All this talk about KTM got me to thinking. Now this is what I call a real “off road” KTM. ;) Seems fitting too as this is Daytona weekend and the photo was taken at Daytona in1982. Hmmmm thats 30 years ago...

Again, Chris McDermott posted this on the Ducati Owners forum. since Monday, if you go to the Ducati (Canada, USA, or world) site, you will see that Ducati Toronto no longer exists. What I have done is made sure we have oil, belts, etc. to do some service. You could do us ( your bike and me)...

BINGO! We have a winner. If you compare the seams on the limited edition F4’s (like the Senna) you’ll notice they appear to be less visible. http://motoprofi.com/imgs/a/a/m/m/r/mv_agusta_f4_1000_senna_2007_1_lgw.jpg People may hold different opinions and are free to voice them. However, one...

Different people have different experiences. We cross 3 – 5 times a year and seem to get the grumpy ex military type border guards more often then not. Twice I’ve been grilled as to why I am bringing a guitar to a motorcycle race. I mean really, this is what is of the most concern to them...

The wife and I have gone every year. However, we're thinkin' of takin' a pass this year. The cost of gas, hotel and the general pain in the butt crossing the boarder has become are all factors. We've always bought the Ducati grandstand package and had a blast...

I call B.S. To paraphrase a well know movie line, "Show me da stats!" You " ...THINK the losses have been higher on the smaller bikes..." So, you don't really know, do you? I'll bet that some little bean counters looked at the rising cost of health care and without any proof of rising claims...

I think your forgetting some very important factors. If all else is equal then look to which dealership you'd prefer to deal with. If you plan to do lots of long rides and reliability is a concern then which brand / model has the least number of reported issues. Another thing you should consider...

Chris McDermott posted this on the Ducati Owners forum. April 9 is closing day for Harley of Toronto. There has been a mad blowout of parts and bikes. My apologies for not announcing this for those that would be interested. The mad selling of everything Harley started almost before employees...

Ah, when was the last time you were at GP Bikes? They moved into a HUGE new store in Whitby a year ago. And you are welcome to start a business based on what ever model, business plan you'd like. However, I wouldn't bet on your store putting Jerry out of business. It takes much more then just...

I’ve been a frequent visitor (and random poster) here on GTAM for years. My problem has been that every time I toast a computer I loose my user names and passwords. So, I don’t post for long periods at a time. I gave up trying to log on with my old info because for some reason the automated...

I've owned something from all of the major Japanese manufacturers. Everything from a 100cc Kawi up to an RC30 Honda. I traded in my 1990 RC30 for a1998 Ducati 900 SS Final Edition. That bike just turned 14 years old last month. I've put all but the first 38 kilometres on him. It may only be a...

rinomato1, how unique, how rare? A 1987 Ducati 650 Indiana may not seem to fit. However, seeing as there were only a couple in Canada and this one was traded even for a new 796 Monster I think it fits. http://www2.reach.net/seven/Dino124.jpg http://www2.reach.net/seven/Dino134.jpg And how about...

Same old same old. None of the on line quote software I've tried so far has listings for some of the motorcycles I'm interested in. I had the wife make some calls this morning and she got the standard, "Sorry, that motorcycle isn't in our system" answer on several of them. You'd think since...

ah... Jevco in the mid nineties, I remember it well. I was a recipient of one of those infamous registered cancellation letters for my little NS400R. I phoned my broker and asked about my RC30. He said if they didn't send a letter then it was still covered. I asked how could that be, cancel my...
