revrnd Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 A few years ago I only put 500 miles on the sled. Yes it sucked but I had no thoughts of selling it. Next year would be better was my thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said the same at the end of '19, wasn't a good year for me, was glad to see it gone, and thought 2020 couldn't be much worse. Damn, was I wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had snow but I wasn't really in the mood to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can accurately predict when that will happen you are good. I'm betting it has already started given the weather the past week and the slow opening of trails. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 4 years of use was able to sell it for $18,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been great for weekend warriors, nothing crazy but fun for the kids and I. For our use, I cannot see investing in more than I needed too. I think the bigger question is do you have a place to ride without the hassles to today...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manotickmike Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I sold 4 bikes this summer. Would have been crazy to keep them. One of them I quadrupled my $ on, after 6 years of ownership, including parts... I was moving, and had had my fun with them buying, refurbishing them, riding them... And then they got very occasional use as buddy bikes, backups, or vacation trips to Crown Land where there's no hassles riding. Still have my #1 bike. (KTM 300XC ) I'm literally days from studding it and riding it if the weather doesn't change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PM and our finance minister have already mentioned that Canadians have vast amounts of savings that the government must figure out how to unlock these funds. Trudeau is also investigating how to tax the equity people have in their homes. Edited January 1, 2021 by 02Sled 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I heard from Freeland speaking they want it unlocked which to me translates to government getting their hands on it long before you pass and are subject to estate/inheritance taxes. Those taxes are minimal. I have heard her allude to a tax not only on the earnings on your investments but a tax on the value of your savings. i.e. You have $100,000 in savings you hand over a % of the value of your savings to them to spend for you. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baylaker Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Sold the wife’s Yamaha viper rtx last week. We (I) rode it for 2 seasons and made money on it. Reason I say “I” is because she didn’t like it, so she rode mine. We only sold it because the new baby girl will be here in a few days or so.

Can you imagine the government taxing the money in your bank account. My god. I do say though, things are going to get interesting, especially as they 'government ' gets creative and find more ways to steal from us. These ideas are ludicrous...
