I was told on May 26th that mine has arrived in Canada....but I’m still waiting 😞

Mugello is an interesting place! Maybe it’s changed....I haven’t been since 2018 to be fair.

Well....maybe that’s what they’re supposed to do.... 😂

Grandstand? Poggio Secco obviously! Assuming VR is still racing. It’s actually in a pretty good spot. Start finish is a bit boring to be honest. I would also suggest booking the Scarperia spot. At least you’ll save on daily parking at the circuit.

I was smart enough to have a feeling that was going to happen, so booked an agriturismo as backup and sure enough.... I tried it again another year just for giggles and it was also cancelled. I have not stayed in Florence, but I can tell you the traffic is insane, and the police will randomly...

If you’re interested in some info, DM me. I’ve been a few times and can certainly provide tips. Tip #1 - DO NOT book on Airbnb. You might think you found a good deal, but once the owner realizes when the GP is happening (they should know already lol), they will cancel your booking and rent it...

Heard that BMW shipments land in Halifax, so the backup in Montreal shouldn’t be an issue. 🤞🏻

Does the owner really have an Instagram username on the tires?!?

Not COVID exclusively....more like a perfect storm of issues. These are unprecedented times (COVID alone lol). https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-16/shortage-of-new-shipping-containers-adds-to-global-trade-turmoil

I’m waiting. The issue is the shipping container shortage apparently. It sounds like there are now some bikes on the way over, so hopefully we will get our bikes soon (and dealers will actually have some to sell!). My delivery was supposed to be May but has moved to late May/early June. BMW are...

Well, guess I might reconsider the S1000XR then lol ?

Only as a 950 apparently. The 19” front isn’t appealing to me, but doubtful it would actually make much difference as far as my real world riding.

I did hear rumours of people who have had multiple replacement sets fail :(

Wonder if Peak is taking over KTM sales for that area? Really wish we had a dealer closer to the city!

I’ve had a couple (640 Duke, 560SMC, 1190 Adv), but none of them long enough to have a real opinion on reliability). The Duke had a weepy banjo bolt that the original dealer couldn’t seem to diagnose/fix, but I ended up taking it to another dealer that had a less than stellar reputation and they...

Yeah my issue is the closest/best option for KTM service (not so much where to buy). I’m not dead set on KTM either, although I do like their bikes. I’ve been completely loyal to GP, but a recent experience has put me off. Will be considering other options in the spring, so doing some research...

Would definitely consider Apex, but given I’m in Toronto the distance for service is less than ideal. Strange that we have a Husqvarna dealer closer than a KTM dealer!

The Ready website shows a couple 2020s, and they’re listed as a dealer on the KTM website.

Edit: looks like Hayes Lemmerz are not the same Hayes?

Interesting. I heard a rumour that the switch was due to Brembo refusing to brand as BMW. Even if they’re owned by a Brembo subsidiary they don’t promote it, which is odd. https://www.roadracingworld.com/news/shops-hayes-performance-systems/ They’re also a 2 piece design from what I hear? I...
