Best to check if Canadian Tire's pumps have old stickers. I noticed that all their pumps in Mississauga had them removed late last year.

Prepped my bike for winter rides back in the '70s when at 16 yrs old I had to go to my gas bar job every day after school for $1.75/hr. I used my Yamaha 250 Enduro all the 12 mos of the year and it never let me down. Learned to watch for icy road conditions in that time. No fancy electronics...

Thanks to all.

Newly acquired older Kawasaki that someone sprayed with flat black that I need to remove . Can anyone recommend a decent rattle can paint that has a good amount of gloss and is oil/gas resistant? Thanks

I watched him ride probably the most unstable bike in history being the '72 Kawasaki H@ aka. the Widowmaker. He took it easy on those California sea-side neighbourhoods... (y)

Some have some wicked engines for instance a buddy had a Yamaha sled with a factory R1 engine. He described the speed it put out and it sounded scary so I wonder if the insurance companies have found another source to screw owners over.

Weren't they last on Wolfdale Rd in Mississauga ?

I wonder what those prices would equate today?

This is one of the best topic threads I have seen here. Does anyone recall the name of the Suzuki dealership that was situated on the west side of Mavis Rd, about 1 km south of Burnhamthorpe Rd in Mississauga ? They were set up in the mid'80s but only stayed in business for a few years.

I'm ending my search for a used GSX-R after receiving the following 2023 updated Blacklist from an Insurer: -GSX-R -CBR/F4i/RR -YZF R6 and R1 -ZXR -T675 Also a statement that most insurers cannot even provide coverage but for the few that might, the costs are extreme, 5+ yrs of continuous prior...

My Buddy had bought the same bike from CW in 1972 and got too scared on it so offered it to my brother who let me know of it. It had a really nice rich factory blue paint that was a bit of an anomaly from other H2's that seemed lighter in colour. Sold it in favour of a '74 H2 which was...

Still trying to hunt down two more bikes to buy while prices are good. Came across a few that all need carb rebuilds due to past storage issues. I can't understand why more folks don't stabilize the fuel or better, just reach under and drain each carb before storage.

Wow, I grew up a few minutes away from his shop.

Yup, did a lot of biz with them. Great service.

It was Gunther Cycle. Only Yamaha's in their inventory. In 1972 I had a DT250 Enduro and the parts guy was a total prick when it came to buying parts for it I was still sad to see if close however.

I took a chance on a '79 CB750 that was residing on the 2nd level of a barn in Milton, the 1st level being where the cattle stayed at night. The bike was a low miler but the cows gave off an unbelieve stench along with heavy air laden moisture that every metal surface on the bike had a patina...

Waiting for this one: '- can deliver but my Buddy has my white van in some Toronto condo parking basement tonight'

-'not in a hurry to sell' -'don't know the mileage or model name' -'can't find the ownership but will mail it to you when I do' -'ran the last time before I put it away a few years ago' -'can't start it for you cuz it's in storage' -'sorry that's all the pictures I have of it' -'my buddy can...

Hmm, no mention of loading up the racks in the dish washer.

Stainless. It's off a 20yr old bike but will try a few options as suggested . Someone applied a few coats of aluminum paint to a similar one after smoothing down the edges. He said it looked only acceptable...lol
