    Sold my quick - question about process

    It's been a while since I sold a vehicle. Just wondering a couple of things: -we made the deal already but I didn't get the UVIP. Should I go get that now? Should I just take him with me to the ministry to get the whole transfer done? -He asked me to put a lower value on the bill of sale so...

    Opinions on the Honda CTX series - CTX700T, CTX1300

    Curious what the touring folk think of these models. I gave up my 6th GEN VFR and went to a Vulcan because my legs couldn't take the 'standard' position for longer rides, they would cramp up and I'd be riding down the highway with my legs dragging. I'm very happy with the Vulcan, but I just...

    Vulcan 900 - brake light issue..

    Posted on the Vulcan forum but I thought I'd reach out to the vast knowledge here.. The brake light on my Vulcan doesn't work, whether I hit the front or rear brakes. I changed the dual filiment bulb, didn't help. Someone told me they had a similar problem in their car and used a screwdriver...
