Do you have a link to your Thailand trip? I`ve been looking at a Retirement Visa there and been speaking with a member of another bike forum who made the jump from California to Thailand, with his wife about 15 years ago. I meet the qualification for the Visa, but it`s obviously a big step on...

Like every politician, insurance co.`s will do what works for their benefit, and will F you over for every dime. Straight to Hell with them all.

I`m sure that I`ve seen all of Scarborough being tested here in Lindsay. There`s a lotta` miles on those Corollas.

I`m 68 and retired for 10 years now, my perspective is different. Seems everyone is plan, plan, plan. Don`t forget to live in the here and now though, buy that nice car or bike, take a big tour or cruise vacation. I`m not sure if I`ve mentioned here about a friend`s dad who worked over 30 years...

You must have really good money management skill, I`ve read and heard economists and financial planners say it (probably now ) is well into the 300K range. They must have been sick of No Name mac & cheese and hot dogs. :p

Sometimes things got a bit sideways though as a kid. I saw a 12 year old dude get a target arrow stuck in his face, below the eye, playing in a park. He was OK though. We were on a farm taking turns shooting at a rusty old 50`s Chevy using a .303, when one of our group popped up from behind it...

I have married with kids friends, and their kids are adults, say the guys with all the money are single, I know two other guys in my situation. Peace of mind is the big thing though.

I very seldom see kids outside here, if they are the parent(s) are with them. Inside buried face first in a screen otherwise, sad.. I played with .22 rifles, lawn darts, firecrackers, playing around creeks and rivers, racing bicycles or Honda SL70`s and Yamaha Mini-Enduros with friends. We went...

Longtime S.I.N.K. cardholder here, it worked out well.

The easiest way is to jack up the gas cap and slip an R1 under it. The OP comes across like the classic " squid ". Wanna` impress people, put your stock exhaust back on, fit suitable tires and take something like the VRRA race school. I can`t condone "racing" on the street, the only people...

C`mon in.. Welcome. Your choice of bikes should be OK, non-intimidating with easy to access power, not too heavy with low seat heights. Do a quick look around pre rides, fluid levels, tire pressure and condition, any leaks, brake wear, chain, battery etc., they`re all quick to do and you get to...

Back when teenage guys were " reading " Playboy or Penthouse, Trudeau was " reading " that. ;)

And before that it was Nelson`s, owned by John Nelson who got Shannonville going. I bought my first bike there, beautiful red CB 350F in June `73. Used to hang around there a lot, great shop, run by good guys heavily into racing. Anyone know what happened to Stan Forrest, English guy who sold...

I`ve just started " My Next Breath " by Jeremy Renner. His memoir of his Jan. `23 accident, getting run over by his 14000 LB. Snowcat he was operating at his Tahoe property. He screwed up and paid the price. He chronicles the incident, rescue, treatment and rehab. Horrific injuries, 38 broken...

That sounds just like the phase that H-D went through, not all that long ago selling bikes. Kinda` apples/oranges comparo, a bit ironic.

I read that some Team Obsolete bikes will be on track. Ex Pasolini Benelli 350/4, Ago`s MV 500 triple and Ex factory HD XR 750. The MV and Harley are worth going alone, I`ve seen them a few times. Wonder if the RC166, 250 Honda six will show? I`ve seen it go at Mosport and Laguna Seca...stunning.

I know the name, don`t recall which CW I saw him. East, West or the shorter lived North store, N side of Steeles, just W of Yonge.

Not certain about other brands, but H-D Financial offers rates at 12.19% to 13.19% over 96 months, depending on your credit score and purchase of the extended service plan. They have $5B in loans out there now,...WT ever loving F ? That could give service departments a go for the money.

Kawasaki is offering a 5 Grand cash credit on those if you take their financing. Maybe a bit before their time or they just want to unload a turd no one wants.

There`s some good reading over on www.advrider.com It`s certainly an interesting process, who knows if pizza/golf guy can do better. H-D soon has a new 6 grand Sprint model coming, will it improve things or will it remain nailed to the sales floor like the Street series did? Or the Pan-Am...
