How do you define accessible? In 1991, my friend bought a brand new ZX-7 for $8k. They no longer offer a 750 today, but a ZX-6R is $14k, and a ZX-10R is $20k. Factoring inflation, $8k is worth $16k today, so it slots right in between them as it should. In 2000, I paid around $18k for my demo...

The specs say 20A. Would it work on a standard 15A outlet for something simple like tacking a nut onto something, or would it trip the breaker right away?

Maybe edit your post to say you plan on using it on your bike, just so we can keep this in the general forum.

Rider's Choice is also having a sale, but their site is SLOOOOOOW as molasses, so be warned (you can probably get to the store in person before the site loads).

Post any Black Friday deal here. Got this from Ttriple Clamp Moto: Black Friday sales are now live online, and for our local customers we’re running an open-warehouse event with even hotter deals and in-person specials. From Wednesday to Saturday this week, walk our warehouse aisles...

I bought my 2000 Ducati 748S in the fall of 2000 as a demo from Terminal Velocity. It was the first "new" bike I had and have ever bought. It had a few hundred km's on it, and the price caught my eye because of the huge discount (vaguely remember it being around $5000 off). Full warranty started...

Yes, anything but transportation like in European or Asian countries.

You're thinking of the manufacturer sponsored events like "Demo Days". But if you walk into GP Bikes any other time, they'd throw you the keys and let you go on your own - or at least they used to. I know Apex still does.

Just like buying a used bike, but I'd only do it if it included the full warranty, not prorated. With modern manufacturing tolerances, an easy break-in isn't as necessary as it used to be. In fact, riding it hard helps to seat the rings better.

OK, if it's the only one that supports your ECU, then you have no choice. But I was thinking of the case where JPDiag or TuneECU supports your ECU - is there is any additional functionality in one of these all-in-one proprietary tablets that you don't get in JPDiag or TuneECU when loaded on your...

I've never understood these dedicated scanning tools. Are these really just for tech-averse people who don't want to load an app on their tablet?

Doesn't seem to be different from other industries. Have you tried buying a new car lately? Or how about just groceries? You can pretty much replace "bike shops" with any other hobby shop and see a lot of similarities. And yes, motorcyling in Canada is seen as a hobby, not transportation, even...

Don't even bother cooking a decent (expensive) cut of beef without a thermometer. You'll be very lucky if you end up undercooking it if you're aiming for a proper medium-rare. Also consider reverse searing. This is for roasts, but the principle works for steaks as well (I go up to 250F for...

Looks more like a brake caliper piston.

Very nice, but why does everyone get the same amount - shouldn't it be a percentage of their premium paid?

TLDR - yes, makes sense. I've done it a few times. I once bought a muffler for my M3 not realizing how ridiculously loud it was until after I got it installed, and within a week I wanted to reinstall the OEM. Before I was able to, I was leaving the Home Depot on Curity on my way to Warden and...

Exactly. It will just be like the way they push financing - the lower advertised price is based on you using their financing that they also make money on. Want to pay cash or use another financing company, then the vehicle price goes up! I see this at a lot of used vehicle dealers, not sure if...

Or store your tools in the now-empty battery compartments...

Leave the batteries in the vehicles and run SAE extensions if necessary.

And while we're at it, if you're the only registered driver and agree nobody else will operate the vehicle but you, then they should be able to do the same with the liability and vehicle coverage as well. EDIT: Fire/theft/comprehensive - whatever coverage for when the vehicle is not being...
