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.

Very secured plate holder. lol

This was a few weeks ago. I was chilling at a gas station and saw this big group 20+ come in and talked to 2 of them asking what it’s about and it was just a group page. I asked if I can join when they go up but since I don’t know them well I stayed at the far back. What’s crazy is I told myself I would never ride in big groups for reasons of different rider skill levels and this reinforced my reasoning. We made a stop later on and asked if the guy was ok and he said yes and was blaming it on road conditions but on the video the road is completely fine. I actually gave a big gap between us before this incident because on every corner they were counter leaning and significantly slowing down. Also there was another 4 motorcyclist behind me unrelated to the group that’s why I looked to my right. I would have pointed out the skill gap but I don’t know the person well enough and I was not down to get a whole group against me due to unknown egos. They seemed like very nice people though but I don’t want to be that back seat driver but I wish I still let one of the guys know but didn’t. Later on when we kept going I tried to stay in the middle of the pack and break off on a different road because I don’t want to risk seeing an actual crash. My only regret was not letting someone else know and I hope that all the group got home safe.

This thing is a monster.

Guys do you wave ? Why don’t Harley riders wave at me ? Should i wave at scooters ?

What do i do with the helmet ? Should i take it with me ?

Bike won’t start, why ?

Are my tires still good ? - posts a picture with the baldest tires i’ve ever seen.

Random crash video where 90% of the situations could be avoided.

Ironically, despite being a fan of classic-style motorcycles, I had never really had the chance to ride a bike for any decent distance without LED lighting, ABS, or alloy wheels. I had always relied on those and other modern features to feel comfortable on the road—until I got the opportunity to take this V7 Racer III, courtesy of a friend who doesn't use Reddit, up to the Verapaces.

On top of that, I had deliberately avoided racing-style motorcycles out of fear that the riding position would simply be too uncomfortable. To my surprise, though, it wasn't nearly as punishing as I had initially imagined. That said, it did force me to stop more often than usual.

Now, with that being said, once you're sitting on it, there's something about that aggressive riding position that DEMANDS THAT YOU ACCELERATE, show off that red frame on the road, and forget for a moment that there's a world beyond the asphalt opening ahead under the amber glow of that halogen headlight.

At first, the lighting felt insufficient after spending so many years getting my eyes accustomed to LEDs. But as I made my way down the road, the details gradually became clearer, and the warmth of the light gave me a new perspective on what it used to be like—and, in many cases, still is—to travel at night. It meant leaving behind the artificial comfort of the harsh lighting I had relied on for so long and being forced to embrace the softness of the contours and shadows unfolding around us as we passed.

I'm military and had to ship out for a few weeks. I get on the WiFi last night and see my bike is being moved via my tracker app. I had left it on base thinking that nobody would screw with it seeing as we're all in the same situation and such.

I ask someone to go check on it, they don't make it until the next day. And these are the pics they send. Mind you, this thing was spotless when I left.

I'm still not back and am just hoping the dude was wearing some shitty pants or something vs he dropped it.

Sorry for venting but I'm pissed.

I see so many threads about their first fall/crash and i'm really starting to wonder if I get a skewed perspective on how common this is? The attitude in these threads is also like they treat as you will crash serveral times before you get the hang of it. This feels weird to me and of course there's always a risk of an accident but I don't know anyone that has crashed, including my parents and their friends who have been riding for 35 years +.

I want to add that I live in Sweden and they have pretty advanced requirements before you get a license. I don't know if it's more uncommon than I think or if it's because other countries have lighter regulations and thus doesn't give you proper instructions on how to handle your bike in certain situations?

I told them these get stolen all the time and all it takes is 2 guys with a truck and you’ll never see it again.

Rode my favourite route last thursday, the sun was shining and it was real nice... Up until i hit some gravel in a corner and wasnt able to save it, with more skill and experience maybe I could have, but alas.. the damages was apparently too severe so the insurance is paying me out the bike instead of getting it fixed. Rest in pieces..

