    Your First Motorcycle Was a ............?

    It was either an '88 Yamaha DT200, or the '89 DT200R. I knew squat about bikes, and wasn't into taking pics (of anything) back then. It was the cheapest street-legal bike I could find. I vaguely recall having a friend drive me out to somewhere like Orangeville to pick it up, and I rode it home...

    DRL went bust. How to go about it?

    On my Subaru, the high beam bulbs are used on low power as the DRL's. Maybe it's the same on your bike? Best to check before you assume something's wrong and try to "fix" it.

    DRL went bust. How to go about it?

    If by OEM, you mean Yamaha, no. If you mean the actual OEM, like Hella or Osram, yes. If you don't have a heated space and are doing it in the cold and removal of any of the panels involved bending or snapping anything apart, then in order of preference: - invest in a heater to bring the...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    Fine by comparative pricing for someone looking specifically for that bike. Between those 2 listings, as a buyer I'd be making appointments to see both, but expecting to buy @mimico_polak's for the newer year and more stuff I can either sell to make back some cash, or negotiate off. Someone who...

    TV shows currently watching

    We just discovered High Potential. It's been pretty entertaining. Classified as crime/drama/mystery, but on the lighter side with a touch of comedy. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26748649/

    I would add a pic without the bags, so people can see what it looks like both ways.

    OMG, I just caught up on the last season of The Walking Dead where someone tried to use that line. :ROFLMAO::love:

    Motorcycle mistakes you only make once... and ones you make all the time...

    Yep, went through that when I rode my bike to school in the snow. Funny thing, it wasn't because of the snow that I dropped it, it was because I forgot I parked it in gear. 😅 As I sat on it wondering how I was going to get home without a clutch, it occurred to me that I could just start it in...

    While it's nice to have a spare battery or jump starter (I have multiples of both), anyone with a car can just that in a pinch - same 12 volts, and much better cranking capacity.

    Any Movement on Price

    Now is probably the worst time of the year to be buying, but best time to be selling.

    Private Sale: Bill of Sale template

    I never considered Motul before, but 7100 is on sale at Triple Clamp Moto, so I'm tempted. 10w60 is $20/L, and 10w50 is $78/4L. Is this about as good as it gets?
