    What's your most neglected maintenance item on your motorcycle?

    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...

    Wheelie Machine

    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...

    How to ignore The Politics Paddock subforum

    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 a chance to ride at a private track!!!

    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...

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

    Motorcycle mistakes I've only made once: Taking off my jacket and putting it on the seat of the bike, with part of it touching the hot exhaust. Forgetting to put the kickstand down, or thinking it's down when it's actually partially retracted, then letting the motorcycle slowly begin its long...

    The No-Tariff Motorcycle Gear Thread

    Saw an online list of American foodstuffs to avoid at the grocery store, and some Canadian alternatives. Here's a list of some non-American brands that we can shop for, if at all possible. I know the motorcycle parts and gear market in Canada is but a drop in the global bucket, but it doesn't...

    In the year 2050, I want to see motorcycling look like this:

    Seeing as how we're at the beginning of a new quarter century, what are your wishes and thoughts for two-wheeled powered travel in another 25 years? Will there be flying motorcycles? Here are some fanciful things I'd like to see in motorcycling: - Lightweight, almost invisible protective...

    2025 might be the Year Of The Deal

    Been reading a lot of material about the decline of motorcycle sales post-COVID, resulting in huge discounts and incentives from manufacturers and dealers. Economic downturn, loan rejections, over-production, repos: And not just KTM either. Although, this is a KTM-specific article...

    FortNine now selling OEM parts from online microfiche

    Just discovered F9 is offering OEM parts for order online. Not sure how pricing is compared to the dealer, but at least it's in CAD and should be cheaper than ordering parts from the US given the recent fall of the Canadian dollar. Not every vendor and model is available, but the big three...

    Am I the only one to own (much) more than one set of motorcycle gear?

    Initially started off with only one street outfit: one helmet + one leather jacket + one set of pants + one pair of street boots. All black, naturally. Leather is very protective, but summer is very hot! So I got into textile + mesh gear. Now I had a hot weather riding outfit and a cold...

    What product do you always go back to? Or change out every time?

    In the sub-culture of ADV/Dual Sport, tire technology has developed quite rapidly over the years, getting the most out of grip and longevity, off-road and on-pavement. In my short time ADVing, I've seen the tire-du-jour go from the Heidenau K60s, to Mitas E-07s and now to the Dunlop Trailmax...

    Made out like a bandit on an Arai Corsair-X!

    Was at the moto store this morning, picking up some parts for the new bike. They were having an end-of-year clearance sale on apparel - up to 50% off selected gear. Saw a nice Corsair-X (RX-7V Evo) 2024 colours on the display stand near the 50% off sign. I jokingly asked if that was half off...
