NIN doing the soundtrack makes so much sense and rules. not huge on jaret leto though.

i've had a gt650 for a few years which is essentially the same engine but the bear is tuned for slightly more torque i believe. had to get the bike replaced after about 2 weeks (bought brand new) due to supposed cylinder failure. warranty covered it. i've yet to hear this happen to anyone else...

one day im just gonna try one of the cheap aliexpress carplay options like this that just pairs with your phone. you get the benefit of google maps data without risking your phone. that being said, i've mounted my phones for years (used ram x mount and now quadlock with vibe dampener) as my...

the 650 is a sweet, gentle engine. optimally i'd love to see 65'ish hp for their street bikes (i have the GT650), but i dunno if RE will ever leave that 'global' segment of limited 48hp to appease A2 learners permits for a long while. there are rumblings of a 750cc incoming.

i dunno! i imagine its just the nature of a mobile, indoor road show, especially one thats only a few days long. we went to hall 5 around 2:45'ish and were 2nd in line for the 3pm start.

ok just came back from the show. The Wall of Death was pretty sweet!

dont suppose anyones seen the newer bell lithium helmet around the show? havent been able to see it at any online retailers in canada at least. its basically the replacement for the budget bell qualifier helmet.

i loved the stretch in california / nevada and want to do some riding in arizona etc. rode in portugal this past fall and japan before that. i definitely want to head back to japan. REGURAA!!!

i'm probably one of the few to actually look at bikes but also because the crowd i used to ride with...NONE of them ride anymore lol. or at least aren't active enough to care about bike shows.

more people ride motorcycles in california than all of canada. registered bikes in california in 2023: 936,809. registered bikes in canada in 2023: 813,723. that canada number actually dropped from when there was a slight rise in motorcyclists during the height of the pandemic (819,418 in...

just got back from duoro valley. it was a lot more tiring than i thought it'd be! gorgeous area and glad i got a chance to explore it for a short time. got chased by dogs. some of the speed limits definitely did not make sense to me. the few other vehicles on the road i met are all...

this is pretty cool actually. gonna sign up.

Havent actually seen any in a while. the one on Albert St is definitely gone. So is the one that used to be on Victoria St. Tried to find it today. The official list from the city hasn't been updated since 2018 so I'm guessing the whole thing has been abandoned?

wtf is going on with truck drivers? are they just poorly trained now? i think every cyclist thats died this year has been from some form of truck.

you dont need an IDL in the US if you have a canadian license. but you definitely need at least an m2 to rent a bike there from most places though. seems more sensible to just get the m2 test over with before going on any moto trip.
