Once you start prioritizing passenger comfort, you’re going to be compromising performance and ‘fun’, although any bike is fun. Stick a passenger on the back of a Gold Wing, Tour Glide or BMW RT for a day; they’ll love you for it but you’ll spoil them for anything else! I’d never want to take a...

Overly ambitious.

When I’m on my Yamaha, Harley riders don’t wave at me. When I’m on my Harley, I wave or nod at everybody. Except Yamahas.

Because people buy drugs with cash money.

I retired, sold my house, put away some cash, bought a big older well-maintained condo in a quiet neighbourhood after doing much research. I’m quite happy. I can lock the door and travel, and they let me park 2 motorcycles in the underground (that was one of my absolutes) and wash my car out...

I totally get model building and I have a buddy who flies r/c helicopters (switched over from planes) and has a share in a real airplane. I even understand the high costs of many hobbies (motorcycles anyone?) What I don’t get is building a model that’s too bloody big to put on display at home...

I retired last June at 58. I’m not wealthy but I’m rich because i have everything I want and need (2 bikes, yay!), no debt, smart investments, and I never have to work again if I don’t want to. Kid just finished university with a bright future so no worries about him. He takes care of my place...

I bought myself a Yamaha XSR700 and it’s waaaay more fun than my Harley! I didn’t even ride my Dyna this summer. But to me, the Super Glide is one of the most beautiful bikes ever made and I don’t think I could part with it.

For the record, I own a Dyna Superglide which I love dearly. I go into the dealership only to order parts and I usually know the specific part # when I walk in. I’m not even interested in anything on the floor anymore. Rows of $30-$40k motorcycles. They’ve turned themselves into an aspirational...

I retired this summer. 58 and wanted out before I turned 60. The prospect of teleworking helped me decide. No debt, owned property, grown up kid, no worries. Bought a second motorcycle as a retirement gift, since I can’t travel, I ride. A lot. Bicycle too. Pandemic aside, my eventual plans are...

I just found this thread. My dad bought a brand new 1964 Honda 90 for himself as a 30th birthday gift. I vaguely remember it but I do know it was black and looked like what you are building. For all we know, yours may have been his old bike! I have no surviving pictures of this bike. It was the...

I just put Pirelli Scorpion STR’s on my XSR700 (as well as a skid plate). Great tires for exactly what you want.

Sayal electronics warehouse. They have all sorts of crimpers. A few locations in GTA

I just ordered a set of luggage racks & panniers for my XSR700 this afternoon. I’ve been riding around with a knapsack for a month now and it sucks. I’m used to the huge bags on my Harley. I believe in the saying: ‘Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it’. Tools, flat...

Pro ball players play literally hundreds of games without crowds before they get to the majors so I don’t think it’s an issue for them. Watching the Jays in Buffalo. They did a nice job with the ballpark. Cheering on the Cardboard Cutouts!!

They were doing this in South Korea a couple months ago. It was weird but a baseball fix nonetheless. At least they added cute live cheerleaders in masks. My son is ******. He made the Vaughan Senior AAA team this year- season cancelled. He took up golf instead.

Ummm... they do. People paid couple hundred bucks for each of those personalized cut outs.

I agree with this article. I love motorcycles and I love riding motorcycles and I hope to continue to do so as long as I am able to. I even like the sound of a loud motorcycle - sometimes! There’s too many inconsiderate show offs out there. The fact is; it’s pissing people off. Especially...

Weird, disporportioned; probably make you crap your pants riding it!

As I said in my original post, I have no problem wearing a mask into the store while I shop. But I expect them to be wearing them too. They are dealing with the public and who knows what they’ve been exposed to all day. My office is closed to the public. We sanitize all the time and physically...
