Always amazed at how often people trade in their bikes. If you trade in your bike every 12 months or less, what is the reason? Boredom? Want to try something new? Or do you discover little irks that just make the bike unsuitable for ownership? If you finally had to sell your long-termer? What...

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!

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...

If anyone is shopping around for OBD tools to reset service lights, program keys, turn on/off options in the ECU, OBDStar is having a Black Friday sale. Depending on the model, 25-35% off. https://www.obdstarstore.com/wholesale/motorcycle-scanner/ Just picked up a Ducati scan tool for...

I don't think I've ever impulse-bought a vehicle. Gestation time from, "that looks interesting" till the time it's parked in my garage is generally 6-18 months. Shortest time would be a bike that I'm replacing with the next version. Sold my R1200GS because it was getting long in the tooth, and...

As expected, with Ducati's release of their new Euro5+ compliant L-twin slowly making its way into their line-up, the new powerplant is going to show up next in 2026 in the next iteration of the Hypermotard. A German magazine leaked some spyshots of a prototype on the streets...

Yeah, yeah, barring all the smart-guy comments about: wife, kids, boss, other interests, your bike breaks down often because it's a Harley/KTM, poor tank range, can't afford insurance/gas/etc. I'm talking about physically. I figure most of us on GTAM are of the age where the mechanicals between...

Over the weekend, Neda's bike suffered a broken fan out on the trails in Ottawa but we managed to limp it back to Toronto to source a new one. On Tuesday morning, we ordered the fan from one of the Husky dealers in town, Studio Cycle, and they said the part would arrive in 3-5 days. The fan...

Just passed a blue naked motorcycle lying on its side loaded on a flatbed truck 1:25pm. Hope the rider is ok!

I currently have a MS Surface Book 2 from almost a decade ago which is getting a bit long in the tooth. Primarily looking for something with more horsepower for video editing. I'm finding the 360 videos are growing in resolution and file size so it's super slow to edit and render. Also, I do a...

We're currently riding some trails around the Ottawa area and Neda's bike's started overheating, probably due to the 40°C temps we've been riding in. We limped the bike to a motel and called the closest Husky dealership which was in Orleans just east of the city. When we told them we were from...

So I see that @shanekingsley has posted up one of his legendary rides: [url unfurl=true]https://www.gtamotorcycle.com/xf/threads/monday-aug-4-lunch-in-calabogie.233072/[/url] I text Shane, "Can we meet up at 10AM instead? I'm not much of an early riser" Shane: "Whut?!? Fine." When I roll in...

Saw this question online, thought some of the responses were good - stuff that doesn't even pop up on my radar like spoke tension... Other good ones: fork seals, suspension, spark plugs. I'm on top of most regular maintenance like chain (tension and clean/lube), oil, air filter, tires (tread...

I'm pretty good at clutch-up wheelies to pop the front up over logs and rocks, and I can chase a power wheelie down as good as the next guy (who also chases power wheelies). Also, I've looped several wheelies while motoring up hill climbs, had to bench press the bike off my chest more than a few...

You can effectively ignore "The Politics Paddock" subforum by marking it as "read" and setting the read date far into the future. Because this is a hack, it only affects the "New posts" link, not the "What's new" link. "What's New" will still show Politics Paddock posts. You can still go...

Got the track bug bad when I rented a bike at Phillip Island last year. There's an amazing track just an hour and a half from where we live, but unfortunately, it's a private track with membership fees of $50,000 and annual dues of $4000. Too rich for my blood. However, the facility does rent...

15% off, plus whatever currency exchange savings, as the USD is slipping against the CAD. Reckless 80 was $1900 CAD at the Vancouver motorcycle show in January Today it's $1487 CAD, over $400 cheaper! https://moskomoto.com/

This is a movie that I'm anxiously awaiting. The lightcycle scenes looking ah-mazing!
