I rode yesterday and will probably ride today. What withdrawal?

The other day I was talking with my brother-in-law about motorcycles. He was a racer in his younger days and did the circuit (semi-pro I believe). We were discussing my new Versys and what a difference it is from my Tiger 955i, different in a very positive way for me, though less HP and cc's...

Still trying to figure out my plans. I get 8 weeks off a year which lends itself to plenty of travelling. My first thought was Alaska, but now I may be involved in a church exchange with a minister in New Zealand. If that happens I will tack on time to that exchange and rent a bike and tour...

My confusion comes from the fact the ebay link is to a 1080p camera for the price of a 720p. Bad listing?

As compared to what? A contour? It doesn't look like the $70 camera found in the other links.

I did the same thing but played Amazing Grace over and over. Hey trying to know some Jesus into them. :D

Love it. Way more control than my Tiger and way more soul than my V-strom. 1,000 km's in 3 weeks (and I was gone for 1), liking it more each kilometre driven. This bike may be a keeper :)

Thursday evening I got called to the hospital, arrive the same time as the ER doc. Doesn't say anything until we are in the same room. He sees my helmet and jacket and asks me if I am the guy who just rode in on the motorcycle. I reply in the affirmative. After a bunch of questions on how do...

That's bizarre. Clean record here and I pay ~$600 for complete coverage on a brand new Versys 650.

First off he will not pay sales tax in the U.S. He will either get a temp tag or trailer it back. I have purchased bikes in different states when I was a non-resident and they don't charge the tax. Yes he will pay the 13% at the border, but that is no different than if he bought the bike...

Well since I am here, I will report on the conditions in the vernacular of the locals.

Actually there was a dusting of snow on the cars this a.m. but it has melted now that the sun has come out. I remember being here for Christmas in 2009 and they received over 1' of snow in the Metroplex.

I am in Dallas today, the high is around 40F, tonight's low is 25F. If you are seeking warmth, this is not the place to be.

Check the state you purchased the items in as many of them allow you to submit receipts and receive your sales tax back. There is a minimum spend in many cases, but worth a shot.

You don't pay taxes on private purchases within Canada as the taxes were collected when the item was first sold. Purchases out of the country were never assessed any taxes, hence the collection of them when you import the item.

It isn't just new to me, it is new as in 0 km's on the odometer. A dealership in Montreal was blowing out stock, they had 3 of them (and yes they went quickly). I know comparing apples and oranges, but the comment was made you can't get a 650 for the price of a 500, I just demonstrated you...

Yes, you pay HST on all purchases unless they are part of your duty free limit.

I just bought a new Versys 650 for $5900, that is cheaper than Honda is asking for this 500. Just saying...

That is unethical.

So it seems like a Nexus is my best bet and at a reasonable price. My smartphone OS is symbian, despite what others say I still love the Nokia product. Not looking to tether it or anything fancy, just read and maybe surf. Is it better to purchase now or do prices typically drop in Jan/Feb, as...
