All you need now is a dealer that wants to cut a deal to lose money.

Referencing an article that was written by a dealership insider in the US isn’t the same as what’s happening in Canada.....or even in the US, for that matter.
Like when GM was shuttering dealerships in Ontario and they were all crying foul about how much money they invested in their dealerships and how little money they make....HA! Owning a dealership is like having a license to print money! Some of our wealthiest clients own dealerships....

These are not cars made in North America. I did not reference the article because I thought it to be accurate, I did that because if I posted your expectation that a retail dealership could sell you motorcycles at a 30% discount for one of their best selling lines was over optimistic, somebody would challenge that. How much profit margin do you guys think a Yamaha dealer makes in Canada, do you honestly think they markup 40 and 50% margins on MT 09's? <- that's not how it is, unless you are talking tires, parts, helmets and apparel.
I don't even want one but at 7k Canadian which is less then 5K US$ for a brand new MT09, put me down for 1

My group buy idea was of coarse, tongue and cheek. Don’t think anybody thinks it’s actually a possibility.
But if it was I’m still in!

Buddy give it up nobody wants your old junk, buyers are doing you a favor by getting it off your hands. I think you didn't read carefully, I will repeat it to you once again;
If there are any sellers reading this thread, get this through your heads, nobody cares if that old bike of yours was the one you met your wife with or the one your father bought you before he died, I don't care what rubbish emotional strings you attach to it, I'm going to pay you used market rates and I will apply depreciation to the fullest extent.

I know man, I didn't even know these "retirement homes" even existed until Covid-19. Who the hell drops off their old parents/grandparents like dogs in a city pound and forget about them? Really? I'm Canadian but born in a foreign country, in the old country we keep our elderly relatives till the end in our homes. I like to hear their interesting war stories at nightime you know, I also save lots of money on babysitting because they take care of my young children.
People grow some balls and keep your parents in your home, they created you, they fed you, they gave their sweat for your careers and this is how you pay them back? By dumping them like an injured French Poodle in a retirement home?
In the "old days" you didn't have both adults in a home having to work every day to pay the bills. You can't just leave an elderly family member at home alone - if that was acceptable they'd probably still be living independently.
And you probably underestimate the level of care some people need when they reach a certain age. Some people don't have the physical ability to handle this, no matter what.
BTW, a "retirement home" and a "nursing home" are two very different things. Retirement homes are like a hotel for the elderly who are still mostly self sufficient but just want to do less of the more challenging things like laundry, cooking, etc. They're insanely expensive and often very fancy. A nursing home provides care for infirm people who need care beyond what their families may be able to offer any longer due to physical or mental problems.

Alzheimers,dementia,diabetes,mobility. Not everyone can deal with these issues. Not in a safe way at least.
And changing diapers and feeding administering medications.
Does everyone from the old country have psw/rn qualifications?
