    Grand bend lapping friday july 10

    This should be a bit of a wakeup call to the people who cry about the Rider's Meeting @ GWB days, because Chris sometimes says words that the GTAM swear-o-meter will not allow to appear. If you don't go to the Rider's meeting, you don't ride until they can do another one. I don't know if...

    Is the R3 Track worthy for newbie trackday rider?

    If you can get aftermarket bodywork for it, I say go for it. You sound like the type of person who already has a good idea about what's going on and where you want to go as a rider. If you can afford it, do it up. Alternatively you might be able to find a used low CC track bike, and consider...

    Car Vs Motorcycle Road Rage

    I was just going to comment on the foot wear. Takes me back to my general rule of "never wear sandals when you go out drinking" - you have zero chance in a fight, unless you're some martial arts expert perhaps. Biker could have just gave him a quick stomp with the heel... hell his girlfriend...

    Race Dad kills other Race Dad......

    When I was a kid, there was a fight between two fathers on opposite sides ... This was NOVICE hockey. I was like 8 or 9 years old. I was directly involved with the play as well... pass came to me, might have been off side.. I think it probably was. Pass came from the kid who's uncle got in...

    What's your scariest moment on a bike

    Damn op.. looks like the tire got caught in the sprocket!!!! Oh and scariest moment... lost the rear on corner entry on my buddy's Monster 1100 EVO, while chasing him on MY R6. Thank god it hooked back up before it was too late.

    Looking for a little passenger help please

    Don't you remember the first couple times?? I don't see how it can be avoided when you're new. I remember when I was in about grade 8.. riding a CT70 down a dirt road with my younger brother on the back. Saw the trail entrance... hammered the brakes and jammed that sweet semi-auto down from 3...

    MotoGP 2015

    I was thinking the opposite a couple years ago when he packed up and went home mid weekend... but I guess he was right! Many people complained of his old manager (I believe that's how the story went, it's been a while..) and here he is, doing better than he could have hoped I'm sure, landing...

    Looking for a little passenger help please

    Wear a crappy helmet the first few times, because you're going to be catching their visor and chin in the back of your head many, many times... :) Your 1st -> 2nd shift will reach ninja skill level during this period.

    How are you guys finding affordable insurace?

    Not to say it is crazy to go to a Diavel, but I would suggest perhaps going to the middle Monster on the way there. Cost of insurance as well as bike will help you there.

    Looks like everyone should go to this instead of Port Dover.

    MotoGP 2015

    Yes that must be the race. I definitely agree with what you're saying on the riding style of Lorenzo as well. That is the part of him as a rider that does make him fun to watch. He is clearly getting better at the press conference, as well. That being said, I hope he wins a couple more...

    MotoGP 2015

    Yes this may very well be the best one we get. Unless next year is even better..... :D But no, seriously I fully agree.

    MotoGP 2015

    Hahaha, good post. That was a dig at JL but not saying Rossi has it guaranteed yet. Even Marquez still has a shot with a crash or minor injury. The season is not half way done yet so nobody has anything guaranteed yet. I am not saying Lorenzo is boring but he doesn't do the races any good in...

    MotoGP 2015

    No, you did by saying you wished he got taken out so that Jorge "can win" this year's WC. I just merely responded to your position. I am far from thinking he has it locked up, but being a fan of the actual racing and not just wanting someone to get taken out to ensure a certain character...

    MotoGP 2015

    So, what you're saying is that you would rather see Lorenzo win by way of default than by actually legitimately winning? Don't worry, once Vale retires he will have a chance.

    MotoGP 2015

    Yes, it is funny for me how things have gone. I started up on Marquez the year he lost to Bradl for the Moto2. Now that he is up against the guy who I thought would be retired by now, I have a conflict of interest. So the Marquez fan wear has not yet been purchased. But it will be, one day...

    motorcycle lapping day removed from TMP july 11

    My buddy is trying to sell me on that. I might. Don't wanna get in the way though.. On street tires still. Never ridden GBM.

    Nobody is going to call you a bandwagon jumper if you abandon MM for Rossi for the next year, or two... :D
