Too bad its the Thursday night ride!

Dang. I was looking forward to the empanadas next door the most!

Its very straight forward. No plastic tabs. Just a couple screws into the plastic housing. You end up tearing some sort of super thin black gasket around the sealing edges hence my choice to use rtv. Just unsolder the red and black wires from the battery to the pcb, stick the new one in...

I easily replaced the battery on two of my packtalks. Got an equivalent battery off amazon and it's working great. I silicone RTV'd the edges of the unit when I reassembled it as well.

With a van or truck, you will need ramps if you can't bench press your bike. If the front is locked up, you will need to take the caliper off as well so hope you know what socket/hex it is. CAA is an option. Good Samaritans start to appear the closer to urban civilization you get so if you...

We gonna risk it for the biscuit?

I'm in. The evening opened up!

This is essentially how a snapjack works. There's also clones or similar products available. I've used them in place of rear stands. They are sturdy enough.

Yup, but I think the link is broken. It's the PetroCan. We typically park it by the air compressor pre-ride.

The person I went with to do Racer5 level 1 again last year was already gassed on the morning of day 3 and we had an awesome airbnb. Its hard to be relaxed and confident their first time on track. Come day 3, you're hurting from muscles that have never been stressed before. I got forearm...

Usually there is space. Just check Events - Grand Bend Motorplex to see what other events are running. If it was next weekend for example, the drag strip usually just brings a lot of campers/toy haulers along the drag strip. However, there's the truck show which uses up a lot of the other...

Nope, no electrical for the public. No starbucks but there's a Tims in town. You have a tool battery collection? All the major tool color brands have small inverters.

I love Rev'it and it's now my go-to brand. It's more premium in materials than Alpinestars. A Scandinavian Dianese if you will. That said, this jacket model "Ventra" isn't even listed on their site. Not saying it's counterfeit at all, but its so far down their product catalog (and pricing)...

Only problem with those is that it becomes much harder to kickstand spin your bike. My new one comes with this extra large foot and I can't spin it.

By default, Google maps wants to get you there fastest and thats where you are getting your problems with different results. Google Mymaps lets you plot the route with great detail and then export it as a GPX file. GPX files are precise GPS routes and if you HAVE to go a specific way, it's...

Sorry, I was talking about a couple different bikes here. The tuned ones are SMCRs. I threw in the 2026 Enduro because I had the opportunity to ride it on the dragon with sumo wheels in otherwise stock form a couple weeks ago. The 2026 engines are very different and I'm sure there's nuance...

You have to do a tune on them. The default tune on them is atrocious. The 5k rpm torque dip on the pre-2026 models is insane. The 2026 enduro has a slightly better stock tune at 5k rpm. It's all for emissions and it makes a tune mandatory. I have a 2023 with a full system rottweiler set up...

They really don't like it when you do that. Probably a liability thing. I've seen it actively enforced. This was a buddy at a KTM demo day at Apex. It wasn't just after the ride but also during the ride.

While I do like how the Shads look, Givi is just as good and cheaper.

Most definitely. 3 dropped bikes on that demo ride session. However, I learned nothing about the 1290 GT except how hot it gets while waiting at stop lights.
