Thanks for sharing this! I can't recommend this product enough. My wife, being super thoughtful, got me a pair after the foamy orange disposable earplugs kept popping out of one ear for no reason, which defeated the noise reduction purpose. I also tried another model, but the earplugs were way...

Welcome to GTAM! I used to have a '22 Grey TS660, and it was such a great bike. If you're thinking about adding crash bars sometime, I've got a set of used Givi ones that I can let go for a decent price.

Yup, just as JC says. In my case, they didn't have this model in stock at any nearby dealerships; the nearest store with stock was Oakville. There was a $75 shipping fee in addition to the bike's price, whether shipped to my place or the nearest Trek dealership. If I had decided to buy it from...

Finally pulled the trigger and picked up this bad boy. It ended up being the cheapest brand-new bike I could find from a major brand in a frame size that actually fits my height. It’s a leftover 2022/2023 model, and from what I’ve read online, it has some budget components due to the COVID-era...

I understand that we are talking about different markets, but I would definitely own a CF Moto if I was still living in Mexico. I got super excited about their 500cc inline-4. Also their v4 1000cc prototype looks promising. CFMoto are cheap over there offering a really good value proposition...

Thanks everyone for all the insights and suggestions. Genuinely appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts. I’ll put this project on hold until the snow clears and I can get back to working on the bike properly. Once I dig into it again, I’ll post an update in case it’s helpful for...

Today, I attempted to change the oil on the Monster, but unfortunately, my bad luck with oil changes continues. I found some metal shavings on the magnet; two of them were fairly large and circular. Do you have any thoughts on that? Additionally, during the last oil change I did, I noticed...

I've been thinking of getting one of these as my winter beater. It would definitely look ridiculous with my 58lts Givi topcase... but I enjoy the foolishness

So far, here’s a summary of the launches that have caught my eye (I haven’t watched everything — just what YouTube and Reddit have been feeding me). Norton Manx R V3R 900 E-Compressor Prototype Saving the best for last. YELLOW Official Ducatis.

Just yesterday, I went out for a quick ride to make up for the three weeks I missed. Got briefly stuck in a traffic jam and started feeling the heat on my butt after just a few minutes; and it was only 5°C outside! Outrageous! But any annoyance disappeared when a little kid and her mom asked me...

Poor you! I can only imagine how tough it must be riding that gorgeous bike. 😉

FTFY You are absolutely right. In my ignorant opinion, Oaxacan food is the best Mexican food.

Yes, sir 😞 Still holding it down in the East End! I’ll be back in the first few days of November, but you’re all more than welcome to visit. We can go for a ride around here. No straight roads in sight!

East side, best side. Come and enjoy the good life
