I saw this video on Instagram and the crash was completely caused by her own stupid mistake. Yet somehow a bunch of people on her profile are blaming the car instead of admitting what actually happened.
She then restricted the comments so only positive comments are allowed, basically shutting down anyone who points out her mistake.
This is exactly the kind of attitude that has no place on a motorcycle. If you can’t take responsibility for your own mistakes, learn from them, and accept criticism, you have no business riding.
People like this should never own a motorcycle.

You can ride perfectly and still get hit by someone staring at their phone. Watch your mirrors and always leave yourself an escape path. Stay safe out there.

I mean... If it works for you, Yamaha...

Just sharing a quick shot of my Honda RVF400 here in Korea. Nice to meet you

So I grew up on dirt bikes, had my first 700cc Sport bike at 17 ripping around Los Angeles traffic, rode more dirt bikes, and eventually built a Custom Harley in my late 20s riding around Boston. Then I sold everything, went back to school got married, had kids, kids are now older. No bikes for 25 years.

I’ve never had a motorcycle endorsement so for giggles I just took the MSF course as a bucket list item and aced it so I did the next natural thing.

I’m picking up new Sportster S that is 900 miles away. I can have it shipped or for the same cash as shipping, ride it home over the course of 2-3 days. Am I crazy?

I’m honestly a little nervous about rigs on two lane highways now but probably just because it’s been years since I’ve done it. My route is very site seeing friendly with options to jump on state highways if i wanted or avoid them with near paralleling routes for large portions.

Should i just have it shipped and get re acquainted with motorcycles and a new bike at a easy pace or rip it off and go all easy rider with nothing but a set of racing leathers a helmet and a backpack for 2-3 days?

Oh, and I’ve never ridden a Sportster S so I have no idea how taxing a day on it will be.

Thoughts?

Got offered a 2009 GS500 as a trade on FBM for a $700 PC I was selling. Has 13k miles, clean title and matching VIN. I have some small engine experiance (I own a 1998 Seadoo SPX jetski, been working on that with a friend helping me), and have basic tools (a good socket set, and hand tools like pliers, vice grips, some box wrenches, plastic razors, etc). I could borrow a more powerful tool from a friend if I really need to, or buy it myself.

Some info he sent me: The previous owner more than likely has dropped it as a scratches on both sides, the carbs would have to be synced, and it would need a new rear tire, I plan on doing both, but I’m really either trying to get a PC or a different bike. The bars are good, I'm the one who put them on, and it does not steer uneven.

I asked about the carb sync and he said "you can hear it", and "Idles smooth and and there isn’t too much vibration besides the type you get from having a combustion engine between your legs, but nothing excessive". Based on a quick search it does not seem hard to do a carb sync, but it is possible the carbs need to be rebuilt/cleaned."

I attached one video of the bike running, will comment with some photos, and will update when he sends over the close ups of the "scratches on both sides".

I'm mainly wondering about value, can i rip it around for a bit, then sell in the spring/summer for $1000+? What would be the value on it? How much $$ do you think I'd have to put into it? Id have to bring it to a shop for the tire to be installed and balanced.

Thanks so much in advance.

my boss is selling me a 2005 Suzuki GXSR 1000 with 10,480 miles for 6k. He does maintenance even without riding. I feel like it’s a good deal but I’ve only ridden 300cc bikes would it be a dumb choice to make?

The box I purchased is a 55L top case that I got on eBay. I’m able to fit my XL Shoei RF-1400 with a Sena 10c EVO attached, a 3XL Alpinestars Andes Air Drystar jacket, a 40 ounce Hydroflask water bottle, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and gloves fit in the pocket on the lid. I hope this helps anyone who finds this who is looking into getting a case for their bike.

I watched alot of videos and learned you have to fully commit. I was really nervous since the Penske trucks are so tall.

Finally finished this scrambler build, AI used for colour enhancement, picture is original, taken in Bol, Brač, Croatia.

2005 Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 classic.

Just cross posting here in case y’all have any ideas.

I know they are very different bikes, but the price points are close enough for me to consider the comparison. I've had a KLX250 dual sport which I loved, my only complaint was a lack of power. I also owned a hoopty CBR600 which I wasn't a fan of, I hate the sport bike position and didn't like the weight or sharp headtube angle. I love the standard riding position, and only plan on riding a short suburban commute to work and riding to family's house 45 minutes away taking backroads only. I may want to add a rack for small packages, but that's it. No mods planned, I just want a cheap reliable bike that handles great and will be a little fun on country backroads. I know I love the dual sport/super moto's, but I have also been curious about the SV650 for years. Please share your opinion, especially from those that have had/ridden both.
