How complicated is buying a motorcycle from a Canadian dealership if I live in the U.S.?

Posted on September 12, 2011 by

I live in upstate PA, not too incredibly far away from Niagra Falls. There’s an awesome 2010 Hayabusa that I want for sale at a Canadian dealership across the border, and it’s not going to be on sale in the U.S. for a long time, if ever. What would be the procedure for this, and how difficult would it be?

What kind of motorcycle would be good for me?

Posted on September 12, 2011 by

I may get a motorcycle sometime in the distant future. My boyfriend has one and I think it would be fun if we were able to ride together. However I don’t know if I’m big enough to ride anything that would even qualify as a motorcycle. I am 5’4 and about 110 pounds. Any suggestions about what would be good for me?

Is it possible to buy a working motorcycle for less than $500 in Australia?

Posted on September 11, 2011 by

I want to buy a motorcycle purely to learn to ride, not for commuting or week end bashes or anything, and I don’t want to spend lots of money.
It can be really bad, just as long as it goes, and has gears.
Is it possible to find a bike this cheap for sale in Australia, and if so, where can I find a website/contact details of a person who will sell it to me?

Do people who drive scooters have the right to do the motorcycle wave?

Posted on September 11, 2011 by

I drive a scooter and motorcyclists wave to me, but I think it might be them thinking I drive a motorcycle as well until they get closer. Should I wave back? And should I just plan to wave to other motorcyclists?
