Saturday April 18 about 5:20 saw you on the black 81 XS 650 turning left off Simcoe NB onto Bloor westbound following a silver metric dresser. Nice to see the old bikes out and about and it sounded fine. Still need to rebuild the carbs on mine.

I sometimes respond to the low ballers after the thing is sold by responding "sold today at full asking price"

I transported a V Strom on a dirt bike carrier from Brampton to Pickering with a 2000 2 door Blazer. I would not do it again, got home safe, but even on that size of a suv, it did not feel secure. Most of the hitch carriers are limited to no more than 400 lb for good reason. I will still use...

In Oshawa, Rogers has it at #245. It took about 2 days for me to find it, ultimately I asked wife to show me and suffered the slings and arrows ....

Phoenix is an air hub and lots of direct flights there. You can prob rent a bike there and you have access to all sorts of places, so long as you stay in the lower altitudes this time of year.

I brought a V Strom home with a hitch hauler on my Blazer and made it, but it is not something I would repeat. Under 500 lb., no problem.

Not much help for you in Oakville, but Milestone Motorsports in Whitby has my complete confidence for HD. He built my 113 c.i. motor and got all the parts to play nice together when others could not.

Thanks for explaining the second phase of the scam.

So school me. If the bike is in the driveway, you have gone to Service Ontario and the paperwork is good and then the money changes hands, where is the catch? It's not as if you are handing money before seeing it or checking out provenance. And I know this is a standard scam, but the artist...

Nice ride yesterday up to Lindsay and back, will keep it available for sudden urges on clear days. Last winter was the first in a long time when I was unable to ride at least once in every month of the year. However, did have to replace a really rusty brake banjo fitting this summer from...

Sounds like an estranged spouse selling it, or its from an estate and the executors know nothing about bikes

It has just been reposted for $14,000.00!

Urban myth or fact? Vehicles built before 1988 are exempt from safety certificate rules?

DL1000 is the swiss army knife of bikes - an extra 350cc over the wee strom with no real extra weight. If you come to a stop in the right wheel track, your foot touches the centre hump of the road, so that is handy.

RIP, Steve

Saw 2 bikes out yesterday, sorta the alpha / omega of the bike world, the first was a KLR at Brock and Bayly, all dirt and milk carton top box and the other on King at Stevenson stretched swing arm shiny Hayabusa

So sad, they waited and saved to ship their bikes for an "extended tour" and then get totaled and maimed, probably early in the ride. GWS riders Sobering news for us ants saving for when we can have some fun.

Put your brain in gear! Search Kijiji for the same model for average price, google "blue" book prices, figure out a price and advertise as set out above. Stop being a victim and get out victimizing!!

buy used as you will drop it once or twice or more.

I am 65, a high miler since I returned to the pastime in '03, and have forgotten why I opened this post
