I thought the TSB released their preliminary report ages ago? I watched this video from an airline pilot that seems fairly balanced and clear about the likely factors: Coles notes are: - due to heavy snow, the runway was plowed more narrowly than typical (making visual cues less reliable...

Watched the Hip documentary recently on Prime, can't recommend it highly enough. I was never a super dedicated fan, but the '90s were my teen and early-20s years, so they were ever-present and I saw them live at least a half dozen times then. The run from Up to Here to Phantom Power was just...

Wasn't sure where to put this, but figured this thread was as suitable as anywhere... https://www.reddit.com/r/shittytattoos/s/uz6sMI6SVl (Wouldn't let me embed media for some reason)

Yep. We rented a trailer last summer that came with an insanely comfortable mattress both my wife and I loved. When we returned it, we asked what brand it was, expecting some high-dollar memory foam/gel whatever. The owner laughed and said everyone who comes back with the rental asks the same...

Fair enough, but considering they recently killed the model despite it being a critical darling, seems there simply weren't enough folks out there who want a second or third bike just for Bucky's runs and garage admiration sessions...

Classic example of a bike that everyone likes but nobody buys, then when they stop selling them, everyone who didn't buy one is outraged. Perhaps destined for Sport Classic territory where the used ones skyrocket in price and mostly end up as static art pieces, better admired than ridden. I...

Were they? My (admittedly hazy) memory of the V-Rod is that it was underwhelming and a bit of a joke, not improving on the 15+ year old VMax that sold for about half the price. My sense is the Pan Am was much, much better and got a lot of accolades for being 'surprisingly good for a Harley'...

As someone who sympathises with @TK4 in regards to the steady flow of political outrage threads, is there a way to mute that particular subforum from the 'What's New' feed? I know @PrivatePilot had asked for something similar a while back, but I understand it might not be possible depending on...

You and me both. My wife is from BC, and so instinctively starts putting winter gear away at the end of February, which results in my annual lecture about how you're not safe until May, and even then. But this year, I'm very ready for it to be over now. I was also pining for a return to 'real'...

When we go, we bring a nylon duffel bag each that we picked up at MEC a few years ago. Scrunches up into a tiny pouch, sort of like those K-Way rain jackets from way back, but unfurls to a sizeable bag when needed. We then put our laundry in the duffel bags and stash all the culinary and other...

I bought a khaki John Doe Explorer jacket from FC-Moto a couple years ago, and it's become one of my favourite pieces of kit. Absolutely top quality, comfortable, and reasonably priced at around $500 CAD. Highly recommended, especially for gear that doesn't look ridiculous away from the bike...

When I placed my order, there was no option. UPS was the only choice, unfortunately. I have a lifetime hate-on for UPS for so many reasons that it's impossible to cover here, so I would have chosen literally any other shipper if I'd had the choice.

Thanks for that! Have bookmarked for later reference. Nobody nearby had one that I needed (not much Guzzi support in Hamilton!), but gritted my teeth and found what I needed on Amazon, delivery this afternoon. I want to hate Amazon so much, but the convenience is very hard to walk away from...

Ah, maybe all the offseason political ranting has kept him quiet, and he needs some RE chat to coax him out of hiding...

Has anyone heard from @TK4 recently? I haven't seen anything from him since I took an unplanned pause when GTAM stopped working on any of my browsers for a while...

I reinstalled the wheels on the Griso today after getting some new shoes. Ended up getting a set of Metzeler Roadtec 01 SE's from Revco installed at Pro 6 for $55/ea. I'd love to say the single-sided shaft drive made rear wheel install easy, but it was quite a faff, actually. Still easier than...

But it's a collector's item because nobody else bought one! I remember that bike. A not quite there attempt to compete with the Japanese 600 i4's. Definitely a transition era for Triumph between the heavy but reliable early years and later success. This was just a couple years before the 675...

Just received an order from FC-Moto, my first since they switched to UPS from DHL as the international shipper. Got whacked with extra duty that is around 18-20% on a pair of TCX shoes, some Held CE Level 2 armour, and an IXS jacket. Ended up as a ~$200 bill when combined with HST and various...

100% of tests had the face guard stay closed, so I'd say that's a win right there, as many modulars have it pop open at least once. I'm a big fan of Shark, as long as you don't pay Canadian MSRP. The OXO above is the updated version of the Evo with ECE 22.06 certification...

This might be the most exciting thing to happen in MotoGP in 2025...
