    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.

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

    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...

    WSBK provisional entry lists

    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?

    Smart watches

    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:

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

    Who's Still Riding? - 2025/2026 Edition

    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."

    Share your fondest memory of motorcycling

    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...

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

    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...

    Pro 6 Cycle closing the storefront

    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...

    Would you buy a demo bike ?

    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*...

    Thinking of trading my V-Strom 650XT for the new Himalayan 450 – need your thoughts!

    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...

    Would you buy a demo bike ?

    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!
