We took our two oldest grandsons, (13 & 16) to this. It was their first ever motorcycle show. We haven’t been for 6 or 7 years. After over 4 decades of shows we were burned out. It was interesting seeing it thru the eyes of a couple of teenagers. They loved the MX show and seeing all the...

Not mine but... I did find my wife's first Monster for sale on-line back in 2016. An M600 Metallic that the new owner bought for his wife but for one reason or another he ended up riding it. He says the 600 motor developed a head/valve issue so he had installed a 750 in it's place. All the OEM...

Not the first Auzzie V8. Check out the Drysdale V8. https://www.odd-bike.com/2013/01/drysdale-v8-homebrew-aussie-eight.html

Re: The sticker on the back of my GT750... My Brampton Cycle story is very similar but with a different ending. Two of my racing buddies and I drove up to Brampton Cycle with cash in hand to buy three new motorcycles. My one friend and I both wanted the brand new Ducati 916. Our other friend...

They had a north store as well. That's where their warehouse was located.

One word, balaclava! I was full on Rock Star/Lumber Jack back in the day. Always wore, ( still wear) an under helmet balaclava to keep everything in place. Nothing worse than combing out wind whipped tangles. Plus, it help keeps your helmet’s interior clean and fresh. Back in the day.

Yes, use ethanol free gas. Also have your local Ducati Dealer run the VIN to see what service/warranty work has been done. Your bike may have had the tank changed already. Draining the tank and stuffing cheese cloth in the open filler over the winter seems to help "dry out" water logged tanks.

Chris, has the 796 had the fuel tank replaced/upgraded? The plastic tanks are known to swell due to Ethanol fuel usage. The wife’s 2011 796 has this problem as well as having had bad front rotors. They warped with less than 6k on the bike and she is a grandmother, NOT a performance rider nor...

2017 F3 RC appears to be the same only with Motul sponsorship in place of AMG. http://www.mvagusta.com/en/discover-mv/news/new-mv-agusta-f3-rc/

I have a good friend who lives in the south west corner of Alberta just a five minute drive from the BC border. He loves it out there but won’t bother with a street bike. Its 1C and snowing right now while we’re enjoying a bright warm sunny day. It's also expensive for basics like food and clothing.

That dealer has been running the same ad (on multiple sites) ever since the AMG Solar Beam concept came out. An MV Agusta dot net member from the GTA placed a deposit on one as soon as it was announced as a limited edition model. He recently received a letter stating the bike was not going to be...

Don’t be fooled like I was. The most entertainment you’ll get is trying to keep track of all the blunders and fluffs. The story is soooo transparent that even Stevie Wonder would be able to see right through it. I swear I could have written a better screen play when I was 8 years old. The real...

No it's not. That distinction goes to a little known low budget flick called Race for Glory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuYXCcBFcoE&feature=youtu.be

What a you saying, that the sun is setting on MV????

The photos of the 2016 MY do show black engines but... The F3 in both 675 and the 800 have always been available in Red/Silver. http://www.mvagusta.com/en/motorcycles/f3-675/ http://www.mvagusta.com/en/motorcycles/f3-800/

If that were true then why would MV Agusta Canada have bothered with a display at the Montreal show????

If you’ve sat on a M696 and liked it then it’s easy to make a M796 feel the same. Replace the rear shock upper mounting bracket on the 796 with one from a 696. That will drop the rear about 3/8 to 1/2 of an inch. Then slide the front tubes up the same amount and it’s lowered. You can also get a...

Putting your sarcasm aside, if I had not pushed as hard as I did to get my bike’s problems corrected MV Agusta owners would likely still be doing the Dealer to Tim to Italy back to Tim back to the Dealer shuffle. Some may think I’m exaggerating but it took five weeks (during prime riding...
