Not too long ago, the typical method of storage was on a rack over the fireplace. There are millions of such implements in rural homes across the country. (BTW, I'm looking for a lever action .22)

Need pics of said butt, please. :D

I'm shocked too. I wouldn't be going that high if I had one.

A friend's widow will soon be selling his immaculate Triumph Tiger 800, fully kitted out for touring. He was a short little guy.

Put me on the list of plinkers who shoots shorts, and LRs too, and would be happy to have them.

Apart from that, and referring to the posts re. the 650. It seems to be a copy of the Triumph.

Why not a Triumph Bonneville instead?

I have a few trailers. I keep the ownerships in the house. When I'm towing one I would never leave without putting the appropriate ownership into the glove box. When I lend one the ownership always goes with it.

Power was out here for 50 hours. Lots of trees down. More freezing rain about to hit.

I walked through a Bay store today. Wasn't thinking about watches and didn't see anything like that. Lots of empty shelves. 15% off was the max throughout. Even at 50% off prices would be too high for me. For example, $100 for a pair of Levis; $129 for a Levis jean jacket. Ouch.

Plenty of salt thrown down here over the last 4 days.

Baltic make really nice watches at really good prices. Polish roots. Citizen and Timex are making some very nice affordable watches these days, well within your budget.

Looks like Timex has jumped onto the carbon fibre bandwagon. https://timex.ca/products/deepwater-reef-200-xcf-43mm-synthetic-rubber-strap-watch-tw2y02200

Before they changed ownership, I drove 4 hours to Wolf to see a bike that was misleadingly advertised with a pic of a different bike.

I have one. I like it. I found that installing the pinlock stresses the visor outward, reducing the friction on the hinge. I put a couple of drops of the included silicone hinge lube into the joints, diligently following the maker's recommendation. That combination made it difficult to keep it...
