    Suit size for 5’9 175lbs?

    Re-Gear carries motorcycle gear all year long, they never put it away. They don't carry snowmobile gear any longer, last year was the last year. They never did a lot of snowmobile gear.

    Motorcycle mechanic apprenticeship for a middle-aged guy?

    I look at the 401, thousands of people going from Oshawa/Whitby to Toronto every morning. I'd rather commute the opposite direction. :D

    Motorcycle mechanic apprenticeship for a middle-aged guy?

    You would be traveling in the opposite direction of of rush hour, maybe see if you could do it part-time to get your feet wet, see if you really enjoy it. They are always hiring people I'm sure they would work with you. It would be a great training ground.

    Dealer Trade In's

    It's funny, but nobody wants to believe that we will be limited with everything this year. Not just bikes and cars but everything. I tried to order a certain model black stainless steel fridge and stove a few months ago. Depending on what your bike is worth, remember you save the tax off the new...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    I have heard that some motorcycle tire prices could increase in the spring and summer up to 30% due to prices of containers as well as production. I would not wait too long if you are in need of tires.

    Maybe they do mostly shipping. Vast amount of bike parts is not going to sell in Manitoba.

    Moto gear at Motorcycle Show

    To give some of those a sense of what it costs to run a business: My friend went to see the old Princess Auto location in Whitby, for a non-motorcycle related business. Location is OK, but not really a high traffic area, like maybe hwy 2 in Whitby. The rent was $38,000 a month. So you need to...

    Moto gear at Motorcycle Show

    Yes that's about right. Most bike shops selling gear and parts, only get around 35% off the retail price from distributors. So if an item sells for $100, the shop pays around $65 for it. I know we want to think that if they are selling something for $100 they are paying $25 for it, but that is...

    Moto gear at Motorcycle Show

    hahaha, I love it when people who have never owned a business, tell these places how they should run it. I don't know about now, but before Covid it cost the vendors a ton to set up at these shows. (cost of space, staffing, trucks for moving all stock there and back, closing their store for...
