    Buying gear from Europe

    DHL as well, but Canadian Customs is unpredictable - may take anything between 10 min to 10+ days. You never know. And there is nothing you can do about it. Depends on how lucky you are [emoji1]

    Buying gear from Europe

    FC Moto shipping is quite slow. My recent order took 3 week - 1 week until FC Moto shipped, 1 week to reach Canada and another week @ Customs. And I still was charged taxes. I prefer to buy from ChromeBurner now. They ship FedEx, usually same day, and arrives in 4-5 days. Yes, you pay taxes (but...

    Riding bike from seller to home

    Thanks for replies. 1. Re insurance - every time I buy a new bike from a dealership, they are able to register the bike using my existing insurance policy number from the bike I already own (GPBIKES, BWM, etc.). How? To be clear, I'm interested in liability only, just to ride the bike home. 2...

    Riding bike from seller to home

    1. Can I temporarily use the insurance of my current bike just to get home? 2. I have 2 license plates - one from the bike I've sold a month ago (which I intend to transfer to the new bike), and the other from my current bike. Which one I should put on the bike to ride it home?

    Safety certificate

    Yeah, that's why I asked. I remember reading that someone used to do safety mobile.

    Safety certificate

    Is there anybody who can come, inspect and write a safety certificate at ones home? Or such thing does not exist? Looking for a legit certificate, not just check the the bike (I can do that myself). If you know one, please, let me know!

    Buying gear from Europe

    In each invoice there is a value of goods, shipping cost and total. FedEx, DHL charges on a total sum (this is legalized robbery!). You have to call them, point out that they used the wrong number (should charge on goods value) and they will refund the difference.

    Buying gear from Europe

    That's a scam that almost all couriers (FedEx, DHL, etc.) are practicing recently! If you call them they'll refund the difference, but in most cases it's not worth the time. I did it only once, because the price of the part was like $10 (which means, there are no charges whatsoever) and the...

    Buying gear from Europe

    Agree that the best chance to avoid HST/brokerage fee is Canada Post. But... I've, probably, got extremely unlucky few years ago. Ordered very expensive jacket from Germany. It got delivered by Canada Post and I was changed not only HST and brokerage fees, but also 18% duties! Cost me over $400...

    Buying gear from Europe

    Lately with FedEx you can't avoid it. They simply don't deliver until you pay. I bought Brembo brake pads about a month ago (delivered in 4 days). 1. The shipping was 15 EURO. If I order in US, the shipping would be ~$50 and will take well over a week! Still could be dinged with taxes/brokerage...

    Buying gear from Europe

    Dealt with them a few times. Very good experience. Delivery usually in 5 days. But note, they ship FedEx, so be prepared to pay HST, brokerage fee and duties (if there is any)

    Motorcycle that I bought has a Lien

    Unfortunately, UVIP is not always up-to-date. Once, I bought a bike, UVIP showed lien, but the seller actually paid off the loan 5 months ago! He gave me original title release papers. By the time I was reselling the bike, UVIP was cleaned up. My concern would be the other way around. What if a...

    Ken's Motoworks' Thoughts on Ducati

    Typical GTAM thread [emoji3]. I wonder how you could deviate the thread from "Do not buy new Ducati" to car's rims, AWD, 4WD, and other totally unrelated topics...

    GPS options?

    I have Samsung Galaxy Tab Active3 Galaxy Tab Active3 (LTE) | Samsung Canada which I'm considering selling. PM me if interested. I also 3D printed a hard case for it to use on a bike.

    GPS options?

    Same with Bell. I disabled mobile data before crossing the border, didn't make any calls or send messages. There were 2 incoming calls (both spam) and I rejected them. As they cames on different days Bell charged me $26+HST even though I didn't answer these calls. I contacted Bell and was told...

    Buying gear from Europe

    Bought from Carpimoto several times. Very fast delivery and no issues, but always had to pay HST on delivery (I don't remember exactly, but they use FedEx or DHL). EDIT: one issue though. My credit card always blocks the payment to Carpimoto and I had to confirm the transaction via SMS. Don't...

    SW-Motech PRO Tank Bags

    Yes, I also noticed that the latest PRO (magnetic) system sometimes requires a bit of force to remove the bag. But not an issue so far. In case of drop/crash/accident if the locking mechanism gets damaged, most likely you won't need to fill the tank this day :). Agree, it won't hurt to clean the...
