1988 Honda Hawk GT, bought used in 1999. The bike I wanted was the freshly released SV650, but something that new wasn't in my budget. Read a blurb somewhere, probably in Motorcyclist Magazine or similar, that the Hawk GT was an even sweeter handling bike, and I preferred the look, so was...

Further to this, I've judged bikes based on the state of the seller's garage if those are where the pics were taken. If I see a spotless garage that's indistinguishable from a MotoGP box, that's major bonus points. If I see a bit of a jumble, but signs of good work and good tools, that's decent...

Why is it that any time I see one of these, the women's painting of the men is half decent, while the reverse looks like it was done by a six-year-old? Extra points for the seagulls as an attempted distraction...

It's fantastic. We enjoyed Season 2 even more, I think. Have heard similarly good things about Season 3, though we cancelled our Crave subscription, so haven't checked it out yet. We're due to make some changes to our subscriptions as it's impossible to watch them all, so we chop and change and...

I've heard very good things about the Carpe Iter handlebar controllers, and will likely pick one up this summer to combine with an Android Auto screen to pair with my phone tucked away safely somewhere. I've used an SP Connect mount for a few years with an old LG Android handset to protect my...

The surround on the transom comes off super easy (you can see a chromed finger nut on the port side). Otherwise, I'm fairly sure the raised and textured portions of the cockpit desk can come out as well, though with a bit more work. Still, all a pain, and either means more swearing and busted...

More unsolicited advice time, but if it's my ad, I do a few things: - Clean those rims! Especially the rear wheel looks dirty, and it's accentuated by the chain lube drips. Ironically, the 'golden hour' pics are really highlighting that and it pops out when I look at it on my computer. I'd also...

I think yours shows the clocks as the thumbnail for me. Make sure you post via the website and you can usually reorder the photos to make sure the one you want is the thumbnail...

Assume you mean a 24? I'm reasonably sure Limestone never built a 28, though Medeiros did under the Hunt brand, I think. Though with that XL beam, the 24s do feel a bit like a 28... $32k for a clean Medeiros-built example (meaning newer, not necessarily better than the Hinterhoeller ones) with...

Two things I'm always reminded of watching amateur trials: 1. A rider can go from looking like a ballet dancer on wheels to an epileptic wine maker crushing grapes in the blink of an eye. 2. The pros are absolute effing magicians with otherworldly talent. 3. Grassroots sport is the absolute...

This can be a great source of deals if you're willing to roll the dice. But the flip side is I've gone to look at similar ads where the bike ends up being even worse than the ad suggests, with crappy photos disguising major problems or proving to be old photos with the bike now being in even...

My Guzzi calls for 10W-60, so I'm stuck with boutique brands. Have a jug of Liqui-Moly for spring, and as they've been supportive of Canadian racing, I figure they're as good as anyone. About the same price as Motul and Motorex, and all made in Germany (I think?)...

This is good advice. I sold my Tuono within 8 days in the fall because I looked at equivalents and undercut them by $500. Ended up selling for asking anyway, which is where a lot of those ads were likely looking to end up regardless. The bike was in excellent condition, and I was able to show...

Aprilia does this from time to time with unsold models. I bought my 2018 Tuono in February 2019 for about $4k off sticker from International Motorsports in BC. Full warranty, mostly identical bike to a 2019 anyway. $16+ k for that bike is incredible value. That much gets you a much more basic...

Congrats! Will be a very happy place to pile on the miles... Sent from my Pixel 9 Pro using Tapatalk

It's funny, in BC when I was there, everyone used Craiglist. Was a real shock coming to Ontario to find everyone on Kijiji. I personally much preferred the minimalist and clean interface of Craigslist, but considering both are being killed by FB Marketplace, it's clear that interface isn't what...

Ah, if you want Ice Fields, then you could go as follows in Google Maps: - Edmonton - Jasper - Lake Louise - Lillooet - Vancouver - Nelson - Calgary Adds a bit to the previous route, but is much better than doubling back at the end. The above route really would be a 'best of' for the southern...

For standing desks, I have had one for years. The benefits of standings sitting I think are way less than once thought, but I still like to be able to mix it up and stretch a bit throughout the day. Sitting too long makes my legs ache. Where it was best was in my old office when I installed a...

Used to do a lot of work with tensioned cables, and sometimes shifting them involved pulling them with other cables and winches, which sometimes broke. We always used cable damper saddles with about 5 lbs of sand, set past the halfway point closer to the far end of the winch cable. The longer...

This is what I'm doing his year, setting the PVR to record on Rev. First year in ages I haven't ponied up for the MotoGP.com package, but I didn't watch much except highlights past about the halfway point of the season last year, and I expect to watch even less this year. Will check back in when...
