    More ducati stupidity.

    I don't like it but I have to pay around 40k for a van that meets my daily needs. 32k for a toy is another story. No wonder the used market is so popular.

    Bills Are For Real

    Went to Buffalo to watch them take on the Vikings in a pre-season game this year and was impressed. Haven't seen them play like that in a long time and it got me interested in the team again. Still I didn't expect them to do this well this year, guess they are for real.

    Opinions on Echelon

    Been with Echelon for about 14 years. Get other quotes every couple of years and they are usually the lowest or only a few dollars more than other companies so not worth switching to me. I'm over 65 and have one speeding ticket on my record. Ride a 1700cc cruiser style bike.

    Looking Americade tips .

    Check the motel prices before you make plans. I went in 2017 and paid $88 for a night. Same motel was charging over $200 this year so I decided not to go. Many people pay it though so they keep charging ridiculous rates. Better book now if you're going. Lots of places have already sold out.

    Suzuki boulevard M90 or Yamaha Stryker ????

    Both are too big for you. These are not starter bikes. Go with a smaller bike. Vstar 650 is a good one.

    Seeking someone to look over a first bike for me

    You can use the bill of sale on the UVIP but if you have a bill of sale from the seller you don't need the one on the UVIP. If you can't get Frekeguy you can call Red at Red's Motorcycles in Orangeville. He'll do a safety for you and give you an opinion on the bike. redsmotorcycles.ca is the...

    Do you buy used or new? Why?

    All used. For a toy it's a lot of money to invest if buying new and losing the depreciation just by driving it off the lot. By buying used I don't lose that 30% up front and if I see a good deal on another used bike a few years down the road I can sell my current ride and not lose much. Have...

    Narrow touring bike bike for old hips??

    Honda Interstate or Stateline has a narrow tank but you would need to put a custom seat on it.

    The Great Mouse Hunt is On

    Doesn't have to be a toxic gas. Any welding gas would do the job as long as it doesn't contain oxygen. Wrap the bike and pump in some argon or nitrogen and suffocate the little b*gger.

    GP Bikes - Extremely slow shipping and delivery

    In my job as a warehouse manager whenever I would see label created but not shipped it usually meant that the parcel was given to the wrong courier who would then hold it for a week or so to make the other courier look bad. After about a week they would return it to my warehouse and we would...

    Breaking Ties With My Family To Obtain A Motorcycle.

    Been there and done that with the family. Chose family over motorcycle. Right choice for me, I took up the riding after I moved out and had a full time job and school was finished. You realize how much a condo in Toronto will cost you plus furnishing it and the cost to feed yourself and do...

    Serious question about bike storage

    Every condo is different and have different rules. As long as you are within the lines of that parking spot and not going outside the boundary of the space provided for your unit I would ask the board to show you in writing where it says one vehicle per space only. If they can't then they have...
