    Do You Remember When You "Outgrew" Your Bike?

    You can take a day of dirt training at http://www.cmts.org/ or http://www.trailtour.com/ and it's about 1/2 the price of track school. No idea if either offer trials training.

    If anyone is free tonight, I'm headed out with another rider to do some normal on-road stuff (taking the Ninja, I promise there will be no single track ;) around 6pm. Meeting at the Tim's at 400/Innisfil Beach for 6pm, holding there till 6:30.

    Oh man! I just thought you guys were ditching me! ;) I had something bike related I was doing on Wednesdays... now I'm all paranoid I'm having a senior moment.

    I agree. It was awesome when we had the consistent Wednesday meets last year.

    Do You Remember When You "Outgrew" Your Bike?

    It's probably a desire for mastery that's driving you, and if you're not getting that buzz anymore because there's not enough opportunity to push your skills in a safe/legal way. Stay on 2 wheels, but do something different, and learn a new set of skills. I'm completely biased, but I think...

    Best tires for the Ganny?

    I'm using Avon Gripsters, aired down to 14psi for the trail (carcass moves, so they clear well), and back up to 31psi for riding home. If you're not blue plate or you're trailering, just ignore me ;)

    Ack, I forgot to get one. In my defence I'm vegetarian (ok that's not much of a defence ;) Also, all those jokes about ***-less chaps... yeah they're real. People actually wear that stuff. WTF?

    Went to the Barrie HD demo today. They put on a pretty good one. The xr1200r is epic. Road King, not so much ;)

    Shift is closing out it's street line...

    I picked these up at the Royal tent sale, they were going for $99/pair and were gone by day 2 in Barrie. If Shift is just Fox's street wear, why did they make MX boots?

    Most invaluable Training Courses

    http://www.cmts.org/ Same idea as MacDoc's suggestion, but a different school. They have a huge selection of bikes to learn on.

    Are you guilty of any of these motorcycle fashion faux-pas?

    Sunglasses, jeans in boots (even right now... at the office), and rim tape :)

    Bought a Dirt Bike, Need to Learn to Ride it

    I took the CMTS course, loved it. (http://www.cmts.org/). Not exactly close to you though.

    John from Kitchener... Saving pennies for bike. Having fun researching for now

    Welcome. A KLR-650 will get you to the trails in reasonable comfort -- I'd vote for that one (I'm terribly biased ;)

    Yeah, wood fired pizza is the best.

    Might go too. KLR is AFU with a broken clutch cable, but the Ninja is working.

    Problem adjusting to turning on a ZX-6R

    I'd have a snappy comeback, but the sled dog team is lost in a blizzard. If I don't come back, tell my Ninja I love her. ;)

    Problem adjusting to turning on a ZX-6R

    The roads are still crap, hold off until they're cleared up a bit before you practise. It's only fake-summer right now ;)
