Firstly, I don’t get your disdain for the GSes. I love them. But then a lot of people don’t like the 14 Multistrada, and I bought one and think it’s gorgeous. For people shopping in the 2-3K price range, Ohlins may not be the deciding factor. That $1000 - a full 50% more - just might be...

I don’t know… that Kawi has a certain charm for me. I think it would grow on me. Especially at $2K. The Multistrada of that vintage on the other hand - don’t think I could ever come around to it.

2007 Kawasaki versys - CA$2,000 - 60K km (I do wish posts would include a few details because it sucks when the listing goes away and you don't know what people were talking about)...

I wouldn't put any money in accessories for a bike I'm actively trying to sell. As is said so often here, accessories aren't going to bring back much - if anything - on resale.

Pretty sure it’s the same bike, years notwithstanding - mileage, equipment, description of owner down to description of luggage being in original boxes. Everything lines up with what I posted earlier. Bike was in Petrolia so not far from London. Seller told me it was a 2011. To be fair the...

We're thinking of the same guy. Here's his LinkedIn page which was how I connected with him. Goes by "Chicago Brick" on LI but I knew him also as "Chicago Mike". https://www.linkedin.com/in/chicago-brick-34192880

I believe if the ship-to location is Canada or US it says they cannot ship there. I did try Brazil and that was accepted. I assume it’s something to do with exposure to prosecution in different jurisdictions. I will say if Aliexpress is giving individual sellers access to buyer search...

I’ve used a guy in Whitby or Oshawa that a sales guy at GP pointed me to. His handle is “Chicago brick” on LinkedIn. I think that was the only way I was able to connect with him. No website I was able to find. He worked out of his garage. I was able to see him the day I called and have the...

Most of the bikes they have listed do have misspellings. "Yamahas R1" "Hondar CRF250R" "Kawasak KX450" "Kawasakis Ninjas ZX-10R" "Yamahaa YZ250" "Kawa KLR650" "K-T-M 150XC" "Can--AM Maverick" etc. I guess the only legit bike is this one: 2021 Kawasaki Sportbike Motorcycle NINJA 400 BASE...

Or, "Who wants to buy a Ducati on AliExpress"? Still having trouble understanding what this is about... but if anyone wanted to bite... I'd consider one hell of a gamble and road trip. Or not. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006991653461.html

Haven't listened to the whole podcast, so I don't know if they talk about the following or not. There's a nice space that would be nice for working (I can work from home, but prefer to work somewhere like Starbucks to be out of the house), and a space where you can work on your bike. The full...

Do you have a recommendation for one that can handle hot staples? The descriptions for all the flush cutters I could find online point to cutting small gauge wires. The only tool "flush cutter" I could find near my cottage was the Canadian Tire Maximum Flush cutters. It claims to cut flush...

I tried some epoxy at first, and let it sit for a couple of weeks as I was out of town. Came back and everything pretty much fell apart after a little pressure. This time I used Permatex plastic welder instead of epoxy. Then when it felt like it was starting to cure, I got to work with the...

Unfortunately what I was working on repairing this go-round were the hand guards on my Multistrada. Don't want those things catching my hands or gloves by accident. When I get better, I'll take a look at a crack in the fairing.

Interesting! The videos I saw all had guys trying to grind them off with rotary tools.I'm going to take a closer look at the staples and more importantly, try twisting them. Now off to look something I can sink some staples into.

Just got one and trying to repair some plastics. It works great but how do people deal with the removing the protruding ends after? I was hoping to use a nipper to get close but none of the ones I could find can really get flush. I’ve tried a grinding stone on a drill which takes a long...

Kevin O’Leary’s wife says what?

I went out and looked at the bike months ago. I mentioned this bike somewhere here on the forum. Seller had contacted me on a Ducati forum. The bike was throwing DES codes, had 12 year old tires and the owner had JB welded (or something) either the coolant or oil drain bolt. I didn't want to...

First, my feeling is that $5200 is pretty expensive for a 2017 R3, but I haven't checked the market so I could be wrong. Second, try a few different companies and have them quote for a few different bikes. When I had my M2 I called maybe a dozen brokers. I was told by a few brokers that...

Thanks @GreyGhost for the reply. I also wouldn't carry naloxone outside the house and certainly not on my bike. I live in downtown Toronto, am very familiar with neighbourhoods where you might expect a lot users, and I'm sorry but I'm not going near someone OD'ing. I'm not risking getting...
