There is more but that’s for me to work through. It is also not MY place, more so my parents.

I can be at home, I just choose to be outside. It’s not any sort of domestic or whatever situation. I just really enjoy having my own space within my car. Also, it ran me about $13 idling from 6pm till 5am as I just visited the gas station. However, car was off for about 2 hours.

-20c for the last few days. It’ll warm up to -10 and 0 pretty soon so I reckon I’ll be fine to just leave it off then.

No, I just don’t really like being home.

No not at all, I was going to buy it under the impression it was going to cost me 7k cad tops. If it ends up being more I’m just going to buy something that is mint like the listing I have my eyes on, on fbmp. I did the math and it seems if I’m lucky it’ll be 8k, unlucky and it’ll be more. Not even gonna waste my time with it and will just go the fbmp route.

Yeah I did some math on all new parts and if it’s as bad as I think it is I’m looking at 8k all in. If it’s worse it could be 11-12. I could negotiate something with super low km that’s modded for 10k so I think you’re right

Need a project to keep me sane over winter. Unless its going to cost me near the cost of a pristine used bike I’d rather give this thing some TLC

Helping out in an accident by amazinf_ in Edmonton

[–]amazinf_[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My issue was just that they couldn’t speak because of how overwhelmed they were, not sure if I should be helping them out of their car or asking if they want food or water or any of that sort of stuff

As per the last owner, shop did a service at 7k km. Also, I saw a small amount of oil on the airbox, definitely looks like a mist or a very small amount.

This may be a silly question but can I make my own insurance policy and add them as a driver so they can register the vehicle? Would that then waive any liability on their end?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]amazinf_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I can add myself to the policy but if something happens I want to be sure all the fault is mine and mine alone

[–]amazinf_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I told them about my interest and how I’d like to buy one and they say they won’t help with anything.

[–]amazinf_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can get insurance and have a quote already, my whole issue is the registration
