Here's my crotch rocket.  0 to 100 in 3 days

My Dad had a 81 CB900 that I would ride around with him on when I was young.  Sat in front of him.  You would be in jail if you did that now days

From Ontario Regulation 611  https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/900611

 

(3) The steering column, other steering components and the handlebars shall be inspected and tested and,

(a) the steering column, other steering components and handlebars shall not be loose in their mountings to the body and frame;

(b) no bolt or nut shall be loose or missing from a mounting;

(c) steering shaft couplings and splines shall not have excessive play;

(d) if fitted, the steering column energy absorbing section shall not be visibly damaged so as to reduce its effectiveness; and

(e) no part of the handlebar shall exceed a height of 380 millimetres above the uppermost portion of the operator’s seat when the seat is depressed by the weight of the operator.

 

380mm = 14.96 inches... So yes, you were pretty much bang on!

 

Sweet, thanks Sean!

Hey Odot, what is the height law with handle bars? 14" from the lowest part of the seat or something?

Can't wait.  Finally picked up a Harley in December after thinking about for the last 5 years.  Had it out once so far for 50km.  Are they ever slow! lol

Pm sent 

Thanks Stevie

My stove is saying there is a fault and when you turn it on to "bake" it turns the broiler on and gets super hot. I have unplugged it and plugged it back in and after that it worked fine a few times but has f'd up again. Have you ever heard of that and if so, easy fix or should I buy a new one. Its about a 5 or 6 year whirlpool.

Thanks man!

My wife tells me I was born to burn gas, trucks, boats, sleds.... gas is just an incidental cost of the enjoyment. The day I leave the boat at the dock or the sled on the trailer because of concerns over the cost of gas is they day I quit living.

Ya, no doubt, you are a wild man!

What is a tudor?

Lol still going on about 200 mile fuel stops... I must have a small tank on mine

Next year

Thanks

Poncho, do you know when the show is in Trenton this year?  I'm gonna check that one out instead of the Toronto show

This thread hurts my head to read.  I don't know how you guys can go on for so long about this. I have a 11 etec and if I've gone 100 miles, Im looking for gas.  I don't like running it down that low.  I'm sure it will go maybe 130 but no way 200 miles.  Last year riding with my buddies 2012 1200 renegade, I was 10 litres less at each stop. Mine is a short track.

Hey, I think I will sell if you want it. I am firm at $2500 tho.. I have the owners manual, original bill of sale and even the thingy that hung on the handle bars when it was in the showroom in 93 lol

Buddy has a 850 with 2500km on it no problems.  My 11 800 etec rolled past 8000 miles this winter with no issues other then the recall shit when it was new and normal wear and tear stuff

Whats wrong with white people?

I have a mint 93 550sx Im thinking of selling this spring.  $2500 All stock so it runs perfect lol

Well,  wife thinks its for me and telling her co-workers that her husband is going through a midlife crisis.  I said you just noticed.

No, its for him, but I will be sure to drive it.

So how old is he??  And do you adopt kids that are old? hahaa

Its hard to argue against that.  If you paid 40K for the truck and decided to take the zero financing and zero down and then took the 40K you were going to use to pay for it and invested it at a 10% tax efficient ROI.  You use your cash flow to make the payments.  In 84 months you would have an additional 40K or 30K after taxes.  There is little chance you will not end up ahead.  The issue is the zero% financing doesn't do much for you unless you are applying a strategy like this.

I just ordered a 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT for my son and they did not have a zero financing offer at the time so I've decided to pay it outright when it arrives in 5 or so weeks..

 You bought your kid that car??  How old is your son? Wtf did I do wrong

Yes. Very durable stuff. Better than a bug deflector. I'm looking into getting it done on my hood this spring in Oshawa at Trim Line.

Do you like them?

Not that this ad got any attention but I now have parts for sale.   1" beach bars drilled for internal wiring and stock headers with screaming eagle mufflers. Any interest let me know and I will get pics and price.

How were you able to revive a thread from 2006 Irv?  I thought all the old threads were gone once the switch in owners were made?
