Like the other fellow said - trade it in. That's what I did in November with my KTM 1090R. GP had a new 2024 GasGas 700 so I inquired as to trade-in value on my 1090. The number they gave me was only about $500 less than they were listed for on Facebook and Kijiji for in Quebec so I jumped at...

Maybe you should put that on a Christmas card next year.

These guys: https://www.bristolleather.com/ Made in Montreal. I have a bristol leather jacket that I bought in 1989 at a leather shop near Pharmacy Rd. With proper care (and no road rash) it is still in excellent shape, and is repairable if required.

We go to Scenic Drive Restaurant on Highway 45 north of Cobourg for breakfast regularly, and I've been there for lunch. I've always thought of going for dinner as the menu's look good with a meat, fish or poultry option, sometimes with a local musician playing, but just never get around to it...

I met an old friend for lunch last week. I asked him for a suggestion where we could meet and sit for a while to catch up, with location being convenient for both of us, and food & drink quality being basic and not necessarily special. He suggested Perkins (!!). It's EVERYTHING I avoid when...

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...

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.

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.

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...

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)...

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...

I have 2 of them, one each for the now gone dirt bike and also gone KTM1090. I may use them on my GasGas700. They are at Fortnine: https://fortnine.ca/en/ram-mounts-handlebar-bolt-ball-with-hole-base-ram-b-367u

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...

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...

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/

Coming in late to this conversation paints a very different picture.

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...

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.
