Amen. I find it much more engaging to know I'm in charge of every aspect of the ride, managing traction while accelerating, braking, turning. Call me old-fashioned, I like to shift with a clutch, hold the bike on a hill with the rear brake and spin the rear wheel (or choose not to) with the...

15% off, plus whatever currency exchange savings, as the USD is slipping against the CAD. Reckless 80 was $1900 CAD at the Vancouver motorcycle show in January Today it's $1487 CAD, over $400 cheaper! https://moskomoto.com/

I know someone who used to be a service advisor. He said he quit that job because there was a lot of pressure by management to upsell, upsell, upsell services that weren't required. He said he felt dirty at the end of the day and he wasn't even the one wrenching on the bike...

Threads like this are reeeeally bad for my wallet. "I don't need these tools RIGHT NOW.... but I can totally see myself needing these exact tools SOON(ish)?"

Never thought of myself as either one or the other. I swing both ways... Did a dirt trip last summer with my hard cases. Got into some gnarly stuff, ran out of talent and tried to save the bike by dabbing the ground. Ended up almost tearing my MCL in the process because my leg got trapped...

Centrestands are great for street and touring bikes, but they're a liability for competition sportbikes and off-road motorcycles. They decrease ground clearance and unless they can be ziptied or secured to the frame, they may inadvertently deploy on rougher terrain and jumps or drops. You've...

Everyone's got their own comfort level with respect to risk and cost, as well as intended usage. Good thing there are multiple options on the market for the guy that just commutes to and from work, to the next guy who regularly submerges their bike in mud and snow, and nothing on the bike or...

The R1300GSA broke tradition with previous GS/GSA models. It's always been the case that the Adventure took the base GS and merely added a large tank, taller suspension and slapped an "ADV" badge on the side. However, this time around, they totally diverged from the R1300GS base and designed...

Latest models? I like the S1000RR, the ones before the aero-mustaches went on: Also, the older K1200S was good looking, in a thicc sort of way: As for the GS lineup, those were designed to look ugly and agricultural...

"The only rider capable of beating Marc Marquez... is Marc Marquez..." Truth. Kudos to FQ20. Flawless ride on flawed machinery.

The old R1250GS and older R1200GS also had silver panels, it's a "heritage" thing, I think. But also, they get to upsell you black panels from the catalog, a la Harley Davidson. These are the ones from the previous gen, look for R13 panels soon! BMW = Bring Money Withya...

Yep, available worldwide. It's the R1300GS Adventure (larger tank, longer suspension than the base GS): https://www.bmw-motorrad.ca/en/models/adventure/r1300gs-adventure/tripleblack.html

The first time they're late, he'll slap a 50% tariff on them. The second time they're late, he'll slap a 123% tariff on them. The third time they're late, he'll pause the tariffs for 90 days. The fourth time they're late, he'll tell everyone he's going to take it easy on them and reduce the...

It could be used for that, I guess. And in my case, it would be much needed... However, in this instance, it's protecting my rackless panniers, which drape over the rear seat and hang low enough to contact the exhaust, especially on rough terrain, where there is a lot of bouncing going on. A...

That's a variation of the common trail stand that off-roaders use when they don't have a centrestand on their bike. Just used mine on the big old Duc a few weeks ago when I ripped a hole in the rear tire and had to replace the inner tube on the side of the trail: Telescopes down into a...

Not sure about Bell's implementation, but the actual medium (fibre, copper, wifi) is independent of the the IP assignment protocol which is done by software or firmware. You can have Static IP or Dynamically assigned IP over any medium. This nerd-out moment brought to you by the letters D, H, C...

Hm. I actually suspect your original IP address was blacklisted. Rebooting the Bell box might have given you a new IP address, which let you back into GTAM.

It's gotten so bad that some users have plugged the router into a timer that cycles the power and reboots it daily in the small hours of the night.

Are you using Google Nest or Google Wifi? I'm currently troubleshooting a situation where the router degrades over time or traffic and requires a reboot. It only affects some sites and only certain devices - ie: GTAM on Android is slow, iPhones and PCs are unaffected. YouTube on my TV is fine...

Stock tires off! Knobs on! (MotoZ Tractionator ADVs) Time to hit the gnarlier trails!
