@AFJ, sorry if this question sounds naive but: what goes on in these swap meets? What do people swap/sell? Is is mostly just to meet and hang out with other members? Swap parts? Sell bikes? Show them off?

First step then is to get a bike I like in good condition. Any advice on this? I assume inventory will start picking up once Spring starts but sellers might try to cash in on the Spring excitement, everybody wants to be back on the road, and I assume prices will be high and quality will be a...

Joining the discussion a bit late. I have a PHEV BMW 3 series. Love it. The misses loves it even more. It has 2 years left on the lease. When that ends I am 90% sure I will switch to full electric, or at least to an other PHEV with longer range.

I did not know about the Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Group. There's very cool bikes there! A full on retro might too much for me but I admire those who have them. Great point from a few people above that most mechanics don't see old tech as much so they aren't comfortable with it. It's making...

I hadn't heard about Ted. I just checked out their website and what a character and shop. Will have to drop by at some point.

I live in Leslieville. My current main bike is a Street Triple RS I got at GP Bikes. The not-so-old 90's or naughties bike would be more of a coffee runs and project bike. Although I have a friend in England that got himself a Ducati Sport Classic as a second ride and ended up selling his...

I have an urge to have an "old" sports bike. A 90's or naughties Fireblade, SRAD, ZXR or YZF. The cool bikes of the MTV days. Does anybody know shops that specialize in retros or restorations? Once Spring starts I will start hunting online but I expect most of the postings in places like Kijiji...

Joined. Thanks!

Is the Discord server still running? The invite posted here has expired.

Bought all my latest gear there. It will be missed.

Best wishes. Take same time off the saddle and focus on what matters, your people and you. Just went through cancer on my partner's family and it's very rough. PM me if you want to talk.

I have enough garage space to keep the bike over winter. Unless there's more to it than a trickle charger and avoiding the tires from being on cold concrete. Good point about the deposit. I will contact them tomorrow and see. They have an RS in stock but it's not my preferred colour. Let's see...

Finished my MSF with Leaning Curves today. Good school, highly recommended. Teachers were Looch and Raj, if anybody here knows them. Got some quotes for Triumph Street Triple, Ducati Monster and Yamaha MT09. I am 90% sure I am getting the Striple once I'm back from my trip in September. Quotes...

I was in a similar situation in Europe and I became the regular driver bringing my grandmother to family events because she could easily get in and out of my Nissan Juke. She barely had to bend her knees. Getting her in was a matter of walking half a meter backwards from chair to car door...

I am a 15 minute walk away from Flying Squirrel Motorcycles. I am not too interested on Royal Enfield though. Being in a weekday flushes me out, so I guess its working.

Welcome!

I got invited to that BMW demo ride in Port Perry but can't make it 😞

Shot in Toronto too. If you drive down Eastern Avenue (around Leslie) you can see the house they use for exterior scenes.

The Rehearsal is even better and Nathan For You is gold.

Do you know how I can register to hear about demo days?
