I have the uneasy feeling that someone will scoop up that bike and turn it into a cafe project. Too bad if that happens. Nice find though.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll map it out and have a closer look. Thanks!

A friend and I are planning a Thursday to Sunday trip late this month. Kingston is home base. We've done New York, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Vermont, etc. in the past. Thinking of staying in Canada this time, partly due to poor exchange rate. Any route suggestions that would fit in our...

2013 Honda CRF 250L Street Legal Dual Sport Big BoreAsking $8500. " I have over 10k in this bike not including labor. " http://www.kijiji.ca/v-dirt-bikes-motocross/oshawa-durham-region/2013-honda-crf-250l-street-legal-dual-sport-big-bore/1168906273?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true A lot of work...

Website is still showing June 24th to 25th, 2016 – Lawrence Hacking’s “GRAND PRIX DE MUD” Is this still accurate? Is this a spectator friendly event?

Pretty sure MSRP was more than 11g's in 2011. My point was that PDI and taxes are on the purchaser, so don't expect to recoup those costs.

I test rode a 2013 Tenere. Awesome bike and very well balanced, making it easy to ride. But it's heavy and I'm short, and I thought the combo might hurt me at some point, especially with a passenger increasing COG. The Africa Twin definitely looks interesting. I noticed a sold one sitting on...

As meme posted, I also base used values off of MSRP. PDI and taxes do not factor into the calculation. PDI is the penalty for buying new, and I have to pay my own taxes when I register the bike so why should I help you recoup your taxes too? My formula is to start with MSRP and deduct 20%...

I'm sure there was no insurance claim at all, otherwise the bike would be fixed, so I'm also certain the bike hasn't been officially written off. The amount of damage and cost of repair back to original condition would put it close to that category though.

That bike would probably be written off if it was an insurance claim. Things I can see = upper and lower fairing, handlebars, levers, mirror, muffler, left side foot peg and shifter. Possible other damage = seat, rear cowling, gas tank, forks, triple trees, radiator, brake rotor. It would...

The left tire track is not the correct position in all situations. That may be what they teach at various courses, and is a good baseline, but real-world situations are not always black and white. The correct lane position is the one that prevents others from encroaching on the space you need...

If I'm hanging a right and watching traffic coming from my left, I would rather have the person sneak up on my left side so I'm not taken by surprise when I start to make my move.

The right blocking position is the position that blocks people from taking space in your lane next to you. That does not always mean the left tire track or the right tire track, but the position that gets the job done for the current circumstances.

"second owner, babied since day one." - How would he know?

Are you sure it'll fit? Having never seen you I have no idea. What's the backup plan if you get there and can't squeeze into it? Edit: currently raining in Markham btw.

This plan just went from bad to worse. Subscribed for the entertainment to follow. Most likely, nothing will happen, but lets say you have some bad luck on the way home. Really bad luck. You swerve to dodge a ball that rolled out onto the street, lose control, and take out the 5-year old kid...

The Ninja 1000 is the bike Honda should have built when they updated/upgraded the VFR: http://www.autotrader.ca/a/Kawasaki/Ninja+ZX-10R/Virgil/Ontario/5_27748538_20131023172803895/?ms=motorcycles_atvs&showcpo=ShowCPO&orup=9_15_18...

True, but it shouldn't be any more challenging than the current setup like propane cylinders at service stations, and normal fuel distribution. The electricity is everywhere, but the charging stations still need to be setup. Sure, you can juice at home if you install a convenient 220V outlet...

Hydrogen fuel cell. Honda has had the FCX Clarity car for years now. I think Toyota now also has one. Fill time as fast as petrol fuel. Similar driving range. H2O exhaust. I think there are cold weather challenges, but otherwise it seems pretty promising. Not sure why it hasn't gained...

I'm a bit surprised that Tesla hasn't entered the electric bike market. Their California home turf is a pretty big market, and they probably have the most developed charging station infrastructure. Scooping up Mission Motorcycle for cheap, changing the charging connector to the Tesla variety...
