Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Just spoke with the dealer I bought my last one from. Something about Covid related production delays and demand, they're only getting 2 of the 10 they ordered. Sticker of $3800, for a tax in OTD of $4700. My 2017 was $2999 for an all in OTD piece of $3600. All of which reenforces that I'm an absolute asshat for having sold it. I might just wait till things start returning to their post- covid normal, and people start selling off the toys they bought when they had the free time to use them. Only two used ones on Kijiji Calgary, both of which are OG's. One is asking $3900 because of a custom purple paint job. The other asking $3500 because you'll never find a better maintained example.

 

Or you could buy this instead

 

Don’t tempt me with a good time!

 

It’s crazy what people are paying for them! We got ours as a leftover 2019 brand new off the showroom floor for $2700 OTD which is why I will probably never sell it.

 

That's a great deal. We get robbed up here in Canada. I just phoned another dealer who has one leftover 2020. They want $4200 OTD. I'm going to have to patiently watch the used market and make sure I don't over pay.

 

Lumber is crazy right now. I need to build a new dock, but that projects on hold until the supply chain catches up, and the prices come down.

 

If we become truck drivers we could make bank!

 

wonder if they can get robots to do it


Did you see my text for Saturday?

 

sorry about the early text. I was working overnight and didnt want to forget to ask you. I work overnight wed and thurs, then I have Fri-Sunday off

 

Got the front tire swapped. I am more excited about these tires than I was with the knobbies and I was pretty excited about those.

 

New tire day ‍♂️

 

Has anyone tried the new Battlecruise tires from Bridgestone yet. Reviews on heavy bikes looks positive.

 

Did you do them yourself? I hated doing them, such a small wheel and tire to try to hold and use for leverage

 

Yeah, it’s not terrible just takes time. Did the front in an hour taking my time. New ones are a lot stiffer than the knobbies. I may or may not have been looking into the harbor freight tire changer this morning.

 

Yeah the diablos were stiff too. Theres been a couple times i wish i had a changer but then ive never pulled the trigger

 

The spoons take longer but like you there really isn’t a need at this time. Now if I get into track days and need to swap tires every 3-5 track days then yeah it will be worth it.

 

I dont think you could wear a grom tire out even that fast, lol. I didnt have any noticeable wear on mine. Its just too slow of a bike, ha
