    Motorcycle mistakes you only make once... and ones you make all the time...

    This happens most when I get distracted by others. Whether it be keys, ear plugs, helmet strap, etc etc. To fix it, I had to turn it into a routine, almost like a sacred ritual.

    GTAM Off Season Go Kart + Dinner Meetup

    Oh man. Peter's Reuben is fantastic but messy. Can't do 3-5 as it's Refresher training that day.

    Muffler Material

    The gains aren't from materials but from intake + exhaust + cat delete + ecu reflash as a whole. If you aren't doing all 4, then its just cosmetic. Pick the one that makes your eyes more happy. Better yet, pick the one that sounds better as that's usually the whole point of an aftermarket...

    Cruzing through the states! And maybe Mexico?

    Incorrect interpretation. It really means all vehicles that could be subject to registration in California. There's also an accompanying clause CVC4000 that goes over what vehicles are allowed on public roads which makes them subject to registration. Basically, they've specifically phrased it...

    2025 KTM 390 SMC R

    Current generation stock 690 in mode 1 is sleepy, and that might be what you rode Relax. Mode 2 stock isn't that much better but its more responsive and lets you slide a little. With some tuning, the engine becomes an on-off switch in the best way, crank it from any throttle position and it...

    Got stickers from places like the dragon? Do they go with the bike, or go with the rider?

    Both. Same bike + same rider. Different rider or different bike, you gotta take it through the gap first. For me, I put the stickers on the inside of the van. Don't have the space and it'd look ugly on the bike. I don't put it on the outside of the van as for the irrational fear that it'll give...

    New cell phone feature

    I think its crazy that they built it in. There's still several major US States that are all party consent. Maybe there was recent legal precedent set that made the manufacturer not liable for facilitating the illegal action. The general trend in call centers is to place even higher emphasis on...

    Insta360

    It depends on if it is optical image stabilization or digital image stabilization. Most phones use a combination of OIS and DIS these days. In the original smart phone days, DIS was literally just shooting at full megapixels and then cropping the picture based on the stationary pixels. The...

    Insta360

    I tried my hand in moto vlogging early on. 2 things. Ontario roads suck when you look at it on a timeline. When you sit there staring wondering how much footage you should keep and realize the 'Smiles per mile' is atrociously low. And, you can only film so many times the same road if you are...

    KTM's Parent Company Isn't Doing Hot, Shifting More Production to China and India

    Duke - 990/790 The 790 brought back makes sense. CFMoto released the 800NK this year with the exact same engine, frame and componentry. The 790 re-release is essentially a parts bin resurrection. Also, the non-R 890 vs 790 was silly but there's 'enough' differences between the 990 and the 790...

    Is this accurate?

    Can't say for the western side of the continent, but of the states I've been too, it looks mostly right. Its really talking about technicalities of the laws on the books. I've talked to some people from PA about it before and it got really heated with their interpretation of it. Most other...

    Q: Did watching racing on Sunday sell you a bike on Monday?

    Yes, but not when I could afford it. When I could afford it, nope, not what I wanted anymore. Just imagine if that statement was for a motorcycle in Ontario when you are early 20's so you can't get insurance for it either (supersport liter bike).

    EBC brakes

    On my KTM 790 duke, I had the ebc HH sintered pads put on when I swapped to galfer rotors due to the OEM rotors warping. That was at around 10,000km. I'm at 54,000km and i'll be swapping out the pads this winter. There's still meat on the pads but not much.

    2025 Yamaha YZF-R1 And YZF-R1M

    Probably costs as much to design and manufacture the blanking plates for the missing winglets as it costs to include the winglets anyways. The blurb says the R1 is getting carbon fibre winglets too so its probably the exact same part number. And yeah, homologation reasons are the only reason...

    EBC brakes

    HH Sintered is very nice for the price. Very good initial bite and good enough life. For street use, including spirited riding you will not have any complaints. You may end up needing more brake cleaner though.

    Where do you guys go for new tires?

    Man, must not have noticed this in my mastercraft beginner mechanic's set. Let me check it again, maybe its tucked away next to the 22mm https://fortnine.ca/en/bikeservice-ducati-wheel-nut-impact-socket-bse05551 Even better is when you check the torque specs required. 320ft lbs on that thin...

    Where do you guys go for new tires?

    Depends on what kind of bike you have. You should see what he did to the nut of a ducati multistrada rear axle (single sided swingarm). Probably was a pipe wrench on the narrow nut slipping off a dozen times. Then again, when I noticed the damage, I asked the owner of the bike why in god's...
