I also found that in Arizona, there is no tax involved for motorcycle private sales.
This is a real bonus.

I didn't know of this one but just watched it. It's a lot of Steve, but also Bud. The development of the Metisse is at the core.

Indiana has annual registration. It goes by first letter of last name. I'm a "B" and everything comes due on Mar 6. All plates and reg's for all 7 of mine. If I buy mid year it's pro rated.

As for the death of ICE vehicles, don't worry it ain't going to happen in my lifetime.
May you live long and prosper 🖖 Phil
I recently read a similar article on origins of oil.

ICE banning has been broadcasted in Europe for some times now.
The mayor of Paris has been slowly but surely making life unbearable for those who want to travel in a car or a motorcycle. She (the Mayor) wants to use the Olympic Games to make permanent some of the traffic changes that will be implemented for the event.
In 2030, only individually owned electrically powered vehicles will be authorized to circulate in Paris.
Of course, whoever will get elected in 2026 may reverse the 2030 ban.
The push for this agenda gains momentum every year. The push-back will continue as well thankfully. 2030 was originally 2021. Watching how various nations have recently reacted to real world energy needs gives me hope that the ICE (and coal, LNG, oil) will continue for many more years, until alternatives that actually work can overtake and replace them.
"pleasure" vehicles, like most motorcycles, will be an easy target when these bans get traction.

extended linkage I'm not sure except this thing has no feel for 1st gear
Pretty common on worn linkage is the shift 'foot' lever striking the pork chop on the down stroke. Look for chipped paint and be sure it does not touch. Clean and lube all of it. Look for any wobbly bits. The extender will improve shifting even more, but not if it has other problems.

I'd be very inclined to keep it original. Cafe Sport is one of the nicest model variants. My Ohlins rear cost me $225. to have rebuilt at my local Duc shop.

quite interesting. My buddy Bill got a KTM 790 Duke last spring. It's very fast and sounds lovely, even with stock pipes.

I'm having a tough time understanding so bear with me.
Is anyone suggesting a rider can or could, buy ins for one bike (lets say $150 annually) and on the same policy add a bike or three, and the rate is still $150 for all? The logic being the one ridden is insured and the others not, unless you ride them? Theoretically I could crash the insured one on Monday, #2 is still insured to crash on Tuesday, and #3 on Wednesday.. and all for the same $150 premium? This makes no business sense to me. Now if the 3 in one single policy cost $450, I get it.
I have State Farm. Great rates and winter lay-up is optional. I get a small discount for multiple vehicles (bikes, cars, truck) but each has a policy. I can not imagine an Ins Co lumping my 3 bikes into the same cost as insuring one. One is a liter sport bike, one is a dual sport single, and one is a vintage. Actuarials are all over the place. What am I missing?
Winter lay-up.. I have to call and activate it. The bike is covered Except to ride. When I want to ride it I must call and reactivate it. Premiums are pro rated accordingly. I don't use it as the rates are cheap and weather is unreliable in Indiana.
@p6x What do you mean by compound rates? I couldn't find info on that, only composite rates, which I think would be more costly (to old guys) in the long term

there are a slew of 'concerts' labeled 'live at Paste Studio on the road' I've been listening to. They do a good job.

I purchased a set from a member here several years ago. I didn't install them and have decided not to. They are well made. I have Ducati Monster pegs on now, which are the same as stock MG but with rubber padding.

Docc, you sent me into a rabbit hole of alternative guitar tuning. Way back when I used to work on songs using them, I referred to everything not standard guitar tuning as open. Technically I was incorrect, but it's not really an argument of significance for me. I found the various tunings fascinating, and so many, like Makana, produce such a great sound. I gave up years ago on most of it because the memory work with standard tune was more than enough for me.
My 'Going to California' example used double drop d, which is at least part of the slack tuning Makala is using for that song. Curiosity demands I figure it out fully.
On his website they describe slack as a unique to Hawaii traditional style. He is quite talented.
