    New motorcycle purchase

    Do you have a trade in? Sometimes that's worth using in your negotiating. Also the trade can help you reduce some tax. My only new bike purchase was a BMW and I felt I got a pretty fair deal. If you are ordering it you may be less likely to get a deal off a floor model. Most BMW dealers are...

    Toronto to Calgary

    With that sort of range I'm sure you will be fine. Last summer I almost ran out twice. It seems all the private run stations closed up early. I too was coming from Calgary. I actually had to pay a guy $20 to open up his pumps so I could get to Thunderbay. Also with half a tank in my bike I...

    US Gas stations - pay at the pump

    Thought I would share a little trick I used last year when travelling though the states. Many gas stations in the US require you to enter your ZIP code in order to use a credit card at the pump. Without entering one you are forced to go in and either pre-pay with cash or leave your credit card...

    Sena 20 versus Sena 10

    I pre-ordered the S20 and got a pair of them in June. I was upgrading from the Scala G4 and I've never used a Sena 10 so I can not help you with a comparison to the Sena 10 but.... compared to the Scala.... My 1st pair of Scalas faiedl halfway through an inaugural trip out west riding through...

    2 Guys, 1 Bike

    That was pretty funny.. For anyone who has never ridden with bike to bike communications before it shows how much better they make riding with friends.

    Tips for knocking down price? Buying a new bike.

    I'm glad you have a plan - Lots of good reviews of Rosey Toes on this site although I've never been. If you want the enjoyment of doing stuff yourself you might want to get to know a local dealer to order specific parts or should there be a recall etc.. Perhaps this is all available with Rosey...

    Kawasaki ZRX1200?

    A lot of guys I know who have Rexes are your size. Its a big bike and upgrading to ohlins is a common upgrade. Lots of guys track their bikes... Heck its a replica of a race replica of a race bike ridden by Eddie Lawson's bike after all. RonnieRev should be along shortly he has a 12 with ohlins.

    Kawasaki ZRX1200?

    Great bike.. retro styling, plenty of mods available , great online community (ZRXOA). You can tour on it, great for two up riding and yet still fun to be a hooligan on it. I had an 1100 and I still miss it.

    Tips for knocking down price? Buying a new bike.

    Don't panic: Getting a new bike is amazing and depending on your situation it might work out fine. I figure the bike will cost you about $1000 per month to own it for 6 months and sell it.. but what an incredible 6 months. You buy the bike, ride it all season then sell it in the fall. Gas is...

    Tips for knocking down price? Buying a new bike.

    I'm not really clear if this is your first bike purchase or if its your first "new" bike purchase. Also I don't know how much of your disposable income $450/month represents. Things I do know: If you finance the bike your lender will demand full insurance coverage. Given your age the insurance...

    any bets on what this spring/summer will be like after this terrible winter?

    The road damage from this winter will be the worst we've seen in years. Be prepared for sand covered and pot hole ridden roads with clean up and repairs not completed as quickly as we would hope. Having bent a rim a few years back I will certainly be wanting to avoid that expense again and will...