So, what bike do I get now?

Just picked up bike #7 (plus my fiance's two) so now I have one for every day of the week. It's been a long time since I had a two smoke and rather than get another RZ350 I figured it was time for a proper one this time around. 1986 NS400R built by Terry Shepherd into an NS500 in the late 1980s before being imported from the UK. it's got CBR wheels on it now so it can get modern tires, carbon bodywork and the exhaust have been changed away from the Shepherd expansion chambers to Jolly Moto units.

Can anyone identify this bike? It kinda looks like the tank says "Enfield" but I've not been able to find a royal Enfield that looks like this.

Think this bike is worth 6000 EUR?

I read about pillions, and commonly the woman compromising. Though, in our situation, I am the man and I followed my fiance. She rides since couple years, including track and competitions, and I got bitten by that and ride now as well.

What I wonder though, how many ride with their partner, each on their own bike, and then also how many use an intercom to talk to eachother then?

We personally love the communication aspect. To be able to talk to eachother when riding. Not sure if that is the majority notion here.

Does "bad" rust even exist or am I making that term up??

In what situations wouldn't it be too bad? (it's project/ fixing up)

What term should is search up to find what actual bad vs not so bad rust looks like.

Is this pic bad or not?

This just really confuses me because aren’t they expected to chase someone if needed? Are these guys not provided gear or not allowed to wear it?

First ever bike - 2025 Honda Shadow 750cc - and the owner’s manual said first service is to be done at 600 miles, including a valve inspection. Well, I’m at the 600 mile mark and I called up a bike dealer/mechanic and he quoted me $400 for valve inspection and $350 for oil changes and all the other stuff. I was expecting wayyyy less and I definitely can’t afford $750 right now so what do you guys think of this price and am I being scammed ?

I'm getting good suction. When Im running above idle the fuel will eventually run dry in one of the filter bulbs right before the carburetor then the other. (duel carb) I have the correct petcock and have all the lines attached correctly. What could be causing this. Is it possible the fuel air mix is off and its pulling way to much fuel? It is idleing just fine.

Got the rebel to see if I liked riding. Turns out, I love it. Put 5k miles on it in four months and I’m starting to grow out of it. I don’t regret buying the Rebel, in fact, I wouldn’t be into motorcycles without my Rebel and recommend any beginner starting small then upgrading if you like to ride. I bought the Rebel outright so nothing but equity. Maybe someday I can be in a position to get another cruiser. Any tips with naked bikes? Or are principles and techniques easily translatable to this style of bike?

Also exhaust upgrades? Post yours down below, I can’t stop staring at this photo until I pick it up tomorrow morning.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I write this as a rider who understands that sometimes you just need to open up your street bike and let her stretch her legs a little. And what better time than a Monday evening, when the highways are mostly empty?

But just a PSA: when you're blasting by cars at triple-digit speeds, just be aware that those cars don't see you coming. Even if they're doing everything right checking their mirrors, checking their blind spots, being good citizens if you're passing them at 150 mph, you are effectively invisible until it's too late.

I was driving home last night, probably doing 65, in the middle lane, with a car just behind me in the left lane. Suddenly, like a bullet, a bike came through right between us. I don't know if he actually lane-split or if it was more of a tight pass, but whatever it was, I heard the sound, which did startle me. Then I saw his taillight, and he was gone.

If I had been switching lanes for some reason, or even just drifted in my lane I would have never seen him coming. He didn't pause behind me long enough to assess whether I was about to make a lane change. He just went straight for it like it was a video game.

There is no judgment in this post. I get it. It's a choice you make. In that split second, the risk is part of the adrenaline just as much as the speed. I'm not going to get on a high horse and lecture someone about speeding or riding aggressively. I'd be a hypocrite if I did.

But as his taillight disappeared into the night, I wondered: was he aware of the risk he was taking in that one moment? Or did he feel in control of a situation that he actually maybe wasn't in control of?
