I don’t like high tech stuff either like fobs, abs etc. I did however have 3 Honda’s that had their linked braking system that worked flawlessly. I actually got the last year ST1300 that had the non abs linked brakes in 2007.

Sorry, I didn’t really answer your question. I never really ask myself how cheap can I buy a motorcycle, I ask how cheap can I enjoy a motorcycle. I would rather spend a little more on a bike that’s in good shape and get my money back when I sell it.

I had two bikes insured and on the road a few years back. You don’t get much of a break on insurance for the second bike. I decided it just wasn’t worth it and got rid of the second bike.

I’m seeing a lot of nice early 2000’s BMW bikes for well under $5000. Sellers are usually well heeled , older riders that maintained them and stored them properly. There’s something that’s so cool about a mint 20 plus year old bike. They may actually increase in value in the next few years. I...

I have a friend that went from a Gold Wing to a KLR and loves it.

I had a buddy years ago that had tons of cash that he was always trying to hide from the government and he was literally running out places in his house to put. He was always worried about a break in and. safes are too obvious. Someone advised him to get a CAA membership with one of the benefits...

Best decade ever!

I’ve also got a 14 year old Honda EU2000 that I use for work. I don’t know how many hours are on it but it has performed flawlessly with nothing but oil changes. I got bored one evening early in January and decided to rip it apart to adjust the valves and replace the spark plug(original) which...

First time I’ve heard anyone use the words sight,see and Manitoba in the same sentence.

What happens if you roll in on 1 ?

A buddy of mine rented an AirBNB in Dildo, Newfoundland last year (long story). He got a real nice 3 bedroom house overlooking the water for $1000 for the week. He wasn’t planning on going back but it was so nice he’s considering it this summer,
