    What bike can i reasonably upgrade to next season?

    If you have sold your bike I assume you no longer carry any motorcycle insurance. Be prepared for the insurance companies to give you no credit for the time you had your 600. They will rate you as a brand new driver again since you have not had continuous insurance on a motorcycle.

    Front brake pads wont fit

    As said above take the cap off and remove some fluid. If you try to push the pistons in witht he cap on and the fluid hits the top it won't let the pistons go any further. Also put the old pads in and use something like a big screwdriver to push them apart to seat the pistons back in.

    Cop waits over an hour and a half to ticket us.

    I had an Ultra Classic and the 407 never got my plate but since it is the factory plate location and industry Canada has approved the bike for sale in Canada I don't think the cops could argue that one.
