With the UK having Brexited the EU, doing this might be more expensive, since both shipping and duties could each be charged twice? I read this article the other day about a British tourist (of course it was a british tourist in Italy) who got a 14,000 EUR bill because he decided to disregard...

I'm cheap but... do I want a car tech touching my motorcycle though? Which car tech is the one doing the work, is it the lowest paid/newest kid who's never wrenched on a bike before? I've seen the utter disregard for correct retorquing of bolts on my truck. If I close my eyes I can hear the...

Great for us, bad for the shops lol. Imagine a bike fails for drum brakes and the owner goes home, replaces them, and brings it back to the shop where they have to take the back wheel off AGAIN at no additional charge? Yikes. I was told $250 before I dropped it off, and I paid $250 when I...

Just buy a center stand for the Scrambler? Or are we still doing the "This will be the year..." song and dance about selling it? :D

I got my new to me bike safetied at Studio Cycle on Tuesday. They replied to me over the weekend while they were closed telling me to drop it off at 10:30 AM on Tuesday when they were open. It was along my way to my first job of the day so I couldn't say no to that! I know a customer said they...

Was that the one that was on FB for $4k last week?

I'm sure there are freight forwarding businesses in the UK that could receive and forward the package to you... but I have no idea if they would be expensive or not. CBI is cheap because you pick it up from their warehouse in Niagara Falls NY. Shippsy is cheap because they receive it at their...

Jobs involving fluids are often easier with a vise. Manufacturers design their bikes for stuff involving fluid to be done with the bike level. A chock will lift the front end up, vice won't. Vice makes it easier for complete draining (oil) / easy filling (brake fluid) / level checking...

Just use a mailbox in the US that you can either pick it up yourself when you're out for a ride, like CBIUSA.com, or one that forwards it to Canada for you to pick up like shippsy.com A lot of my sponsors won't ship to Canada, because I guess I'm worth working with, but not worth enough to pay...

Good to know!

Ok, so long story short, those removable pads inside a full face helmet, good motorcycle manufacturers make them in a handful of different thicknesses, and you can order different sizes based on need. As an example I had an ex with a tiny head... now, most manufacturers would think, they have a...

I dunno... It seems like two non-issues. Long rides = wear ear plugs so you can still hear in your grey years, tinitis sucks, ask my friends who have it, but ask them LOUDLY Cheeks too tight = just buy a different inner pads for your helmet I sold helmets for a couple years when I worked at...

Even my AGV K6 which at the time I think was around $650, still couldn't touch the 10 year old Arai I had before it... but I wasn't going to get the Arai in the look that I wanted in time for my trip in 2023, and I wasn't going to pay Arai money and not get the color combo that I wanted... I've...

Yes to which one? lol On a test ride, or while being worked on in the shop? I got my teeth pullers and I'm doing all I can but the roots run deep with this one boys!

Yes, here's a template to help you: Bike was crashed at (business name): Bike was crashed by (employee name): You can pretty much tell us the whole story in like, 2 words lol

Woah woah woah, hey now, back up. Just going to gloss over that and not tell us what happened?! That's like saying "I have a secret but I can't tell you." Don't tell us you have a secret, and don't tell us a shop dropped (crashed?) your bike badly enough that you don't want to ride it again, if...

Speaking of Canadians and Canadian YouTube channels. My favorite comment I ever got on YouTube is kinda relevant: Sir, I was not even aware of your existence lol

Pretty sure my riding training class said "Fast in, EMERGENCY BRAKE, fast out" Yeah, that was it lol

Yeah but their audience isn't Canadian because we're so tiny and no one rides here :( For perspective, this is where all of my motorcycle channel's views came from in the last 365 days: USA - 40% UK - 8.8% CAN - 6.1% AUS - 4.5% PHI - 3.2% I'm sure at the scale that they are at compared to my...

How ya gonna go fast out of a corner if you don't carry 'nuff speed goin' into it?
