Motorcycle mistakes I've only made once: Taking off my jacket and putting it on the seat of the bike, with part of it touching the hot exhaust. Forgetting to put the kickstand down, or thinking it's down when it's actually partially retracted, then letting the motorcycle slowly begin its long...

If you don't want race results spoiled, please wait until you catch up with the latest races before opening this thread! Let's discuss the 2025 season here. Who's your pick to win the championship? Will Ducati dominate again, despite opting to run the old 2024 engine for their factory team...

Saw an online list of American foodstuffs to avoid at the grocery store, and some Canadian alternatives. Here's a list of some non-American brands that we can shop for, if at all possible. I know the motorcycle parts and gear market in Canada is but a drop in the global bucket, but it doesn't...

Seeing as how we're at the beginning of a new quarter century, what are your wishes and thoughts for two-wheeled powered travel in another 25 years? Will there be flying motorcycles? Here are some fanciful things I'd like to see in motorcycling: - Lightweight, almost invisible protective...

Been reading a lot of material about the decline of motorcycle sales post-COVID, resulting in huge discounts and incentives from manufacturers and dealers. Economic downturn, loan rejections, over-production, repos: And not just KTM either. Although, this is a KTM-specific article...

Just discovered F9 is offering OEM parts for order online. Not sure how pricing is compared to the dealer, but at least it's in CAD and should be cheaper than ordering parts from the US given the recent fall of the Canadian dollar. Not every vendor and model is available, but the big three...

Initially started off with only one street outfit: one helmet + one leather jacket + one set of pants + one pair of street boots. All black, naturally. Leather is very protective, but summer is very hot! So I got into textile + mesh gear. Now I had a hot weather riding outfit and a cold...

In the sub-culture of ADV/Dual Sport, tire technology has developed quite rapidly over the years, getting the most out of grip and longevity, off-road and on-pavement. In my short time ADVing, I've seen the tire-du-jour go from the Heidenau K60s, to Mitas E-07s and now to the Dunlop Trailmax...

I just went to lcbo.com and got this: Is this an Ontario thing where you gotta line up for everything now? Do we need to get @PrivatePilot to upgrade their servers too?

Got this email today: Hello pervert, I've sent this message from your Microsoft account. I want to inform you about a very bad situation for you. However, you can benefit from it, if you will act wisеly. Have you heard of Pegasus? This is a spyware program that installs on computers and...

If you choose to, please elaborate where you started riding? City or rural? Course or taught by friend/family?

Was at the moto store this morning, picking up some parts for the new bike. They were having an end-of-year clearance sale on apparel - up to 50% off selected gear. Saw a nice Corsair-X (RX-7V Evo) 2024 colours on the display stand near the 50% off sign. I jokingly asked if that was half off...

Waiting on some crash bars to come in so I can go for some snow rides!!! 🤪 😁🥶🤪

The common mantra being, "Race on Sunday, Sell on Monday". It's not a secret that my favorite bike of all time is the Xerox Ducati 999R. A large part of it due to cheering on Troy Bayliss throughout his WSBK return in 2006, winning the WC on the 999R and then the Xerox-clad 1098R. I've...

Decat? Obviously, no...

Took my 1250GS in for some warranty work, and while I was waiting, the sales manager threw the keys for a 2024 F900GS at me, "take it out for a spin, let me know what you think". Cool! Not sure if I was allowed to take the bike off the pavement or not, but better to beg forgiveness than ask...

Even better, how many race wins and titles between all of them? 🤪 Freebie: the guy in the front is Jacquemus.

Prompt: low angle shot candid photography of MotoGP championship at Sepang International Circuit Other than the overflowing grid on the first pic, I'm not that impressed.
