    Husqvarna Svartpilen 801 thoughts

    I disagree with this a lot. As a 790 Duke owner, the number of times I hear about the styling being the deal breaker is just ad nauseam. KTM styling is styling only an owner can love. Meanwhile, any of the city huskys are something I turn my nose up to as hipster wannabes. The brand...

    Quick Shifter

    Quick Shifter? Not worth it. Clutchless upshift is just as fast and more or less the same movements. On a ride by wire bike, it's a crime for it to not come included. Factory Auto-Blipper? Worth it's weight in gold for any spirited riding. Useless if you have time to count to 3.

    Every Thursday Group ride. Steels and finacial dr Mississauga

    That's too bad. I have nothing happening tomorrow. If you do decide something, let me know!

    Recommendations for welding/fabrication shop

    There are business models like sendcutsend.com but I'm not familiar with any Canadian alternatives. Of course, you'd still need to weld what can't be bent, but I'm sure a crappy weld job is much cheaper than a cheap fabricator. They are great as long as you can do CAD/get someone to convert...

    A frugal comms set up...

    I don't think the current version of GTAM would be talking about motorcycles at all.

    A frugal comms set up...

    This solution wouldn't work well in a motorcycle application. One of the biggest use cases for comms in a ride is immediacy of urgent communication. (ex: gravel in the corner, pothole/roadkill in left track, ******* is tailgating us, cop, etc...). Can't do that fast and safe enough with PTT...

    Motorcycle mistakes you only make once... and ones you make all the time...

    This happens most when I get distracted by others. Whether it be keys, ear plugs, helmet strap, etc etc. To fix it, I had to turn it into a routine, almost like a sacred ritual.

    GTAM Off Season Go Kart + Dinner Meetup

    Oh man. Peter's Reuben is fantastic but messy. Can't do 3-5 as it's Refresher training that day.

    Muffler Material

    The gains aren't from materials but from intake + exhaust + cat delete + ecu reflash as a whole. If you aren't doing all 4, then its just cosmetic. Pick the one that makes your eyes more happy. Better yet, pick the one that sounds better as that's usually the whole point of an aftermarket...

    Cruzing through the states! And maybe Mexico?

    Incorrect interpretation. It really means all vehicles that could be subject to registration in California. There's also an accompanying clause CVC4000 that goes over what vehicles are allowed on public roads which makes them subject to registration. Basically, they've specifically phrased it...

    2025 KTM 390 SMC R

    Current generation stock 690 in mode 1 is sleepy, and that might be what you rode Relax. Mode 2 stock isn't that much better but its more responsive and lets you slide a little. With some tuning, the engine becomes an on-off switch in the best way, crank it from any throttle position and it...

    Got stickers from places like the dragon? Do they go with the bike, or go with the rider?

    Both. Same bike + same rider. Different rider or different bike, you gotta take it through the gap first. For me, I put the stickers on the inside of the van. Don't have the space and it'd look ugly on the bike. I don't put it on the outside of the van as for the irrational fear that it'll give...

    New cell phone feature

    I think its crazy that they built it in. There's still several major US States that are all party consent. Maybe there was recent legal precedent set that made the manufacturer not liable for facilitating the illegal action. The general trend in call centers is to place even higher emphasis on...

    Insta360

    It depends on if it is optical image stabilization or digital image stabilization. Most phones use a combination of OIS and DIS these days. In the original smart phone days, DIS was literally just shooting at full megapixels and then cropping the picture based on the stationary pixels. The...

    Insta360

    I tried my hand in moto vlogging early on. 2 things. Ontario roads suck when you look at it on a timeline. When you sit there staring wondering how much footage you should keep and realize the 'Smiles per mile' is atrociously low. And, you can only film so many times the same road if you are...
