    The $80,000 Honda?

    Definitely priced for the good ol days crowd and everyone reliving their youth. I've owned both and I agree I'm faster on the 450 but in terms of smiles per mile the 500 wins. Prices on these classic 2T's are high but as the nostalgia crowd grow older the prices will fall.

    TV shows currently watching

    My wife watches this. I've seen an episode and it's pretty soapy. Just finished up 1883 and it was ok.

    More trouble in snowmobile land

    I feel this is the best thing that could have happened to AC given their position. I don't see a good picture for North American snowmobile sales but they'll likely focus more on the SXS/ATV/UTV sales.

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    I went the opposite way. I had two and sold the smaller one. Sure it'll use more gas when I haul the larger one but it's one less thing to store (I like to keep mine inside) and one less thing to do maintenance on.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Coolant change on the 300. It looked ok but had some crystals on the bottom of the cap this Spring and was definitely due (original 2018 coolant). Also confirmed the original battery is pooched but found the oem Skyrich one is currently on sale at Royal for $98 so ordered one.

    That looks like a perfect ride.

    TV shows currently watching

    Yes. Oh look here they come......there they go.....here they come....there they go (I can think of a lot better things to do than watch cars go around in a circle for 3-4hrs).

    Man scammed by a fake certified cheque, lost polaris slingshot

    My wife said the same thing yesterday. She's been selling off some wardrobe the past few months and commented about the amount of people that show up and give the "I'm here" message then sit there. I've been purging house items as well and had a couple dozen sales this past winter and about half...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Any tips on changing fluid in a hydro clutch (KTM 300XC)? This will be my first time doing so. Manual says to reverse-fill using a syringe so I bought one and will give it a shot. It just says to slowly push oil through and watch for any bubbles to disappear in the master. I do have a vacuum...

    What is your Budget for a Bargain Find?

    Agreed. It's not a bargain price if no one else wants it. If it's well-under market price and is a desirable machine then it's worth striking on.

    Who's still riding? (Fall & Winter 2024 Edition)

    Got my fill of ~400km of twisties yesterday. Most of the roads are clean. Secondary roads are pretty soft and pretty much anything with no winter maintenance isn’t passable yet. This was an easy road in nice shape but after slugging 20min down the southern unmaintained portion of Old Hastings Rd...

    "Seemed like a good idea at the time."

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    I would normally get the biggest one I could find as well but when I bought my new Stihl a couple years ago I bought the correct saw for the job and my future. I'm plenty strong now but I still don't need a huge heavy saw for medium work nor will I like that saw in 20yrs when I'm that much...

    Recent movies you saw - recommend or no

    Rewatched “As Good As It Gets”. I forgot how good that movie is. My wife commented that I like it because he says out loud what every man thinks but doesn’t say. She’s not wrong.
