Um, that would be a great idea if he'd actually come and get it and pay the $100.

I DO want to tread somewhat carefully though, the kids knows where we live, obviously, and I'd be none too pleased if we offload his bike and he comes and retaliates on our property. But enough's enough, like I said, it's going on a YEAR.

Chiming in a bit late, but I've been happy with the service department at the Barrie HD dealer as well. My 1125R sat sitting for 6 weeks mid-summer last year (waiting on a stator from overseas), but once it came in they fixed it up right away. They have a couple service guys who ride Buells...

Thanks blackcamaro, I didn't know such a link existed, I'm going to run the VIN as soon as I get home. IF it's stolen, I'll call the cops to come get it. Probably should have done that a while back, but we assumed everything was legit... it still may be, but I can't fathom why the hell this kid...

Ha, I'll pass, nice try though. I'm pretty sure we could get at least $1000 for it if he fixes it, it's a newer, bigger Yamaha, I think a 250. So definitely an incentive to a- make it ours and b- get it the hell gone, with some extra cash to pay for the annoyance

I hope this is the right section for this. My husband is a mechanic and has been doing some work on bikes in our home garage here and there for some extra cash. This kid brought in a dirtbike last summer... almost a year ago, seized up and wanting my husband to take a look at it and summarize...

Yep. Him- 2007 R1 Me- 2009 Buell 1125R It's nice riding with someone who you can really trust to have your back and not do any stupid ***** (unless you do it together)

LOL! There's no sense people, she's clearly wiser than all of us, due the mad skills she's acquired from her extensive dirt riding. We'd have better luck reasoning with a bag of hammers. I just feel sorry for the dog.

FTR I have no issue with your age. It just means you can't possibly have a full M license, therefore are inexperienced riding on the street. You said you don't even know what caused you to go down when you did a while back, and you're nervous in corners now. Riding beside a cop with an M1 at...

^^^ OK thats just plain crazy too. What happens when the dog shifts its weight in a corner, and is clutching itself onto the 16 year old, inexperienced rider OP? You can't compare a living, breathing, thinking, potentially spooky dog to having a backpack on, on a motorized vehicle. Why...

I'm suprised to see her sitting there... but I still think it's absolutely crazy to even consider having a dog of that size, or any dog really, riding pilion. Even if you somehow tether her to you... one misstep while you go in to lean, the dog starts to fall, and the weight of the dog will...

At 16 years old, without a full M, and already having been down once, somewhat seriously, not long ago, I can't even believe you'd fathom this.

I can't even fathom the logistics of a large dog somehow sitting and balancing on a tiny motorcycle seat. Frankly I won't believe its even possible unless I see pics to prove it. I call BS as well. I have medium sized dogs, and I would never, ever, in a MILLION years even attempt to put them...

Give him/her a fake name and address. Make it a good one, a la Simpsons, like Seymore Butts. I played with someone like this for a long time, it was pretty amusing.

Uh yeah, this. Why is it SO offensive if a non-biker doesn't recognize the make/model/cc's of your bike? Does it really matter? Why would anyone go out of their way to research the nuances between subjects that they have no interest in. FTR, I'm a 'chick' and I'm over 30, and yet somehow...

So I bought the boat. Its an older (92) Bayliner with super low hours in mint shape. We put a value of $2000 on the bill of sale, yet they still quoted me $350 for insurance. That seesm excessive!

I'm in Northern Ontario, actually, so there are a LOT of lakes to choose from a stones throw from my home. I won't be keeping it at a marina or club, I'll be trailering it around. Good tips about the fuel containers, thanks. I'm actually looking at an older, but mint, 19' Bayliner bowrider...

Thanks, I have my operators license so I'm good there. I'm looking at smaller bowriders, hoping the gas won't kill me.

Yeah, I found that article, but its from 2006, I wasn't sure if it was still valid. I know its definitely a good idea, for the liability aspect especially... but if I buy the boat and can't get it insured right away I wanted to be sure I could still legally take it out and try it... or for...

I'm thinking of purchasing a boat, and was wondering if boat insurance is actually mandantory in Ontario? As in, is it actually ILLEGAL to be on the water without it? I'm curious to know the truth since I'm hearing different things from different people.
