    Moto gear at Motorcycle Show

    To give some of those a sense of what it costs to run a business: My friend went to see the old Princess Auto location in Whitby, for a non-motorcycle related business. Location is OK, but not really a high traffic area, like maybe hwy 2 in Whitby. The rent was $38,000 a month. So you need to...

    Moto gear at Motorcycle Show

    Yes that's about right. Most bike shops selling gear and parts, only get around 35% off the retail price from distributors. So if an item sells for $100, the shop pays around $65 for it. I know we want to think that if they are selling something for $100 they are paying $25 for it, but that is...

    Moto gear at Motorcycle Show

    hahaha, I love it when people who have never owned a business, tell these places how they should run it. I don't know about now, but before Covid it cost the vendors a ton to set up at these shows. (cost of space, staffing, trucks for moving all stock there and back, closing their store for...

    Moto gear at Motorcycle Show

    Somebody rents a huge 6 hall facility and organizes 50 or 60 motorcycle shops plus 10 beef jerky shops, that I can go to, all in 1 day and I don't have to pay for parking. I have no problem paying them $20 to go in.

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    OK, I don't get this, you go to MTO with ID and for $30.00 they give you a new ownership, it's no big deal. Unless you are not the owner.

    Claim or no claim? Insurance says still a claim?

    So some of you may remember there was an attempt to steal my motorcycle 10 weeks ago. Well BMW finally fixed my bike. The total is about $1400, but I have a $1000 deductible. I called my insurance because I was going to eat the $400 and not have a claim. Well they said that it is still recorded...

    High mileage on a surprising bike

    Until he sells the bike. LOL Kind of cool, but I hope he has had other bikes. I don't want to ride the same bike for 40 years, with how bikes have changed over the years.

    Motorcycle Supershow Reviews 2024 Edition

    Keep in mind we are in Covid land now. You are not going to see the same amount of gear as you would in years past. There are many 2022 helmets that will not be in Canada till August or later. I have heard rumors that the major vendors at the Jan show are not going to take the same amount of...

    Helmet Breaking In Strategies

    I have worn an Arai large forever. When I bought the first Corsair X in a large I could hardly get it on my head. I stuck a football in the cheek area (not all the way in) and left it for a couple days. It still took a bit to get it on, but now it fits me perfectly.

    Oooooh, the new Ducati Scrambler was unveiled.
