There are far too many scammers out there. Pay cash at pickup. If the seller balks, move on. Burlington to Toronto is not exactly the end of the world. Did you offer to give a deposit AFTER you had seen the bike? The seller may be legit but at the same time you may be sucker #50 he has asked...

I took a quick peruse through Kijiji, Craigslist and Auto Trader earlier today. There are far too many overpriced bikes to list here. The seriously overpriced ones seem to have the same things in common. The current owner gives you a list of the far away places they have ridden to in the past...

I wasn't speaking of doing a pal a favour but rather about numerous riders being unsatisfied with what's currently available. I was attempting to explain why what's currently available is so poor.

A few years back there was a very active thread on winter motorcycle storage. Everyone was complaining about either lack of space available or the inconvenience of travelling to the edges of Toronto. We want cheap and safe storage downtown. Being retired now, I started to look into it. Storage...

There is a set procedure to transferring the ownership of a vehicle. Government workers are trained in how to perform their specific duties and very little else. When you go outside the borders or stretch the envelope, the employee doesn't know how to react. This is why some people get a bike...

Nebraska tourism is stating with the flat plains, smog free skies and everything else they will be offering the best views.

At one time your doctor had to sign the disabled permit application to certify that you were in fact disabled. Has that been waived?

Some time ago the Province changed the law so that people with unpaid parking tags and unpaid tolls would have the money attached to the sticker when it was renewed. This was certainly better than the old system where people could be locked up for nonpayment. Because of this there are a lot of...

Or the buyer thinks the places they went on the bike or the fun they had riding it has some effect on how much a person who has never seen it before is willing to pay.

The next thing you know you will want dealers to have their heroin returned if they are found not guilty. If those who were allegedly stunt driving are found not guilty their cars should be returned. But I can't recall anyone ever being found not guilty of stunt driving.

They have to be the worst set of photos I have ever seen for an overpriced bike. Does he think if he takes it out in the sunshine the bike will go bad?

I should have added to bend it just enough to get it out. It will break.

Several years ago I restored a BMW K100 as my winter project. I got everything up to standard and was about to take it in for the safety. I was going to use my old licence plate but I dropped the nut for the licence plate screw. It got stuck behind the plate holder. I looked at the holder...

The Harley is in the same general condition and they want 6000. I think these guys just checked the "blue book" but looked under the good condition column instead of the POS column.

I was visiting a friend one time on a side street near Queen and Ossington. There was a disabled permit on a monster truck. The bottom of the door was about five feet from the street. I don't think I could get into that truck, how was a disabled person supposed to do it?

I was out for a ride with some friends a few years back. One of the lads had a BMW and had done his own oil change. He had not put a new crush washer on the plug. The plug worked its way lose and dropped the whole load of oil on the road. We were very lucky and found the plug. We refilled the...

During a normal business day in Toronto expect that up to 30% of people who are displaying disabled permits and parked illegally are not disabled. As the permit can be moved from vehicle to vehicle they are abused. The contractor described above is most likely using a family members permit...

At pay and display areas (the replacement for the parking meters) motorcycles are not required to pay. There is a 3 hour limit for parking on all streets in Toronto, but it's only enforced if there is a complaint. Disabled permits are exempt as are vehicles that have overnight permits if its the...

I was just looking at the weather network site. Above freezing for the next several days, but rain as well. This should clear the salt from the roads. Once the rain ends, temperatures around plus 10. Could it be that the riding season will begin in earnest the middle of next week? Of course, the...
