I gotta say the up front cost of any new car (ice or ev) is discouraging. And used ev can also be either high cost or battery degradation concerns. They maybe unfounded but, still lingers when considering something different from the usual. Our auto repair shop that handles our oil changes...

Agreed! A sharp insurance adjuster can deny a claim very easy. And most times folks get away with it until something happens and test the logic and rational.

Fish and chips lunch Friday in Dover?

Congratulations!

The coverage does allow for road tests and anytime you take a vintage machine out for a ride, it’s a test! Just rebuilt the top end and doing a break in, seating brake pads, just trued the wheel etc. Why am I 200 kilometres away from home? Those tire balance beads didn’t seem to work as...

You just keep doing you and make that blue bomber road worthy again. When you get sick of it, I’ll be knock n! Snow ball chance in hell but, you never know!

I’ve still got a full time job and it changes over time. Presently I’ve got business meetings in the GTA and thought it would be ideal to ride. It might be a little more ambitious than I thought. I could be continuous highway speeds on a stand bike (the R80) makes it less pleasant and a bit...

Anyone participate this year? I know GTAM supports ride for sight. Have to say this was my first time and quite enjoyed it. Hundreds of countries participated around the globe on the same day raising funds for men’s health. Niagara Region raised over $9k

With a computer flash of the ZX4RR, that little 4 is worth a grand to insure each year to keep a smile on your face. I’m hoping for someone to pour their money and effort into their recent CB1 barn find and sell it to me just because.

You’re still young so get what ever floats your boat. The S40 has a good following. Great boulevard cruiser and taking the young ones for ice cream. Probably easy on insurance and upkeep. For around the $2k to $3k range, there are plenty of selection of all kinds in good shape. Not just S40...

BMW K1200RS is $890 annual premium with Desjardins. 56 years old and clean driving record. The R80 is $50 less a year, less than half the HP, 800 cc vs 1200. I don’t think I gave them expected kilometres ridden a year.

RIP and condolences to family and friends. This really hits me hard as my kids have ridden pillion with me often. Can’t imagine.

Better half would always tease me about my unwillingness to stretch or yoga. Meh! Ride, wings, beer and bench I’d say! (And not necessarily in that order) Now, I truly enjoy it and work on my balance as well.

Three wheel tracks for off road isn’t ideal. The more I think about it, the more I’d prefer a quad. I’m sure it will sell just fine and have a lot of happy owners. More options are better. Even when those options don’t appeal me.

I get the appeal of healthier living and how it can develop better habits. Been going to the gym consistently 3 to 4 times a week for about an hour first thing in the morning. Learning as I go. Sprinkle in a bicycle ride or walk along the beach. I’ve become mindful of what I’m eating and...

I’m sure in the wild it looks much different. From those pics, it looks like a Lego constructor series set. With panniers it could get mistaken as a shipping container.

Over Easter I pulled the trigger on a K series BMW. Mature owner downsizing his stable as he battles cancer. It’s been ridden and well cared for and comes with a bunch of farkles. FJR, Concours, VFR and a few others were in consideration. The ADV style hasn’t appealed to me. At least not...

The garage is getting a little tight…….

Very nice and look forward to a check in review after a few more miles and time on the saddle. I get a Facebook feed of an east coast dealer that promotes RE and this specific model caught me eye. I’ve also watched Adri’s vids on the his RE 650 twin and appreciate the feedback on the rear...

To answer your question, yes you can. If travelling together (2 or more) and the total amount of the purchase doesn’t exceed the total personal amount, you are good to go. Just ensure you declare it like that and you won’t have any problems. If your travel companion claims nothing and you say...
