Apparently this show is 🔥 and the next big thing. I am waiting for all episodes to drop. Anybody started and first impressions? NO SPOILERS please! :)

I thought GS Trophy is the ultimate ADV competition? Interesting to watch how these behemoths can behave in capable hands :) as per flat-track I think all competitors ADV bikes must have full metal luggage attached and fully loaded as it's the whole purpose of ADV to move your house around the...

Nice!!, that always was a plan to ride West cost mountains back-forth especially now when my daughter lives and works in Banff Springs,,, had to be last year but things changed (a lot) for me with quitting my job and other middle life crisis events LOL. So summer 2027 is a new realistic goal -...

I am thinking more and more to move to BC (among many other places) - what's the small town you are talking about here, curious to see it on the map...

here in ONtario I've noticed all demo rides switched to "Charity events" - I think all of them require to "donate" $50 min now, I think "charity" label allows them to avoid having "new bike rental services" taxes (?) and if they only give 1% to charity, the rest can cover their costs - GP Bikes...

with good tech (software in the bike brains) it doesn't matter anymore - power wheelie, clutch, no clutch, pump and pull back = all the same - twist the throttle all the way back and bike comes up only to the "predefined" height - but for example on my Yamaha it oly allows it in the air for a...

From what I've seen on YT it seems BMW's wheelie control very optimized for acceleration and efficiency, so yeah, not for hooligan's style, and it was a year ago when I was actively looking into it, who knows tech these days changes so fast.. here is the vid where poor guy sweating for hours to...

Apparently the newest wheelie control is amazing on new Sup Duke 1390. On the Very High option it allows shift and pull crazy long wheelie without risk of looping (well I'd guess everything has limits). Tehre are a lot of YT videos ppl testing it and pretty much consensus is that if you have...

SP version is 🔥 I also wonder if they will offer "wheelie assist" advanced option for wheelie control only in SP version. They did it for single where you can have it only in expensive package with Termi exhaust. This is the only tech I am dying to try one day....

It looks like Chinese cars moved in and dominate Brazilian electric car market. https://about.bnef.com/insights/clean-transport/did-you-spot-a-new-ev-in-brazil-its-probably-chinese/ I think our farmers suffer due to China stopped buying our agri products and offer to resume in exchange of...

Don't have to go far for my example - my own street row townhouses in Aurora. 2 years ago middle units (x2) were sold for 890k and 910K and just yesterday my neighbor's place after 8 months on the market and 3 price drops got sold for 697K.. Oh, no!! I just lost 200k (which i never had) :)

Recently, I've noticed two of these driving on sidewalks in Aurora, mostly in the neighborhoods east of Bayview. It's electric, but is it still considered a scooter? Looks more like a mini car to me. What law says about these I wander..

Just switched to Aviva - did online quotes and Aviva came $450 cheaper! My current Belairdirect increased my premium for ‘26 by $250 so it wsa time to go shopping..

Language Learning - just tell it to switch to Spanish (for example), and ask it to correct errors, offer new words, and suggest better ways to sound like a native speaker. Then switch to the mic and talk to her - amazing! I’m surprised it’s still free...

Coming home from ride with @shanekingsley be like.. (Note: my actual tire after this ride - yeah, I know I need a new one:))
