    Buying gear from Europe

    Florence is mostly about the Renaissance, which is all about the art from that time period, including the churches. For me, while the art is incredible, and the food is top notch, the city itself doesn't have enough to make the insane crowds worth the headache for more than a couple of days...

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    I dunno. He stopped riding just cause he no longer rides, maybe he will start riding just cause he rides again. Then he can IGNORE the LOWBALLERS permanently.

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    You won't just be ignored, you will be IGNORED! And the reason for selling is a classic... Example 8,658,735 of a bike ridden through an accessories catalogue and a seller expecting to recoup his cost for all the accumulated tat.

    Buying gear from Europe

    I've heard good things about them via RC51 groups for being able to order OEM parts here that may be out of stock from North American warehouses. Not to be confused with WeBike, which is a really cool Japanese site selling bits by aftermarket Japanese manufacturers that you often don't see here...

    What are you currently playing?

    Something like this would cover all current games and be playable for quite a few years: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/QQY2fd Individual parts can be swapped depending on what's available and on sale. Either way, to get something worth building now, expect to pay around $2000 plus Windows...

    Got a chance to ride at a private track!!!

    Nice! That place had just opened when we were in BC, but most Vancouver guys were still going to the Ridge because it's actually slightly closer than driving to Oliver. The WMRC races at Mission, but I know a few of those guys would do an early season weekend at Area 27 as a shakedown for the...

    I guess the chopped cafe racer thing is officially dead, eh?

    I'd be infinitely more interested in that than the King of the Baggers series!

    High speed trains

    Rome is unique. It's hard to find a city more densely packed with history, and it's nut just new finds that slow things down. Much of that line is being built immediately adjacent to the Colosseum and Forum, so there's the dual challenges of both protecting what's already there as well as...

    I guess the chopped cafe racer thing is officially dead, eh?

    Definitely a different crowd. These seem mostly to be homebrew, and the build quality is often equivalently junk. The whole DIY aesthetic was a big part of the appeal, while the chopper craze was often to pay someone else to assemble an unrideable piece of junk for you from catalog parts. It's...

    I guess the chopped cafe racer thing is officially dead, eh?

    Capped at 10, but I for sh*ts and giggles I opened the FB Marketplace 'Motorcycles' page instead of searching for something specific, and there are dozens and dozens of these things, most either sitting or heavily reduced.

    High speed trains

    Sure, but land cost (soft costs per that paper) is hardly unique to Canada. It's not like real estate in central Milan is cheap. They're just much better at a) telling the complainers to eff off, allowing for more cost effective routes and much cheaper tunneling options, and b) reusing/sharing...

    High speed trains

    The inability for English-speaking countries to build cost-effective railways is well documented. For a variety of reasons, we collectively can't get it done, and seem to be uniquely terrible at delivering large projects for a reasonable cost generally. There'a an interesting paper that delves...

    What is your Budget for a Bargain Find?

    I will say, I think Honda build quality from that era is probably the best of any manufacturer at any time. Absolutely top-notch. I think of all the ham-fisted wrenching I did on my Hawk GT, and the fasteners all looked like new. And that gas makes me want to tell someone to drink more water...

    What is your Budget for a Bargain Find?

    Have a feeling a full carb disassembly plus ultrasonic cleaning might be in your future... Good thing the bike is cool enough to justify the headache...

    Where's the ignore button?

    Yep. Hate to do it, but had to use it for the second time here. Has massively improved things.

    Everybody Give Me Wrong Battery, Even When I Give Them My Ownership

    In defense of the OP, I've bought more than a dozen replacement batteries over the years. Never once have I actually dragged the old one in. I just write down the numbers on the one I have, find the equivalent, and go from there. In this case, per my post above, it seems there is some bad info...

    Blocked IPs?

    I'm on Cogeco at home FWIW. Not sure if the office is Bell, but both wifi networks had an identical issue.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    I did, and while there's plenty of cheaper options (around $90), I already knew the one I was looking at was decent, having watched a few YouTube reviews. I've seen a super cheap one from Aliexpress, and the display was incredibly laggy and junky. For the extra $70, plus the massively more...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    It is specific for motorcycles, only comes with a clamp-on bar mount. If you have clip-ons, you may need to get creative. It's also IP67 waterproof (one of the bar buttons turns off the touchscreen for when it's raining) and has a light sensor so it automatically adjusts the brightness based on...
