    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    I love the new GROM! Side by side they are about the same size, Navi has that cool storage box under the gas tank though, GROM would definitely be more fun but I'm looking at it strictly as an economical move....the GROM is about 2k more, and knowing how I am and how insanely huge the...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    I've been thinking the same thing...it'll be about $30ish to fill my 17L tank with premium, and it doesn't go very far. Works out worse than my car lol. I'm seriously considering a Honda Navi as a daily, and keep my FZ8 as a weekend toy. 109cc 2L/100km on regular gas, can hit 80kmh which is good...

    Why Motorcycles Get Stuck at Traffic Lights

    Really, I wasn't aware of that. I've done it to hit the crossing button to make the light change. One time I was at an advanced turn but it didn't kick in because the sensors couldn't see my bike. The lady who pulled up behind me, bless her she stopped far back but I had to ask her to pull up...

    TV shows currently watching

    I didn't have the option on my account for a different language, could only select English subtitles. I see yours says FOX and I'm watching it on Prime, maybe they don't have the dubbed version? EDIT...just looked at it again, it's a different show than the one on FOX...

    TV shows currently watching

    The Cleaning Lady on Prime, has a se7en feel to it mixed with Spanish soap opera. It ramped up pretty quickly in the first few episodes. Pretty dark and disturbing theme to it, gore and sensitive subject matter. Without giving too much away, the main character is doing whatever she has to for...

    Motul 5100 vs 7100

    I find there is no discernable degradation in shift feel from when the oil is fresh to when its due for a change on the bikes I've had using the 7100. I haven't tried the 5100 so I can't compare, but compared to the oem oils that were in them I noticed a big difference in shifting and overall...

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    That's a whole lot of not riding your bike enough to make sure it's right for you before dropping a couple grand in mods and then trying to get someone else to fix your mistake.

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    I'm assuming that's because that's your new RAV4, and not because you procrastinated, right? [emoji16]

    Swapped the sport bike for.......

    It is bigger, all around. Still not very comfy if you are taller due to the mid mount controls and low seat, definitely for shorter riders. But it's a blast to ride...aggressive handling and the torque is addictive. The DCT is actually quite brilliant, but I still prefer manual. The 500 is a...

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    shhhh...don't need that kind of negative energy in here :p Even with the 20cm of snow coming this week, mid March is only 6 weeks away...that is soon enough for me.

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    Heard what I thought was a dirt bike ripping it up yesterday in Bolton, but then saw a CB300R with a pipe going up and down the road lol. Nice rev matched downshifts, rider! Sounded like you were having a blast. Still too cold and salty for me but hearing/seeing that made me smile, riding...

    Buying out of province

    Most won't, they like to keep the business local for future revenue. Financing through your local dealer usually drives you to service with them as well. It's a pain to work through for the dealer, but they can do it. Here in Ontario at least we can, not sure the rules in other provinces. The...

    Buying out of province

    Looks like my comments struck a bit of a nerve here. To be fair, after reading it back I wasn’t very clear, and I wasn’t exactly correct either, so I’ll try to put it all down here. Regarding our system changing the taxes, I was incorrect in saying that the dealer will charge the tax based on...

    Buying out of province

    That is incorrect. The dealership should charge the appropriate tax rate based on clients residence and where its going to be registered. If you pay local taxes then you need to pay your own provincial taxes before you can register it and apply for a refund for the tax you already paid. When...

    Buying out of province

    If you are buying new, the dealer should charge you the taxes based on your province and give you temp plate to travel with, or the NVIS for the vehicle then you register in Ontario when you return. Anytime I've sold a new vehicle to out of province that's how I've done it, but it may vary from...

    Been stuck in the same spot at 404/401 for 30 mins

    Hey, that hurts...I drive a Mazda 3 :p No problems here, it was fun pulling out (slowly but still made it) of my driveway and down the street yesterday while 3 SUVS on my street were stuck trying to get out of their driveways. Good snow tires, manual transmission, and a general disregard for...

    Cable Lube

    One of the best tools I have ever bought. Tricky to figure it out at first and avoid spraying lube all over but once you figure it out, makes it so easy to complete the job without having to remove the cables. I tried this stuff last season and it worked well for me...

    Ever find your old motorcycle for sale again?

    my old ninja 300 is on Kijiji right now, he put 5k on it. He's asking same price I sold it to him for two years ago, funny enough that was a good deal then and a better deal now compared to what others are asking for the same bike.

    Nice mods and reasonably priced...OBO, would be a great deal at 6k if he takes it. If I was looking for an mt07 I'd be all over this one. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-sport-bikes/mississauga-peel-region/2020-mt-07-for-sale/1601693122?undefined
