Alberta is getting closer to leaving Canada. So is Saskatchewan and so is Quebec.
This is the result of a poor disconnected Liberal government that has for a decade turned their heads to provinical growth and concerns.

Deals: Talks stalled on Stryker combat vehicles, Javelin missiles, and a $3.6B Boeing aircraft package.
Trip: Defense Minister Rajnath Singh canceled his Washington visit meant to seal the deals.
Leverage: Although, India hinted it might cut Russian oil imports if the US offers similar prices.
Denial: India’s defense ministry called reports of the freeze “false and fabricated,” but insiders say there’s “no forward movement.” So is it canceled or just paused?

In the U.S., over 60,000 unsold motorcycles have sat in dealerships for nearly a year. Entry-level models now start near $10,000, and touring bikes often exceed $30,000, pricing out many riders. Financing costs have surged, and default rates are climbing, leading to a flood of repossessed bikes in the used market. This economic pressure has reshaped buying behavior, pushing riders toward used motorcycles and customization as a more affordable and expressive alternative.
What Riders Are Buying and Riding
Despite the broader market slump, certain models are defying the odds. Riders are gravitating toward value-packed, performance-oriented bikes that deliver excitement without breaking the bank. High-demand models in 2025 include:
Kawasaki Z650 – Over 20,000 units sold in five months; praised for its $6,100 price and 67-hp engine
Honda Rebel 1100T – A 48% sales increase, especially among touring riders and women
Suzuki V-Strom 800DE – Popular among adventure riders for its off-road capability
Indian Scout Rogue – Customization-friendly and powered by a new 1250cc engine
Harley-Davidson Nightster – Attracting younger riders with modern performance and styling
These bikes reflect a shift in rider priorities: performance, affordability, and customization potential. Riders are no longer chasing prestige — they’re chasing value and individuality
The motorcycle modification market, which includes both cosmetic and performance enhancements, is valued at $1.79 billion in 2025, with expectations to reach $3.49 billion by 2033. This growth is driven by:
Rising costs of new motorcycles
A desire for personalization and uniqueness
Expanding availability of aftermarket parts
Cultural influences from social media and custom bike shows
Custom builders like Roland Sands Design, Revival Cycles, and Ironwood Motorcycles are leading the charge, offering bespoke builds and kits that cater to riders who want more than what the factory offers.
New vs. Used: A Market in Transition
The divide between new and used motorcycle buyers is widening. While manufacturers push high-tech, high-cost models, many riders are opting for used bikes that offer financial freedom and emotional flexibility. A 2008 Triumph Sprint ST, for example, can be purchased for under $2,500, compared to $14,000+ for a new touring bike — and still delivers comparable performance and touring capability.
Used bikes also allow riders to ride without fear — of scratches, depreciation, or finance company penalties. This freedom is fueling a renaissance in DIY customization and grassroots performance builds.
Conclusion: A Market Redefined by Riders
In 2025, the motorcycle industry is no longer defined by manufacturers — it’s defined by riders. While OEMs struggle with unsold inventory and declining margins, the performance custom market is thriving, driven by creativity, community, and cost-consciousness. Riders are rejecting the premium price of new motorcycles in favor of used machines they can make their own.
This shift isn’t just a trend — it’s a transformation. And it’s reshaping the future of motorcycling from the ground up.

