WOW what a race! So when is KTM coming out with a SS again? I'll be first in line ;) What a load of crap that penalty was with Zarco... what was he supposed to do? I couldn't help but notice the Yamaha's seemed a little slower. Do you think they dialed them back to preserve further engine...

Great to hear you are putting the time and effort into improving your riding; it's often that riders will blow tons of money on shiny bits for their bike but then hesitate to spend anything when it comes to rider development. One key thing to remember is that slow is smooth and smooth is fast...

I have an ohlins one for the track bike and a cheap ~$100 one for the street bike (MT09) The cheap one works decent, but to get any real damping you have to crank it up quite high. I don't expect it to last more than 2-3 seasons but for ~$100 that's good enough for me. It does prevent wobble...

First race win this weekend, what an incredible weekend :D

No AM SBK results yet, weird.

I've been eyeing up the Tacoma for quite some time now. The poor gas milage is holding me back... Hoping for a re-redesign in 2021, they pumped a lot of money into the plant where they're being built so I am expecting some changes. It's the only "truck" I like, not sure what exactly it is about...

If Yamaha makes a SS with that inline 3 motor, I'll be first to put money down on it... That's a fantastic motor.

So it seems this is supposedly in effect as of July 1. Here's the relevant snippet: "Various changes to regulations under the Highway Traffic Act will: Expand the type of off-road vehicles permitted on roads to include off-road motorcycles, dirt bikes and extreme-terrain vehicles, commonly...

Prices right now are silly high, I'm hoping they drop to more reasonable levels in the fall; I have my eye out for a KTM :)

Wow, I really need to quit being a pu**y and lean that bike over. Picture really put it in perspective

You can custom mold a mount with some marine epoxy, then use 3M to hold your newly fabricated mount to the helmet. You want it mounted right in the center and with no arms so you have no vibrations. The Hero 7 can be had for $300 (Kijiji) and the quality/stabilization is great. Personally, I...

I'll only ride in leather, as long as it's perforated and you have some speed it doesn't get too hot. Going full squid in shorts/t-shirt is also very pleasurable at times, but feels "wrong" so I very rarely do it. It also means you become a meat crayon if you go down which I hear is no fun. I...

This is incorrect, just a heads up. Perhaps not all insurance companies are like that, with mine, there is a small difference.

I had a poor experience with Riders Choice. Track is fantastic though. Will be looking to sign up with pro6 next time around.

Top comment on reddit, "This makes street racing look safe." ?

Holy smokes! Corvette burned to the ground, fight breaking out, and multiple cars damaged pretty bad. oof. EDIT: Link went down :( Got some pictures of some of the carnage though. Missing is the video of the fight and some super reckless driving/passing.

If the UVIP value is not stated, you will pay HST on whatever you put as purchase price. (Ie. you put $100 you pay $13 in tax) Just make sure you and seller are on the same page. Also, writing $10 will work, but you are likely to get hassled a bit. I wouldn't go under $100 personally.

The naked bikes are a ton of fun, the transition from a SS to a naked bike has been an absolute pleasure (R6 to MT09). The added comfort in suspension and riding geometry along with the increased torque makes it infinitely more practical for street use. Can't deny the sex appeal of a SS though...
