    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    That might even be too generous. Judging by the state of the bike I don't trust the seller's judgment on the front wheel "maybe" needing to be replaced. Any eagle eyes know what's wrong with the seat? From here they look like the original items, but for some reason the passenger seat doesn't...

    Honda bringing back the V-4 ?

    The wacky V-3 E-compressor might make a little more sense if they can carry some parts over to another motor

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    250K on a 19 year old Bentley is impressive though! I wonder how much they've spent keeping it on the road

    Mosport new owners?

    Here is a reasonably well-written article with a little more info (still nothing on the terms of the sale). Also "Alex Krstic" is Alek Krstajic, a telecom executive who I guess has money burning a hole in his pocket...

    More Harley-Davidson management changes

    Just the new CEO making their changes. Why not, I don't think they could do much damage. I think what HD enthusiasts really have to worry about is the company being taken over by private equity in 2-3 years

    Mosport new owners?

    The primary source for this seems to be Facebook of all places (it's currently linked to from CTMP's front page). Any thoughts on this? Key names are Peter John Thomson, Chris Pfaff, and Alex Krstic (?). https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1278915604278227

    Phone Scammers

    It comes and goes. It definitely got bad enough this year that I was considering abandoning the phone number I've had for two decades. What really pisses me off is the "legitimate" texts/calls that put no effort at all into actually appearing legit. Credit card alerts, unsolicited messages from...

    How long do you keep your motorcycles?

    I completely missed that, I think I just assumed it was a parallel twin. I am honestly shocked they are still keeping the V-twin alive

    John Lennon

    At first I saw this thread title and thought "oh no, I guess John Lennon passed away". Then I thought maybe I need a caffeine refill Here's one of my favourite songs, not by John Lennon but inspired by him. It's Korean but the gist of it is we're not in the world you asked us to imagine yet but...

    How long do you keep your motorcycles?

    If I didn't have other things to worry about right now I would be turning over my whole "collection". Normally it would be every 2-3 years. Part of it is that I just like trying different bikes, part of it is looking for my Goldilocks bike which absolutely is possible to exist.

    Favourite Christmas movie

    My own vote has to go to Muppet Christmas Carol

    Favourite Christmas movie

    Trading Places is absolutely a Christmas movie. Dan Aykroyd sadly pulling a pilfered salmon fillet out of his Santa beard is a burned in memory

    I mean maybe you happen to live near a Carquest, like me. Jeez

    Cheapskates Corner

    Oh! Just thought of something else. Canadian Tire has bulbs and fuses that cost about 3x what they should. Carquest sells that stuff MUCH cheaper, sometimes it is the exact same SKU. Should be helpful to some people considering the staggering number of people I've noticed lately driving around...

    Would you buy a demo bike ?

    Yes, I would. But it better be priced as used

    You joke but I actually have wanted to try that ever since I learned about that nifty emergency feature

    Prediction for `26 bike insurance.....

    Rates *might* go up in 2026. I would put money on them DEFINITELY going up in 2027, if you retain all the now optional accident benefits

    Kawasaki Is About to Ruin 2-Strokes Forever

    Are you nuts? The "golden age" of the 2 stroke was 40-50 years ago, depending on who you are talking to. Do you also complain about automatic ignition timing, or that time they added filters to cigarettes? Transmission fluid isn't any good anymore after they took the whale oil out?

    Doug has made insurance worse, again

    As of July 2026, most Statutory Accident Benefits that were previously mandatory will now become optional. I am going to list them directly off the FSRAO fact sheet, along with their descriptions of what they do: Income replacement: Helps replace income you lose because of an accident...

    Insurance question - income replacement

    You will be able to next year. I'm going to write a longer seperate post about it soon, but Doug made some changes again that I think are a net downgrade. Think insurance that is weaker or more expensive
