    Do you carry basic accident benefits coverage, or do you top up?

    Just thought I'd do a little survey to see who carries what for coverage. My (not riding related) head injury last year was an eye opener about how fast things can change with something as simple as a hit on the head. So, this year I decided this year to jack up all my "accident benefits"...

    Anyone know what happened to motorcycleroads.com?

    It was one of my go-to websites when plotting some rides to areas I wouldn't normally ride in and might not be super familiar with, but for at least a few days now, perhaps up to a week or so, it's been down, just spitting out an error.

    "Canada sucks" crusaders move to Russia, find out Canada wasn't so bad after all.

    Who's camped on the James Bay Road?

    Plans for this summers trip with 2 good riding buddies is well underway. If plans go as currently laid out, we'll be going in early June, mainly in an attempt to beat any forest fires that ended up causing a scratch on our trip last summer. The only thing that may change this is if the...

    The first $100 oil change.

    Doing some preemptive work for the upcoming season on the new ride today - also drawing out an oil sample to send to Blackstone just to get some insight. Holy hell Rotella T6 is getting expensive. Yeah, I'm using the good stuff all around (full syn and a Mobil 1 filter, the only other...

    Squid does squid things, can't help but brag on social media. Karma ensues.

    The w*rd filter.

    Ok, we're all adults here. I think many of us use some level of profanity on a daily basis, certianly online as part of our discussions in some circumstances where a certain level of strengh in a phrase is necessary. IE: - MaxxWrist is an *******. - YammyNewb is a self absorbed **** up and...

    The "Are you thinking of a new bike for 2024?" discussion thread.

    Surely I'm not alone? It's around this time of year that I think lots of us have the time to sit back and contemplate the riding year(s) past, and the years ahead, and also start thinking about about a new (or additional) ride being in the cards. The "new years riding resolutions" thread...

    Lost a good friend while he was riding in Australia.

    Kevin was a hard core endurance rider who lived for big miles and zen-time behind the handlebars with the wind in his face. I rode quite a lot of miles with him over the years, including my first ever Iron Butt ride, and the news from his wife on Facebook yesterday afternoon is still sinking...

    How many crashes before Sunday evening?

    Anyone want to take a bet on the tally of crashes / deaths? I’m in Toronto right now for a specialists appointment. On just the trip here I saw no less than 5 bikes on the 401 riding like complete and total goons, and 2 or 3 in the city in full squid mode, although at least the city riders...

    Satellite communicators/beacons - who has one?

    Splinter discussion from another thread: https://www.gtamotorcycle.com/xf/threads/switching-mobile-phone-service-carriers.217581/page-4#post-2882823 If my trip up to James Bay goes off later this summer one of the topics amongst those on the trip is staying in touch with family, and emergency...

    Things that motorcycles don't have, but spyders do....

    My wife's spyder needed a ball joint. Decided that if one was going bad, chances are all 4 weren't likely far behind, so, yeah. After having all the parts in a pile in the garage for a month now I finally got my brain sorted out enough (post concussion syndrome is kicking my ass, ugh)...

    Looks like Cardo is jumping on the "subscribe for features" bandwagon.

    FFS. And the unit itself isn't significantly cheaper than their existing hardware that already has basically all of the "platinum plan" features to begin with.

    Any Spyder owners here? On the hunt for my wife.

    Hoping I will be well enough to ride this coming season (that's another story, concussion recovery) but my wife has decided she wants to go from 2 wheels to 3, so we are on the hunt for a Spyder, probably an RT. We are working on a fairly tight budget (Can't justify 20-30+K for a machine she...

    Personal injury lawyer recommendation.

    Anyone got any referrals based on actual "I did business with them" experience? What were your results? Not really interested in all the usual "I heard them advertised on the radio/TV" usuals, Diamond & Diamond etc etc. Thanks.

    Totally off topic: Anyone interested in a group purchase of LifePo4 cells?

    I'm looking to build a mega Lithium Iron Phosphate battery bank for our camper. I want to eliminate the need for running our generator for overnights while boondocking while still being able to run our little 2200BTU air conditioner overnight for sleeping, charge my laptop, run the electric...

    Has anyone seen ToSlow?

    We'd been talking in PM's about something and I wanted to get ahold of him to move forward on the plan....but it appears he hasn't been on since spring, and he's not reading PM's either.

    Who's still riding? Fall & Winter 2022 (& 2023!) edition!

    It's that time again. Went out yesterday with a bunch of friends for a 450km loop up north (but we intentionally avoided Algonquin) to catch the tail end of the fall colours. I suspect this will be the last big ride of the year for me at least, barring some unexpectedly warm weather -...
