It's new tire time. Unfortunately I have an older bike and selection has narrowed somewhat. Ideally, I'm looking for sport touring tires with reasonable longevity but solid handling and good wet grip. I've used Metzeler Marathons/880s for years, but they're not making the new 888's or Tourances...

Haha, holy ****! :lmao:

Quite a few GTAM guys have pushed trades for a while. I guess it fits our demographic here. Well trades is an option I've thought of sometimes, but most of the guys I know personally are in IT/programming or law (I don't know why I know so many lawyers, but I can assure you that knowing a lot of...

So I've been riding for over ten years and have had a full M for nearly that long. But I never bothered to get myself the G portion, other than having a G1 for as long (yes, it's still valid, I renew it). I can drive a car, that's not the issue, but the wife and I don't own one and I rarely have...

A buddy of mine was travelling through Germany a few weeks ago and mentioned the following: We had a laugh about that and then forgot about it. Well, today he sent me this (No nudity, but it almost certainly qualifies as NSFW): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb6mQHwXY_M Couple of Greek...

The Globe had a feature today showing the top ten places in the city for hydrant parking tickets. We may have free parking (for now), but not in front of hydrants! I don't know some Globe journalist got himself one too many tickets and decided to zing back the green hornets, but it's nice to...

Had to say it. For me this playoffs was that series. Everything else is gravy.

Hi guys, does anyone here have any experience in a job where you handled inventory or car or motorbike parts? At say a parts desk, or a back office? Doesn't matter if it's for a manufacturer, dealership, or a third party store like NAPA or Canadian Tire? If so, could you just shoot me a quick...

So for various reasons, I've never had my full G, in fact I let the learners lapse and have nothing at all at the moment. Not that I can't drive a car (though I only have the chance once every couple years), I just don't have the license. However, I do have a full unrestricted M and have had...

Well, in Chicago they're taking the first step to actually making Thoughtcrime an honest-to-Go real offence. http://www.theverge.com/2014/2/19/5419854/the-minority-report-this-computer-predicts-crime-but-is-it-racist So the Chicago PD has implemented a computer that claims to predict crime...

... on Winter hours. I was going to pick up some fluids as part of my winter maintenance projects. Nothing fancy - just 10w fork oil and 80w-90 transmission oil - but not stuff I can pick up from Canadian Tire or NAPA etc. Anyway, looks like everyone's off-season hours are Saturday-only or...

I clicked on this link thinking the video would be some nanny nonsense about "Don't pull out too far!", but it's actually pretty smart and probably can be applied for bikes too. http://www.wheels.ca/feature/how-to-safely-turn-left-its-trickier-than-you-think/ Left turns are of course trouble...

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/incoming/desjardins-to-buy-state-farm-canada/article16342689/ The headline tag played a little bit of a bull**** clickbait game by saying "Premiums to nearly double", but what they actually mean is that Desjardins' revenue from insurance premiums will nearly...
