    Blackbridge Harley

    Or a sign that they owe money to the manufacturers and can't offer warranty work anymore because the manufacturer won't refund the dealer until the dealer is all paid up. I'm not suggesting that is the case, but I know when a GTA dealer was closing a few years ago I couldn't get them to order...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    This. Along with what @Scuba Steve wrote. Talk to your insurance company to see what they have to say. If your garage is detached like mine you're ok for by-law. But okay for by-law doesn't mean your insurance won't be looking for a cop out not to pay out of there's a fire so talk to them...

    Thinking of trading my V-Strom 650XT for the new Himalayan 450 – need your thoughts!

    After working in marketing in the motorcycle industry I have seen too much of how Inside Motorcycles operates to trust anything they write about any bike. I don't know if it's the same people in charge now, but back in 2011-2014, Ad spend = positive reviews for sale over there.

    Thinking of trading my V-Strom 650XT for the new Himalayan 450 – need your thoughts!

    100%. Location and use is so, so important. I love both of my G650GS, but I hate being a BMW owner. If I wasn't doing all my long distance riding specifically in Europe, I would've gone Japanese too. BUT This summer on my third ride across Italy, I lost all power on the highway (later found...

    Thinking of trading my V-Strom 650XT for the new Himalayan 450 – need your thoughts!

    A trip that size and that remote is all the more reason to get something where international dealer supply chain is strong and plentiful, like Honda. Not sketchy and haphazard like Royal Enfield. I saw your reply to me a couple posts above. I asked why, of all the wonderful motorcycles, from...

    Thinking of trading my V-Strom 650XT for the new Himalayan 450 – need your thoughts!

    Any 650cc single enduro, dual sport, and/or ADV bike from a reputable brand is everything you need. I go German for my travels, but, there are so many options available from so many great brands👌🏻

    Motorcycle adventure riding books

    She seems to really be going for tv show length episodes. I'll watch a few episodes here and there if she's somewhere I'm interested in. Hopefully the book is better. I assume it will be as it'll have professional editors and won't be worried about playing to youtube's algorithm. Might be a case...

    Thinking of trading my V-Strom 650XT for the new Himalayan 450 – need your thoughts!

    With all of the great manufacturers out there, and all of the great models out there, and all of the kilometers that you ride, why do you want a Royal Enfield?! I can't speak much to the Himalayan, other than it's the only motorcycle that has ever had parts break off of it during it's own...

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    These people have the IQ of me when I forget to open my mouth before I sneeze so it all comes out my nose.

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    Mine would start just fine in the cold, but freeze along the way home sometimes. If anything, the more common starting issue was if I forgot to cover the bike the night before, I sometimes needed to hit the ignition key switch with a blow dryer for a while to unfreeze it.

    Interesting. Would the fact what I was on were scooters, using CVT transmissions, and auto chokes (or auto not enough chokes), basically the same setup as the Navi I think, make any difference?

    Not sure how i feel

    "I smoke weed but I don't want my kids to smoke weed." "I don't work out but I want my kids to be healthy." "I ride motorcycles but I don't want my kids to ride motorcycles." "I want to be happy, but I don't want my kids doing things that make me happy."

    I thought that was just my OCD that had me thinking "WTF is this man doing??" Maybe the camera angle gave us a better view than he had. Or Maybe he downed a six pack before getting started on the 2-4 lol

    How many CC were the bikes you were ice racing? Like I mentioned, it was never a deal with the 250ccs. The 150cc did okay. Both 50ccs were really prone to freezing and sending me home on a bus lol

    They told us that the internet would allow us to share information from all over the world that would help to better mankind. With it, we would reach new heights of understanding, and expanding on our potential. That's what the internet was made for, and this video delivered on that promise lol

    Strongly do not recommend a Navi for winter beating. As someone who's had to leave his winter beater scooter on the side of the road many winters and TTC home (I was too broke for a taxi and uber didn't exist), you will tolerate the cold temperatures much better than an air cooled carbureted...
