    2025/26 winter motorcycle projects?

    I've ordered a pile of parts for my new to me 500 exc-f. Supermoto wheels are likely my next expensive purchase. Piles of "chinesium" ali and NiceCnc parts... protection bits. Gearing changes. I rode it around in the snow today. Should be a fun wr250x replacement. If my wr was 10hp more, and...

    2025/26 winter motorcycle projects?

    I'm cleaning up the linkage on my wr250x. I have it listed for sale, as I recently bought its replacement; a ktm 500 exc-f. Unlikely to sell at this time of year. Better market in the spring. Wr is indestructible, but I drank the orange kool-aid and had a lust for more power and lighter weight...

    2025/26 winter motorcycle projects?

    Much better to be working in a heated shop... I freeze my hands off in a 10x10 shed I built years back. Space heater can take the chill out, but you're picking up ice cold tools... and working on a frozen bike. Sent from my SM-S921W using Tapatalk

    Its modding season! What project bikes are keeping you sane? Who's working on what? Who else is ordering piles of parts? Sent from my SM-S921W using Tapatalk

    How long do you keep your motorcycles?

    Right tool for the job. If I had the space, I'd keep them all... well, most. I'm back at 4. 4.5 if I consider the pile of parts in my shed... that used to be a bike. Always another project. Sent from my SM-S921W using Tapatalk

    How long do you keep your motorcycles?

    Proper single-track dirtbike? With lots of ground clearance and a high seat? I kid, I kid... Sent from my SM-S921W using Tapatalk

    How long do you keep your motorcycles?

    Depends if I like the bike or not. Ive bought projects that were "other people's problems". Fixed them. Rode them. Sold, or traded for something else if the opportunity arose. Its just a machine. We all have wandering eyes when it comes to bikes. Can't ride 'em all. If I had more storage...

    Hydraulic Valve Trains

    You're thinking of the NC750. I agree with your assessment. It was awful. I test rode one at the Mosport Superbike Double-Header in the mid to late 2000's.l, or early 2010's. Commuter bike POS. Like you said, as soon as it started making a tiny bit of power, SMACK... rev-limiter... at like...

    Who's Still Riding? - 2025/2026 Edition

    Was out on Sunday. Rained on and off. Conditions were challenging. Street bike has been tucked away since the first week of November. Dual sport is getting some maintenance. Linkage bearings, regrease the swingarm bearings, and a general clean-up. Sent from my SM-S921W using Tapatalk

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    Perhaps not stupidly priced, but pretty dumb to show himself roasting the tire off this Tuono, at redline, bouncing off the limiter... in his for sale add. Clutch doesn't seem too happy... Cool bro. https://www.facebook.com/share/1BPZX1wTuQ/ Sent from my SM-S921W using Tapatalk

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    How about a new head? Or valve seals? Or a boneyard low km motor. Just sayin'. No need to change the oil, just top it off. It burns it like a 2 stroke! Sent from my SM-S921W using Tapatalk

    Anyone else becoming more reclusive?

    You know gtam is social media, right? Mild compared to Facebook... Its good to take a break from it every once and a while. I rode alot this year. Dirt and street. It was a good season. Ive got some crossover friends between each discipline, but mostly two well defined groups. One trip to...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Clutch swap on my str675r. Wasn't slipping yet, but was near the end of the cables allowable adjustment (clutch side and lever). Some steel plates looked a little burnt. Then an oil change. Hopefully it feels a bot more snappy, and I get one more ride before it gets stored. Sent from my...

    Yup. Felt like a torquey dirtbike couch. Your bike, when I took it out, at the Gap overlook. Sent from my SM-S921W using Tapatalk

    Considering a second bike

    765 at double my insurance cost. 675 is the sweet spot. Sent from my SM-S921W using Tapatalk

    Considering a second bike

    I'm similar. Around the $600 mark, full coverage on my 2014 Street triple 675r. Jumping up to a 765 street triple would have doubled the insurance... apparently they are "sport bikes", but my 675 is not. Td Meloche Monnex Sent from my SM-S921W using Tapatalk
