Depends on the shipper. If it's sent DHL you're generally guaranteed to get dinged with the full amount of taxes/duty, which will usually be about 30% of the declared value. I've bought from motocard.nl and the converted prices + shipping + duty (they're DHL) was still less than local price +...

Jesus, what weather was that? It was way too hot for me most of this summer considering my new bike is like riding an oven around and it felt like 40C for like 2 months. Picked up my 999 in June, have put on something like 4500km. Maybe 1-1.5k on the 696 at the start of the season before I sold it

Some of them can't even ride in a straight line: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruBr6Vy4SuI&feature=youtu.be&t=7m25s

They're having another meet soon, so you can be there'll be a repeat of that last ride that drew a ton of attention.

I did the belt tensioners at around 24k on my 696 which is about when they're known to start failing. I think it ran me about $4-600 for parts and labor at GP.

They also threw a cup at the riders, and then pulled alongside them in the curb lane to yell obscenities at them which is when the biker knocked their mirror off. So yeah, the car occupants are a couple of saints.

The only thing that brings prices down here is desperation or competition. I watched prices on several bikes I was interested in for a couple years while I waited for insurance to work out in my favour and the only time they were at reasonable prices was in the spring when there were several...

Says the guy avoiding downtown Toronto because of the boogyman.

What's shocking about this? The guy ran over multiple people and fled, leading them on a high speed chase. What a poor victim!!

You'd be surprised how quick you get used to a heavy clutch, ride it for a bit before you swap parts

Are you admitting that you've broken the speed limit?

Yeah I found my Duc turns into P a little too easily past lock, so it's something I'm always cautious of. I usually check my tail light after parking just to be sure. * Might want to look at a more comfortable seat, I found mine like riding around on a sandwich board. Picked up a Sargent seat...

Maintenance intervals have definitely increased over the years, with the latest 821/899/1200/1299 era stuff being something like 30,000km for valves. Mistake I made buying an '04 Duc was skipping checking the charging system. Be suspicious if the bike is always on a tender. Check the running...

Here we go again...

You use "I've got" in your signature ;)

Relax, I also wear fluorescent textile coveralls. I'm just not gonna defend cops sitting around on our dime for 90mins to give a warning to someone for a minor problem. If a cop waited 90mins to tell you your plate cover's illegal, you'd probably think it was ridiculous.

How many of you run plate covers on your car?

I had a GoPro for a bit but found some of the "cooler" mounting points vibrated at frequencies that harmonized with their framerate leading to jelly-vision. Front fork for example was an awful location, as cool as it could look. Mounting on the bars was okay and very stable, but the best...

Think it's worth a cop hanging out for an hour and a half for because he has a hardon from some previous time some biker ran from him?

Man what happened to this forum?
