    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    WHOA!!! I thought it said $500! I was thinking for 500 that's not bad, but exactly how fast a 150cc honda 4 stroke with a centrifugal clutch could be is subject to interpretation. I don't think it's bad looking, but I fondly recall the ads with Ricardo Montelban rolling his r's saying...

    Leather vest - do’s and dont’s ???

    Putting the SOA patch on the back invites unpleasant interactions from lots of different people/perspectives for as many reasons, though none of them are worth much. I prefer no logo at all, but you could consider a big winged logo of the brand of MC you favor, or your favorite band as was done...

    That was a really good explanation of what took place, at least I guess it was. The media was speculating yesterday that a cartel is hiding him somewhere in Mexico. I think it's more likely that a cartel has disposed of him in several places in Mexico.

    Bicycle carrier

    Google: https://www.2x2cycles.com/ Probably not cheap, and depending on the value of the bicycle you may not be interested in cheap, but it's a starting point.

    Anyone into gardening here?

    Rabbits will chew through the plastic mesh easily, likely just for fun. The cracked corn can attract rats, so be aware. There's a product available called Critter Ridder at Home Hardware that is a mixture of a variety of black and white peppers mixed with some sort of light oil and sand...

    Several years ago I decided I wanted to learn to play guitar. I bought a Seagull acoustic, then a Music Man super sport. Now that I'm retired and have time on my hands, I started taking lessons again. I played bass when I was young and still have my 1979 Precision, a 90's fretless Mexican Jazz...

    Is kijiji no longer a thing?

    I don't know Sweet F*&k All about the cards you're wanting to get rid of, but I had a modest collection of hockey cards that I just wanted to be rid of last spring. My collection had a handful of older cards with some moderate value, 4 Oh-Pee-Chee sets from the mid eighties (pre-junk-wax era)...

    So it's that time again....winter pasttimes?

    The expropriated airport etc. lands in North Pickering used to contain quite a number of interesting, attractive, culturally significant (for a variety of reasons) villages, houses and farms that were parts of thriving communities when the idiot government(s) stole them. Over the decades, they...

    If they're buying, restoring and selling motorcycles it's more like money shrinking, so your equation is wrong. Buying for $$$$ then selling for $ equals :mad:, and if those frowny faces are attached to blood thirsty madmen....yikes. I think his collection of racing motorcycles is more a...

    More Harley-Davidson management changes

    I wonder if in HD's case the fact that the company still exists limits the aftermarkets' ability to produce proprietary engine parts like the bushings in question. They could be a size and/or dimension unique to the evo sportster engines and that might preclude aftermarket production. Whereas...

    More Harley-Davidson management changes

    Neil Graham writes an excellent column about the MoCo. I listened to the podcast, but the article articulates the idea better. The chance of it happening is absolute zero, but it doesn't mean it's wrong. https://www.advrider.com/changing-my-mind/

    More Harley-Davidson management changes

    I agree with him that the bushing is WAAAAY overpriced and it IS gouging. But.... The price is set using a number of factors. I doubt very much that they made "millions" of them. As he said, it's likely a unique to HD sportsters part. At some point in the lifecycle of the model, HD likely...

    How long do you keep your motorcycles?

    I've only ridden it briefly, but yes it's much smoother and a far more refined/modern motorcycle. Less off road capable I expect, but then so am I nowadays.

    How long do you keep your motorcycles?

    I bought a GasGas (KTM) 700 enduro in November. I had a 2012 KTM 690 back in 2018 and always liked it so I bought a new version.

    Could be. It was several years ago. It was an absurd spectacle though.

    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    E-bikes are low hanging fruit for the cops. Nobody is gonna crap on them for cracking down. Unlike the protestors, ebikes don't have proponents/defenders inside or outside of government at multiple levels. I expect the impounding action though to be a gong show. A few years ago I saw the cops...
