Does this count?

It was fun on the Hyper, but I'd need to raise the footpegs to really explore the limits of the bike. I wasn't too jazzed about being passed by EVERYONE at the end of each straight, so more ponies would be nice as well. Realistically, if I got into track again, I'd want a sportbike, for the...

No, she sat this one out. She's more into dirtbike and ADV riding these days. The only reason why we have a DesertX in the garage is because she gave up her sport-tourer. The track is wholly owned by the South Okanagan Motorsports Corporation, so I don't think they have any interests outside...

Got the track bug bad when I rented a bike at Phillip Island last year. There's an amazing track just an hour and a half from where we live, but unfortunately, it's a private track with membership fees of $50,000 and annual dues of $4000. Too rich for my blood. However, the facility does rent...

If you like Apple Fritters, the best ones in the world (claimed) are at the The Voyageur's Lodge right on Hwy 17 in Batchawana Bay, Algoma: https://www.algomacountry.com/voyageurs-lodge-cookhouse-a-must-stop-on-lake-superior/ Fair warning: they are F-n huge...

No video unfortunately. And I don't have access to one right now. We used to have a couple of T-Dubs at one of the riding schools where I taught at, and I was always practicing tight zig zags, u-turns and figure 8s. The TW has a very short wheelbase, steep rake, wide lock-to-lock steering and...

T-Dubs are awesome farm bikes. Turning radius is ridiculously tight. I can do figure 8s with one in a single regulation size parking spot.

For problem-free replacements in the future, take whatever part it is you need replacing to the dealer with you and say, "I want another one of these".

English is widely spoken by most younger people and most signs are also in English in the larger cities like Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Okinawa, etc. In the rural areas, English is less common, but with Google Translate with the Google Lens and Voice Translate, it is actually very easy to get around...

Perhaps from that one specific angle, but the blockiness isn't apparent from all other angles:

A good article on tire pressures in MotoGP: https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/motorcycles/motogp/motogp-bombshell-some-teams-are-cheating-the-tyre-rules/ Use Private/Incognito mode if you're getting paywalled. tldr: MotoGP has had the min tire pressure rule since 2016, but a lot of...

I don't think I've considered burning it to the ground. But I do think, "How much money would I have saved if I had just taken it to a shop in the first place. Now I gotta pay them to fix my mistake and then fix the bike as well..." When I overestimate my meagre wrenching skills....

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...
