So I am taking a serious hard look at that CBR600F4. From what I have heard from the seller and what he has sent me everything seems like this would be a good deal. But I always have this nagging feeling like it could be to good to be true. Like why has it been on kijiji for sale for so long? Is...

    A buddy of mine stored my old bike in his underground garage at his place. I would probably end up doing that to this one too. I had no issues starting my old bike up back in spring.. took about 10 kicks but I got her going.

    Not to bad I think. I think this bike as long as the insurance is decent would be a good bike for me. It does check off the things I am looking for. I personally would have rather the Fi version 2 years later but I'd rather ride right now then save another $500+ I figure I could get at least...

    Initially it was with TD... Spoke to someone at allstate that I was refered to and I'm just waiting for a written up quote.. something more official to see exactly the amount but he said it would be less before I purchase that bike or any other.

    Interesting mid way point stop -Toronto -Harrisburg PA

    I second this, I have a family cottage in the finger lakes region and it is just such a nice area to visit and spend some time in. Nice small towns dotted all over, lakes upon lakes upon lakes everywhere.. rolling hills and valleys.. It's really quite nice

    He's getting together a quote for me so I should have a written one shortly... I will say the one stipulation he had was that I would need to get another insurance with them too.. Thankfully I have been looking for renters insurance at the same time and he should be able to work that into...

    Lowering the front only would be just for the clip ons.. but I think I am looking past the FZ6 for something with that style of handlebars... I know I live in a vicious city I don't think it will make much of a difference for me plus I've wanted to ride a bike with that style.. at least the...
