    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    20 year old U.S. import VFR750 for $5000. Good luck to him. I think your estimate is certainly a more reasonable starting point.

    Anyone have YTX14L battery for sale?

    Since you're no longer in a rush for a battery, might I recommend yuasabattery.ca / saskbattery.com. Sites look different, but they are one and the same company. I ordered from yuasabattery.ca and the billing company turned out to be saskbattery. Genuine Yuasa batteries for (slightly) cheaper...

    20 Bay/ 88 Queens Quay Parking Notice

    I bet the relatively tight confines of the bridge and building produce a nice echo when someone revs their bike with an uncorked exhaust. Must thrill the tenants at the lower levels of the building.

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    That bike won't even pass a safety as it sits in the photos, plus it's not the most desirable year for the RC51, and it looks like it may have been repainted with a rattle can. $8500 LOL.

    Best Suzuki dealership?

    I haven't had any problems with service at Brampton Powersports, but I aim for winter for significant work and do the periodic maintenance throughout the riding season myself. If you can get them to order the parts in advance and schedule the service it might be a quick in and out trip, but at...

    I agree, and understand the difference between a criminal code offence and an HTA offence, but, hypothetically, try telling the victims' family that the lost lives are only worth a slap on wrist because the at fault driver was only distracted by texting or cell phone use as opposed drunk. Are...

    Marco Muzzo

    While I feel this sentence is appropriate (if not a bit light), it would be interesting to know how this would play out if he had been texting when he blew the stop sign as opposed to drunk. Texting while driving is equally negligent, if not more so, given that the person is making a conscious...

    Marco Muzzo

    He was "allegedly" stopped for drinking and driving several times prior to this incident; they just didn't stick. Apparently he didn't learn anything from those prior incidents. He made the same bad decision on several occasions. He just didn't get away with it this time. A one-time offender...

    Marco Muzzo

    10 year sentence minus credit for time served. Mandatory parole hearing at 1/3 his sentence unless he declines (not likely). No prior criminal record, no mental issues, showing remorse. He'll be out on parole in about 3 years. He'll leave jail and walk right into a good paying job due to his...

    Selling a bike advise

    This has the potential to be an issue if somebody gets hurt with the bike while you are still the registered owner. Copies of signed and dated documents may eventually clear you, but it could still be a hassle just being associated with the bike after it's no longer in your care and control.

    Despite what I posted earlier in this thread, about the Walmart EverStart brand batteries and Yuasa being the same (according to other online resources), the "compatible" EverStart battery for my bike is clearly not the same. The Everstart battery is made in China, has a 170 CCA rating, and has...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    I think you posted this one in the wrong thread. Half of the modification devalue the bike in my opinion, and he's well above blue book high value. Not to mention his "$11,000 new" price in the ad must include prep and admin fees, and the taxes he paid because that bike has never had an...

    Just checked Walmart. The cheapest compatible Everstart battery (ES12BS) comes in at $86. On Yuasa.ca the YT12A-BS battery is listed at $89.50 (free shipping). For the small difference, I'd stick with Yuasa, as my current one is still the original 2006 with 80,000+ kms on it, so I'm happy...

    Canadian Online Stores

    Anyone purchased from http://yuasabattery.ca ? The OEM Yuasa battery for my bike lists on this site for nearly $40 less than Canada's Motorcycle and other local shops/retailers. The prices are suspiciously low by comparison.

    New Bike Purchase

    If wind protection is a big concern, why not check out the S1000XR. Basically the same bike under the skin with a bit more upright seating position and more wind protection.

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    He's clearly read the replies. Ad now includes model and cc, and the price is dropped to a measly $14,500 for an FZ07 with 40,000 kms on it.

    Stunt Driving.... Need Help!!!

    Try running that by the people who have subsequently been found innocent in a court of law, but were still out of pocket for towing fees, impound fees, lawyer fees, etc.

    Loud vs quiet exhaust?

    I would contend that the middle ground accepted by society is the level set by the Ministry. Surely you can believe there were advocates for even stricter noise restrictions just as there were others like you who want a higher limit, making the legislated level the middle ground. You just...

    Loud vs quiet exhaust?

    The problem is that everyone has a different level of acceptable tolerance that you, yourself, even acknowledge by putting in the phrase "that appeals to my taste". My acceptable level, and society's acceptable level of tolerance in general, falls close to the OEM level, which is why that is...
