Unless I missed it, did the OP/wantsabike get a bike?

I`m thinking CR500 or KX500 for some nice leisurely two-up trail riding. :)

FIFY. ;)

Who can forget Fook Mi and her sister Fook Yu...oh behave. :p

I saw 2 bikes that may interest you at Durham Harley. Suzuki Boulevard 800, `07 with 64K on it and Honda VT 750, `09 with 40K on it. 905-434-6550. No price listed on either, but being a HD dealer they may want both gone. Also with being a HD dealer they will likely try to bang you out of every...

Said everyman, everywhere, at some point. 🙃

Not only engine displacement to consider but the physical size of the bike too. Lots of used H-D s on the market, Road King, Street Glide or a new `25 Road King would be ideal. All of them generally carry an eye watering price however. A used late model V-Strom 1000 would be a solid choice too...

If you can, catch the latest episode of El Camino on Rev TV. It goes into detail at behind the scene at a motorcycle dealership. GP Bikes in this profile. A lot of what we`ve discussed here and sometimes blind luck is a factor. They took on a number of Euro brands as they grew out of boutique...

Since you`re pretty much half way there, why not just try the mini-apes off the `25 Harley Street Bob? :p They actually look kinda` comfy.

Her name was Annabel Force, died on June 8th. Because the bike was stolen there was no crash scene, her parents were looking for her and she was located from her phone in her jacket. It`s figured that 90 minutes passed before she was located and the questions arise if she could have been saved...

I remember reading some stats. outta` the States a few years ago. About half of motorcycle crashes with no other vehicle in the mix, were alcohol involved. Now add weed into the numbers, with many people thinking it has little effect on driving/riding, numbers are likely overall more substantial.

I was reading about a 19 year old woman in Phoenix AZ, riding an R7 I believe, couple weeks ago. For whatever reason she hit the wall on a ramp and went over it and fell 80 feet to her death. And some dirtbag(s) stole her bike from the scene before first responders arrived. May they burn in Hell.

Back then I lived around Don Mills/401. Did you ever deal with Pitshop Cycle? They were a small Suzuki/Ducati shop on the N side of Kingston Rd. east of Morningside? I recall.. that`s long ago. They were family run too, man so many memories. I`ve always kept moving north and east, well out of...

I was around there a lot about the time you bought your 750, I got parts there for my `78 GS1000. Earlier this week I was in Lindsay Cycle speaking with the parts guy Gary. He worked at Sonic too, knows the biz inside out. The kinda` guy the video mentions, not a lot left in the business.

I worked with a guy who must have had, seriously, over 100 Harley T shirts from dealers all over N. America. And he had never owned a motorcycle or even ridden one.

That sure sounds like the decline we are witnessing with everything in disarray and decay. Everything must pass, I suppose.

Lots of pieces in the puzzle for sure. After watching that it`s just like everything else, it`s always about the money from every angle you look at it.

All solid advice. Not sure how long the OP`s driveway would be but I`ve lived in Barrie and now Kawartha Lakes, seen some heavy snowfalls. A powerful ATV with a plow should do it unless it`s 200 feet long. Probably tractor/plow time then.

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...
