Title: My K is turning on me!
Post by: Chaos on August 25, 2015, 09:52:39 PM
First I notice the peg rubber, then the blinker.  After 28 years of crazy idiotic dependability the sh** is hitting the fan!  What's next, the dreaded oil/water pump leak or a spline job?  Thank god I have a modern dependable Ural for a back up bike.  Oh crap, that's not really a good plan.... :dunno :neener:

Just leave the bike by the side of the road and walk away. Cut your losses. Happy Uraling.

Don't forget to tell us where you parked it...   >:]

Historical plates!! :mbird  Mines not eligible for another 2 years but I am reluctant to register my K75 with historical plates  with only 50,000 kms on the clock.  It's like early pension. It doesn't seem right if you're willing and able.

Where I live here, if you put 'Historical' branded plates on a vehicle, you cannot use it as a daily driver....
They are a "restricted use" plate for special events, parades and such.........

Regular registration for a motorcycle here is only about $10 per year anyway.

Here bikes are about $40 a year to register.  Historical plates are $20 for 50 years.  There's usually a show somewhere I can pretend to be going to, but never been pulled over for it.  It's fun blowing by Harleys  then have them see the tags.

I'd be tempted as all hell to do it for the cheaper insurance if the allowable mileage on such plans was higher - I think it's something like 5000 kms per year, might even be 2000. If it were 10,000 I would probably do it, no question.

But how often do they come check your odometer? It's not like we're talking about the gas company here...

I've thought about it. I have an authentic historical plate on my '74 Buick LeSabre Luxus convertible but that doesn't get that much time on the road. I use my bike to commute just about daily to MSU though and their police force doesn't need much of a reason to pull one over

It'd get checked if I had to make an accident claim, that's for sure!
