    Helmet life

    Isn't that a good reason to not buy $1000+ helmets? I got a shoei gt air 2 and I doubt I'll buy another helmet this expensive ever again. It's no better than my previous Bell or Scorpion before that both of which were 1/3 the price. If anything I think the fit and finish is slightly worse than...

    Helmet life

    It's not $68, when you select one of the sizes it's $84, and they're all out of stock at that link anyways. I was just at Royal Distributing, they're having their tent sale until Sunday, lots of HJC and Bell helmets for just over $200. You're not any safer in a C3.

    Helmet life

    New helmet liner, plus new visor, at that point you're spending $200+, may as well just get a whole new helmet.

    On the way to Nova Scotia (from Toronto) Solo to the Cabot Trail. Suggestions?

    I was in nova scotia earlier this summer and did this section: 4750 NS-348 to Aulds Cove extremely sparse roads with almost no traffic and great technical riding, though some sections have bad potholes. I also did this section (Fourchu Road) on the eastern side of Cape Breton: 2474 NS-247 to...

    2023 Ride Report - North Shore of St. Lawrence

    Shane thanks for an amazing trip. You make a really good ride leader and trip planner. I feel bad about making you miss Kegaska, I know you really wanted to see that town. I just really didn't feel good about doing many kms of slick wet gravel in the pouring rain, especially in such a remote...

    Saguenay and North Shore of St Lawrence

    I'd be up for it, I got a lot of vacation days I need to use up and can take a week off in August.

    Alpinestars Andes v3 Drystar pants

    Alpinestars Andes v3 Drystar waterproof pants. I bought them new last summer, worn only a few times, still in like-new condition, no odour. These are $360 new, I want $200. Selling cause they're a bit too tight for me, these would be perfect for someone with a 32-34" waist. Includes removable...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I like it. Hyundai is really hitting it out of the park lately. But I'm not a fan of simulated gear shifting in EVs.

    My 42-Year-Old Friend Failed His M2 Exam

    When the car in front of you brakes, it shouldn't be a surprise. Even if he brakes hard for no good reason, you should still be able to predict it in time to react. Part of being a good rider on the street is getting good at predicting what other drivers will do.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    The 35k M3 was never available, just something Musk claimed would happen and never did. Not really the same as BMW advertising a car for a particular price, and then not letting you buy it at that price. There's a new standard range Model Y for $59,990.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I'm not talking about things like fit and finish, just the feel of driving the car. The WRX is no worse in that regard than any other ICE car, the fact is that ICE cars just feel outdated after you've had an EV. Even just pumping gas is an annoying thing that I'm glad I'll never have to do...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I went from a WRX to the Tesla and I can tell you the Tesla just feels far more modern. I used to hate commuting, now I don't mind it because driving the Tesla even in a traffic jam is much more relaxing. One foot driving is a game changer for me. Other people love the self-steering and...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    When/how? I don't remember. I do remember there being a very short rage version of the M3 (like 150 kms) for a while that you had to jump through hoops to get, but nobody bought those anyways, is that what you're referring to?

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Only had it a few weeks but so far I'm loving it. The one screen for everything doesn't bother me, I got used to it quickly. I guess it depends on whether you're the type of guy who can get used to new ways of doing things, or whether you're more stubborn and hate changing what you're used to.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I think it's deceptive, they advertise a fairly decent price ($54,990 for the BMW i4) but if you try to buy one for that price they don't let you. Maybe it's all for the best cause the base i4 is very barebones, doesn't even come with heated seats. They're physically present, you're just not...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I tried to buy the Mach-E a few months ago. I just wanted a base model (plus AWD) and they said those were all sold out and you wouldn't be able to get one for the rest of the year. They had plenty of Premiums and GTs. I also tried buying the BMW i4, same issue, can't get a base, have to get a...

    Portelance Rd., Capreol to RT. 560

    I did it in 2020 and there was a washout about halfway through that required crossing through water. I doubt it's been fixed yet. Most of the road is easy gravel but there are a few harder sections including a pretty steep climb/descent. If you're comfortable on dirt you should have no problem...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Yeah but that 2.4 cent rate is really tempting, it would make driving incredibly cheap. Not that the 7.4 cents I'm currently paying is bad... All you have to do is avoid using power as much as possible 4pm-9pm on weekdays. I don't know how doable that is for other households but for me I think...
