    What to know about buying a track bike

    Lots to cover here, and others will have far more experience with this than I do, but I'll pass on what I've learned over the years... First, pick the kind of bike you want to track. I'd strongly advise against anything with big power, unless you have a LOT of experience, simply because you'll...

    The "Official" Watch Thread and all Things Horological

    I, uh, I mean, um, sure? Assuming it's real, I am constantly amazed that people actually buy those, unlike all the athletes and celebrities who get them for free. I assumed for a long time they were like Invicta, and the MSRP was kind of a joke with a real sales price much lower. Then I saw a...

    Fantastic watch. Simultaneously manages to have classic diver proportions without falling into the Submariner rip-off looks that so many do. That L888 movement is also one of my favourites. Big power reserve (72 hrs), but at 3.5 Hz splits the difference between the basic Powermatic 80 with its...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    Another Sprint ST with hard luggage for a song: Log into Facebook The bike that out-VFR'ed the VFR, with the added benefit of much simpler servicing over a V4. The ad is pretty minimal, and the photos are crap, but if this as clean as it appears, $3k is a huge amount of Swiss-Army-Bike for the...

    A game of what bike is it.

    She's a beaut. Is that the Reynolds Museum in Wetaskiwin? If so, definitely a sport worth a visit if anyone is ever out that way, and not just to see @guzzirider 's yellow peril rebuild...

    Cannot access GTAM on Android

    Funny, it stopped working for me multiple times over the past few days, usually at work. Both mobile data and WiFi, site just wouldn't load. Then it suddenly starts working again. Very strange.

    Can a Yamaha FZ6R be made fast?

    *squints* *Googles* Dude, I think you might be a little lost. This is GTA as in Greater Toronto Area Motorcycles, not Grand Theft Auto Motorcycles...

    Can a Yamaha FZ6R be made fast?

    I think by the time they got to the R (as opposed to the original FZ6), the motor had been changed significantly over multiple generations. I'd be very surprised if a swap was plug and play, likely requires major modifications to make it work. It's probably a lot cheaper/easier to buy an R6 and...

    Can a Yamaha FZ6R be made fast?

    Fast is a relative thing. When I was in my early 20's and had a Hawk GT that I home-tuned as far as I could go, it sure felt fast to me, even if it only made ~60hp on the dyno. When I had a ZX14 (~185hp), it also felt pretty fast, but the limits were harder to get to. One thing I know for 100%...

    Is a simple four into one header straight piped the best exhaust?

    I mean, aside from the curiosity of putting so much effort into tuning that particular motor in that way, the main reason I understand not to just hack the pipe off wherever is that it can create back-pressure in the exhaust which can actually rob power because it slows the exhaust strokes...

    Recomendation on power adapter for Italy?

    We always stay in Trastevere, but it's getting harder to find reasonably priced accommodations as the demand only seems to grow and grow, especially if you try to avoid AirBnB and similar. It's already touristy, but that's okay, we're tourists. No shame in that, and chasing a so-called...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Biggest issue I can see with that ramp is the gaps between the rungs are huge, which will become a much bigger issue as you steepen the incline, and it looks quite short, which could pose problems with bottoming as you get over the hump. Don't you have a utility trailer already? I'd much...

    Brain finally stopped slipping the clutch: shop was called Demon Tweeks. Dollars to donuts those shrouds, or whatever they are, are made by either Pyramid or Ermax. Have been having flashback to scantily clad and very, very British models draped over Spondon-framed Gixxer 1100's with a massive...

    Looks like something that would be sold by the UK vendor that used to always be in Streetfighters magazine back in the '90s, the name of which I can't remember to save my life. I want to say streeghtfighterz.co.uk, but that's not it. They sold all sorts of cheap plastic customising bits...

    Recomendation on power adapter for Italy?

    Ah, you'll be fine. Definitely worth the squint to double check, but I'll be shocked if any of the above can't take 220-240. Sounds like a heck of an itinerary, hope you have time to chill. I assume La Spezia is a jumping-off point for Cinque Terre, it's the only reason any tourists go there...
