    TMP track day July 1, 2018 lunch break

    This little guy was ripping up and down the pit area all morning. When we stopped for lunch he was out doing a few laps with his dad. So awesome! Put a huge smile on everyone's face. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lSuTIFaG8wE Sent from my SGH-M919V using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

    Hit to H-D by India because of Trump's trade war

    More bad news, in today's Washington Post: “If Trump’s trade policies are leading an iconic company like Harley-Davidson to move production out of the United States, then who exactly is benefiting?” “This will pose a real challenge to the president’s core claim that his policies will lead...

    Track Riders Who Quit Street

    My ZX6R doubles as a daily commuter and track bike. At the begining of the season I replace the coolant with distilled water and a bit of Water Wetter. My track prep then takes about 15 minutes: 1) mirrors off 2) unplug front/rear lights (quicker than pulling seat to pull out the fuses) 3) tape...

    What's your dream production bike? (Practical, or totally impractical?)

    Beautiful. It's about time they made something like this. Sent from my SGH-M919V using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

    Track Riders Who Quit Street

    I pursue both vigorously and can't imagine a riding season without one or the other. Street riding makes the daily commute bearable and is ALWAYS preferrable to sitting in a car/truck or public transit, in my opinion, even if you get stuck in a bit of traffic. Plan your routes, be flexible...

    Not just motorcycle riders are in danger of cagers / idiots

    Large urban centers, complete with their gridlocked transit systems, overpopulation, polution/noise and lack of green spaces, are increasingly becoming the least desireable places to live and work. Public transit systems are inadequate and roads are strained (here in Toronto) in part because...

    OP, it's people like YOU that escalate SS bike insurance rates for all of us responsible riders here in Ontario. Sent from my SGH-M919V using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

    Does anyone own a ZX10-R?

    You don't see any ZX10R's on the street because they're incredibly hard to find for sale used, particularly 4th gen (2011-15) and 5th gen (2016- ). Pound for pound it's the best overall litre bike available in my opinion. Sent from my SGH-M919V using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

    Sport Bike Riders Oddly Missing

    The pace in the groups I was riding was consistenly 10 - 20 over the posted limit. Not exactly spirited but certainly not 'parade like'. Whatever..who cares. When I want fast I go to the track. These are group rides on public roads riding with ppl you don't know, so I take it easy. After getting...

    Sport Bike Riders Oddly Missing

    This past Saturday I joined one of my Harley riding buddies at the 'Ride For Dad' (ridefordad.ca/torontowest) in Oakville. The event raises funds to support prostate cancer research -- a great cause -- now in its 12th year. It was a great day with over 175kms of riding and meeting lots of other...

    First Look@ Yamaha Niken

    Very strange looking. Curious, who Yamaha are targeting with this product. Couch potatoes? People intimidated by conventional 2-wheel motorcycles? Sent from my SGH-M919V using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

    Heat = more squids

    Full gear on the street ALWAYS. Only exception: track day, riding from my pit area to scrutineering. LOL Sent from my [device_name] using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

    Anyone having second thoughts regarding motorcycling in general ?

    Citing marijuana laws, increased cell phone use, and bad drivers as compelling reasons to stop riding is, I'm afraid, a ridiculously lame argument. Come on. Really. You can just as easily be killed walking down the the street like one of the 10 unlucky souls up at Yonge and Finch. Why let fear...

    Lorenzo To Suzuki?

    This seems like a logical move. Let's be honest, Lorenzo's performance at Ducati, to date, has been a complete disaster. He had much better results at Yamaha. Sent from my [device_name] using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

    Flashing ecus, who does this?

    In Toronto, try Champion Cycle (Weston Rd. north of St. Clair Ave.), Rider's Choice (Dixie Rd. + Queensway), or Pro 6 Cycle (Kipling Ave. + North Queen). Sent from my [device_name] using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

    Track days, lawyers and lawsuits

    This is a fascinating story with potentially huge repercussions for club racers and track day riders. If you watch the footage of Daniel Kim's crash (here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DsnDOOk33RY ) he is clearly off the racing line and could have been avoided. A series of sandbags 6ft or...
