    Being A Motorcycle Salesperson: 5 Things I Hated

    Every place has its version of the Ugly American. My wife grew up in a tourist town on the coast of Croatia. Popular vacation spot for Italians who are right across the border. They complain about Italian tourists all the time, as loud, boorish and inconsiderate. We lived in Thailand for two...

    Cracked swingarms can happen to any bike. Here's one on a TT600: And one on a KLR650 (post-op):

    Church of the Redneck. BC Interior is the national epicentre of MahFreedumbs. "Don't tell me to wear a helmet/mask, get the jab, FreedumbConvoyCentral, etc." They are assaulting nurses who work at the hospital treating COVID patients. Mark my words: the next smallpox epidemic in Canada will...

    Being A Motorcycle Salesperson: 5 Things I Hated

    We rode through a small town in South Africa called Rhodes. They had modified all their stop signs in town, here's a sampling: Was very cute! :ROFLMAO:

    Being A Motorcycle Salesperson: 5 Things I Hated

    Then this will probably get your goat: there are French-Canadian enclave towns in Ontario where they've changed all the STOP signs to ARRET signs. And not on the Ottawa side of Ontario. On the Sault Ste-Marie side...

    We get a lot of riders in rural BC riding without helmets... and not just on the backroads, on the highway as well! All cruisers, of course. It's a thing here. :rolleyes:

    Test rides on A couple of GS's

    It's a bit of a Catch-22, smaller the bike, the more it suffers due to the drive train power loss of a shaft drive and the additional weight penalty. A chain drive is almost a necessity for a 60-70hp bike. On the bigger GSes with over 130hp, they can afford a bit of final drive power loss and...

    Is it just me?

    Having owned the bigger hyper for a while, they're basically a naked bike with motard styling. No functional reason why that seat height has to be that tall given it's low ground clearance. Stiff suspension better suited for the race track than dirt. The newer 698 Hypermotard sticks closer to...

    2025 GTA Photo Tag!

    The "whoops my bad" came when I posted the location when @Sunday Rider asked for it at 9:16am: To which I responded at 9:33am: I didn't claim it was anyone else's fault. Please specify where I did. Srsly. So much drama... 🤷‍♂️

    2025 GTA Photo Tag!

    Srsly, you really feel that slighted by my vague photo tag? If so, I will gracefully bow out and you can go back to having fun before I came here and ruined everything.

    2025 GTA Photo Tag!

    There have been other tags where the photo was vague. A clue was asked for. A clue was given. I gave the clue the minute I was able to. I was asleep between 1am and 9am. Apologies for the grave inconvenience. Had no idea this was a professional, high-stakes game of Motorcycle Photo Tag. I...

    2025 GTA Photo Tag!

    Guys, I gave the exact location (not even a clue) literally the morning after: Tag at 12:19am, exact location given at 9:33am. Was that too much time in between? Were all you guys scouring the streets in frustration between 12:30am and 9am trying to find the tag? If so, apologies to the...
