Working on my packing list for our trip out west in a few weeks. I have a lot of packing lists from previous trips but each trip tends to be a little different, and this one is no different in that once I get out west on my solo leg, I'll be meeting my wife in Edmonton and we'll be riding 2up...

It's my wife and I's 25'th Anniversary this coming June. Originally we'd planned to take off for an Alaska cruise for a week to celebrate, but the whole US thing squashed that. And since walking away from that idea, we've got nothing firm in mind alternately to celebrate this big milestone...

Interesting stuff going on, 3D printing is now possible in metal to the point where even things like cylinder heads are possible, so it would seem that any metal or plastic part would be able to be reproduced now. Certainly makes owning an old motorcycle where some parts are now unobtainable...

Honda has a cult following for a lot of their bikes, especially a classic still brand new in it's crate. https://www.rideapart.com/news/757655/honda-dirt-bike-80000-dollars-crate-cr500r/

https://maps.carol.rent Planning a long trip and want to know what the speed limits are where you're travelling as well as other info related to how many lanes, dirt vs asphalt, etc? This is a great tool. Also has a fuel availability hotspot feature for spot long stretches without gas...

Curious if I'm alone on this. It's been a ****** winter for getting sick for me. Unexplained (probably viral) general malaise, flu like in some cases, but never seems to have all the "yeah, it's the flu" symptoms so I'm not sure WTF is going on. Twice so far this winter, first time a...

For those who have ridden in BC, if you had to map a route starting in Edmonton and ending in Calgary, aside from the obvious route through Jasper on the way west and the obvious route through Banff on the way back east (to make a loop out of it, pictured below), what other roads in BC would you...

For those who are still using Tapatalk to access GTAM, I have a question - have you tried visiting the forum in your mobile browser instead? www.gtamotorcycle.com The mobile version of the site is full featured and when accessed on a mobile device, feeds a specific mobile friendly version...

Plans to go back to WV again this summer are rapidly becoming less appealing with the batshittery going on south of the border right now - both the overall political climate, as well as my willingness as a proud Canadian who is being sh!t on right now to actually spend a dime of my tourist money...

Found a similar thread on another forum I'm on that was fun. If you were to write a letter to your manufacturer of choice about whatever is on your mind about your bike, past, present, or whatever is bike related, what would it say? I'm sure actually writing a letter and sending it to them...

Theoretical situation: You have 6 weeks off work with lots of flexibility and no job security worries. You have a comfortable budget that allows you to enjoy yourself without worrying about how much you're spending. You have the ability to ship your motorcycle anywhere in the world and travel...

From the discussion in another thread. Discuss any reality shows or YouTubers you watched past or present. Which ones do you think are fake as hell, and why, and which ones do you think are mostly legit? We’ve concluded in that other thread that Itchyboots is 99% legit, so let’s not revisit...

Friend bought a bike a few years ago with Dragon stickers already on it. He's been to the dragon but was going to remove them until he actually had that *particular* bike down there which didn't happen for a year or so. He didn't feel like he had earned the privilege of displaying it. When I...

Do you just listen to the wind? Do you listen to music? Audiobooks? Podcasts? Do you just sing in your head and do drum solos on your fuel tank when stopped at a light?

Our current reality. And quite possibly our reality for a good portion of summer 2025. Today we spotted the first "Canadian Dollar At Par" special again with one of the cruise lines, and I expect to see the same with other US tourism-dependent places, so that's something, but no matter how...

Just thought it would make for an interesting discussion. As per the title, do you save hard for retirement at the expense of living your life quite the way you wish you could currently, or do you spend a lot now at the expense of later, knowing that tomorrow is never guaranteed? I used to...

I just saw it happen again in a FB group a few days ago where someone posted a story about how they nearly got in a wreck because they couldn't stop after being distracted for a split second and then looked up to find a car stopping rapidly in front of him at a red light. Locked the rear...

Yep, that time of year again for the annual "Who's still riding" thread. I haven't been out in a week or so, but up until our big temperature shift last week it was still quite enjoyable. But definitely noticed a huge drop off in bikes in the last 7 days, with a brief blip last Friday for...

Dumbassery checklist: 1/ Riding on shoulder because impatient. In a construction zone nonetheless. 2/ First rider can't handle some bumps in the road without just effectively falling off the bike before the bike was even really out of control 3/ Rider behind way too close for road conditions...

From another thread....a few years ago myself and 2 riding buddies went and did an advanced rider course with Motorcycle Masters. Learned great new skills, part of the day was high speed maneuvering and evasive maneuver skill building, but a lot of the day focused on low speed skills. As I...
