I've been driving most of my life, and I've only been riding for a few years. I am generally more comfortable in traffic if I am on my bike than if I am driving. Perhaps it is just the fun factor.

Good idea. I got burnt once going to an out-of-town demo day. By the time I go there, they were already booked up solid for the day

Learn to embrace the fear. It makes the ride so much more exciting. It also helps you to stay alert.

I guess that means that if I buy a new non-current Vulcan, it should hold its value nicely for a few years. If it helps, I have heard that Star 1100s will run forever with ordinary care. There are a handful of 2005-2007 models on Kijiji today for $4000.

it is already gone!

They had Gard Hollinger, too. The first half of the spot is the interview, then they take it for a ride. It looks like a nice bike, but way outside my budget. https://youtu.be/WJsjZhTJWjM

When I clicked the link, it was for sale by sealed-bid auction with no reserve bid mentioned. I didn't see anything about a $3,000 pricetag. Neglected for 8 years, with no ownership, I'd agree that it shouldn't be worth much

Somehow, I survived. Guess I really dodged a bullet

I don't think I've ever seen a motorbike with Handicap plates. Are they hard to get?

Here is a thread about WR250R vs DRZ400. If you think you'd like a dual sport, you might find it interesting: http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?200759-DRZ400-vs-Wr250R For myself, I'm considering trying a Honda CB500X, Kawasaki KLE650 or Suzuki DL650as my next bike. They...

Oh, sugar! :-( I rode to work today without checking my pressure. I didn't oil my chain, either

I'm still riding a Vulcan 500. Chain drive, no tachometer, and the seat starts to feel hard after a few miles. Other than that, it's a nice little bike, easy on gas, good around town and still strong enough for the freeway. Ninja engine, water-cooled, 6 gears, reasonably quick. The last...

I suppose the execs at Polaris didn't like the idea of having two different product lines competing for the same niche in the market. I prefer the looks of the Victory line. Most of the big Indian bikes are too retro for my taste. I'm going to hope that Indian will merge a few of Victory's...

I didn't notice the skateboard wheels the first time I went through the page. Poor man's frame sliders, I guess

The price was $6000. I don't understand the question about the nine

https://chancemoto.com/2016/04/05/2010-yamaha-wr250x-build/ Here's a story about tearing down a WR250X and adding a few features. I enjoyed going through it. The link was on a kijiji ad yesterday. The ad is gone already

You have a couple of V-twin cruisers on that list. I have always taken it for granted that insurance rates go up at 1000cc, though I might be mistaken about that. Kawasaki Vulcan 900, Suzuki Boulevard C50 or M50, and Yamaha Star 950 tourer are all comparable V-twins just under 1000cc. A close...
