    Alpinestars Tech Air 5 Plasma Airbag Vest

    I had randomly called them to see when they would be getting them because I couldn't find them on their website. That's when the person was like they think they just received them and lucky me, they did!

    Alpinestars Tech Air 5 Plasma Airbag Vest

    I'm 6'1", 190lbs and usually I'm a L or an XL, so I'm used to going between the two sizes. However, the Plasma, I tried the L and it was tighter than I would like, the XL fit much better, still snug but relaxed around the arms and chest area. I imagine airflow will be better as well. I've been...

    Alpinestars Tech Air 5 Plasma Airbag Vest

    GP Bikes had four size Large in stock and I picked up the last XL they had this morning. Not sure if they have any left by this weekend as the No HST sale is going on currently.

    GTA Loop

    Made a short video testing out my Insta360 X3 camera! It was made for Instagram viewing, so apologies for the vertical video if you're watching on a desktop!

    Control Arms - OEM or Aftermarket?

    Engineered in Canada, but probably made in China, I will confirm. https://www.mevotech.com/part/CMS801213/

    Control Arms - OEM or Aftermarket?

    My Forester (240,000km) needs new control arm bushings but I'm just going to replace the entire control arm because it includes all the bushings. Every item that needed replacing to date on this car was OEM, so I've no idea about aftermarket brands. Subaru OEM control arm is $500/each...

    Where to get tires installed?

    I went with SS Automotive, they repair cars, bikes, atvs etc and are in Mississauga. The owner, Marco, rides a KTM and did my tire swap for me in a day. Cost was affordable, cheaper than most shops, but not as cheap as Mikey in Brampton or Rosey Toes. https://maps.app.goo.gl/KxiJcvLFoLiKdm2C8...

    How do you use your riding modes?

    I'm glad I'm not the only one then that doesn't ride in Sport mode all the time! I think if I spend more time in it, I can fine tune that muscle memory in my wrist, but time will tell. Come to the dark side, it's fun over here!

    How do you use your riding modes?

    Tuning was great! Mode 1 and 2 were super twitchy at first, and I told Speedlab that the throttle response on Mode 3 was perfect. They then mimicked that for mode 1 and 2, but I can feel the torque difference and how much the bike pulls in all 4 modes. The throttle response is good for 1 and...
