Ok, so I’ve put the bike away for the winter. I know sometime during the winter, the conditions will be perfect for me to install the battery, crank it up and take it for a boot. It will be premature and will have to park it for a while. Now the tank is half full. Will I just leave the...

Oh oh oh, I’ll start with something completely unimpressive. I have a Ferrington electric acoustic that looks similar to a Kramer. I’ve had many guitars that are worth more but, this one was given to me as a present and will never part with it. And funny enough, it isn’t good at being...

Doesn’t matter what bike I add to the stable, I’ve got to “make it better”. It’s near the end of the season for many of us. I know there are year rounders etc. For me, I’m doing little things to keep comfortable during cooler temps. Installed a windshield which does a great job at highway...

Anyone participate this year? I know GTAM supports ride for sight. Have to say this was my first time and quite enjoyed it. Hundreds of countries participated around the globe on the same day raising funds for men’s health. Niagara Region raised over $9k

When scouting out potential machines to acquire, what is your “floor” budget? Pay the seller a price, have your trusty shop safety it and it’s good to go. No extras required. Turn the key and ride. You got your gear and insurance and good to go. What is your ideal strike price? Back...

Wtf? Such a tease! What are the planning to release?

Ok folks, I got a home camera system with Blink and find it’s pretty good. Wondering what GTAM folks are using for their cages? Thinking front and rear cams would be ideal but, not sure about cost and install? The home stuff is pretty slick. Lord knows I’ve seen my share of tomfoolery...

Talking to a couple of small independent shop operators and the new government process to safety a motorcycle goes into effect January 2025. Equipment expense aside, the work involved for the tech/mechanic to follow is going to drive up costs. Will that make that “cheap” used bike less...

We’ve got a thread bashing the current government and there is some back and forth on some opposing views. Let’s sling some mud at the next possible federal representatives if there is an election. I understand why the conservatives haven’t released a platform. However, the cynical side...

Ok folks. When we bought our house, it already had a Rainfresh system. A double filter thingy under the kitchen sink for drinking water and another single job down at the meter. Looking at replacement filters, it is $42 for one under the kitchen, $29 for the one by the meter and the ceramic...

Alright braintrust of GTAM, a fellow motorcyclist has expressed interest in trading their 2007 BMW R1200S for my Buell S3T. Like most things, I dismissed it but like an itch needing a scratch I started thinking about it some more. Took the Buell out for a ride today and have it sorted...

When I sold my Buell, I regretted it immediately as I watched it ride away a few years ago. Well, I got another and it’s better in every way. I’m the 3rd owner and it’s been well take care of. I’ll be looking for you folks out on the road the rest of the season. With stops for ice cream...

Coming out of NoTL, a motorcycle so ugly only it’s owner could love, gave my Step Son and I an enthusiastic thumbs up. We were in the MGB. We gets waves from other vintage vehicles etc but, it was a first from a motorcyclist. I know he hails from the tri city area so, not sure if he made it...

After sharing a listing in the reasonably priced bikes thread, I made an inquiry and struck a deal. Not stock or winning any prizes but, it’s a good runner and well cared for. Will post pics when I bring it home. Missed two wheels for too long. Pic is from the listing. Sent from...

Looking to avoid dropping big bucks on something. Wife and I enjoy the commercial equipment at Good Life but, that’s been out for a while. We have space for it. So many different makes, how do you choose? Fitness Depot will be glad to take our money. I’d rather buy from someone that doesn’t...

Save jobs or do it yourself? Wife hates them. Told her I used to have a paper route and they don’t exist anymore. I don’t see the sense in waiting in line to have someone stand there and swipe purchases, take payment and hand me a receipt. I’d rather the store have knowledgeable employees...

Been to Vegas before. Read the other threads of folks renting and riding. Most appear to go down in March. I’m there for a work gig and have an open day to myself. A little nervous booking in advance and finding the conditions less than favourable. Anyone rent a bike on the same day...

Well gang, I’m out of motorcycling indefinitely. Could return sometime down the road and not making any bold predictions about the future. So I’m going the old man route and picked up MGB to bomb around the country side with my wife and don’t have to gear up. Will miss leaning but will...
