    Blackbridge Harley

    I`ve been looking at a new Low Rider ST for a couple years. The money is there, I`m extremely fortunate, but I just can`t pull the trigger. Thirty grand plus every dealership dep`t wants to take a swing at you before you leave. If you want to finance, H-D Financial is 10 to 11% plus, Insurance...

    There seems to be a lot of public support for the shooter. I hope some big bucks lawyer defends him pro bono.

    Local Auto Thefts

    What`s it going to take to change things in this clown world Canada? Some crew of criminal vermin to do a Manson crew/Tate, et al thing on a politicians family? Were those guys after the Lambo staging for a full on home invasion, would you roll the dice saying no? Holy Funk!..wake up Canada...

    Local Auto Thefts

    Sadly true. We have a useless system of clueless judges, boneheaded laws, possibility of minutes on hold 911 calls and an overworked, stressed Police force. Four dirtbags lying dead on the drive, full of bullets would be the proper end to that event. Just a failed B&E should be game on. Once...

    Aching Shoulders

    Just another thought...In the June issue of Motorcycle Mojo there is a 4 page article titled Highway Healing. All about max comfort on the bike, it may be helpful.

    How`s that go?..... Oh yeah! The best government is a benevolent dictatorship tempered by an occasional assassination. You know, to keep them in line.

    Reverse mortgage...redux

    I`d see that move as political suicide, not that a technocratic dictator cares though. He is a sneaky, lying bastard, let`s hope not.

    Aching Shoulders

    Be careful with Celebrex. That was the last of a series of NSAID`s I took daily for over a decade, I had a very physical job and couldn`t function without it. I began with Vioxx then Bextra, then Celebrex. I`m certain they are responsible for my endless stomach issues. The first two were pulled...

    Aching Shoulders

    Just a thought....how, possibly unknown, tensed up are you on the bike? Shoulders relaxed and down, not up toward your helmet. Keep your jaw and face relaxed too? If that`s on your `Strom that dirt bike rider triangle is about as good as it gets.

    Reverse mortgage...redux

    I`ll need to speak with my planner to clear or confirm some HELOC questions. Is it correct that if I took a HELOC for 100 grand and spent it all over 10 years, making interest payments only during that timeframe, the principal could be paid back in entirety when I sell the home, or my...

    Reverse mortgage...redux

    The CHIP rate is 7.29%, the HELOC is 5.49%. That`s a substantial difference, about 83 grand on a loan of 176K over 10 years. That is 20 grand upfront and a monthly payment of 1300 bucks for 10 years. The CHIP thing is no monthly repayments, P&I, until you move or die. If I`m dead, so what, my...

    Reverse mortgage...redux

    That angle is one way of looking at it. I`ve been mortgage free for years though. The house is now at about 725K, it has appreciated at 6.4% annually since `98. The CHIP calculator suggests using a 3% appreciation annually, after repayment of P&I there would still be around 650K-ish home value...

    Hey at least they have Pattie Lovett-Reid in rotation now, far easier on the eyes. I`d hope with her background she has some integrity despite being paid. :unsure:

    Reverse mortgage...redux

    A shame to destroy that old Harley, even worse to traumatize the trucker. Back to the real world,....long ago when I lived in Markham there was a bike crash at Markham Rd. and 14th, might have been McCowan or Kennedy though, long ago remember. A rider on a RZ500!! torpedoed the huge concrete...

    Reverse mortgage...redux

    I think it`s been discussed before,.. anyways. I`m getting old, like many members here are, approaching geezer status. Off to see my financial planner next week to go over everything related. I think it is possibly viable for my situation. I`m thinking of living large for my remaining term...

    Isle of Man TT starts today

    The last few years I`ve been watching the daily races on REV TV, great coverage. They also show MotoGP live and so far this year, WSBK on a one day delay. For sure worth the monthly cost.
