Too true. No one ever said on their death bed, "I wish I had worked more..." Sorry to hear about your friend.

Awesome, thanks for the info!

Well, that's not gonna work. I needs me a bigger bike so I can catch up to all the 125cc and 250cc bikes at the end of the straightaway, after I get passed by them on the outside in the corners. Also, at 5'6" and 150 lbs, I need a larger displacement motor which can handle someone of my height...

From their website: [url unfurl=false]https://racer5.ca/collections/rentals[/url] And then the link goes to a dead page. Are they still doing this? What kind of bikes? The page only works for gear rental, nothing for motorcycles? I'd totally sign up for this if the bikes were 600cc or more...

Tried to join, but the sign-up page said if I didn't have any friends, they wouldn't let me in. I said, "I know @Jayv" and they immediately deleted my application and blocked me. 🤷‍♂️ didn't wanna join your dumb group anyway

Other than the race schools, who else rents bikes at tracks these days? Pro6 used to have a couple for rent, but I don't think they do that anymore. Would love to know, since I'm in Toronto a few times a year and it would be great to do a few track days on a rental bike. Even better if they...

If it's a genuine BMW Motorrad clutch cable, it's probably teflon lined. The lining on your original cable might have worn down.

I told myself I need to drink less. But on the other hand, who wants to listen to advice given by a drunk weirdo who talks to himself...?

@JC99's kids: "We want Mr. Greek for dinner!" @JC99: "We have Mr. Greek at home."

I'm all about the simple life as well. I ratcheted down both the spending and earnings over a decade ago, and the only luxuries I splurge on are anything motorcycle-related, including road trips. No more fancy restaurants, expensive cars, non-bike vacations. No fancy watches or knives either...

Yep, key words are "extra $50K lying around", money that I wouldn't miss. However, here I am, without a sports car or a track membership... :cry:

I have fringe tastes in most things. Back in the early 2000s, BMW released a series of short movies called "The Hire" directed by big names like, like John Woo and starring celebrities like Madonna. The main character was played by a very young Clive Owen who was a Transporter-like character...

Uh.....

Oops, here's your requested emoji: 😍👺🕵️‍♀️👠👠👠 Now we all wait to get banned by @Evoex...

S'all good, man.

huh. I just spent last night watching Z4 M40i videos... https://www.cargurus.ca/Cars/l-Used-2020-BMW-Z4-c28992#listing=424828661/NONE/DEFAULT Though I'd opt for a manual tranny. Those are as rare as hens teeth.

Yep, that's exactly the scenario I was talking about. I've rebalanced within my RSP quite a few times over the years, and not having to pay CG taxes each time has had a profound effect on compounding growth.

I get the feeling this doesn't apply to @AllistonGT either... He's hiding some kind of secret financial strategy and I want to know it!

True, but I'm currently maxed out on the dividend tax credit. In my tax-sheltered accounts, not having to pay cap gains taxes every year has been very tax-advantageous when performing sector rotation or rebalancing my asset allocation. Am I anomalous for having too much "churn" in a retirement...

Elaborate? I stopped contributing to RSPs a long time ago because I don't have any meaningful employment income to contribute from. But mathematically, wouldn't compounding growth in any tax sheltered account (RSP, TFSA, etc) be better than getting axed every April? Is "tax planning" having a...
