It's really not a question of if, but when, how often and how bad.

Usually take my car to Downtown Lexus but would be happy to find a good independent mechanic. Haven't had any particular issues with DL and they're very close to where I live, but I'd be willing to give an independent a look.

When I was a kid my Mom took on us on a road trip to Chicago. I was maybe 8, my sister 7 and my brother 3. This was in the days where seat belts weren't mandatory and kids were untethered. Behind us we can see a LONG procession of motorcycles, probably over 100 long. It turns out it was an...

I plan to have Giovanni do my Desmo in the spring. He will drive to where you are. I talked to him when I was looking at a Multistrada and he seemed very nice, was very helpful, and his prices seemed fair. Since the bike was 7 hours away, I had the sales guy do a walk around video, start the...

I could be wrong but I think this might have been the guy, if the name in the news was correct.

I think shows should consider offering discounts on admission to families. I brought my two sons just for the heck of it and something to do - they ride dirt bikes but aren't *really* into it, so weren't sure if they wanted to go. At $25 per head, it'd be easy to see people deciding not to...

That's terrible. I hope the guy's OK. I believe the guy is the owner of the company doing the stunts. It's not hard to imagine someone getting seriously hurt. I saw their show at 5:30 on Saturday evening. My kids were antsy and wanted to leave but had huge smiles on their faces when the...

Couldn’t they figure out a way to make it accessible to more people? Say a tiered platform? We lined up Saturday afternoon but by the time we got to the steps it was pretty clear we weren’t going to see much so we bailed.

I'm sorry I missed you again too. I saw the Sharp Rider booth, I figured you were both connected since I think the canopies had both names on it, but didn't see anyone there either. I wanted to thank GTAM in person for putting together such a great community. Well, thank you!

They were ! They had an Interceptor, Katana and (I think) a Ninja from the early-mid 80s - three of my favourite bikes ever.

Went to the show today with my two sons. The rep measured my head and said I should be in a small as well, but when I put it on it was clearly not a fit - the helmet sat too high on my head for my ears to fit in the recesses or the lid to close properly. He also did mention the different...

$1055 OTD seemed too low (vs 1242 OTD), but the math checks out. GP offers 15% off to OFTR members, and I vastly prefer shopping there over Rider's Choice - way too much attitude in the latter for my taste. I'm interested in the E2 since some reviews seem to suggest it's a C5 with a peak...

What kind of deals on apparel and helmets might there be? I’m in the market for a Schuberth C5 and need a touring or ADV style jacket as the zippers on mine melted together . Or maybe a Ducati jacket I saw at a dealer that I can’t get out of my mind.

Ugh. That’s silly. I did flip through their FB page but it seemed far from definitive and not sure if my favorite shoeshine guy or sausage maker is on Facebook.

Is there no listing of vendors on the show website? I looked and couldn’t find one but thought that couldn’t be possibly right.

Good on you. The most principled stands are the ones that cost us.

I have no problem with the notion of paying tolls, but I refuse to take the 407. Infrastructure like that should not be privately held and the exorbitant tolls charged relative to other jurisdictions effectively points to a two-tiered system with huge differences in those two tiers. It was...

A friend of mine had his master bedroom done in one of those makeover shows where two couples redo each others rooms. The furniture that looked good on screen was just really poorly slapped together plywood with coats of paint on the sides that showed. They had the couple do a little painting...

I went in February of 2017 because we had tickets to Hawaii bought and paid for well in advance and my wife and kids would have left me. I was not happy about it and went kicking and screaming but made it clear I would not be travelling with them to or through the US for the next four years...

I am not going to the US for the foreseeable future. Perhaps ever. And this pains me as a person who once truly believed it was the greatest country on earth.
