    Motorcycle rack to mount on car

    Perhaps with an F-350+ tow vehicle, but it doesn't magically make your average vehicle capable of a 1200 lb tongue weight.

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    Something seems off with this ad. Absolutely no details in the ad like a typical dealer listing and the phone number comes back as Kustom Trim Works, not a dealer number. Listed by owner but the only photos are still on the showroom floor with the plastic still on the seat.

    Buddy wants to start his own MC club. What could go wrong?

    I have a feeling that the conviction of those three bikers does not end this saga for that poor guy. He had no idea the hornets nest he was stirring up.

    Yamaha T700 and KTM 790 Adventure

    The 790 Adventure has the hugger front fender, lower grade suspension, and lower 2-piece seat. The 790 Adventure R gets the high off-road fender, beefier fully adjustable suspension with more travel, tires slanted more for off-road use, and a slightly taller single-piece seat. It's now on the...

    Eicma 2018

    Was really hoping to see some good news about the Yamaha Tenere 700. They've been showing it for a couple years already. In fact, this is it's third appearance at EIMCA. They finally gave a release date ... mid-2020 for N.A. WTF! Very disappointed. Might have to take a closer look at the...

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    I just took a quick browse of their kijiji store: https://www.kijiji.ca/o-cycle-world-superstore/1006098435/1?referral=organic By the looks of it, virtually everything they have listed belongs in this thread. 2014 CBR125R @ $3,500 - isn't that almost brand new price? 2012 CBR600RRA @ $10,000 - 7...

    Motorcycle rack to mount on car

    That video / guy is funny. He thinks that because he installed a Class III hitch, which is capable of carrying 600 lbs, that the 300 lb tongue weight limitation of the vehicle no longer matters. He has grossly exceeded the capabilities of that Sante Fe.

    https://www.kijiji.ca/v-sport-bikes/city-of-toronto/2007-suzuki-sv650/1393835191?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true 2007 SV650S with 44k kms @ $5999. Few things: 1. The one and only photo is terrible. 2. It's cycle World Superstore, so a good chance it's a US bike. 3. That's about double what...

    can someone fit this engine into my cb550?

    Wouldn't be the first time someone shoehorned one of these engines into a bike (perhaps not as big as the one in the kijiji link). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJPzPOKshQA

    Stocks

    I'll be honest; I've been pretty lax about monitoring my "investments". I have the standard bank offered RRSP's, TFSA's, and RESP's, which seem to have pretty bad returns. Looks like they're mostly invested in bond markets. Two young kids doesn't leave me with a lot of free time to research...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    I cannot fathom how DRZ 400's hold their value. $4100 for a 10+ year old single-cylinder budget dual sport that looks like it's seen better days despite the farkles, simply blows my mind. I just don't get it. Cutting edge SS bikes of that vintage are lucky to get that much and had much higher...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    +3. If you want to haggle over the price of the bike based on things pertaining to the bike itself (condition, etc.), fine. But if you want me to knock some dollars off to cover your gas money, I suggest you look closer to home.

    MotoGP 2018

    Could I trouble someone to send me a link to download the race? I've missed about the last 6 weeks so if the links are different to get the older races, I wouldn't mind those too please. Thanks.

    Having 2 bikes (SS + Standard) for the street?

    So instead of spending money upgrading the suspension on the FZ07 to make it what he wants, you're suggesting selling it, buying a SS, and then spending money to make it what he wants. On the SS, replacement comfy seats will easily be a few hundred. Bar conversion will easily be $500 if you do...

    Where to buy MP3's?

    hdtracks looks like mostly older content. 7digital looks promising though, as I see some 2018 album releases. I'll check for restrictions. Thanks.

    Where to buy MP3's?

    Google Play store does not allow you to copy or move the music off your device, at least not that I can find. My wife has basically filled her phone with music downloaded from the Google Play store, and I haven't figured out how to offload it to my NAS. It used to be possible, but apparently...

    Where to buy MP3's?

    I'm looking for a legal site to purchase MP3's. I want to be able to purchase the MP3's and place them on my NAS so I can stream them to any device in my home, and occasionally move them to a device to take with me when out for a ride. I'm not interested in subscription / streaming services...

    Thinking of buying a LARGE car....

    A brand new Kia Sedona mini-van starts at $28,495, and you get new vehicle financing rates. The price can climb pretty fast as you climb the feature ladder. It's been the same design for a couple years now, so you can find a decently loaded low-mileage used one for under 30g's. They're...

    Abandoned SV650? Alpinestar Logo on Swingarm

    I tore my Achilles tendon and have been in a cast for 8 weeks. 2 more to go, then rehab. Hope my bike is still parked where I left it when I'm we'll enough to ride again.

    Anyone want to ride the TCAT with me?

    The TCAT really interests me, but it's not in the cards this year. Too many other things on the go. I hope you post a review of your trip afterwards because I'd love to hear some real feedback about the TCAT.
