Barring injury, the 2026 championship looks pretty much wrapped up even before the season begins... Biggest question is, who will come second? And how many rounds will it take for Bulega to clinch the WC?

Ahhhhh... now I realize why older relatives always used to give me socks and sweaters for Christmas... Also, this thread is giving me, "We have smartwatches at home" vibes:

Welp, less than 16 hours after the last picture was taken: Time to put the studded tires on! 🤪

Ironic how a Rage-Quit post quickly morphed into a group love letter to motorcycling. Nicely done!

Sorry to hear, @V-Tom! GWS!

Surprised there hasn't been a thread posted up yet! Still slightly above freezing here. Still riding! Post up all your late-fall/winter/early-spring rides!

Yes! I think I know the member you're talking about. But you're misremembering his tag line. It's actually, "You can have any curry you want, unless you don't want it to burn you twice."

Fortnine has a pre-BF sale, they say they are adding more discounts as the week goes by. https://fortnine.ca/en/black-friday-canada So far:

Lots of doom and gloom on here, especially with the PMS (Parked Motorcycle Syndrome) season looming large ahead of us, so instead of all that noise: What's your fondest memory of riding (or owning) motorcycles? I have too many to just choose one, but recently, this came up on my memories feed...

I love this because it's so true. If you're an introvert, that in-your-helmet time where nobody can call you or tap you on the shoulder is your sanctuary away from the frantic world of taxes, bills and bosses. If you're an extrovert, attending a motorcycle meet or group ride and chatting with...

Must've been a long time ago. The vast majority of Motorrad stores I know of are part of multi-line dealerships. Maybe a couple are still stand-alone, but they're now the exception rather than the norm. Times change. Demographics shrink. You gotta do what you gotta do to survive, even if means...

It's not just squidly behaviour that leads to the abuse of demo bikes. On one demo ride, the guy ahead of me was constantly dumping the clutch on every downshift. The poor motorcycle would be bucking towards every stop. The whole time I was thinking, "Damn... I wouldn't want to be buying *that*...

Negatory. They discontinued the Funduro around 2000. Wife's first (real) bike was a 2004 F650CS Scarver, with the engine that came after the Funduro. 2004 was the first year of the twin-spark for smoother throttle response and better fuel economy. She put ~65,000 kms the two years she owned...

Two questions: 1) When did they start putting Panigale V4Rs into demo fleets? 2) Can I ride it when you buy it? thx in advance!

I think if the dealer knows or trusts you, they will let you take out a demo bike unchaperoned. At least that was the case about ~10 years ago at Maranello BMW when I wanted to test ride a Multistrada trade-in they had on the floor. Salesguy peeked at the R1200GS Adventure parked outside and...

It depends on the bike. Treat the process like you were buying a used bike and do your normal due diligence in checking everything like you would a pre-owned vehicle. Previous owners can be just as abusive and neglectful to their toys as demo-riders are.

I chuckled a bit at this. You may not know the motley crew of characters on GTAM very well yet, but FYI, one out of every two users here owns a V-Strom. You should actually have asked:

The tools have evolved to more than just uploading a map for a tune. Today, all sorts of features are managed by the ECU. The current batch of OBD scanners can change and enable things like heated grips and auxiliary lights in the menu system of your bike's computer. They can also add or delete...

Depends on your make, model and year. These tools aren't universal. The functionality on the scan tools are bike-specific and require custom code if you want to access or program a recent model-year bike. As a result, the custom code is provided on a subscription basis if you are in the habit...

If anyone is shopping around for OBD tools to reset service lights, program keys, turn on/off options in the ECU, OBDStar is having a Black Friday sale. Depending on the model, 25-35% off. https://www.obdstarstore.com/wholesale/motorcycle-scanner/ Just picked up a Ducati scan tool for...
