Woot!
Wokeism is nothing more than the recognition and opposition of bigotry in all its forms.  Bigots are predictably triggered.

Well done!


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Hopefully the pan is under the bike for an oil change and not because it leaks oil!  :)

ABS? Fuel injection?

That's a great price. Someone hit a deer or something?

Thanks all! No claims or anything on the Carfax! Yes I still check even on cheap vehicles. Yes I’ve been known to ride all year. Too bad I sold the Heidenau tires. I can get Anlas Winter Grip tires from the UK but the shipping isn’t cheap.

Yes I got that Amsoil 10W30 motorcycle oil and Wix filter in right away!

Do it! Lots of cheap 600s around. Also need a one or two piece zip together leather suit, and a Snell or ECE helmet to go to Castrol.

Ive put 8,000 km on my bike so far. It’s been a few places.  And there’s still 3 sane person riding months left. I put 4,000 km on my new tire so far and I think I have to start thinking of a new one by August.
