    Do you have a rare or collectible motorcycle ?

    Not yet old, and not collectible because it's not stock. But a little bit on the scarce side - early 80's SR500.

    Jap thumper advice please

    Jaaaa... so maybe I should come back to this fred and tell how it all worked out... There was actually some pretty good advice here that got me thinking. Like this: The 1PPP thesis (1 pot per person) - deep down I know that's true. That kind of turned a corner in my brain and made me rethink...

    XT 600 pricing

    Well ooked after / little dirt - I'm guessing both are true. So it would be an ok deal but no bargain.

    XT 600 pricing

    Just looking for some guidance on a fair price for an XT600 E, to anyone who knows the market... These bikes are difficult to value because so few of them are sold nowadays. And checking old ads gives an idea of what was asked, not what was paid. So, it's a 2003, around 35,000 k's. Bike is...

    BMW Boots - an "I screwed up" sale

    I bought a pair of BMW gore-tex / leather gravel boots (sight unseen) from JustBendIt who had them up for sale last week here on WD. I took a gamble that size 44 would fit me, turn out it didn't - boots are too small. So here they are for sale again, in George. Condition is good - they're...

    Kill Switch, who uses it?

    Are you guys crazy? Everyone knows that the right way stop the engine is put bike in first gear, idle, then drop the clutch.  :lol8: :lol8: I've never in all my life heard of anyone using a side-stand to kill the engine, until now. Or even thought of it. Live and learn... I think that video...

    Jap thumper advice please

    Question here - I've got a DL650 (AKA VStrom). It's my first twin -  I came to that bike by way of XT500 + another XT500 + SR500 + KTM640SM + XR650R (dirt) + another XR650R (supermotard). So there's thumpers in my blood. So, the Vstrom does EXACTLY what I want it do - which is 2-up day trips...
