Found a loophole in the Home Depot price match system. Got these impacts for around $75 taxes in. Now to sell them on marketplace. Sold 10 last night for $150 a piece.

Nice, I had planned on picking up 3/8 fuel impact m12. Congrats

Took a trip to the bike store today, i think my sons getting that Grom- also the wife wants one we're checking too see if the toy funds allows it.
Couple pics for u guys- there's a few nice bikes up on those racks against the wall. That china 125 with tracks looks like it'd be a fun ride. The dealer says he's having a hard time keeping up with stock, says this last yr to now is the busiest he's been in a LONG time.

Cool pics of the older bikes shep......the GSXR with the stock exhaust, RC51, Pilot, etc.

We've been seriously considering a new monkey for a couple of reasons....First it would make a great little learner bike for my wife...for the street and stuff and secondly it would make a great RV dingy so to speak....put on the back of our RV. The problem around here is they are over $5000 new. I mean it's not a deal breaker but I could get some used little rebel or Honda CM/CB or something just as cool in great original shape for a third of the cost of a Monkey. Especially considering how much it's going to get really used....very minimal.

Knappy, ya the monkey bikes are $4,400 here. The groms are $3,800. Those monkey bikes are really comfy the seats are like a couch.... The grom seat feels hard as a rock or close to it (im already looking for a aftermarket seat and a better "louder" exhaust system's. My son recently started a new full time job w/benefits town job and the good pay and overtime $ plowing is burning a hole in his pocket....(he's paying cash for his grom, the second grom were putting 2grand down and the payments in his name (co-signing) so it'll start his credit scoring. Still working out the details but yes it sounds like this week we're purchasing two-a green and orange one- deposit was already left......
I think we'll have the dealer store them until spring though. Hope i/we don't regret getting these, they do look like fun though.
We know people (older than me) with monkey bikes and they've been cruising everywhere on them the past few yrs. The groms are just more sporty looking. I keep hearing gas prices will hit an all time high this summer (hope not) but these things get around 200miles per gallon-ish. The wifes never ridden a dirt or streetbike and she's tippy on "three wheels" but she wants to give it a try.

^I can't believe there's so many different makes of bikes under one roof, I thought manufacturers had issues with that sort of thing? Our friends son has a Grom and to be honest I didn't even know what I was looking at as he's tricked it out so much. There's a bit of a cult following with those things I've been told. What am I doing today, absolutely FA except for indoor stuff. Sure glad I shoe horned the Dodge diesel into the shop yesterday afternoon. It will put a damper on any more painting on my jeep but it's better than ruining 2 x $200 batteries.

Have they shut down the deal yet, lol. That's a handy profit! Nice old sled Stoshu, do you go to vintage rallies at all? You must be freezing your tookies off right about now, lol.

Ugg. Old me would be riding my sled in that weather, new me would die when the first breath entered my lungs.

Starting to get back to +30C highs here this week. Still getting picked out of crowds as “The Canadian” for not wearing a jacket at 10C, but below that and I have to cover up, or I risk scratching glass with my nipples.

Transplanted an avocado tree and an orange tree yesterday

Jesus H Coolpool......that's got to be some kind of record low

I just googled your town and it looks nice.......cold but nice. When my son gets his adventure bike we may have to get up there just for fun.

Summer of course haha!

Deal is still on. Need to buy the 1/2" impact in store and price match with WM Dyck and Sons out of Niverville MB. That gets you down to $139.99. HD takes another 10% off because it's a brick and mortar. The impact comes with a free starter kit right now that you can return for about $75. Don't get too greedy. I grabbed 7 in one transaction yesterday, and the manager was flipped out. Paid $1000 but the discount was also around $1200. After he saw me leave customer service without the charger kits, he realised I had just returned them. Grabbed my arm and told me that I couldn't do that. I quickly informed him that he had just assaulted me during a pandemic, and I had every right to kick his 65 year old ass. Grabbed my cart and walked out the door as he was yelling and screaming at me. $525ish for 7 impacts is a great deal to me. Nothing illegally done. Its their return policy that needs tweaking.

Used to do lots of vintage rides. Had about 60 of them 10 years ago. Haven't ridden much the last 5 years. That old Olympic is ready to ride. Not much snow this year.

Nice Oly! We have had lots of white gold so far this season, nice because I am thinning the herd somewhat.

LOL! Whatever happened to “one per customer”?

You must have heard about Niverville’s baseball team? They never won and they Niverville.

What do you have there, a boat load of panfish? Hard to tell.

LOL, I can well imagine you would look out of place, and I agree age brings wisdom! I just walked our little "Man" dog (complete with pink sweater) and usually she's good for an hour to about -20C (~0F) without her feet bothering her; but I did 2 x 10 minute walks instead and she was in 3 wheel drive quite a bit.
