    HD Street 750

    I have to admit this is just a bias of mine, not a fact. HDs seem like high-maintenance machines, so every time I think about buying a used HD, I imagine all the half-arsed backyard mechanics who have tried to save a few bucks by doing their own service, but screwed up the bike as a result...

    HD Street 750

    No, this bike was the only one I tried. Once I told the boss that I only had two years experience on a 500, he wasn't inclined to put me on anything bigger. I expect that the 750 is quicker than the 883, in any case.

    HD Street 750

    I tried a Suzuki C50 and VSTrom 650 last year and liked them both. I guess I'm easy to please, though I have never been very interested in a Honda Shadow or Star 650 I'd like to try out both a Vulcan S and a Vulcan 900. I'm beginning to enjoy demo days, but I still don't have the gall to...

    HD Street 750

    Lemmy had the same comment about the brakes. He seemed to think that upgrading the pads and brake lines would solve the problem; I doubt that he actually tested out the idea on his demo bike, though

    HD Street 750

    I took out a Street 750 at Davies HD demo day on the weekend. Rated at about 55 HP with about 44 ft-lbs of torque, about 475 lbs wet, about 45 mpg, $10,000. A bit smaller and a bit stronger than my 500 Vulcan, it felt a bit more cramped than my bike. Smooth and quiet, nice acceleration...

    Little old man with road rage, tailgating me, honking like a lonely goose

    That inspired me to look up Zen and the Art of Road Rage. Plenty of hits. http://www.honku.org/faves.shtml https://www.timeshighereducation.com/books/zen-and-the-art-of-road-rage/156133.article I must learn to react with tranquility to grown men's tantrums...either that or just laugh it...

    Little old man with road rage, tailgating me, honking like a lonely goose

    Immature of me, but I probably did more to aggravate the situation than to defuse it. I did not speed up or try to get out of his way. It was a 4-lane city street without much traffic, and I was in the slow lane. He seemed awfully angry and hostile. Definite over-reaction on his part. I have...

    Riding Gear!!!!

    The last time I was checking prices, Doc's Leathers had one of the best prices for kevlar jeans. My only problem was with the selection of sizes on offer.

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    The ad is gone already, do you suppose he sold it already? I saw it and didn't much like it. I have seen a few pics online of nice custom DRZs, but they had a whole different look.

    Good Wheel Motors, Toronto...Anyone heard of them?

    Last season as well, they were only open by appointment. Judging by their occasional ad and by their website, they are still carrying the same inventory as in 2014 at the same prices. At this point, I suppose he would need to be flexible on price. With such slow turnover, I have wondered how...

    Kijiji prices for sportbikes?

    Toronto Kijiji is usually the most expensive. If you look at Hamilton, Oshawa, Barrie and London, you will generally find much better value. This part of the season is more of a seller's market, you'll find the biggest bargains at the end of the season

    Starter Cruiser Bike?

    I have a Vulcan 500. It is my first bike and I am fairly satisfied with it. Even though it does everything I need it to do, I will probably want to upgrade to something newer and flashier at some point. I get the sense that in the smaller cruisers, a parallel twin is more fun than a V-twin...

    Android Boxs - whose got 1?
