I`m interested in what the re-born Sporty will be. It could potentially be a fun bike, I`ve ridden a few stage one or hot-rodded 883`s and 1200`s that were a blast. Will H-D stick with the slammed rear end, tiny tank, pegs in front of the engine etc. or deliver a proper roadster?
Maybe when BMW Motorrad and Ducati get sold off to Bajaj or other Indian companies, H-D can hook up with them. :p The Street series tanked quickly, the Livewire is pretty much fried, bad pun, and even the Pan-Am`s are sneered at by the faithful. The Bronx may have had a chance and I`d bet this...
My neighbor, retired from 40 years in construction in the GTA and Boston cautions... "stay the hell away from condos". A couple friends in Durham got dinged for 30 grand in their big condo complex, as did all owners when their huge parking lot and walkway system needed replacing, paved and...
Were you there, I was, at the first WSBK when Falappa low sided into the bales there on the Ducati? One of the most spectacular crashes I`ve ever witnessed.
I`ve been going to Mosport/CTMP since `71. What to possibly expect....heat, wind, rain or sun, I`ve seen all in an afternoon, and a lot of walking. Even flurries on May weekends.. you`ll be OK though. Be prepared for it all. Don`t eat heavy, light sammiches, PBJ/PB and honey keep you going...
Current generation would sooner look at them on a phone. If they even want to drive. Just had the "Classics on Kent" and "Brits in the Park" here last weekend, over 200 cars. Mostly geezers and white hairs. EDIT: Local news today says it was over 500 cars and 10 thousand to 15 thousand, not...
I use Mitch and got a policy with Wawanesa for my Kawi Z900...$1193 yr. My house and car are with Desjardin,.. house... $1213 yr. valued at $700K. The dreaded Focus is $1003 yr. This is the first time I`ve ever cracked a grand for car insurance. All policies are full coverage. Always makes me go...
Dave should pack it in, same with Vince Neil. A few years ago I watched a widow just down the court I view from my deck, sell off the 4 classic cars her late husband had at the house. One by one they were driven away or left on a flatbed or on the hook. And she told me he had 2 more in storage...
I had a brief rip on one of those ATP Z1R TC`s...exciting. The Suzuki GS750 was the first Japanese bike where handling caught up to horsepower.(awesome bike btw). Bikes like the TC forced the evolution and gave us rides like the GS1000 and GPz900 Ninja, I owned both, they were great bikes.
I mentioned a while ago I can insure a `26 Hayabusa and a `26 H-D Road Glide for the same coin. Big cc and HP difference and out the door cost too . And I wouldn`t leave either outside a movie theater for a couple hours thinking it would be there when I returned.
Private sale used H-D`s can be had for a reasonable-ish price. Gotta` watch for issues with some model years that can add bucks into the purchase. Used HonYamKawSuz cruisers are a comparative bargoon. And some of them had issues too, the interwebs and owners forums are a help.
For at least 15 years, from the mid to late 70`s (remember the `76 KZ900 LTD)? and on the big 4 from Japan sold boat loads of cruisers. Their lineups were loaded with `em. Now owners are finally getting around to selling them, probably years after moving on to something else. Cruisers never...
