    First day trip of the season

    Some great roads. Spent a long weekend around Nelson for a RAT rally (with me on my green ZX-10R, there with a buddy on a Daytona 675 at least), there wasn't a bad road in and out of there. Was never able to test my cahoonies on the descent into Osoyoos in the few times I was through there...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    It's a commuter bag mostly used to hold my laptop, notebook and rain jacket when I ride to the office, nowhere near big enough to do any touring. Just saves me having to wear a backpack, really. A second bag would be unnecessary, and as noted by @Sunday Rider , wouldn't fit with the relatively...

    I wonder if, in the same fashion, all of Marquez's crashes in Alpinestars and Shoei gear have sold more than his wins...

    Buying gear from Europe

    I suspect they added it to the ZTL list when they expanded it a few years ago. There are golf cart tours being sold as Appian Way tours as well, but they only take you as far as the catacombs of San Sebastino where the asphalt road ends, and don't take you on the ancient road further southeast...

    MotoGP 2025 Discussion Thread *Warning: Spoilers allowed*

    The French commentary (remember Randy de Puniet?) over images of Papa Zarco hyperventilating is something else. The media won't paste here for some reason, so here's the link from Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/motogp/s/27RWcEZDqJ

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Just to follow on with this, I got a chance to test the Lamtto RC15 head unit more fully yesterday with a ride around Niagara (unbelievable weather, by the way, what a perfect day). I put together a route with OsmAnd, and despite complaining that it wanted a subscription to work with Android...

    Buying gear from Europe

    The park section of the Appian Way is ZTL, meaning you can get a big fat ticket if you don't have a permit to be there. There are a few houses, so those residents can drive in, but everyone else is barred. Would you get away with it if you tried? Probably, similar to driving a car into a big...

    Buying gear from Europe

    Florence is mostly about the Renaissance, which is all about the art from that time period, including the churches. For me, while the art is incredible, and the food is top notch, the city itself doesn't have enough to make the insane crowds worth the headache for more than a couple of days...

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    I dunno. He stopped riding just cause he no longer rides, maybe he will start riding just cause he rides again. Then he can IGNORE the LOWBALLERS permanently.

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    You won't just be ignored, you will be IGNORED! And the reason for selling is a classic... Example 8,658,735 of a bike ridden through an accessories catalogue and a seller expecting to recoup his cost for all the accumulated tat.

    Buying gear from Europe

    I've heard good things about them via RC51 groups for being able to order OEM parts here that may be out of stock from North American warehouses. Not to be confused with WeBike, which is a really cool Japanese site selling bits by aftermarket Japanese manufacturers that you often don't see here...

    What are you currently playing?

    Something like this would cover all current games and be playable for quite a few years: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/QQY2fd Individual parts can be swapped depending on what's available and on sale. Either way, to get something worth building now, expect to pay around $2000 plus Windows...

    Got a chance to ride at a private track!!!

    Nice! That place had just opened when we were in BC, but most Vancouver guys were still going to the Ridge because it's actually slightly closer than driving to Oliver. The WMRC races at Mission, but I know a few of those guys would do an early season weekend at Area 27 as a shakedown for the...

    I guess the chopped cafe racer thing is officially dead, eh?

    I'd be infinitely more interested in that than the King of the Baggers series!

    High speed trains

    Rome is unique. It's hard to find a city more densely packed with history, and it's nut just new finds that slow things down. Much of that line is being built immediately adjacent to the Colosseum and Forum, so there's the dual challenges of both protecting what's already there as well as...

    I guess the chopped cafe racer thing is officially dead, eh?

    Definitely a different crowd. These seem mostly to be homebrew, and the build quality is often equivalently junk. The whole DIY aesthetic was a big part of the appeal, while the chopper craze was often to pay someone else to assemble an unrideable piece of junk for you from catalog parts. It's...

    I guess the chopped cafe racer thing is officially dead, eh?

    Capped at 10, but I for sh*ts and giggles I opened the FB Marketplace 'Motorcycles' page instead of searching for something specific, and there are dozens and dozens of these things, most either sitting or heavily reduced.

    High speed trains

    Sure, but land cost (soft costs per that paper) is hardly unique to Canada. It's not like real estate in central Milan is cheap. They're just much better at a) telling the complainers to eff off, allowing for more cost effective routes and much cheaper tunneling options, and b) reusing/sharing...

    High speed trains

    The inability for English-speaking countries to build cost-effective railways is well documented. For a variety of reasons, we collectively can't get it done, and seem to be uniquely terrible at delivering large projects for a reasonable cost generally. There'a an interesting paper that delves...
