    Nice! I'm ashamed I'm nowhere near your level, especially now with my pared down collection. Also, nothing really high-end or collectible. I used to own 5 guitars, 1 bass, 2 synths and a e-drum kit, and several FX processors. Sold my Squier Strat because... well, Squier... Sold my really nice...

    How long does it take to pull the trigger on a bike purchase?

    Me too. I'm not sure how it's possible, but somehow I've bought more motorcycles than I've sold... by a margin of 2-to-1... Thank you! Reading everyone's replies, like, "Oh yeah, I just think about getting a motorcycle and 30 seconds later it's in my garage! Doesn't everyone do that?" And...

    How long does it take to pull the trigger on a bike purchase?

    Oooh, do we need to start a "show us your musical instrument collection" thread? I mean, we already have a watch and knife thread... Sadly, most of my guitar collection was given away when we went on our trip, but I managed to save a few of my favorites. Also sold my drum kit and a synth...

    How long does it take to pull the trigger on a bike purchase?

    I try not to have too much overlap for the fleet. I have local dirt bike. I have a travel dirt bike. I have a bike that looks like a dirt bike but is really a street bike... Hm... ok maybe there's a *little* overlap... But in all seriousness, if I had a larger garage and a much larger wallet...

    I will admit that if Tire Pressure Troy has an infrared thermometer gun to help dial in his tire pressure, I will ask to borrow it... That sh`t is useful! signed, Tire Pressure Gene.

    100% for non-toys. We arrived back in Canada in late August 2019. By the beginning of Sept, we were driving from ON to BC in a brand new Tacoma. I don't care too much about cars and trucks, so whatever's got good reliability, got all the features I want ticked off, then it's just...

    Kawasaki KLE500 returning?

    Tubed tires 21" front wheel 34" seat height Set up well for off-road, if you're going to dabble in that. Otherwise, the above might be negatives for pavement only. No weight or power figures available yet. Guesstimating ~40-45 hp

    How long does it take to pull the trigger on a bike purchase?

    If it's toys, I take my time. I have more than a few vehicles in the garage, so it's not that pressing for me to impulse-buy another toy. I still have wheels to play with in the mean time. Right now, I'm mulling over whether I want to get back into track next year. The thought entered my mind...

    How long does it take to pull the trigger on a bike purchase?

    Huh. I'm very much in the minority, it seems. I remember when I bought my first high-end sports car. The brochure (remember those?) was sitting on my nightstand for 8 months before I put the deposit down. Then another 4 months waiting for it to be built. That brochure was the last thing I...

    My buddy also bought a 890 Adventure R when they were giving them away. MSRP is $17,500, they were blowing them out for $12,500 back when KTM was getting a lot of bad press about their chocolate camshafts and the company was going through their financial struggles. So he's happy he picked one...

    Only in India you say!

    My wife rented a CB1000R for a few weeks, it had the older Fireblade engine in it. Nice power! The new CB1000F would have the current Fireblade engine in it, they're estimating 150-155 ponies. Noice.

    How long does it take to pull the trigger on a bike purchase?

    I don't think I've ever impulse-bought a vehicle. Gestation time from, "that looks interesting" till the time it's parked in my garage is generally 6-18 months. Shortest time would be a bike that I'm replacing with the next version. Sold my R1200GS because it was getting long in the tooth, and...

    I have no problem with EZ-Up Eric. However, when Eric forgets to weigh down the corners of his EZ-Up, he becomes EZ-Up-Up-And-Away Eric. And then he quickly becomes Runaway-Canopy-Rick, the whole paddock having to deal with his EZ-Up flying into bikes, trucks and RVs... :oops: And of course...

    In the same year that Tron came out, there was another movie in the theatres which had a production cost of $33MM. By the end of its theatrical run, it made $39MM worldwide, but failed to turn a profit after marketing costs were factored in. By every metric, it was a box office flop. That...
