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!

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...

If you don't want race results spoiled, please wait until you catch up with the latest races before opening this thread! Let's discuss the 2025 season here. Who's your pick to win the championship? Will Ducati dominate again, despite opting to run the old 2024 engine for their factory team...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
