    Is It Time to Leave the Sport? Honestly… I’m Starting to Wonder.

    You must have a lot of daughters... :oops:

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Ah, there's my problem. I coat my bike with slick stuff *AFTER* I crash it. Blood, sweat and tears. Mainly tears. Lots of it... 😭

    Cheapskates Corner

    Akin to the "penny wise, pound foolish" adage. People will spend time and energy to pack a lunch for work instead of eating out, perhaps saving $5-6K a year. Meanwhile they do absolutely no research into the financial fees, interest, taxes and insurance they are currently over-paying on, which...

    Is It Time to Leave the Sport? Honestly… I’m Starting to Wonder.

    It's a common perception that BC as a whole is rainy and dreary, when the reality is that the coastal rains only drench the western slope of the coastal mountains, which only accounts for around 20% of the province. It's like people saying, "Ontario is so crowded and congested, the traffic is...

    Hydraulic Valve Trains

    Well, any tech they stuff into Formula 1 cars and MotoGP bikes probably won't come cheap.

    Hydraulic Valve Trains

    I'm a bit of a metalhead and prefer to Rock On! I'm waiting for pneumatic valves to hit the mainstream. You've heard of V-TEC? Get ready for Pee-TEC! Urine for a revving good time! [insert image of Pee-Strom here]

    Love the Koots. We live 1.5 hours away from that sign! Great on and off-road riding there.

    Is It Time to Leave the Sport? Honestly… I’m Starting to Wonder.

    That's the thing with Artificial Intelligence. It will generate reams of nicely formatted text with bullet points, different font sizes and bold and italic highlights about any topic you want, including why you should quit motorcycles because Zoomers prefer buying a new smartphone every year...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    I call shenanigans. Tell the truth - once you get a bike dirty, you immediately trade it in for a brand new one. My bike has never been that clean, even on day one...

    Anybody need some cellular data?

    I don't believe these are the best deals that PM can do. If you read the not-so-small-print, these plans pad out the data by 20GB for only 6 months, so after the honeymoon period, you're back to paying $45 for 100GB and $40 for 70GB. Currently, I'm at $35 for 60GB, same coverage and minutes as...

    Cheapskates Corner

    My bad. I thought this was the cheapskate's corner. Not the "F-n Food Ballers in this thread" thread... 🤷‍♂️ On my way to the Horological thread to proclaim how I don't wear watches because every device I own has a clock on it already.

    Cheapskates Corner

    Yep, we do that too. Although this probably doesn't qualify for a cheapskate's corner post, we love lamb burgers, but it's literally twice as expensive as pork, so we end up making patties out of a ground lamb and ground pork mix. Pads the burgers out with cheaper meat that doesn't take away...

    Hey Jayv — your wordage expounds on the legitimacy and logicality of the topic at hand. that is an excellent starting point in initiating a meaningful dialogue between two or more conflicted parties. But now — let's explore another angle to this contentious topic. What follows must be...

    Ok, so now we've abruptly moved the topic to AI... @Evoex, please add this to your boat thread, kthx.

    Comm's in helmets

    In my experience, music quality via speakers embedded in the helmet will never match the quality of earbuds. If there's a 3.5mm audio jack in your Sena (there should be), maybe try plugging a pair of IEM (In-Ear Monitors) and listen to audio through that instead of the helmet speakers.

    The discussion of shops closing and has been going on for quite a while. On GTAM, on Reddit, on Facebook. You didn't start the fire. It was always burning since the world was turning. I didn't miss the point of the thread. I'm responding to the tenuous link between your content (shops going...

    Comm's in helmets

    Used to use Sena, now I use Cardo. Compatibility is spotty between vendors, so if you ride with other people with comms, you should either test/research to ensure interoperability, or just buy the same brand as them to make sure they don't talk smack about your riding behind your back during...

    Is It Time to Leave the Sport? Honestly… I’m Starting to Wonder.

    I'm all for that. Forums are a place for human beings to discuss topics. If I wanted an AI's take on things, I would ask ChatGPT myself. I come to GTAM to read what *people* think. Who cares if your spelling is atrocious or you have a poor grandma, at least it's your own take and your own...

    Is It Time to Leave the Sport? Honestly… I’m Starting to Wonder.

    Thread title should be changed to, "Imma let AI tell you why I am rage-quitting motorcycles". Personally, I don't need AI to articulate why *I* am not quitting motorcycles. None of these folks do either...
