    Re-sole Motorcycle Boots

    Any recommendations for a cobbler who would do motorcycle boots? In specific, I have two pairs of Alpinestars SMX6v1's that are perfectly good except for the heels (foot out sumo!) and rather than chucking the two pairs of otherwise perfectly fine boots in the trash. I'm sure the soles could...

    Portable solar chargers for phones laptops ect

    Many laptops can just take USB C (specifically USB C-PD (power delivery)) and no longer require an AC charger. Most motorcycles are 12v power so it'd be DC to DC for many types of battery banks that support 12v charging. USB C-PD is up to 20v5a which is 100w, far exceeding a motorcycle's...

    Comm's in helmets

    It's actually due to the limitations of bluetooth over distance. Pillion distance is about as good as bluetooth gets for real time comms. You would think to compare it to bluetooth at home on a bluetooth speaker, but the Bluetooth A2DP protocol is designed with built in buffering (think how...

    Portable solar chargers for phones laptops ect

    I'd recommend an SAE (the ones you see on battery tender lead) to USB adapter. If you want to take the extra step, you can also do SAE to Cigarette Lighter socket and a cigarette lighter socket to USB adapter. Of course, you'll have to be careful not to drain your bike battery. There are lots...

    North American International Motorcycle Supershow - Jan 9-11, 2026

    The show is essentially moto social but with vendors instead of bikes. It is as much or as little as you value face time amongst friends and acquaintances. Especially in the winter season, it's great to meet up with faces you may not have seen since the last ride of the year. With GP Bikes...

    princessauto motorcycle lift $301 until Monday Dec 15

    Why does the ad look like that with the image just superimposed? Also, the product sku on the site doesn't show that price. https://www.princessauto.com/en/1000-lb-motorcycle-lift/product/PA0008880239

    Phone Scammers

    It's a lot more complicated than that. You should see how affordable a sim farm is these days. They also don't usually hit you with a link in the first message. It's usually something that if just blocked, could impact legitimate conversation. "Hi" or "Hello" or "Can we chat?" or "Got a...

    How long do you keep your motorcycles?

    I would have at least one of every discipline of motorcycling. I try to do enough types of varied riding that there does become the right tool for the job. Would you have a: Supermoto for iron butt? Cruiser for single track? Supersport for downtown rush hour? But as to selling, if I could keep...

    How long do you keep your motorcycles?

    I'd never sell a single one..... if insurance wasn't the way it was. But it is and thats a whole different story.

    Comm's in helmets

    I've spent enough on reusable earplugs that I should have just got custom ones. Hopefully there is a booth this year at the shows. I wear earplugs and I have a Packtalk that I use to talk to others with. For normal street use, I'd recommend 24-30db attenuation. It seems silly to have to crank...

    Would you buy a demo bike ?

    The bikes in a Demo Day are not usually a dealership's bikes. If it were, it'd be used as it would also be a transfer from the manufacturer to the dealership. So, the real question is would you buy a Dealer's demo unit and that is going to depend on the dealership and their internal practices...

    Knowing Better

    Start a Designated Driver kind of system. Give your keys to someone. Might want to make sure that someone doesn't know how to ride or can't get into your garage though... Also helps with those early season start temptations too. "Man, I gotta drive all the way to their place for the key?!? Too...

    Considering a second bike

    As an owner of a 690 SMCR who trailers it to the gap roughly twice a year, I can definitely confirm that the 690 is amazing on the Gap and other tighter roads like Moonshiners. Also as an owner of a 690 SMCR who rides it in Ontario, I can definitely confirm that no combination of roads in...

    Considering a second bike

    I rode around on my ninja 300 for a few weeks exclusively by choice and switching back to my 790 Duke made me appreciate it all the more. Yeah, what I'm saying is not go as low as a 300, but you'll definitely remind yourself of what you love of your R1200RT if you spend some time on the...

    Considering a second bike

    I would give a different idea. Light and flickable is going to be a contrast to your RT, so why not check the third antithesis too which is less power. Wouldn't it be fun to ride a bike that you should rev the snot out of, something light, responsive, FUN? While not talking a beginner bike, why...
