    Am I the only one to own (much) more than one set of motorcycle gear?

    That’s the pose of “I just bought my first motorcycle and here’s my fancy new outfit”

    Dakar 2025

    Love the Dakar Youtube channel highlights. In a 10min highlight you'll see 5min bikes, 3.5min cars, some SXS and truck and about 10sec of quads...........because F.U. quads! (If you ride dirtbikes you'll get it)

    Am I the only one to own (much) more than one set of motorcycle gear?

    I need to come up with a display of some type for my garage so that I can put my helmets there. Between my wife and I we have 2 MX, 3 sled, 1 track, 4 street helmets. Nice if I could incorporate my track onesie in there as well. Maybe that'll be a winter project.

    Am I the only one to own (much) more than one set of motorcycle gear?

    I downsized about 5yrs ago selling off all of my coats and replacing the lot with a waterproof 3-season ADV coat which I love. At the time I had a mesh coat, a mid-grade leather coat, a schmantzy $1000 A* jacket that was too pretty and heavily discounted at dealer to pass up, and a leather...

    New Tech vs. Old and repairable for long term? An article from ADV Rider.

    I saw a very clean black and yellow one in the back of a pickup truck in the Timmies parking lot in Havelock this Fall. Newly purchased wall-hanger possibly.

    Dakar 2025

    Canet is still in Rally 2. I was incorrect though and they do in fact have a 3-man team. Being a KTM guy I'm always pulling for them in the Dakar and it was sad to see the Toby Price interview where he mentions KTM didn't renew his contract this year. I'm also a Ford guy and they're having a...

    Dakar 2025

    Anyone watching this year? Lots of changes to keep an eye on with KTM only fielding a 2-rider team, Sutherland and Price in a car instead, Sainz in a Ford, Rally 2 riders.

    What happens if KTM goes bust?

    Same for my 1290SAR. There's nothing else made that's as fun and capable.

    If you could load your bike on a plane and had 6 weeks off, where would you go?

    Ditto for me. I'm buying/renting a Multistrada to do it though.

    Mouse Blocker

    Snap traps are cheap and effective. Can't say the same for either point on the electronic devices. The rare mouse that gets by our snap traps outdoors are immediately caught by our cat who will wait 8 hours non-stop staring at the entry point when he hears one in the wall.

    What product do you always go back to? Or change out every time?

    Next time you're out shopping try on the Alpinestars Toucan boot. I have both the Tech 7 and the Toucan and the Toucan could very well double as a MX and ADV boot. It has much of the Tech 7 protection yet is a bit more flexible, is very comfortable, and it's waterproof. For tires check out the...

    Are you switching to Windows 11?

    No, I'm using the same keys. No luck with just F6. Ok, I thought it was a Win thing but I'm not tech savvy in the least. Both are Acer laptops.

    Recent movies you saw - recommend or no

    Red One was pretty enjoyable. I'd watch it on future Christmasses. Carry On was pretty meh I thought.

    Are you switching to Windows 11?

    In Win 10 you pressed Fn-F6 turned off the screen when utilizing the HDMI output to a screen. What needs to be pressed to do this in Win 11 because I can't figure it out.

    Are you switching to Windows 11?

    Mom's expensive but older Mac stopped working and it's too outdated for Apple to support it anymore so it was a brick. I sent her a new Acer windows machine during the Black Friday sales and she loves it. My old Acer windows machine running 10 worked fine but took about 2min to startup (it was...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    The only problem with lemon pledge is that there's no UV blockers in it. I've tried the Honda stuff as well and found it lacking. "303 Aerospace Protectant" or "Carpro Perl" can both be had for peanuts and are excellent on all surfaces. I'd use "Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic" on the red painted...

    What do you do to pass the time when you ride?

    Music of all types. Motorcycle/dirtbike/snowmobile always have music playing.

    Daily sports car?

    Hard to get excited about anything Honda-revival these days after the new CRX/CRZ was lame and the new NSX was already behind it's competitors when it was released. Honda isn't the only one though as the new 370Z and Supra are both lame as well. We cleared up one bay in the garage yesterday and...

    KTM's Parent Company Isn't Doing Hot, Shifting More Production to China and India

    I only looked for about 2min but here's a 24 300SX for $7999Cdn ($2600 off). Just need to look around for remaining inventory as far as you're willing to travel and then make an offer. If they bite fine, and if they don't also fine. Edit - I forgot to post the link...

    KTM's Parent Company Isn't Doing Hot, Shifting More Production to China and India

    My buddy sent me a link for some 300 SX bikes discounted a few thousand at a US dealer recently. Can’t recall the dealer but seems there’s some cuts south of here.
