They were ! They had an Interceptor, Katana and (I think) a Ninja from the early-mid 80s - three of my favourite bikes ever.

Went to the show today with my two sons. The rep measured my head and said I should be in a small as well, but when I put it on it was clearly not a fit - the helmet sat too high on my head for my ears to fit in the recesses or the lid to close properly. He also did mention the different...

$1055 OTD seemed too low (vs 1242 OTD), but the math checks out. GP offers 15% off to OFTR members, and I vastly prefer shopping there over Rider's Choice - way too much attitude in the latter for my taste. I'm interested in the E2 since some reviews seem to suggest it's a C5 with a peak...

What kind of deals on apparel and helmets might there be? I’m in the market for a Schuberth C5 and need a touring or ADV style jacket as the zippers on mine melted together . Or maybe a Ducati jacket I saw at a dealer that I can’t get out of my mind.

Ugh. That’s silly. I did flip through their FB page but it seemed far from definitive and not sure if my favorite shoeshine guy or sausage maker is on Facebook.

Is there no listing of vendors on the show website? I looked and couldn’t find one but thought that couldn’t be possibly right.

Good on you. The most principled stands are the ones that cost us.

I have no problem with the notion of paying tolls, but I refuse to take the 407. Infrastructure like that should not be privately held and the exorbitant tolls charged relative to other jurisdictions effectively points to a two-tiered system with huge differences in those two tiers. It was...

A friend of mine had his master bedroom done in one of those makeover shows where two couples redo each others rooms. The furniture that looked good on screen was just really poorly slapped together plywood with coats of paint on the sides that showed. They had the couple do a little painting...

I went in February of 2017 because we had tickets to Hawaii bought and paid for well in advance and my wife and kids would have left me. I was not happy about it and went kicking and screaming but made it clear I would not be travelling with them to or through the US for the next four years...

I am not going to the US for the foreseeable future. Perhaps ever. And this pains me as a person who once truly believed it was the greatest country on earth.

15 years old on a dirt bike. We had a property with maybe a few hundred acres adjoining forest. Self taught. Guy at dealership (Cycle World in Scarborough, I believe) sort of showed us what to do but we didn’t get to try. Took it home, tried to remember what we had learned and studied the...

Tie it to a big piece of prime real estate and he could get some buddies to take care of it lickety split.

I'm on iOS, but was looking for that ability in the Marketplace app or website itself. Having to zoom in at the OS level is jacked - I should be able to tap on the image and pinch to zoom, or use the browser's built in zoom feature, but for whatever reason Facebook borked that ability both...

You must be able to take a closer look at it than I. I have never been able to figure out how to zoom into pictures in Marketplace. If you know how, please share! I got interested in bikes in the early 80s and would study the bike mags like they were my Bible, so that's still a good price for...

This is a good price for a bike that was a beast in its day, if it's in as good condition as it looks. My heart skipped a beat when I saw it. 1984 Yamaha FJ1100 $1495

This guy deserves credit for the body of the listing: Goldwing 1500 $1300 56000 miles on it. Brand new battery brand new front tire. Everything runs perfect on this bike. The only flaws is a small rip in the seat cover. Easy fix. This is a 1994 and runs like new. I've had it 4 months bought...

But you had fun, right?

Some of the most fun riding I've ever done has been renting a moped at a cruise ship port of call.

This one is overpriced if you consider you have to buy it from a guy who has no papers or plates but still manages to ride around town in it. CBR250 2012 Motorcycle $1100
