I'm surprised the riser helped. You'd think the seat going lower puts you lower relative to the handlebar, and the handlebar riser would put you even lower relative the handlebar. Could you just get rid of the risers altogether, rotate the handlebar back towards you, to give yourself more...

Got it, so not actually "Balance the wheel, before mounting a tire." but rather just find out where the heavy spot on the wheel is.... then balance. Ok, makes more sense, thanks!

...and then balance again?

I mounted my first Michelin with no circle/dot indicated on the sidewall of either side of the tire a couple weeks ago... Not going to lie it felt weird and confusing and concerning... Then the friggen thing balanced pretty quick and easy! I don't know if that's more attributable to the tire...

lol who said anything about telling what speed we're going? When a cop pulls you over and asks "Do you know how fast you were going?" there are only two answers no matter what the speed is. It's either "Fast enough you pulled me over" or "Slow enough you pulled me over" right?

Another thing I suspect many of us never look at it lol

Maybe before you spend your money, try to stop thinking about it like "Am I in gear 1, 2, 3, 4, 5?". The numbers mean nothing. Forget they exist. Try a more simple approach: There are really only 3 gears on any motorcycle. - Too low - Too high - Just right If it's too low, the motor will...

Same. Ordered some givi stuff from Italy, 1 week. Sent my own stuff home from Italy, almost 1 month. Cool cool cool.

I'm jealous, it was always 4+ days for me on tires.

I'm glad you posted that Mac example. Let's play a game called One of these things is not like the other. You notice that your Mac example is 30% off MSRP, right? You also notice that the Sand 4's are also 30% off MSRP on Fortnine and on Revzilla right...

ICON Pursuits from Ali Express, two years of use, maybe 5,000 - 10,000 km max. (as I have 3 other pairs of gloves I use). Notice not just how falling apart they are, but also how they failed in totally different areas from one glove to the next. Thumb and palm nearest the thumb Middle three...

Right... Because when manufacturers do blow out pricing, or an MSRP drop, they only do it with one retailer, and not market-wide... /sarcasm And for some reason, instead of doing blow out pricing with one solitary business, say a motorcycle business that already carries them, like CoMoto, which...

I got a pair of ICON Pursuit gloves from Ali Express. They looked totally real and legit, tags and all. On their own they looked proper. When you put them next to ICON Pursuit gloves sold in store at Studio Cycle, you realized that while labelling and even stitching was the same, material used...

I read this but didn't see the breakdown between Jaguar vs Range Rover as you mentioned: "Profit before tax and exceptional items (“PBT”) was £875 million for Q4, JLR’s tenth consecutive profitable quarter, and £2.5 billion for FY25, the highest profit in a decade" Either way, tata bought the...

Good reference ^

Thank you! I think that speedo came off of a Virago 535. When I was putting it on my shelf the day I replaced it the missus saw me putting it on the shelf and gave me the "Aren't you going to throw that out?" questioning, with the unspoken "It's garbage!" undertone. "Nope, I'm going to need it...

To be clear, Husky was only down 1.2% in 2024 vs 2023. Totally different picture from KTM (down 21%), which is why I'm struggling to follow @guzzirider 's "unprofitable baggage" comment. Sure the volume is less, but if demand is consistent (in fact growing substantially over the past decade)...

No, but in order to get where it wants to go it needs to "compete with itself", or better said, it needs to buy these companies to compete where it otherwise can't. Case in point: How many of us would buy a $12,000 Bajaj? How many of us would buy a $12,000 Husqvarna even if it's owned by...

Props to granny! But I really hate these videos with brand new, soft, clean, just came off the production line tires, in the nice clean, climate controlled environments. I want a video that's like: "This is Joe, and this is his janky 1996 Honda Goldwing with 20,000 km on the original tires...

Just want to add on to the previous responses that I couldn't care less for one... in Canada. Or maybe specifically, here in Ontario. I've had a bike with one. Never used the thing. I don't care to unlearn what's already muscle memory, to learn to something new on one of my motorcycles, that...
