    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    $25k for that is reasonable?

    COVID and the housing market

    Yes I forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder. My buddy does Airbnb at his cottage (technically illegal) rental. He thinks I’m full of 💩 when I told him he’ll owe HST on the full value of his cottage when he sells… Back to plan A: renting to friends, family, and trusted GTAMers

    Stocks

    Oh wow...already? I know a few people that bought 5-10 shares, and they're freaking out considering how much the stock has dropped since they bought in at IPO. I still have a total of zero shares.

    LoL nice! Always good to be a part of history somewhere! Tony's is about 3/4 of the way from our cottage to the beach (so maybe 1km from our cottage, if that). Still there, still overpriced but delicious ice cream.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Same. If I had the funds I'd pick one up. Hell I'm still trying to wrangle an older MX-5 as a toy/project car, but I won't go down that rabbit hole.

    Oh man...this could be fun... https://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/neuheiten/exklusiv-naechster-mx-5-kommt-mit-elektroantrieb-bestaetigung-vom-mazda-chef/ Will need to turn on English translation...but effectively the MX-5 next gen is expected to be an EV.

    COVID and the housing market

    With currently going through the motions of taking over the parents' cottage in Wasaga, one of our thoughts is to just rent it out long term for a few years while we pay down the CG. Obviously some changes / upgrades are needed to appeal to people, but I'm doing some research on Wasaga Beach...

    I need to find more shady customers for MP renovations. I'll be happy to take cash for them and give out receipts for the work.

    COVID and the housing market

    Fair point. As to the builder comments you mention...seen that a million times. Young guys / families would buy a house to reno and flip...rinse and repeat. One house to live in, one to reno, and one to rent. Basically move through them and acquire more properties. Sadly this also allows...

    COVID and the housing market

    This place is a stone's throw from my parents' house and I see it every time I go visit them. Monster home that is in no way within the 'character' of the neighbourhood. Not sure how the hell this got approved. Good luck for 3.3M. EDIT: Fun fact, this house listed is $2k/year less on...

    FRAM Goes Bankrupt - Founder frigs off with $700 million

    Damnit…why was I born poor and with a conscience without the knack to rip others off. Seems the only people getting f$&ked are the honest ones. Meanwhile crooks make out like…well I guess…bandits.

    Bike lift capacity

    Looking to sell my lift table and cannot for the life of me find the capacity rating. No tags or marker plates anywhere. How would one get that info?

    Soon to be Harley owner?

    Good to hear that. More options / choice in any segment is always good. Sadly I’ve seen maybe 2-3 in my lifetime on the road.
