Steve…. Ontario stopped issuing lic. plate stickers a few years ago. It’s current and good to go! Unfortunately the shop is still surrounded by deep snow and our road is thick with mud. It will be a while yet!

One of our club members was looking for some inexpensive tires for a bike he rarely rides. The SCI price of the DURO tires is even lower now! What Tariffs??

Douglas we're good bikes. Usually horizontal opposed twins (boxers) before BMW. They were built 5 miles from where I grew up, but closed before I was born. On my bucket list. Annoyingly, that list just gets longer.  :) 👍

I just tried going through their site. What a royal pain in the butt! There is no option to get to only 750 stuff without looking through all their junk. When I selected something into the cart, then wanted to continue shopping, I had to go all through the whole page again. Totally bogus site......
I need a good replicated seat cover and foam for the K2 seat, very disappointed in the covers and foam on the market at this point, at this place and others.....

Stu…. Search DURO and the set will come up. It is not a great site, but once I placed my order, I had them next day!

I don't know about their website but finding them on eBay is easy, not buying Duro's but dont mind surfing their store as they have nice "office workers"!!
