Dave here, former owner of your CB550K and regretful seller! In my experience they charge the GST/ PST at least. If you ship Purolator they take a lung as well for "brokerage fees". Fedex is starting to charge some nasty fees as well. When I brought a spare BMW bike engine over the border from...

Re: FOR SALE: 1974 HONDA CB/CL450 CAFE-SPEEDSTER in CHICAGO If all goes well I may be able to make you an offer! Just have to see what a new fridge costs first!

Re: FOR SALE: 1974 HONDA CB/CL450 CAFE-SPEEDSTER in CHICAGO Let us know when it gets put up on fleebay.

Re: FOR SALE: 1974 HONDA CB/CL450 CAFE-SPEEDSTER in CHICAGO This is the NICEST Honda Caff I've EVER seen. And I've seen a few, though admittedly, not all! Looking at this bike I can't think of single detail that I'd change. Maybe a heat shield for those pipes; maybe. Perhaps an aluminum...

Re: FOR SALE: 1974 HONDA CB/CL450 CAFE-SPEEDSTER in CHICAGO I can't believe that this smokin' caff is still available! The seat is awesome, the tank is in beautiful shape, the wheels and rubber is awesome as well. I am sorely tempted............a bit far away for me though.

Rode one last year, it was a hoot! ABS, traction control, stability control, comfy, fast, AWESOME! You'd think I sold them or something..........felt weird on a high camber road, wanted to drift to the right. Tires are exclusive and expensive, but hey, if they provide snows, you could ride year...

I was supposed to go down to PD13 myself, but cancelled at the last minute to take part in some cheesy company-paid-for training instead. I can attest PD13 being a human zoo as well! Last year there was a real old dude wearing a leather thong, once you see something like that long term therapy...

Damn, the NS is now SOLD! My bud and I loaded it to a trailer for the (LONG) trip to Cornwall from Shanty Bay.

The RHD drive thing isn't a big deal for the gubmit, it's the age of the car. That, and we share the majority of our FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards) with the USA, making the importation of a car from the USA MUCH easier, relatively speaking.

RHD? Sweet! Don't know how the Feds will take to that, but he'd better look into the details very closely.

Have you tried www.beemerboneyard.com ? I was able to get a few parts for my K75 from them. They have a constantly changing inventory for panniers and top boxes for many models of BMW. I hear the stock ones are still available from BMW, that may be possible for you, depending on the depth of...

D@mmit! I have to watch these forums more often...............can't wait t see the pix!

Hey Ali: Those look MIGHTY sweet. I'll take 'em! Drop me an email at; dave_tracey@hcm.honda.com I can do a Paypal transfer if you like. Cheers, DT

Yeah, nice bed. I like the Hoosier in the background too.

It's at Ajax Mazda, and it's an 05, my fat fingers must've hit the "6" key! http://www.trader.ca/powerpage/details.aspx?vlotid=1098036&adid=6496438 Heads up on the potential US trip; BMW USA are being absolute scumb@gs about the recall & conforming discharge letters, charging OVER $1000...