The U.S. military may join Israel's strikes against Iran's nuclear program, and the main target would be Tehran's key enrichment plant.
President Trump is reportedly considering that option, as he also called for Iran's unconditional surrender. In response, Iran's supreme leader said, "The battle begins."
The president met with his national security team to discuss Iran and spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Two U.S. officials told Axios that Netanyahu and the Israeli defense establishment believe Trump will likely get involved in the war in the days ahead.
How to fix the Dyna Death Wobble!
If you own a Dyna, or know someone who does, it's pretty likely that you've heard of the infamous, "Dyna Death Wobble". This can be scary for riders, new and experienced alike. In this blog, we'll go over what it is, how it's caused, and what you can do to fix it!
What is the Dyna death wobble?
There are a few names for this daunting occurrence, such as, death wobble or speed wobbles. Essentially, this is when there is a rapid oscillation of the front end or rear end of the motorcycle.
Why does the Dyna experience this worse than other models?
This is due to the swingarm mount design on the Dyna's. The Swing arm uses a pivot shaft through the transmission case only and has no support through the frame. This causes excessive movement of the entire driveline and pivoting of the swingarm. The driveline/engine and swingarm are all connected and essentially floating on two rubber mounts. This puts a lot of strain on the rubber mounts.
How can you stabilize your driveline?
In our opinion the best way to help stabilize your driveline and help reduce the chance of wobbling is by using a Sputhe Chassis Stabilizer Kit! This bolt on kit includes linkages that attach the engine mounts to the frame. These linkages will eliminate side to side movement however still allow for up and down movement so the engine mounts can still dampen vibration. You will also now be able to adjust the driveline alignment horizontally with the included front linkage. This kit will also help increase the engine mounts lifespan as they are no longer fighting the side to side or twisting action of the swingarm. Check out the product's page for more details.
Other factors that can cause wobbling
On the simpler side, you'd be surprised but something little as a pre-trip inspection can prevent these speed wobbles! The key things to look during your pre-trip inspection for are the tread and PSI on your tires. Your tires are what connect you and your bike to the road, so it's safe to say they're pretty important.
Tire tread and condition: If you find that your tires have poor tread or are starting to wear unevenly, this can lead to an inferior riding experience and leave you more prone to a front end wobble. Tire pressure: Your tire pressure is just as important! A good practice is to monitor your tire pressure and see that it's at the manufacturer recommended specification. Not only will this help with the longevity of your tires, but with the quality of your ride as well. If your tires are off by as little as 10 PSI, you'd be surprised just how differently it rides that if it were at spec.
Tire age: This will also play a big role in handling and over all ride quality. Old tires will become hard and more slippery. The harder rubber can increase ride vibration and decrease tire grip. A general rule of thumb for the motorcycle industry is to replace tires older than 5 years. The 4 digit date code is found circled on the side wall of your tire. The format is weeks then years (2823 for example would be 28th week of 2023). A new set of tires can drastically improve the overall ride quality of a bike.
One the more technical side, two other culprits are driveline alignment and steering head bearing adjustment. These are often forgotten about or not often performed as they are more laborsome however these play a huge role in stability.
Driveline alignment: Ensuring your driveline is aligned will help your motorcycle track straight down the road. Most Harley models have one or two adjustable engine mount linkages. One on the front of the engine and one at the top of the engine. Note Dynas only have a top mounted linkage. These can be adjusted to vertically and horizontally move the driveline. Being that the driveline is connected to the swingarm, this allows the rear wheel to be aligned to the front wheel. There are many ways to check alignment however most require special tools. If you'd prefer to have professional check and adjust your driveline, please reach out to our service department. Steering head bearings: Proper bearing maintenance and adjustment is crucial as it can cause two different wobbles if incorrect or neglected. If the bearings are too tight, the bike will not be able to absorb a wobble and will transfer it rearward. Tight bearings can be caused simply by over torqueing the steering stem or a lack a lubrication due to age or road grime. If the bearings are too loose, the motorcycle will not be able to recover from a wobble and will progressively become worse in the front end. Loose bearings are typically caused by excessive wear. Performing a "fall away" test also requires some special tools as well as a motorcycle jack. Our service department can also help you with this.

While there are a few more areas to check for handling issues (suspension, wind shield/fairing, wheel sizes, etc) we discussed the bigger culprits in this article. We hope this helps and has shine some light on any issues you may be experiencing.
The concept of an advanced pre-Egyptian civilization, existing before the well-documented dynastic periods of ancient Egypt, is supported by the advanced technological features of sites like the Osireion, Zawyet el Aryan, the Serapeum of Saqqara, and many others. this lost civilization might have had a profound understanding of astronomy, engineering, and mathematics, far beyond what was typical for the time.
Evidence suggested includes the alignment of the Giza pyramids with the stars of Orion's Belt, hinting at sophisticated astronomical knowledge, and the remarkable precision in the construction of these pyramids, suggesting advanced architectural and engineering techniques.
Additionally, there are discussions about the potential use of advanced tools and methods for cutting and transporting massive stone blocks, which would require a level of technology not conventionally attributed to the ancient Egyptians of the well-known dynastic periods.
Pre-Egyptian Technology Left By an Advanced Civilization That Disappeared.
